Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research sub-station, Daulatpur, Khulna during the rabi season of 2005-2006 to investigate the influence of sowing date on the performance of mungbean varieties as well as to avoid moisture stress caused due to late sowing after 15 January. Four varieties/line of mungbean such as BARI mug 2, BARI mug 5, BM 01 and Local were sown on different date under rainfed situation in a split-plot design. Among the mungbean varieties BM 01 performed better on 18 December sowing and 7 January sowing but BARI mug 2 performed better on 28 December sowing. It might be concluded that BM 01 followed by BARI mug 2 would be suitable for north-western non saline region provided that the sowing could be completed within 1st week of January to avoid moisture stress.

Keywords: Sowing date, Growth, Yield and components, Mungbean

Location: Daulatpur, Khulna

Start Date: 00-00-2005

End Date: 00-00-2006

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mungbean

Objectives:

The study was undertaken to find out optimum date of sowing for maximum growth and yield of mungbean for coastal non saline areas of Bangladesh.

Methodology:

The trial was conducted at Agricultural Research sub-station, Daulatpur, Khulna during the rabi season of 2005-2006. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The unit plot size was 2m x 2m. Three dates of sowing viz. 18 December 2005, 28 December 2005 and 07 January 2006 and four varieties/line of mungbean viz. BARI mug 2, BARI mug 5, BM 01, and Local variety were adopted in a split-plot design. Fertilizer was applied at the rate of 20-16-17-10 kg/ha of N, P, K and S respectively from urea, TSP, MP and gypsum. All Urea, TSP, MP and gypsum were applied as basal. All other intercultural operations and plant protections were done as and when necessary. Soil samples are collected at 15 days interval. Data on yield and yield attributes were collected and analyzed statistically following ‘MSTAT’ program. The means were separated by LSD.

Achievement/Findings:

Among the mungbean varieties BM 01 performed better on 18 December sowing and 7 January sowing but BARI mug 2 performed better on 28 December sowing. It might be concluded that BM 01 followed by BARI mug 2 would be suitable for north-western non saline region provided that the sowing could be completed within 1st week of January to avoid moisture stress.
