Abstract
The experiment was conducted at the research plot of the department of
Agricultural Botany of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during the
period from February 2017 to June 2017 to effect of salicylic acid and CaSO
on
morphophysiology growth and yield of mungbean. In this experiment, the
treatment consisted of two mungbean varieties viz. V

= BARI mung 4, V
= =
BARI mung 6 and four different concentration of Salicylic acid (SA) and CaSO
viz. T

=Salicylic acid 0.5 mMole, T
=Salicylic
acid 0.5mMole + 5 mMole CaSO4. The experiment was laid out in a two factors
randomized complete block design (RCBD) design having three replications.
Results showed that a significant variation was observed among the treatments in
respect of majority of the observed parameters. The collected data were
statistically analyzed for evaluation of the treatment effect. Variety and salicylic
acid and CaSO
had significant influence on growth, yield and yield components
of mungbean. The tallest plant (60.40 cm) was obtained from BARI Mung-6 with
Salicylic acid 0.5milimole + 5 mMole CaSO4. The highest number of leaves

obtained from BARI Mung-6 with Salicylic acid 0.5milimole + 5 mMole CaSO4
treatment combinations while the lowest seed yield (1.26 ton) was recorded from
BARI Mung-4 with control treatment combination. The most of the parameters
gave the best performance which was achieved from BARI Mung-6. Again,
Salicylic acid 0.5milimole + 5 mMole CaSO4 showed the best performance
regarding most of the yield and yield contributing parameters. In case of
combined effect, BARI Mung-6 and Salicylic acid 0.5milimole + 5 mMole
CaSO4 gave the best result considering yield and yield contributing parameters.
