EFFECT OF NITROGEN AND SULFUR ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF MUNGBEAN | Asian Journal of Plant and Soil

In a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications, a field experiment was conducted at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University's research farm in Dhaka from March to May 2019 to investigate the effects of nitrogen and sulphur on mungbean development and yield. In the trials, three levels of nitrogen (0, 15 & 25 kg ha-1, abbreviated as N0, N1, N2 accordingly) and three levels of sulphur were used ( 0, 20 & 25 kg ha-1 designated as S0, S1 & S2 respectively). The number of seeds per pod, weight of 1000 seeds, and yield (1.11 t ha-1) increased significantly as nitrogen dosages were increased up to 15 kg N ha-1 (N1). Increasing nitrogen doses to 25 kg N ha-1, on the other hand, produced in significant increases in plant height at final harvest, number of branches, number of pods, and stover output (2.76 t ha-1) (N2 treatment). Plant height at final harvest, number of branches, weight of 1000 seeds, yield (1.04 t ha-1) and stover output (1.86 t ha-1) all rose significantly up to treatment S1 (20 kg S ha-1). Plant height at final harvest, number of branches, seeds per pod, pod length, weight of 1000 seeds, yield (1.57 t ha-1) and stover yield(2.53 t ha-1) increased up to N2S2 (25 kg N + 25 kg S ha-1) treatment, but N2S1 treatment combination (25 kg N + 20 kg S ha-1) showed statistically similar results to N2S2 (25 kg N + 25 kg S ha-1) treatment.
