Impacts of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizers on Growth and Yield of Country Bean (Lablab Purpureus L.) in Summer Season

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted from April to September in 2018 at Nobogram Agro farm, Noakhali, Bangladesh. The experiment was done to determine the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of country bean (Lablab purpureus L.) in Summer Season. The experiment comprises on country bean local variety named ‘Epsha-2’. There were four treatments viz., T1= Control (no fertilizer are used), T2= Inorganic (TSP 0.50 gm/pit + Gypsum 200 gm/pit + MOP 250 gm/pit), T3= Cowdung (5 kg/pit) and T4= FYM (5 kg/pit) and the experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with six replications. The parameters of the experiment were the percentage of seed germination, plant height at four-leaf stage (cm), days to first flowering (days), number of pod per plant, individual pod length (cm), pod width (cm) and pod weight (gm).Among all treatments farmyard manure (FYM) was responsible for a higher percentage of seed germination (100%), maximum plant height during four-leaf stage (6.08 cm), accelerated days to first flowering (48 days), increased pod number per plant (220.33), the maximum number of individual pod length (6.87 cm), pod width (2.07 cm) and pod weight (5.53 gm) over other treatments in summer country bean. So the results showed that farmyard manure strongly influenced plant growth and yield component of the country bean. In brief, application of FYM is necessary to increase country bean production in summer season.

Effect of Biofertilization , Potassium Humate and Rates of Npk Fertilization on Growth, Yield and Economic Indicators of Soybean.

“…While some enzymes are activated by potassium, and K+ ions are crucial in controlling the stomatal guard cells of leaves, photosynthesis is also boosted by cell division, elongation, and the metabolism of carbohydrates and protein molecules. This has the support of (Raihan et al, 2021).…”

Effects of Plant Population Density on the Growth, Survival Rate and Yield of Common Beans (Phaseolus spp.) Cultivated under Tropical Climate

“…The yield of both butter and french beans was determined by the pod number, pod length and pod weight (Attia and Sary, 2021;Raihan, 2021). The experiment result showed no significant differences in the pod number for butter and french beans cultivated under the different plant-to-plant spacing in both trials, as shown in Table 5.…”

“…the height and stem girth (Attia and Sary, 2021;Dharmawan et al, 2021;Eboibo et al, 2018;Raihan et al, 2021;Sharma et al, 2021).…”

Growing Condition and Varietal Impact on Growth Performance and Yield of Yard Long Bean (Vigna unguiculata) Varieties Cultivated under Tropical Climate

“…To further determine the plant's growth, the yard-long bean's stem girth and plant height data were collected (Attia and Sary, 2021;Dharmawan et al, 2021;Eboibi et al, 2018;Raihan et al, 2021;Sharma et al, 2021). The secondary growth of a plant is characterized by an increase in the thickness or circumference of the stems.…”

“…The yield of the three varieties of the yard-long bean was determined by the pod number, pod length and pod weight (Attia and Sary, 2021;Raihan et al, 2021). The results of Trial 1, Trial 2 and Trial 3 indicate that the pod number was significantly the highest in the JS15P variety of yard-long bean.…”
