Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University
Farm, Dhaka during the period from September, 2013 to December, 2013 to study
the effectiveness of phosphorus and boron alone and in combination on the growth
and yield of BARI Mung
5 (Vig-naradiata).
The experiment included three levels
of phosphorus viz., 0, 20 and 40 kg P ha and three levels of boron viz., 0,
0.75,
and 1,5
kg B hi'. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block
Design with three replications. Phosphorus showed significant influence on yield
and yield attributes of mungbean. Application of phosphorus @ 40 kg ha
produced the highest plant height, number of branches plant'. pod plani', pod
length, seeds pod', 1000-seed weight, grain yield and stover yield. In all cases the
lowest values were found with the control treatment. Application of boron @ 1.5
kg hi'
gave the highest plant height, number of branches plant", pods plant
-',
seeds pod', pod length, 1000-seed weight, grain yield, and stover yield. In all
cases the lowest values are found in the control treatment. Combined application
of phosphorus @ 40 kg and boron @ 1.5 kg hi'resulted the highest plant height,
number of branches plant', pods plant'
]
, seeds pod", pod length, 1000-seed
weight, seed yield (1.79 1/ha), and stover yield(2.96 ton/ha). Phosphorus and boron
alon or in combined application showed significant effect on yield and yield
attributes of mungbean. The addition of P and B not only increased the yield but
also protect the soil from total exhaustion of nutrients.
