Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at the Research Field, SAU. Dhaka, in the
Kharf7!
season during the period from August 2013 to November 2013 to
study the effect of row spacing and growth regulator (NAA) on growth and
yield of munghean. The experiment consists of four levels of
NAA viz. 0, 20,
40 and 60 ppm and three different spacing viz. 20 cm
x
10 cm, 30 cm
x
10 cm
and 40 cm
x
10 cm. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete
block design with three replications. The result indicated significant variations
in plant height, number of branches plant', leaf dry weight, stem dry weight,
root dry weight, number of pod plant', pod length, number of seed plant',
weight of 1000 seeds, grain yield, stover yield, biological yield and harvest
index due to row spacing and/or plant growth regulator (NAA). The treatment
combinations, the maximum plant height, number of branches plant', leaf dry
weight, stem dry weight, root dry weight and leaf area index were recorded
with 30cm
x
10cm when treated with 40 ppm NAA irrespective of growing
period. This combination also exhibited maximum number of pods plant
1,
longest pod length and maximum number of seed pod* The maximum weight
of 1000 seeds, highest grain yield and harvest index were found when
mungbean was sown with row spacing in 30cm
ppm NAA.
