Objective: Barley Hordeum vulgaire L is an important grain crop, and is grown in large areas all over the world. The experiment aims to study the effect of different levels of fertilizer from agricultural sulfur (0, 1500, 3000, and 4500 kg) S / H, and the number of cuttings (without cut, one cut, and cut twice) on the yield and quality of green forage and grain yield for barley crop Iba 99. Material and Methods: In this experiment, randomized whole section design was used in the arrangement of splinter panels - splinter with three replicates, sulfur levels for the secondary plates and the number of cuttings in the sub-plot plates. Results: The addition of agricultural sulfur at the level (4500 kg S / H) resulted in a significant increase in the following characteristics: - plant height, number of tillers / m2, number of spikes / m2 and grain yield. Whereas the sulfur level (3000 kg S / E) resulted in a significant increase in the two green forage yields and the number of grains / spike when added and for the first and second seasons in succession. Conclusion: Sulfur has significant effect on plant height and a significant effect of interference between sulfur levels and the number of leaves and number of tillers /m2, but it has no effect on the percentage of protein matter in green forage. The increase on sulfur has a significant effect on spike and gave the highest rate (509.4 spike / m2), and increase the protein level in grain to the highest rate 16.95.

Abstract In breeding programs, estimation of increase in yield based on changes in effective plant traits is of great importance, which can be identified using regression modeling. The regression model refers to the prediction of the value of a dependent variable from the values of one or more independent variables. This study evaluated morphological traits of maize (FAO410) on six treatments of fertilizer in 2 years in Debrecen University by the regression model. This experiment was RCBD with four replications in the Látókép zone. Treatments were included in different levels of fertilizer: nitrogen, phosphor, and potassium. The regression model was significant at one percent that showed morphological traits have a straight effect on the yield of maize in FAO410 and FAO340. Grain yield had a positive correlation with plant height, outer ear diameter, the weight of ear, weight of cob, number of leaves, weight of all seeds in each ear, the weight of one thousand seeds on FAO410, and grain yield had a positive correlation with plant height, stem diameter, outer ear diameter, the weight of ear, weight of cob, number of seeds in each column, weight of all seeds in each ear, weight of the fresh plant in a hectare, the weight of one thousand seeds on FAO340 too. Cluster analysis showed the traits classification on two groups on hybrids. Reach maximum grain yield require the evaluation of yield components and their effect.

Aim: To investigate the integrated use of chemical fertilizer and potential tasar silkworm (Antheraea mylitta) excreta as fertilizer on the growth, yield and quality of rice.. Methodology: A pot experiment was designed in Completely Randomized Design with four replicates with nine treatments, where Terminalia arjuna leaf litter, tasar silkworm excreta and recommended dose of chemical nitrogen fertilizer at 25%, 50% or 100% alone or in combinations was applied in transplanted rice plants. The observations were recorded for different growth parameters at 30, 60 and 90 days interval, while yield traits were recorded at the time of crop harvest. Results: Leaf litter and tasar silkworm (Antheraea mylitta Drury) excreta on growth, yield and quality of rice revealed that application of 100% recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN) from tasar silkworm excreta recorded significantly higher plant height, panicle length, number of grains panicle-1 and 1000 grain weight at rice harvest. While, chlorophyll index, grain yield, number of effective tillers per hill, biological and protein yield of rice recorded significantly higher in 75% recommended dose of nitrogen through chemical nitrogen fertilizer + 25% recommended dose of nitrogen from tasar silkworm excreta. Nitrogen and protein content of grain recorded statistically higher in 50% recommended dose of nitrogen through inorganic fertilizer + 50% RDN from tasar silkworm excreta. Grain yield was significantly correlated with nitrogen uptake and protein yield, plant height, effective tillers per hill, 1000 grain weight, straw and biological yield. Interpretation: Integrated use of 75% RDN through chemical nitrogen fertilizer with 25% RDN from tasar silkworm excreta is suitable for higher production that may reduce the external input of chemical nitrogen fertilizers and promote zero waste management.

The present experiments were carried out at the Assiut Univ. Experimental Farm during two winter seasons, 1994/1995 and 1995/1996, to study the effect of nitrogen source and level on growth, yield, and quality of salad crops (lettuce, parsley, and roquette). Nitrogen sources were urea, ammonium nitrate, and ammonium sufate. Three nitrogen levels, namely 20, 40, and 80 kg N/feddan, in addition to organic manure (2.028% N), in addition to the control, were used. Plant height, number of leaves (parsley and roquette), number of non-edible leaves (in lettuce) were significantly increased with urea followed by ammonium nitrate. Plant fresh weight, weight of edible part (in lettuce), and total yield/feddan were significantly higher with urea than ammonium nitrate or ammonium sulfate. The lowest content of nitrate and nitrite in leaves of the salad crops was obtained with ammonium sulfate followed by ammonium nitrate, while urea gave the highest values. Application of organic manure produced plant height, number of leaves per plant, plant fresh weight, total yield, dry matter content almost equal to that obtained from 40 or 20 kg N/fed. Nitrate and nitrite content were at their lowest value when organic manure was used. Plant height, number of leaves, non-edible leaves, weight of plant and total yield/feddan were significantly increased with increasing nitrogen rates from 0 to 80 kg/feddan. Using 80 kg N/fed. gave the highest dry matter, nitrate, and nitrite content.

This study was conducted to examine growth, yield and quality performances of five turmeric genotypes. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Results showed that different genotypes significantly influenced on plant growth, yield and quality of turmeric. The highest germination (97 %), number of leaves (8.16), plant height (69.51 cm), weight of rhizome (47.06 g/plant) and yield (6.01 t/ha) was found from “Sinduri Holud” (BARI Holud-2). But this genotype scored the lowest percentage in curcumin (0.30 %) and low dry matter (22.54 %). While local genotype (“Mota Holud”) performed the lowest germination (87.57 %) and minimum plant height (53.52 cm), leaf area (127.42 cm2), number of fingers per rhizome (3.73), weight of rhizome (34.16 g/plant) and yield (4.78 t/ha). But this genotype contained the highest curcumin (2.10 %), and “Mala Holud” attained maximum dry matter (25.20%). Based on flesh color, dry matter and curcumin contents local turmeric genotypes performed superior than that of the check varieties. From the findings of this investigation, it can be concluded that local genotypes can be used in breeding program for development of high quality turmeric in Bangladesh.

A field experiment was conducted at the Horticultural Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from November 2007 to March 2008 to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on nodulation and sustainable soybean production. There were significant differences among the different treatment combinations in terms of yield and yield contributing characters. Integrated nutrient management with application of 50% of the recommended doses of urea, TSP, MOP, gypsum and biofertilizer (Bradyrhizobium) at the rate of 1 kg ha-1 significantly increased most of the parameters, such as the highest plant height, number of nodule per plant, nodule dry weight per plant, pods per plant, grains per pod, grain yield, oil and protein contents. Coinoculation of Bradyrhizobium seemed to help reduce the NPKS requirement in soybean cultivation. Overall results indicate that the application of integrated nutrient management of biofertilizer (Bradyrhizobium) with ½ NPKS of the recommended dose would produce the best quality of soybean with higher nodulation and yield.
