Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The field trial was conducted at Benarpota Farm, Sathkhira, FSRD site Noakhali and Kuakata, Potuakhali during the rabi season of 2008-09 to assess whether salt tolerance in BM 01 and BM 08 under pot culture has relationship with that under field condition. Five mungbean varieties /lines viz. BM- 01, BM-08, BARI mug-2, BARI mug -5 and local were tested in a randomized block design with three replications. The salt tolerant line BM 08 and BM 01 showed better adaptability at all three locations in the coastal area. Significantly the highest yield was obtained from BM 08 (1.44 t/ha) and BM 01 (0.71 t/ha) at Noakhali and Benarpota, respectively. The results indicated that the salt tolerance in BM 08 and BM 01 made in pot culture showed consistence with that made under field condition.

Keywords: Performance, Salt tolerant mungbean, Coastal areas

Location: ARS, Benarpota, Sathkhira, Noakhali and Kuakata, Potuakhali

Start Date: 00-00-2008

End Date: 00-00-2009

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mungbean

Objectives:

To assess whether salt tolerance in BM 01 and BM 08 under control condition (pot culture) has relationship with that under field condition.

Methodology:

The field trial was conducted at Benarpota Farm, Sathkhira, FSRD site Noakhali and Kuakata, Potuakhali during the rabi season of 2008-09. Five mungbean varieties /lines viz. BM- 01, BM-08, BARI mug-2, BARI mug -5 and local were tested in the experiment. The unit plot size was 3 m x 2 m. Seeds were sown in 30 cm x 5 cm line following RCB design with three replications. Fertilizers @ of 20-16-15-10 kg/ha of N-P-K-S was applied as basal. Mungbean was sown on 10 February 2009 at Noakhali, 20 December at Potuakhali and 26 January 2009 at Benarpota. Weeding, thinning and all other intercultural operations were done as and when necessary. Soil salinity level was measured 15 days interval from sowing to harvesting of the crop.. Data on yield and yield components were collected from five randomly selected plants from each plot. The collected data were analyzed statistically following ‘MSTAT’ programme.

Funding Source:

1. Asian Development Bank

Budget: 45,000/-

Total Budget (Tk.) : 45,000/-

Achievement/Findings:

The salt tolerance in BM-08 followed by BM-01 made in pot culture showed consistence with that observed under field condition. The salt tolerant line BM-08 and BM-01 showed better adaptability in coastal area. The results showed similarity for the last three years. Pilot production programme should be taken in the next season for large scale demonstration.
