Effect of DAP fertilizer and Seed Rate on Two Varieties of Mung bean as Forage Crop

Abstract

Afield experiment was carried outat the farm of the College of Agricultural Studies in Sudan University of Sciences and Technology at Shambat. In summer season of (2016).To study the effect of seed rate and fertilizer on growth and Forage yield of two varieties (Beladi & C24).of mungbean (vignaradiata L. wilczek). The experiment was designed in Randomized Complete Block design (RCBD) in three replicate , the main plots contained two mung bean varieties: (Beladi & C24). Subplots three seed rate, seed rate one(SR1-10seed in hole),seed rate two(SR2-6seed) as control, seed rate three(SR3-4seed),and fertilizer doses(71.3g/ha) one with sowing(d1) ,and other monthAfter sowing (d2). Five growth characterizes were measuredincluding plant height, stem thickness, number of branches /plant number of leaves /plant, and plant densityOn the other hand the forage yield(kg/ha) of mung bean contained fresh and dry weight. The result relieved that there was significant effect of verities on plant height,number of branches, number of leaves and plant density alsohighly significant on fresh and dry weight, Baladi variety achieved better result compared toC24 highly significant on fresh and dry weight, Moreover seed rate had significant on plant height, plant density, and fresh and dry weight. Doses on number of branches, number of leaves. Verities and seed rate interaction had significant effect onnumber of branches, high plant density,. Interactionbetween three characterizes is no significant
