An experiment was conducted to detect fertilizer doses in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botryitis, L. Family: Cruciferae) during rabi season of 2016-17. The location for the study was at the Multi location Testing (MLT) site, (medium highland under AEZ-03) Goneshpur of Shibganj upazilla under Bogura district. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with eight dispersed replications. There were eight nutrient packages viz. T1 = 100% NPKSZnB (STB), T2 = T1+ 25% N, T3 = T1+ 25% NP, T4 = T1+ 25% NK, T5 = T1+ 25% PK, T6 = T1+ 25% NPK T7 = 75% of T1 and T8 = Control. The highest yield (42.11t ha-1) was obtained from the treatment T6 which was statistically similar with the rest treatments except T7 (35.89 t ha-1) and T8 (18.36 t ha-1). In case of gross margin, the highest value, (824607) was also obtained from the treatment T6 followed by T3, T1 and T4. The treatment T6 (T1+ 25% higher NPK), fertilizer management practices produced higher in terms of cauliflower yield, gross return, gross margin over the other treatments. Therefore, the result revealed that recommended fertilizer dose N138.25 P50 K143.75 s 4.5 Zn 3.22 B 0.51 Kg ha-1 was optimum for maximizing the yield as well as economically and environmentally viable for cauliflower cultivation in Bogura region.

The experiment was conducted in medium highland at Dacope, Khulna during rabi season of 2010-11. The aim of the study was to observe the effect of integrated use of bio-slurry along with inorganic fertilizer on the performance of water melon grown in AEZ 13. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Three fertilizer doses viz. T1 : Soil test based inorganic fertilizer dose for high yield goal (HYG), T2 : Cowdung bio-slurry @ 5t/ha + IPNS basis inorganic fertilizer dose for high yield goal and T3 : Farmers’ practice (average of 20 farmers surveyed) were taken as treatment. Results showed that yield and yield contributing characters of water melon were significantly influenced by the treatments. The highest fruit yield (44.50 t/ha) was recorded in cowdung bio-slurry@ 5 t/ha + IPNS basis inorganic fertilizer dose (T2) followed by T1 (40.27 t/ha). The lowest yield (35.20 t/ha) was obtained from farmers’ practice. Economic analysis also revealed that the gross return (Tk. 534000.00/ha) and gross margin (Tk. 427515.00/ha) were higher in T2. Benefit-cost ratio (BCR) was also higher in T2 (5.01).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v6i2.22097 J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 6(2): 61-63 2013

Organic fertilizer (OF) has positive effects on soil, especially soil fertility and productivity. Two experiments were conducted at the farmer’s field of Mymensingh and Jamalpur to observe the effect of organic fertilizer on cabbage production during rabi season 2018. There were seven fertilizer treatments viz: T1: RCF (N150 P40 K100 S16 Kg ha-1), T2: 85% RCF, T3: 70% RCF, T4: 85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 OF, T5: 85% RCF + 1 t ha-1 OF, T6: 70% RCF + 3 t ha-1 OF and T7: 70% RCF + 1 t ha-1 OF. The experiments were laid out in a RCBD (Randomized Complete Block Design) with three replications. The average fresh yield at Mymensingh ranged from 34.5 to 60.0 t ha-1 with the highest yield of 60.0 t ha-1 from treatment T4 (85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 OF). At Jamalpur, the average yield ranged from 31.5 to 56.3 t ha-1 and the highest yield of 56.3 t ha-1 was recorded from treatment T4 (85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 OF). The lowest yield was found from treatment T3 in both locations. The percent fresh yield increased over control (T1), was 42.85 and 40.04 in Mymensingh and Jamalpur, respectively. The highest gross margin is Tk. 534507, which was obtained from treatment T4 (85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 organic fertilizer). The highest MBCR 3.05 (average of two locations) was obtained from the same treatment T4 (85% RCF + 1 t ha-1 organic fertilizer). The result indicated that applying organic fertilizer and 85% recommended dose of chemical fertilizer is more profitable than applying chemical fertilizers only.

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season in the experimental field of BCSIR to see the effects of fresh and digested cowdung (CD) and poultry litter (PL) bio-slurry on the growth and yield of cabbage (Brassica oleracea). The experiment was laid in a Randomized Complete Block Design (CRBD) with six different treatments including control. Cabbage variety Atlas-70 was transplanted at the age of 35 days and was harvested at 120 days. Plant height, circumference, marketable weights and whole plant weight were examined to perceive the effects on the growth and yield of cabbages. The experiment revealed that both digested PL and CD bio-slurry had a significant effect (P < 0.01) on the growth and yield components of cabbage. Increased plant growth and yield were in the order of digested PL bio-slurry > digested CD bio-slurry > fresh PL > fresh CD in combination with recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF). Among the treatments, the highest head yield of cabbage (97.6 t ha-1) was obtained from RDF + 5 t ha-1 digested PL bio-slurry which was 366 % higher than the control.
