Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study was undertaken to see the performance of three modern varieties of mungbean viz., Binamung-1, Binamung-4 and BARImung-2 under six dates of sowing from 15 September to 30 November during 1998-99. Results revealed that all the cultivars sown within period 15 September and 30 September produced significantly higher seed yield compared to later dates. The maximum seed yields were obtained when all the varieties planted on 15 to 30 September due to higher number of pods/plant. Binamung-4 produced the highest seed yield when planted within 15 September to 15 October. The average seed yield over sowing dates, Binamung-4 performed the best among the three cultivars.

Keywords: Mungbean, Time sowing, Kharif-II season, Performance, Variety

Location: Experimental farm, BINA, Rangpur

Start Date: 15-09-1999

End Date: 22-02-1999

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mungbean

Objectives:

To evaluate the performance of mungbean varieties under different dates of sowing in autumn-winter season at the northern region of Bangladesh.

Methodology:

Experiments were conducted at Experimental farm of Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture, Rangpur during September to February 1998-99. The experiment comprised of six sowing dates viz., 15 September, 30 September, 15 October, 30 October, 15 November and 30 November and three cultivars viz., Binamung-1, Binamung-4 and BARImung-2. The experiments were laid out in a split plot design with 3 replicates assigning sowing dates in the main plots and cultivars in the sub-plots. Unit plot size was 3m x 3m with 30 cm x 10 cm plant spacing. Recommended fertilizers were applied during final land preparation. At harvest, data on yield components were taken from 10 randomly selected plants of each plot and seed yield was taken from the whole plot. The collected data were analyzed statistically.
