| dc.description.abstract | An experiment was conducted to find out the effect of different doses of lime on growth and
yield of mungbean genotypes at the research field and laboratory of Crop Physiology and
Ecology department, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur
during the period of March 2013 to June 2013. The experiment was conducted in a randomized
complete block design with three replications. Three mungbean varieties (viz. BARImung-5,
BARImung-6 and BINAmoog-6) and four levels of doses of lime (0.0, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 t ha-1
)
were included as experimental treatments. From the study it was observed that mungbean
varieties showed higher plant height, number of leaves plant-1
, leaf area plant-1
, dry weight plant1
and number of nodule plant-1 with addition of lime. Chlorophyll content of fully expanded
mature leaf at antheis was the higher value in variety BARImung-6 with liming treatment
compared to no lime treatment. All the growth parameters were performed better for the variety
BARImung-6 with 2.0 t/ha-1
of lime. Variety and doses of lime significantly influenced the
number pod plant-1
, pod length, number of seeds Pod-1
, 1000-seed weight, seed yield and straw
yield of mungbean. In general, liming treatment provided greater grain yield and yield
component compared to no liming treatment in all the varieties. BARImung-6 with the
application of 2.0 t ha-1
of lime produced the highest seed yield (1.64 t ha-1
) and the variety
BARImung-5 with no lime produced the lowest seed yield. Finally, it might be concluded that,
BARImung-6 with the application of 2.0 t ha-1
of dolomite were better for growth, development,
yield contributing characters, seed yield and straw yield of mungbean. | en_US |
