Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to study the photo thermal requirements of mungbean varieties under different photo thermal environment during
summer seasons of 2017-18 and 2018-19 at the Research area, Department of Plant Physiology, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh). The experiment was laid out in a factorial randomized block design replicated thrice treatments consisted of three sowing environments
viz., Feb 12
th, Feb 27
th and Mar 14
th and five mungbean varieties
viz., PDM 139, Pusa Ratna, Pusa Vishal, Pusa 1431 and TJM 3. Results revealed that duration to attain different phenophases and thermal units during sowing to maturity decreased with successive delay in sowing form November. Feb 27
th sowing produced significantly higher total dry matter accumulation, higher seed yield and biological yield as compared to Feb 12
th and Mar 14
th. Among mungbean varieties, PDM 139 outyielded (730.42 Kg ha
-1) other genotypes. In interactions PDM 139 on 27
th Feb (826.02 Kg ha
-1) revealed significantly higher total dry matter accumulation, higher seed yield and biological yield followed by other interactions.
