Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was carried out at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during October 2014 to March 2015 to study the growth and yield performance of field pea varieties as influenced by the date of sowing. The experiment comprised of two factors namely, date of sowing and variety. The date of sowing comprised 29 October, 13 November, and 28 November, and the variety comprised of BARI motor-1, BADC motor-1, Natore local, and Narail local. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications. The results indicate that all the growth characters were varied significantly on different days after. Those growth characters except leaf area index were highest for the crop sown on 28 November. The growth characters were highest in variety Natore local and lowest in Narail local except dry matter it was lowest in BADC motor-1. The interaction effect of 28 November sowing, Natore local was highest for all of the growth parameters except leaf area index it was highest on 13 November sowing and the interaction on 29 October sowing BARI motor-1 gave the lowest value. Most of the yield contributing parameters are significantly affected by the sowing date. The highest seed yield (827.7 kg ha-¹) and other yield contributing characters were found on early sowing (13 November) and the lowest seed yield (534 kg ha-¹) and other yield contributing characters were at 28 November sowing. Variety had a significant effect on yield and yield contributing parameters. The highest seed yield (1032.2 kg ha-¹) and Stover yield (3221.35 kg ha-¹) were obtained from Natore local while Narail local gave the lowest (469.1 kg ha-¹) seed yield and lowest Stover yield. The interaction of 13 November with Natore local gave the highest seed yield (1319.3 kg ha-¹) and the lowest seed yield was produced by Narail local (330.35 kg ha-¹) by late sowing (28 November). It can be concluded that vegetative growth was highest at 28 November sowing and yield components gave the highest value on 13 November sowing. The highest yield was produced by Natore local on 13 November sowing but the yield was reduced drastically when the crop was sown on 28 November. So, it is clear that the optimum date of sowing for field pea is at 13 November.

End Date: 00-03-2015

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Fieldpea

Objectives:

To investigate the effect of sowing date on the growth, yield, and yield components of field pea varieties, the field experiment was planned.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to study the growth and yield performance of field pea varieties as influenced by the date of sowing. The experimental field was medium-high land with moderate drained conditions. The land was silty loam in texture having a soil pH value of 6.5, low in organic matter content that is 2.11% and its general fertility level was also low. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications. Each replication was divided into three main plots and each of the main plots was then sub-divided into four unit plots. The date of sowing was assigned in the main plots and varieties in the subplot. The total numbers of unit plots were 36. The area of each unit plot was 6.0 m×2.0 m having a sub-plot to sub-plot distance of 0.75 m. The distance between the main plots was 1.0 m. The treatments were randomly assigned to the plots within each replication. Three sowing dates: i) 29 October sowing (D1), ii) 13 November sowing (D2), iii) 28 November sowing (D3) and four Pea variety) BARI motor-1 (V1), ii) BADC motor-1 (V2), iii) Natore local (V3), iv) Narail local (V4) was used in this experiment. The mean air temperature during the crop cycle was maximum (27.5⁰c) in October 2014 and minimum (18.9⁰c) in January 2015. Other recommended crop management practices were followed. Growth parameter such as leaf area index, dry matter production was determined at 45, 60 and 75 DAS. Three plants were randomly selected from each replication to collect data on leaf area index, dry weight. For the leaf area Index, leaves of three plants from each replication and their area were measured by an automatic leaf area meter (Type AAN-7, Hayashi Dam Ko Co., Japan). The collected data were analyzed statistically using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique with the help of computer package M- STAT and mean differences were adjudged by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (Gomez and Gomez, 1984) [8].

Achievement/Findings:

It could be concluded that sowing date, variety, and their interaction had a significant effect on the growth, yield, and yield attributes of field pea. Late sowing (28 November) of field pea reduced the seed yield by 30% obtained from the early sowing (13 November). Nature local gave the highest seed yield at 13 November sowing but a reduction of yield has occurred at 28 November sowing and the lowest seed yield was produced by Narail local sown on 28 November. The above result revealed that the growth and yield of field pea varied due to varieties, date of sowing as well as interaction. Among four varieties Natore local gave the highest yield at 13 November sowing. Therefore it is suggested to sow Natore local field pea variety in Mid- November.
