EFFECT OF DIFFERENT SOWING DATES ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF MUNGBEAN (Vigna radiate L.) (Pages : 5 - 10)

The field experiment was carried out during January 2019 to first week of April 2019 at the field Agriculture of Noakhali Science and Technology University to find out the suitable sowing date and observed effect of different sowing dates on growth and yield of BARI Mung-5. The experiment was conducted considering only one factor i.e., different sowing dates. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications and three treatments. The treatments consisted of three dates of sowing viz. 1st January (S1), 15th January (S2) and 30th January (S3). Results from this experiment had shown that, the yield performance of mungbean (BARI Mung-5) responded significantly to different sowing time. The highest plant height (29.2 cm), branch plant-1 (6.40), seed pod-1 (6.46), pod length (6.01 cm) and maximum pod plant-1 (29.06) was obtained from the sowing date of 15th January and the highest weight of 1000 seed (46.34 gm) was found from the sowing date of 1st January. The result of the study indicated that, BARI Mung-5 with the sowing date of 15th January produced the highest seed yield (1.82 tha-1). The plant height, pod length (cm) and seed plant-1 were found statistically non-significant according to the result of the experiment while branches plant-1, pod plant-1, 1000- seed weight (gm) and yield (tha-1) was obtained statistically significant on different dates of sowing.Download
