A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of
variety and irrigation on the yield and quality of mungbean at the Agronomy
Field Laboratory of Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Patuakhali
(coastal belt) of Bangladesh. The experiment consisted of two factors viz.
variety (V1 = BARI mung-2, V2 = BARI mung-5, V3 = BARI mung-6) and irrigation
(T1 = One irrigation: 15 days after sowing, T2 = Two irrigations: 15 and 30
days after sowing and T3=Three irrigations: 15, 30 and 45 days after sowing).
Experimental results showed that the variety BARI mung-6 showed significantly
the highest values in plant length (42.80 cm), number of leaf plant-1 (11.93),
number of branches plant-1 (5.58), number of pods plant-1 (14.29), length of
pod (8.62cm), number of seeds pod-1 (9.55), 1000 seed weight (46.00 g), seed
yield (1.16 tha-1), stover yield (2.20 tha-1), biological yield (3.36 t ha-1),
harvest index (34.52%), germination percent (94.33), co-efficient of germination
(55.93) and seedling vigor (22.12). In respect of irrigation, the treatment T3
performed the best in almost all the characters. The interaction treatment V3T3
showed significantly the highest values in plant length (47.13cm), number of
leaf plant-1 (13.53), number of branches plant-1(6.83), length of pod (9.25cm),
number of seeds pod-1(10.21), 1000 seed weight (47.70 g), seed yield (1.25 t
ha-1), stover yield (2.38 t ha-1), biological yield (3.63 tha-1), harvest index
(34.44%), germination (96.00%) and seedling vigor (23.37).
