| dc.description.abstract | An attempt was made in the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Sylhet Agricultural University,
Sylhet during the period from January to December 2013 to investigate the performance of
mungbean varieties viz., BARI Mung-5 (V2) and BARI Mung-6 (V1), as influenced by
sowing time from January (S1) to December (S12) in Sylhet region. The experiment was
conducted in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications
assigning the sowing dates and varieties on the plots. Unit plot size was 10 m
(4.0 m × 2.5
m) with a spacing of 30×10 cm distance. The experimental plots were fertilized at the rate of
18, 32 and 21 kg ha

of N, P and K respectively for each sowing time and whole amount
applied as basal dose during final land preparation. Weeding, irrigation and other intercultural
operations were done as and when necessary. On an average about 60 days after sowing
(DAS) mungbean pods were harvested two times within 10 (ten) days interval for each of the
sowing times. The results of the experiment showed that variety had slightly or no significant
influence and sowing date exerted significant influence on most of the yield and yield
contributing characters of mungbean including plant m
