Abstract The experiment was carried out according to the randomized complete block design (R.C.B.D) and the arrangement of split-split plot with three replications, at the Field Crops Research Station of the Agricultural Research Department - Abu Ghraib during the spring season for the years 2019 and 2020. With the aim of studying the effect of amino acids, planting dates and their effect on some of the yield characteristics and its components for three varieties of maize in the spring season. Planting dates (March 15, March 25 and April 5) occupied the main plots, while amino acids and the control treatment (proline, arginine, and distilled water) occupied the sub-plot, whereas the varieties (Rabi, Baghdad 3 and Fajr 1) occupied the sub-sub-plot, and the most important results were summarized as follows:The two cultivars, Rabi and Fajr-1, achieved a significant increase in most of the yield characteristics and its components for the seasons. The addition of the amino acid proline also led to a significant increase in most of the studied traits (the number of grains in ear, weight of 500 grains, total grain and biological yield, and harvest index), planting dates also have a significant effect on most of the studied traits. The first date (15/3) recorded increase in the number of grains per ear, the weight of 500 grams, and the grain and biological yield. The plants of the Rabi variety when cultivated on March 15 th and sprayed with the amino acid proline achieved the highest average for the grain yield, which reached 7.48 ton. ha-1 for spring 2019.

The experiment was conducted during rabi season 2018-19 and 2019-20 at Regional Agricultural Research Station Jashore to develop a bio-rational based sustainable management approach to control flea beetle of cabbage. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three dispersed replications. Cabbage seedlings were transplanted on 10th November 2018 and 11th November 2019, respectively. The experiment was five different treatments with one control treatment viz. T1 = White color sticky trap + Matrin (Biotrine 0.5% @ 1ml/L of water) @ 1ml/L of water, T2 = Spraying of Antario @1.0 ml/L of water, T3 = Alternate spraying of fizimite and Antario @ 1ml/L of water, T4 = Spraying of Bio-clean (D-Lemonine 5% SL) + application of recharge @ 3gm/L of water, T5 = Spraying with Nitro 505EC (Chlorpyriphos + Cypermethrin) @ 2.0 ml/L of water and T6 = Untreated control. The whole plant was thoroughly covered by spray emulsion. The lowest number of flea beetle (14.59 in 2018-19 and 10.33 in 2019-20) was found in the treatment T5 (Spraying with Nitro 505EC (Chlorpyriphos + Cypermethrin) @ 2.0 ml/L of water) and highest (35.76 in 2018-19 and 42.53 in 2019-20) in control (T6) treatment. The lowest percent of head infestation of cabbage was also recorded in T5 treatment (14.03% in 2018-19 and 5.10% in 2019-20) and the highest in T6 treatment (27.61% in 2018-19 and 23.69% in 2019-20). The highest yield (33.40 t/ha in 2018-19 and 32.49 t/ha in 2019-20) was recorded from T5 treatment and the lowest (26.87 t/ha in 2018-19 and 24.78 t/ha in 2019-20) in control (T6) treatment in both the year. On an average, 16.55-20.33 flea beetle were captured in yellow sticky trap per week in both the year. The highest gross margin (438466 Tk.//ha in 2018-19 and 262366 Tk.//ha in 2019-20) was also observed in the T5 treatment in both the year and the lowest (342916 Tk.//ha in 2018-19 and 187666 Tk.//ha in 2019-20) in untreated control (T6) treatment. Finally, the results revealed that the treatment T5 was more profitable compared to other approaches as well as the highest crop yield with marginal benefit cost ratio.

The experiment was conducted for two consecutive rabi seasons of 2005-06 and 2006-07 at the Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), BARI, Jamalpur to find out an optimum dose of sulphur for yield maximization of garlic cv. Jamalpur local. There were six levels of sulphur viz., 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 75 kg/ha. A control treatment was in the experiment. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. The fertilizer package N150P60K120Zn4 B1 kg/ha was applied to each plot as blanket dose.  Results revealed that most of the growth and yield parameters increased progressively with increasing rate of sulphur application. Bulb yield increased with successive increase in the level of sulphur up to 45 kg/ha and thereafter decreased. The highest bulb yield (7.05 t/ha in 2005-06 and 7.22 t/ha in 2006- 07) was achieved at 45 kg S/ha and the control treatment receiving no fertilizer had the lowest yield (3.21 t/ha in 2005-06 in and 3.26 t/ha in 2006-07). The yield benefit for 45 kg sulphur per hawas 34.2% in 2005-06 and 40.0% in 2006-07 over no sulphur. Sulphur at 45 kg/ha produced 54.5% and 54.9% higher yield over control treatment in both the years. The optimum and economic dose of sulphur for the yield of garlic were 44.0 and 43.6 kg/ha, respectively. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjar.v36i4.11751 Bangladesh J. Agril.
