Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the research plot of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University Farm, Dhaka during the period from February 2017 to
June 2017 to study the effect of leaf clipping and variety on growth and yield
of mungbean. The treatment consisted of two leaf clipping viz. C
o
=No leaf
clipping (control), C
1
=Leaf clipping (Removal of leaves having no
inflorescence) and six mungbean varieties viz. V

ii
= BARI Mung-1, V
2
= BARI
Mung-2, V
3
= BARI Mung-3, V
4
= BARI Mung-4, V
5
= BARI Mung-5, V
6
=
BARI Mung-6. The experiment was laid out in a two factors randomized
complete block design (RCBD) design with three replications. Leaf
clipping,vaiety and their interaction had significant influence on growth, yield
and yield components of mungbean. The tallest plant was obtained from
removal of empty leaf with BARI Mung-3.The highest pod length (9.88 cm),
number of pods plant
-1
(17.13), number of seeds pod
-1
(12.58), thousand seed
weight (55.52 g) was obtained from leaf clipping with BARI Mung-6
treatment. The highest seed yield (1.61 t ha
-1
) was obtained from BARI Mung6
with leaf clipping treatment combination while the lowest (0.78 t ha
) from
BARI Mung-1 with control treatment. The most of the parameters gave the best
performance which was achieved from BARI Mung-6. Again, leaf clipping
showed the best performance regarding most of the yield and yield contributing
parameters. In case of combined effect, BARI Mung-6 and removal of empty
leaf clipping gave the best result considering yield and yield contributing
parameters.
