Abstract:
The study was carried out at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka duringthe period from April to June of 2015 to find out the effect of differentcombinations of phosphorus and boron on growth and yield of a selected BARI
Mung-6. The treatments of the experiment were laid out with RandomizedComplete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. There were two factorsviz. phosphorus and boron. Four phosphorus levels viz. (i) P
0
= (Control), (ii) P
1
=
20 kgha
-1
, (iii) P
2
= 30 kg ha
-1
and (iv) P
3
= 40 kg ha
-1
and four levels boron viz. (i)
B
0
= (Control), (ii) B
1
= 1 kg ha
-1
, (iii) B
2
= 1.5kg ha
-1
and (iv) B
3
= 2kg ha
wereconsidered. The experimental findings revealed that the longest plant (83.71 cm),maximum number of leaves plant
-1
(23.27), maximum number of branches plant
(5.86), highest pod length (10.28 cm), highest number of pods plant
(35.47),highest number of seeds pod
-1
(11.6), highest 1000 seed weight (38.72 g), highest
grain yield (1.81 t ha
-1
), highest stover yield (2.86 t ha
-1
), highest biological yield(4.67 t ha
-1
) and the highest harvest index (38.80) were recorded from P
2
. The
highest protein content (14.78%) was recorded from P
2
B
2
-1
-1
B
1
and also from P
2
(14.71%). In conclusion, P
2
B
1
(30 kg P ha
-1
and 1 kg B ha
-1
) may give the
-1
B
1 maximum return in respects of yield and quality for the betterment of pulses
producers and eaters in Bangladesh.
