Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the farm of Sher-e-Bangta .Agricultural University, Dltaka.
Bangladesh during the period from March to May 2007 to (md out the eiièct of inoculation
and fertilization on the growth and yield ofmunebean. The variety 13AR1 mung 5 was used as
the test crop. The experiment consist Fourteen treatments. Data on difibrent yield coriirtbiuing
characters and yield were recorded to study the (Fleet of inoculation and fertilization. At 50
DAS, the tallest plant ($0.43 clii) was recorded From 114 and the shortest
(43.35
cm) was
recorded from Ti. The same trends were followed at 20 DAS, 3ODAS and 40 DAS. The
maximum number of nodules per plant (22.60) was recorded from TI.: whereas the minimum
(13.20) was recorded from 1,. Maximum total dry matter per plant was recorded horn '1'14
and
where bio-fertilizer and chemical fertilizer used but closely followed by hio- fertilizer without
urea. There was trend 10 increase crop growth rate with the advancement of days from 40-50
DAS. There were no signileant difièrcnee between treatment 'l', and 1j3 where rhizobittm
used in both treatments. Yield attributes such as branches plant', pods plant', length of pod
and seeds pod' was recorded maximum fioni the treatments rhizohium with NPK or MP
combination. But single application of urea or iSP or MP showed similar (rend with no
fertilizer when lowest yield attributes were found. Seed weight also showed similar behavior.
Seed yield showed maximum yield from bio-fertilizcr and NPK combination while, it was
closely followed by bio-fertilizer with PK and NPK Ièrtihizer combination. Stover yield also
followed similar pattern as in seed yield. From above discussion it is found that Urea could
he substituted by rhizobiuni but P and K needs to be applied for higher seed yield.
