Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka
during the period from March to June 2021, to study the growth and yield values of
mungbean varieties to planting geometry. The experiment comprised of two factors
like, (i) varieties (3) viz., V
1
= BARI Mung-5, V
2
ii
= BARI Mung-6, V
3
= Binamoog-8
and (ii) planting geometry (4) viz., P
1
= Broadcast, P
2
=Paired row (15 cm × 10 cm) cm,
P
3
= Square planting (20 cm × 20 cm) and P
4
= Row sowing (30 cm × 10 cm) and
followed split plot design with three replications. Result showed that, variety, planting
geometry and their combination had significant effect on growth, yield contributing
parameters and yield of mungbean. Binamoog-8 showed maximum yield (1.76 t ha
)
with pods plant
-1
(21.37), pod length plant
-1
(7.09 cm), seeds pod
-1
(11.98), 1000-seed
weight (50.76 g), biological yield (4.34 t ha
-1
) and harvest index (40.65 %) maximum
compared to others varieties. In case of planting geometry results revealed that, the
conventional spacing management (30 cm × 10 cm) influenced plant to yielding
maximum (1.59 t ha
(21.67), pod length plant
-1
) with several yield contributing characters like pods plant
-1
(7.33 cm), seeds pod
-1
(12.45) and 1000-seed weight (49.25
g). In case of different planting geometry the lowest seed yield (1.47 t ha
) was
obtained from P
1
(Broadcasting). Binamoog-8 along with spacing 30 cm × 10 cm
(V
3
P
4
) found suitable combination for maximum growth, yield and yield contributing
parameters of mungbean. Thus, this management could help farmers to have increased
production of mungbean.
