Abstract:
The experiment was conducted during the period from March 20, 2014 to June
20, 2014 at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Farm to find out the growth
and yield of mungbean (BARI Mung-6) as affected by soil moisture regimes [i)

-No watering ii) Sm

-1/2 of field capacity iii) Sm
-Field capacity] and
planting methods [i) Pm

- Sowing in furrow without watering ii) Pm

- Sowing in furrow with watering
at the bottom of furrow]. The design of the experiment was split-plot design
where soil moisture given in the main plot and planting method in the sub plot
with three replications. The highest values of all growth and reproductive
parameters were obtained with Sm

while the lowest with Sm

.The highest
values of germination (84.42%), plant height (62.89 cm at 45 DAS), number of
branches plant
