Bangladesh has achieved a tremendous success in food production in last few decades amidst challenges of land degradation, land use changes and climate effect. In spite of the increasing trend of yields of crops, there still remain some challenges to meet the growing needs due to increase in population and loss of land to development activities. This study aims to identify the rate of contributions or economics of factors of crop production in Bangladesh. Cobb-Douglas production function has been applied in this study of crop production using a number of production factors within the broad terms land, labour and capital. Secondary data, representing factors of production, have been selected based on literature reviews so that they can be appropriate for this study. Data of crop production have been considered as dependent variables, whereas, land area coverage for agricultural production, labour employed in agriculture, agricultural household expenditure, fertilizer applied and irrigation coverage have been considered as independent variables. Land and labour is negatively correlated with crop production, whereas, fertilizer is positively correlated. Crop production which shows decreasing return to scale deserves the adoption of new technology and good agricultural management practices.

Accession to the European Union caused a drop of nearly 60 per cent from 1994 to 1995 in prices of wheat, barley and oats in Finland. The economic use of fertilizer therefore decreased accordingly. To calculate the effect of the price changes on the economic optima, the physical production function must be known. Three physical production functions, the quadratic, the linear response and plateau (LRP) and the exponential function were estimated for this purpose. The models differed little in respect of the R2adj value (0.82-0.90) but the calculated optimum varied, depending on the production function. Data on a long-term field trial (21 years) were analysed. The field trial was established in 1973 to demonstrate the effect of mineral fertilizer in crop production. The crops grown in the trial were barley, wheat and oats. Different varieties were included in the models.

A utilização de águas salinas para irrigação é uma realidade, pois tem aumentado a disponibilidade de água, a produção agrícola e o controle de riscos ambientais. Objetivou-se com o presente trabalho, avaliar a taxa de crescimento e a produção do girassol (Helianthus annuus L., cv. EMBRAPA 122/V-2000) sob o efeito da salinidade da água de irrigação e adubação nitrogenada. O experimento foi desenvolvido em ambiente protegido em vasos de plástico de 20 L com Neossolo Regolítico Eutrófico de textura areia franca. Foi utilizado um delineamento de blocos casualizados em parcelas subdivididas, com 5 níveis de salinidade de água – CEa (0,5; 1,5; 2,5, 3,5 e 4,5 dS m-1 – Tratamento das Parcelas) e 5 doses de nitrogênio (60, 80, 100, 120 e 140% da dose de N recomendada para a cultura em ambientes protegidos – Tratamento das Subparcelas) com três repetições, totalizando 75 unidades experimentais. Foram avaliadas as taxas de crescimento absoluto e relativo da altura da planta e do diâmetro caulinar, a fitomassa seca total dos aquênios; dos aquênios viáveis; dos aquênios não viáveis; dos capítulos; do número total de aquênios e do diâmetro do capítulo seco. Não houve efeito significativo dos níveis de nitrogênio sobre as taxas de crescimento, no entanto afetaram significativamente a fitomassa seca dos aquênios. A salinidade da água de irrigação teve um efeito significativo sobre as taxas de crescimento do girassol, a partir dos 30 dias após a semeadura, demonstrando a tolerância do girassol à salinidade na fase de crescimento. Houve efeito significativo sobre a fitomassa do capítulo, do total de aquênios, dos aquênios não viáveis e sobre a percentagem de aquênios viáveis, diminuindo em geral a produção do girassol. A interação salinidade da agua x nitrogênio, não foi significativa para nenhuma das variáveis estudadas. Palavras-Chave: Helianthus annuus L., salinidade, nutrição de plantas. RIBEIRO, P. H.

GROWTH RATES AND PRODUCTION OF SUNFLOWER IRRIGATED WITH SALINE WATER AND NITROGEN DOSES  2 ABSTRACT Sunflower is a crop with a great potential of utilization in social inclusion projects as part of grain and biodiesel production systems.  The use of saline waters for irrigation is a reality because it has increased water availability, crop production and control of environmental risks. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the growth rates and production of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L., cv. EMBRAPA 122/V-2000), irrigated with saline water and nitrogen fertilization. The experiment was conducted in a semi controlled environment in 20 L plastic pots filled with Regosols of loamy sand texture. A randomized block split plot experimental design was used with five irrigation water salinity levels - ECw (0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 dS m-1 – Main Plots) and five nitrogen levels (60, 80, 100, 120 and 140% of the recommended dose for the crop in protected environments – Secondary Plots), with three replicates totalizing 75 experimental plots. The absolute and relatives growth rates of plant height and stem diameter, the number and dry phytomass of achenes and the chapter diameter were analyzed. There was no significant effect of nitrogen treatments on the growth rates, however the dry phytomass of the achenes was significantly affected. Water salinity of the irrigation water had a significant effect on the growth rates only after 30 days of growth, showing the tolerance of the plant to salinity during vegetative growth, however, significant effect was observed on phytomass of chapters, total achenes, non-viable achenes and percentage of viable achenes, decreasing in general sunflower production. The interaction between water salinity and nitrogen was not significant for any of the studied variables. Keywords: Helianthus annuus L., salinization, plant nutrition.
