Abstract:
The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from March to June 2015
(kharif-I season) to find out the effect of different manures and inorganic
fertilizers on growth and yield of two selected mungbean varieties. The
experiment consisted of two factors: factor A: five levels of manures and
inorganic fertilizers;[ T
0
= Control (no fertilizer or manure) T
= Recommended
dose of fertilizer (45 kg urea ha
-1
+ 100 kg TSP ha
ii
-1
1
+ 58 kg MoP ha
=
Recommended dose of fertilizer + cowdung (3 t ha
-1
), T
= Recommended dose
of fertilizer + poultry manure (2 t ha
-1
), T
4
3
= Recommended dose of fertilizer +
vermicompost (2.5 t ha
-1
)] and factor B: two mungbean varieties; (V
= BARI
Mung 5 and V
= BARI Mung 6). The experiment was laid out in split plot
design with three replications. In case of manures and fertilizers, the maximum
grain yield (1.53 t ha
2
-1
) and maximum stover yield (1.88 t ha
-1
) was recorded
from T
treatment and minimum was from control treatment. In case of variety
the maximum grain yield (1.58 t ha
4
-1
) and minimum stover yield (1.45 t ha
)
was obtained from V
(BARI Mung 6) variety on the other hand the minimum
grain yield (1.29 t ha
2
-1
) and maximum stover yield (1.91 t ha
-1
) was obtained
from V
(BARI Mung 5) variety. In case of combined effect the maximum
grain yield (2.01 t ha
1
-1
) and maximum stover yield (2.61t ha
-1
) was recorded
from T
4
V
2
and minimum from T
0
V
. So, BARI Mung 6 performed the best
result with the application of vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha
1
-1
with recommended
dose of fertilizer.
