| Abstract | The present experiment was conducted to evaluate some morpho-physiological features and its impact on seed yield of four lentil varieties viz., Binamasur-3, Binamasur-4, Binamasur-5 and BARI Masur-5 during the period from November 2014 to March 2015 at Ishurdi, Bangladesh under sub-tropical condition (24°8 ́ N 90 ° ́ E). The growth rate found very slow during the vegetative phase in all the genotypes due to a relatively smaller po rtion of dry matter production before flower initiation and bulk of it after anthesis. The maximum growth rate was observed at flowering stage (62-72 days after sowing) in all ge notypes. Binamasur-5 showed maximum growth and dry mass accumulation at vegetative stage but minimum at reproductive stage in comparison to other genotypes . Plant height of Binamasur 5 found minimum but seed yield and harvest index and other yield attributes were produced height among the four genotypes. Besides maturity d uration of Binamasur-5 is lower (96 days) than Binamasur-4 (97 days), BARI Masur-5 (98 days) and Binamasur3 (100 days). Results indicate that genotype improvement efforts have achieved higher seed yield by higher growth rate at early growth stages and better assimilate partitioning to economic yield. The bushy plants are unlikely to yield improvement. The variety, Binamasur-5 had short plant stature wit h increase branches there by produce more pods/plant resulting higher seed yield. This information may be used in future plant breeding programme. |
