Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from October, 2017 to March,
2018. The experiment consisted of two factors. Factor A: three levels of sowing
time, S
1
: 15 November, S
2
: 25 November, S
3
: 5 December and Factor B: four
levels of phosphorus fertilizer, P
0
: Control (No Phosphorus), P
1
: 50 kg P

/ha. This experiment was laid out in
Randomized Complete Blocked Design with three replications. Sowing time
and phosphorus application influenced significantly on most of the parameters.
In case of sowing time, maximum plant height (46.72 cm), pod length (8.30
cm), number of pods per plant (12.10), number of seeds per pod (4.62) and
green pod yield (8.48 t/ha) were recorded from S
2
treatment. In case of
phosphorus application, maximum plant height (48.56 cm), pod length (8.68
cm), number of pods per plant (12.70), number of seeds per pod (4.90) and
green pod yield (9.23 t/ha) were found in P
2
treatment. Among the treatment
combination, S
2
P
2
treatment gave the highest green pod yield (10.50 t/ha) and
the lowest (4.48 t/ha) was obtained from S
3
P

treatment. The highest gross
return (Tk. 315000), net return (Tk. 181248) and BCR (2.35) were obtained
from the treatment combination of S

where the lowest gross return (Tk.
