An experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to assess the effects of seedling age and potassium fertilizer to improve summer onion production (cv. BARI Piaj-3). The experiment consisted of two factors; Factor A: three seedling age, viz. 35; 40 and 45 days old and Factor B: four different doses of potassium, viz. 0; 40; 80 and 120 kg/ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The effect of different seedling age and potassium fertilizer and their combined effects showed significant variations in growth and yield of onion. In case of seedling age, the highest plant height (56.58 cm), leaf number (12.37) per plant, leaf length (41.77 cm), yield of bulb per plot (1.96 kg) and yield of bulb (19.64 t/ha) were recorded from 45 day old seedling. In case of different doses of potassium, the highest plant height (58.82 cm), leaf number per plant (13.93), leaf length (43.69 cm), yield of bulb per plot (1.90 kg) and yield of bulb (19.00 t/ha) were recorded from 120 kg K ha-1. Combined effects of seedling age and potassium fertilizer exhibited significant variation on plant height at different days after transplant (DAT), leaf number per plant, leaf length, bulb diameter, pseudostem diameter, fresh weight of bulb, dry weight of bulbs, fresh weight of foliage, dry weight of foliage, yield of bulbs per plot and yield of bulbs (t/ha). The highest bulb yields per plot (2.31 kg) as well as per hectare (23.05 tons) were achieved from the treatment combination of 45 day old seedling and 120 kg K ha-1.

An experiment was carried out at the Horticulture Farm of the Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during  the period from November 2010 to January 2011 to study the effects of cowdung and potassium on growth and yield  of Kohlrabi. The experiment consisted of three levels of cowdung (0, 20 and 40 t/ha) and four levels of potassium (0,  20, 50, 80 kg /ha). The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. All the  parameters were significantly influenced by application of cowdung and potassium. The highest plant height (44.65  cm), number of leaves per plant (12.11), length of largest leaf (37.54 cm), and breadth of largest leaf (18.66 cm) were  obtained from the highest dose of cowdung and potassium applied (40 t cowdung + 80 kg K/ha) while the lowest  plant height (33.64 cm), number of leaves (9.01), length of largest leaf (27.94 cm), and breadth of largest leaf (11.00  cm) were obtained from control treatment combination. The highest fresh weight of leaves (49.33 g), fresh weight of  knob (328.66 g) and fresh weight of roots (66.55 g) per plant were also recorded under the treatment combination of  40 t cowdung + 80 kg K/ha, while the lowest fresh weight of leaves (22.11 g), fresh weight of knob (136.00 g) and  fresh weight of roots (23.33 g) were obtained from control treatment combination. Similarly, the dry weight of leaves  (19.34%), knob (15.19%) and roots (32.75%) were highest under the same treatment combination of 40 t cowdung +  80 kg K/ha and the lowest dry weight of leaves (11.71%), dry weight of knob (7.38%) and dry weight of roots  (15.29%) were obtained from control treatment combination C0K0. The marketable yields of knob per plot (7.86 kg)  and per hectare (39.58 tons) were also the highest under the treatment combination 40 t cowdung/ha and 80 kg  potassium per hectare.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbau.v10i1.12035   J.
