Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The results depicted that except plant height and 1000 grain weight all other recorded data did not show statistical significant differences due to different treatments. However, grain yield of the treatment T₆ had maximum grain yield (1316.5 kg ha^-1) followed by T₄ and T₅ produced the lowest grain yield. Thousand grain weight of the T6 treatment was the maximum (44.20 g). Other characters recorded also showed better performance in the treatment T_6.

Keywords: Yield, Boron application and Mungbean

Location: Bina Sub-station Farm, Ishurdi

Start Date: 15-03-2007

End Date: 30-06-2007

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mungbean

Objectives:

To evaluate the yield performance of Binamoog-5 under different timing and method of boron application

Methodology:

A field experiment was conducted with Binamoog-5 under different timing and method of boron application during Kharif-1, 2007 at the sub-station farm of Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture at Ishurdi. The treatments were T₁ = NPKS recommended dose (15, 25, 30 and 15 kg NPKS kg ha^-1 with high yield goal and low soil status, BARC-FRG 2005),T₂ = T₁+ basal application of boron @ 1 kg ha^-1,T₃ = T₁+ boron @ 1.0 kg ha^-1 (0.5 kg ha-1 as basal application and 0.5 kg ha^-1 as spraying by dissolving in water just at commencement of flowers,T₄ = T₁+ basal application of boron @ 2 kg ha-1,T₅ = T₁+ boron @ 2 kg ha^-1 (1 kg ha^-1 as basal application and 1 kg ha^-1 as spraying by dissolving in water just at the commencement of flowers,T₆ = T₁+ basal application of boron @ 3 kg ha^-1, T₇ = T₁+ boron @ 3 kg ha^-1 (1.5 kg ha^-1 as basal application and 1.5 kg ha^-1 as spraying by dissolving in water just at commencement of flowers and T₈= Farmer’s practice (without fertilizers). The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The unit plot was 4 m × 3 m. The data were recorded at harvest.

Achievement/Findings:

Boron application either as basal or foliar spray in summer mungbean did not show statistical significant differences in grain yields but doses of 2-3 kg ha^-1 had almost similar yield
