Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A screening program was conducted at the farmer’s field at FSRD site, Jalalpur, Sylhet during rabi season of 2011-12 to select suitable varieties and to popularize and disseminate BARI developed Mungbean varieties. Five varieties of Mungbean viz. BARI Mung-2, BARI Mung-3, BARI Mung-4, BARI Mung-5 and BARI Mung-6 were used in this screening trail. Results showed the tallest plant (42.67cm) was obtained from BARI Mung-5 and the lowest (33.33 cm) from BARI Mung-5. Pod plant-1 was higher (17.67) in BARI Mung-3 and the lowest (13.50) in BARI Mung-4. Seed pod^-1 was higher in BARI Mung-6 than the others. BARI Mung-6 produced the highest yield (0.87tha^-1) and it was statistically identical with BARI Mung-5 and BARI Mung-2. The lowest seed yield (0.59 tha^-1) was recorded from BARI Mung-4 and BARI Mung-3.

Keywords: Performance, Mungbean, Sylhet region

Location: FSRD, Jalalpur, Sylhet

Start Date: 15-03-2011

End Date: 22-05-2011

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Non-commodity: Performance

Objectives:

To select suitable mungbean varieties for haor areas.

Methodology:

This screening program was conducted in the farmer’s field at FSRD site, Jalalpur, Sylhet during Kharif season of 2012. A whole day visit was done for convincing cooperator farmers to cultivate high yielding Mungbean varieties. Five varieties of Mungbean viz. BARI Mung-2, BARI Mung-3, BARI Mung-4, BARI Mung-5 and BARI Mung-6 were used in this screening trail. Four cooperator farmers were selected for the study. The trial was set up in randomized complete block design with four dispersed replications. The unit plot size was 20 m² with plant spacing of 30 cm x 10 cm. Fertilizers @ N20 P26 K17 S10 kg/ha were applied during final and preparation. All the fertilizers were applied as basal. The seeds were sown on 15-18 March 2011. Plant protection measures were taken as required. Other intercultural operations were done as and when required. Mung was harvested on 22-26 May 2011 by three picking of pods. Data on yield and yield contributing characters of crops were recorded and analyzed following MSTAT C software and means were adjudged by LSD test (Gomez and Gomez, 1984).

Achievement/Findings:

Among the tested varieties, BARI Mung-6 performed better compare to other varieties intern of yield. From the study it may be concluded that BARI Mung-6 may be included into the farmers' existing cropping pattern to increase production in the study areas.
