Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to study the growth and yield of two mungbean
varieties under different agronomic management packages at the central
experimental farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka-1207, Bangladesh
during March to June, 2017. Treatments consisted of three varieties: V
= BARI
Mung-6, V

= BU mug 4, V

=Binamoog-8; and three levels of management i.e. M
=
Low management (Fertilizer 0-0-0 NPK kg ha
ii
-1
+ 40 kg seeds ha
-1
in broadcasting +
no pesticide application + no weeding), M
= Medium management (Fertilizer 20-1020
NPK
kg
ha
-1
+ 24 kg seeds ha

in line sowing (30 cm X Continuous) + pesticide
application + one hand weeding), M
= High management (Fertilizer 40-20-40 NPK
kg ha
-1
+ 24 kg seeds ha
-1
3
in line sowing + pesticide application + two hand
weedings). Results revealed that vegetative growth and yield of mungbean was
significantly influenced by different varieties and management practices where V
and M
gave the highest seed yield respectively. The highest seed yield 1190.10 kg
ha

3
was obtained from the interaction treatment V
3
M
due to the highest number of
pods plant
-1
, pod weight plant

, and 1000- seed weight. Medium fertilizer and one
hand weeding of M
reduced 28.87% yield whereas no fertilizer application, no
pesticide, no weeding and broadcasting sowing of M

1
reduced 87.34% yield.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the application of higher management practices
(high management= Fertilizer 40-20-40 NPK kg ha
-1
+ 24 kg seeds ha
in line
sowing + pesticide application + two hand weedings) had a positive impact on
different mungbean varieties.
