Abstract
An experiment was conducted at the research field of Sher–e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, during the period from March to July 2016 to study the effects of variety and foliar application of urea and boron on growth and yield of Blackgram. The experiment comprised of two varieties viz. V1 = BARI mash-2 and V2 = BARI mash-3 and eight levels of fertilizer management viz. T1 = Recommended fertilizer (RF), T2 = RF + Foliar spray (FS) of water at flower initiation (FI), T3 = RF + Urea (2%) FS at FI, T4 = RF + Boron (1%) FS at FI, T5 = RF + Urea (2%) + Boron (1%) FS at FI, T6 = Urea (2%) FS at FI, T7 = Boron (1%) FS at FI and T8 = Urea (2%) + Boron (1%) FS at FI. It was laid out in split-plot design with three replications. The results indicated that effects of variety and foliar application BARI mash-2 gave the highest plant (54.27cm), number of nodules plant-1(170.7), number of pods plant-1(31.70), pod length (4.58cm), 1000 seed weight (39.67 g), seed yield t ha-1 (1.29), stover yield t ha-1(1.64) and biological yield (2.93 t ha-1). So, the effects of variety BARI mash-2 with T5 (RF + Urea 2% + Boron 1% FS at FI) were suggested for better result on Blackgram cultivation.
