PERFORMANCE OF MUNGBEAN (BARI Mung 6) TO DIFFERENT NITROGEN LEVELS

An experiment was conducted at the experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh during the period from February to April of 2012 to find out the effect of different levels of nitrogen on growth and yield performance as well as nutrient content of mungbean (BARI Mung 6). Four levels of nitrogen, viz., N₀ (Control), N₁ (10 kgha-1), N₂ (20 kgha^-1) and N₃ (25 kgha^-1) were used on experiment followed by Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Maximum plant height (40.52 cm), number of leaves (19.14), number of branches (10.09), average dry weight/plant (7.35 g), number of pods/plant (15.90), number of seeds/pod (4.49), 1000-seed weight (42.56 g), seed yield (1.06/ha), stover yield (2.08/ha), N content in seed (3.60), P content in seed (0.48) and K content in seed (1.26) were found in N₃ which was statistically similar with N₂ whereas minimum from N₀.
