Abstract:
The study sought to determine the effects of different levels of concentrations of bio-stimulant solution (BSS) in inducing the growth,
flower, and yield of mung bean. The study was conducted at UNO-R
School of Agriculture, Philippines last February to April 2022. Pagasa 3 variety was used as planting material. The study was laid out in
RCBD) with four treatments and replicated 4 times. The BSS was diluted in water and applied 6 inches from the base of the plant as per
research protocol. Statistical analysis revealed highly significant differences among treatments in growth parameters such as plant height
and leaf area index (LAI) at 35DAS. Likewise, there was high significant difference among treatments on the days to 50% flowering of the
plant. Furthermore, results showed highly significant differences
among treatments in the number of pods per plant, pod weight per
plant, number of seeds per pod, 100 seed weight, and yield of mung
bean. For the highest plant height, LAI, and period of flowering they
were obtained from plants applied with 150ml BSS, followed by
100ml BSS, and 50ml BSS. On the other hand, untreated plants have
the shortest height, narrower leaves, and late in flower initiation.
Mung bean pods per plant were great in number, heavier in weight
from plants treated with 150ml BSS among the other treatments, the
most number of seeds per pod, and the heaviest per 100-seed weight
as well as the highest seed yield per hectare. This study recommends
the use of 150ml BSS in inducing the growth and higher yield of mung
bean plant production.
