Binadhan-19. The experiment comprised four levels of nitrogen viz (a) N0 (zero nitrogen), (b) N1 (90 kg N/ha), (c) N2 (110 kg N/ha) and (d) N3 (130 kg N/ha). Nitrogen fertilizer was applied at two splits. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Results revealed that plant height, effective tiller, non-effective tiller, flag leaf length, filled gran, unfilled grain and 1000 grain weight were increased with increasing nitrogen doses till 110 kg N ha-1. Furthermore, the highest grain weight was recorded in 110 kg N ha-1 due to superior performance of yield contributing characters of BInadhan-19. A positive correlation was found between grain yield and total dry matter production. The experimental results concluded that 110 kg N ha-1 would be the best dose for higher gain yield in Binadhan-19 in aus season.

Strawberry (Fragaria X annanassa Duch.) is highly exhaustive and responsive to chemical fertilizers. An experiment on strawberry was conducted in fruits research field of Horticulture Research Centre, BARI, Gazipur over three consecutive years, 2009-2010, 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 to find out the suitable combination of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and sulphur (S) for yield maximization of strawberry. Fourteen treatment combinations were tested in this trial comprising four levels each of N (0, 90, 115 and 140 kg ha-1), P (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg ha-1), K (0, 85, 110 and 135 kg ha-1) and S (0, 15, 25 and 35 kg ha-1) with blanket dose of 4 kg Zn ha-1, 2 kg B ha-1 and 10 t cowdung ha-1. The experiment was set up in randomized completely block design with three replications. Results showed that treatment combination N115P40K110S25 (underscript represent kg ha-1) produced higher strawberry fruit yield (9.59 t ha-1) followed by N90P40K110S25 kg ha-1 and N140P40K110S25 kg ha-1 treatment combinations. The lowest fruit yield (6.05 t ha-1) was found in control (N0P0K0S0) treatment. Therefore, the combination of N115P40K110S25 kg ha-1 may be considered as suitable dose for strawberry cultivation in terrace soils of Bangladesh.Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 43(1): 89-97, March 2018

An experiment was conducted at the research field of Horticulture Research Centre, BARI, Gazipur during Rabi season of 2012-13 to 2014-15 to evaluate the response of different doses of N, P and K on the yield and yield attributes of chrysanthemum (var. BARI Chrysanthemum-1) and to find out the optimum and economic doses of NPK for maximizing yield of chrysanthemum. Treatments comprising four levels each of N (0, 100, 150 and 200 kg ha-1), P (0, 50, 75 and 100 kg ha-1) and K (0, 90, 135 and 180 kg ha-1) along with blanket dose of 2 kg B and 4 kg Zn ha-1 were used. The treatments were assigned in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The combined effect of NPK significantly increased yield and yield attributes of chrysanthemum for each of the yearly experiments as well as the average of three years results. Significantly, the highest flower yield (12.45, 11.47 and 11.96 t/ha) was obtained with the application of N150P75K135 kg ha-1 (T3) along with blanket dose of 2 kg B and 4 kg Zn ha-1 for the years of 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15, respectively and it was statistically identical with T4 (N200P75K135 kg ha-1) treatment. Application of 150 kg N, 75 kg P and 135 kg K increased yield by 52.76, 42.29 and 36.51%, 152.08, 126.23 and 99.13% and 88.35, 51.30 and 60.75%, respectively, over their control in respect to the years. The highest benefit-cost ratio 5.54 followed by 5.14 was obtained from T3 (N150P75K135 kg ha-1) followed by T4 treatment, respectively. From the quadratic regression equation averaging three years data the optimum and economic doses 155 and 151.8 kg N, 79.3 and 77.68 kg P and 118.75 and 115.7 kg K, respectively were found which could be recommended for chrysanthemum production in Grey Terrace Soil of Joydebpur under AEZ 28.The Agriculturists 2017; 15(1) 58-67

Population dynamics of lentil aphid Aphis craccivora (Hemiptera: Aphididae) was assessed in relation with climatic parameters at the research field of National Maize Research Program (NMRP), Rampur, Chitwan during winter season of two consecutive years 2016 to 2018. The experiment was organized in randomized complete block design consisting 20 lentil varieties with three replications. The crop was sown during last week of November in both the years. The daily meteorological parameters like maximum temperature (Tmax), minimum temperature (Tmin), relative humidity (RH) and rainfall (Rf) were recorded at the meteorological station located in NMRP, Rampur, Chitwan and then converted into weekly basis as the standard meteorological week (SMW) with correspondence to weekly population of aphid. The incidence of aphid was started from 2nd SMW of January (2 aphid/plant/10 cm apical twigs) during both experimentation years. Initially the population was low and gradually increased and reached to its peak (49 aphid/plant/10cm apical twigs) on 9th SMW i.e. first week of March with correspondence to weather parameters viz. maximum and minimum temperature (°C), relative humidity (%) and rainfall (mm) were 30.80, 15.34, 67.72 and 0, respectively over the years. The aphid population had significant positive correlation with Tmax (r= 0.94) while the Tmin showed highly significant correlation (r=0.99). The relative humidity (RH) had non significant negative correlation (r= -0.90) and rainfall (Rf) showed non significant negative impact (r= - 0.15) with aphid population. The regression model developed could explain 99% variation in aphid population in different cultivars of lentil. SAARC J. Agri., 17(2): 155-164 (2019)
