Response of Mungbean Varieties to Different Sowing Dates

Abstract

In order to investigate the effect of sowing dates on yield and yield components of mungbean varieties a two years field experiment was conducted during 2005 and 2006 in Iran. The experimental design was split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications. Main plots consisted of three sowing dates (May 30, June 14, 29) and sub plots were also allocated to six varieties (Partow, vc1973, vc1178, vc4152, NM92 and Pusa1973). Results of combined analysis showed that seed yield was significantly affected by sowing dates. The maximum seed yield (102.9 g m(-2)) was obtained in June 29 sowing date because the number of pods per plant and 1000-seeds weight were also increased. Varieties also responded significantly towards yield and yield components. The maximum seed yield (114.9 g m(-2)) was produced by vc4152 variety. Interaction effects of sowing dates and varieties were found significant, vc4152 variety sowing on June 29 gave the highest seed yield (134.7 g m(-2)).

Thermal energy utilization in mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) as influenced by sowing times and genotypes

“…Sattya was recorded with significantly minimum pod length. Similar variation among mungbean genotypes in respect of yield attributes was also confirmed by Miah et al,2009, Sarkar et al (2004 and Sadeghipour (2008).…”

“…During 2016 biological yield obtained with 2 nd fortnight June and 1 st fortnight of July sown crop were significantly at par. Singh et al (2015), Ram et al (2016), Sarkar et al (2004) and Sadeghipour (2008) had also reported higher seed and biological yield in early sown mungbean due to higher temperature conditions under delayed conditions. The biological yield differed significantly among mungbean genotypes during both years of study.…”

Effect of planting date, seed rate and row spacing on nodulation efficiency of bold seeded spring mungbean [<italic>Vigna radiata</italic> (L.) Wilczek] in Bundelkhand region of India

“…Low temperature at the sowing time (Feb 26) is also responsible for proper plant stand and uniform growth. Thus the crop sown after March 11 harboured by quite higher temperature than 35 0 C (Table 2) at reproductive phase of the crop which affected seed development and finally resulted lower seed yield and its quality parameters Dhanjal et al (2000), Ram et al (2000) and Sadeghipour, (2008) reported that sowing of mungbean in first fortnight of March temperature were in favour of germination and better growth resulted higher values of yield attributing characters and better diversion of photosynthates into grain yield. Higher grain yield of mungbean under March 11 sowing was probably due to higher grain yield per plant which was because of its attributes viz.…”

Effect of bradyrhizobial inoculation on growth and seed yield of mungbean in Fluvisol and Humofluvisol

“…Good yield performance can be achieved by proper combination of agro technical measures (Sarkar et al 2004;Rajput et al, 1992;Nazir 1996;Boe et al, 1991;El Karamany, 2006;Mansoor, 2007;Sadeghipour, 2008). In this trial appropriate time of sowing, plant density and line to line spacing were applied to provide available sunlight and aeration as well as more space and nutrition in the root zone.…”
