Abstract :

This study was conducted in the summer of 2018 in Qazvin region to investigate the effect of planting date on growth and yield of two mung bean cultivars as a second crop. This experiment was performed as a split plot in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Planting date factor at three levels (July 10, July 25 and August 9) were considered as the main factor and two cultivars Parto and VCA as the secondary factor. The results of analysis of variance showed that the effect of planting date and cultivar on grain yield was significant at the level of one percent. The results of comparing the means of the effect of planting date levels on grain yield showed that the planting date of 10 July with an average of 562.3 kg / ha had the highest grain yield. The lowest grain yield was observed on 9 August with an average of 388.9 kg / ha. The results of comparing the means of cultivar effect on grain yield showed that Parto cultivar with an average of 478.1 kg / ha was significantly superior to VCA cultivar.
