Abstract:
An experiment was carried out at Agronomy farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University,
Dhaka to investigate the influence of system of crop intensification method use in
blackgram cultivationduring the period from March to June, 2015. The trial comprised of
three varieties of blackgram viz. V
1
= Munshigonj Local, V
2
= BARI Mash-2 and V
= BARI
Mash-3 and five plant spacings viz. SP
1
= 30cm × 10cm (control), SP
=20cm × 20cm
SP
3
=30cm × 30cm, SP
4
= 40cm × 40cm and SP
= 50cm × 50cm. The experiment was laid out
in a split-plot design with three replications having variety in the main plots and plant spacing
in the sub-plots. The fertilizers were applied as basal dose @ N, P and K as 20, 17.20 and
17.6 kg ha
-1
5
, respectively at final land preparation in all plots. Results of the experiment
revealed that, BARI Mash-2 influenced significantly most of the growth, yield attributes
and yield of blackgram. BARI Mash-2 produced maximum seed yield (1.38 t ha
) and plant
spacing 50cm × 50cm gave the higher seed yield pant
-1
(17.31 g) but 30cm ×10cm gave highest
seed yield (1.49 t ha
-1
). While the highest seed yield (1.80 t ha
-1
) was recorded form BARI
Mash-2 with plant spacing 30cm ×10cm and the minimum (0.66 t ha
-1
) was recorded from
Munshigonj local along with spacing 50cm × 50cm
