Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Daulatpur, Khulna and Kalapara, Patuakhali during rabi 2005-07 to investigate the effect of sowing date on the performance of mungbean varieties/lines. Four varieties/lines of mungbean (BM-01, BARI Mung-2, BARI Mung-5 and Local) were sown on different date under rainfed situation. The date of sowing had no significant effect on yield of mungbean. Among the varieties BM-01 produced higher yield from 07 January sowing followed by BM-01 of December 18 sowing at Khulna but BARI Mung-2 in both the sowing date at Patuakhali.

Keywords: Date of sowing, mungbean Rainfed

Location: Rajshahi, Khulna, Patuakhali

Start Date: 18-12-2005

End Date: 25-02-2007

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mungbean

Objectives:

To find out optimum date of sowing for maximum growth and yield of mungbean

Methodology:

The trial was conducted at Agricultural Research Sub-Station, Daulatpur, Khulna and Kalapara, Patuakhali during rabi season, 2005-07. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The unit plot size was 2mX2m. There were three dates of sowing, namely, 18 December 2005, 28 December 2005 and 2007. January 2006 at Khulna but 12 and 22 December, 2005 at Patuakhali. Four varieties/lines of mungbean viz. BM-01, BARI Mung-2, BARI Mung-5 and local were included in the study. The lands were fertilized with 20-40-20kg/ha of N, P₂O₅ and K₂O respectively before sowing. Four hand weeding was done. Soil samples were collected at 15 days interval. Insecticide was applied to control insect. Data on different yield and yield attributes were collected and analyzed statistically.

Achievement/Findings:

Daulatpur, Khulna: The highest population was obtained from December 28 sowing. Among the four varieties tested, higher plants/m2 was recorded from local variety followed by BM-1. But the highest plant height was obtained from BARI Mung-5. Pods/plant was not differed between three varieties except BARI Mung-5 which showed lower pod/plant. Seeds/pod was statistically identical among three varieties except BARI Mung-2. But bolder seed weight was recorded from BARI Mung-5 and small seed from local variety. Yield between BM01 and local were statistically at par and higher than other two varieties. Significantly the highest seed yield was recorded from BM01.Plantheight was maximum from December sowing with variety local followed by BARI Mung of 1 January sowing and local variety of December 28 sowing. Higher plant/m2 was recorded from December 28 sowing of local variety followed by BARI Mung-5, BM01 and local of January and December 28 sowing. Local variety showed higher seeds/pod in local variety of all date of sowing. January 7 of BARI Mung-5 gave higher seed weight followed by BARI Mung-5 of December sowing. Higher seed yield was recorded from 7 January sowing of BM01 followed by December 18 sowing of same variety. Kalapara, Patuakhali: BARI mung-5 Gave statistically similar yield with BARI mung-2 in first sowing, but gave lower yield in 2nd sowing. BARI mung-2 was observed as a salt tolerant variety than BARI mung-5. Seedling establishment was hampered in January2005 and 2006 sowing; perhaps due to lack of moisture and/or increasing salinity.Soil salinity increased with the increase of soil dryness in saline areas. This is why early sowing in saline areas was recommended.The line BM-01 showed higher seed yield from January 7 sowing followed by same line of 18 December sowing but BARI Mung-2 in the both date of sowing.
