Abstract:
The experiment was undertaken in February 2019 to June 2020 in the net house
of Agricultural Chemistry Department, Sher-e-Bangla, Dhaka, Bangladesh
effects of salinity on germination, initial growth stage and nutrient contents of
mungbean. In this experiment, the treatment consisted of four mungbean
varieties viz., V

= Binamung 5, V
=Binamung 7 and five salinity levels (0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 dSm

). The experiment
was set in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) having two factors with
three replications. Results showed that a significant variation was observed
among the treatments in respect of majority of the observed parameters. The
collected data were statistically analyzed for evaluation of the treatment effect.
Data were collected on germination percentage, population density, plant
height, number of leaves per plant, length of root. A statistically significant
variation was recorded in terms of all the characters related to growth and
chemical analysis. The maximum plant height, number of leavess per plant,
length of root was produced by Binamung 7. The maximum plant height,
number of leave per plant, length of root was observed in levels of 0 dS
.
Among the combined effects of varieties and salinity levels, plant height,
number of leaves per plant, root length was found in Binamung 7 with 0 dSm
level and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 dSm
-1
salinity levels. Among the four varieties, K
content was highest in BARI Mung 6 among the other three varieties. In both
varieties K content decreased significantly with the increasing salinity level. Na
content was highest in BARI Mung 5 than Binamung 7. N and P content was
highest in BARI Mung 6.
