| dc.description | Agriculture is the single most important sector of the economy of
Bangladesh, where many crops like rice, wheat, maize, jute, pulses,
sugarcane, oil seeds, vegetables etc. are grown well. Pulses, out of the
crops constitute the main sources of plant protein, particularly for the poor
section of Bangladesh. These are also the best source of protein for
domestic animal. Pulses have been building and conserving soil fertility
since the beginning of agriculture. They also help to overcome the
malnutrition, which is a serious health problem in Bangladesh that has
been threatening to cripple the whole nation. Unfortunately, there is an
acute shortage of grain legume production in the country. In Bangladesh,
daily consumption of pulses in only 11.00 g per capita (BBS, 2004), while
World Health Organization (WHO) suggested 45 g per capita for a
balance diet (BARI, 1998). Approximately, 119,000 m ton pulses are
imported in sense in each year (BBS, 2004). But to provide the
above mentioned requirement of 45 g per capita per day, the production is
to be increased even more than three folds. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | An experiment was carried out at the field Laboratory of the Department of
Agronomy, HSTU, Dinajpur from April to July 2006, and the Laboratory
experiments from November 2006 to March 2007 to investigate the effect of
sulphur and boron on yield and quality of mungbean variety BARIMUNG- 5.
Four sulphur levels (viz. 0,15,30,45 kg ha’) and three boron levels (viz. 0, 5,
10 kg ha’') were included as the treatment. Results of the experiment revealed
that different levels of sulphur and boron had significant effect on yield, yield
attributes and quality of mungbean seed. Result also revealed that sulphur 30
kg and boron 5 kg ha’ significantly increased plant height, number of
branches plant’, number of pods plant’, number of seeds pod™', 1000 seed
weight, seed yield (kg ha’) and different seed qualitative characteristics viz.
protein content (%), germination (%) and vigour index . Among the different
doses of sulphur 30 kg and boron 5 kg ha” was the best in respect of yield
contributing characteristics and all the qualitative characteristics (except %
moisture content). In contrast, control (0 kg Sx0 kg B ha’') showed the
poorest performance in respect of yield and quality of mungbean seed. The
highest yield and quality seed was found in 30 kg S ha'x5 kg B ha’ and the
lowest in control. The present study clearly indicates that 30 kg S ha’! and 5
kg B ha” could be applied for increased yield and quality of mungbean seed. | en_US |
