of blackgram in Jamalpur region (AEZ-9) of Bangladesh. Pooled analysis exhibited
a significant variation among the varieties in respect of seed yield. Barimash-3
produced the highest seed yield (977 kg/ha) which was statistically similar
to that of Binamash-1 (960 kg/ha). Barimash-2 produced the lowest seed yield
(866 kg/ha). Sowing dates exerted significant effect on seed yield. First sowing
(31st August) produced significantly highest seed yield (1168 kg/ha) while the
lowest seed yield (541 kg/ha) was found in the latest (28 September) sowing.
Interaction also produced significant effect on seed yield. The highest seed
yield (1225 kg/ha) was recorded from Barimash-3 with August sowing while the
lowest (404 kg/ha) was found in Barimash-2 with Sep. 28 sowing. All varieties
produced maximum seed yield with August sowing. Barimash-3 and Binamash-1 performed
better than others with delayed sowing up to Sep. 14 during both years.]]>Ahmed, N.,19841st Edn.,pp: 55pp: 55Anonymous,1998pp: 9pp: 9Moula M.G., S. Begum and M.A. Quayyum,200027159162Sofield, I., L.T. Evans, M.G. Cook and I.F. Wardlaw,19774785797Tsou, S.C.S. and M.S. Hsu,19781978pp: 4045
