INFLUENCE OF LEVELS OF POULTRY MANURE ON YIELD AND NPK CONTENT IN SEED OF MUNGBEAN (Pages : 12 - 15)
M.I. MAINUL, W.S. RUPA, KH. ASHRAFUZZAMAN, H. MEHRAJ AND A.F.M. JAMAL UDDINAn experiment was conducted at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Farm, Dhaka during the period from February to April of 2012 to find out the effect of different levels of poultry manures on growth and yield performance as well as nutrient content of mungbean (BARI Mung 6). Four levels of poultry manure viz. P0 (Control i.e., no poultry manure), P1 (4 t ha-1), P2 (7 t ha-1) and P3 (10 t ha-1) were applied on the experiment which was followed by Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Tallest plant (40.44 cm), maximum number of leaves/plant (19.01), number of branches/plant (10.21), average dry weight/plant (7.16 g), number of pods/plant (14.59), number of seeds/pod (4.40), 1000-seed weight (41.56 g), seed yield (1.01 t ha-1), stover yield (1.93 t ha-1), N content in seed (3.56%), P content in seed (0.47%) and K content in seed (1.25%) were found from P3 (10 t ha-1) which was statistically similar with P2 (7 t ha-1) in most of the parameters whereas minimum from P0 (Control).Download
