A study was conducted to determine the direct and residual effects of phosphate rock (PR) on the growth and yield of wheat cv. Kanchan during Rabi season of 2004-2005 at the Bangladesh Agricultural University farm, Mymensingh. The experiment was designed with four treatments and was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. The treatments were: T1: control (0 kg P ha-1), T2: PR (26 kg P ha-1), T3: TSP (26 kg P ha-1), and T4: PR (210 kg P ha-1 applied in previous crop to cover 6 succeeding crops). Dry matter yield at panicle initiation (PI) stage was significantly influenced by the treatments. Effective tillers hill-1 and grains panicles-1 varied significantly with P treatments. The highest grain yield (3.10 t ha-1) and straw yield (5.54 t ha-1) were found in T3 treatment. Economic analysis demonstrated that the highest net benefit of Tk. 24,788 ha-1 was obtained in T3 treatment which was followed by Tk. 22,964 ha-1 and Tk.12,292 ha-1 in T4 and T2, respectively. The highest net benefit was obtained from T3 treatment due to higher grain and straw yields.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/agric.v10i1.11062The Agriculturists 2012; 10(1): 31-37

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the long-term effects of the surface application of lime on soil fertility and on the mineral nutrition and grain yield of soybean, and of black oat and sorghum in crop succession. The experiment was carried out on a clayey Oxisol, in a randomized complete block design, with four replicates. Treatments consisted of lime the rates of 0, 1,000, 2,000, and 4,000 kg ha-1, applied in October 2002 and November 2004. Soil samples were collected at five soil layers, down to 0.60-m depth. Surface liming was effective in reducing soil acidity and increasing Ca2+ and Mg2+ contents in the subsurface. Moreover, it increased available phosphorus contents and soil organic matter in the long term (48 to 60 months after the last lime application). Surface liming improved plant nutrition, mainly for N, Ca, and Mg, and increased dry matter production and grain yield of the crops, even in years with regular distribution of rainfall. The greatest productivities of soybean, black oat, and sorghum were obtained with the respective estimated lime doses of 4,000, 2,333, and 3,281 kg ha-1, for shoot dry matter, and of 2,550, 3,555, and over 4,000 kg ha-1, for grain yield.

The study was carried out to find out the effect of zinc (Zn) and boron (B) on growth and yield of okra (BARI Dherosh 1). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The treatments of the experiment were, T0 (without Zn or B), T1 (20 kg Zn ha-1), T2 (30 kg Zn ha-1), T3 (10 kg B ha-1), T4 (20 kg B ha-1), T5 (20 kg Zn ha-1 + 10 kg B ha-1), T6 (20 kg Zn ha-1 + 20 kg B ha-1), T7 (30 kg Zn ha-1 + 10 kg B ha-1) and T8 (30 kg Zn ha-1 + 20 kg B ha-1) were undertaken to evaluate the best results of the study. The highest plant height was found in T8 (30 kg Zn ha-1 + 20 kg B ha-1) but the highest number of leaves plant-1 was recorded from T7 (30 kg Zn ha-1 + 10 kg B ha-1). On the other hand, the maximum leaf area index, SPAD value, mean fruit weight, fruit length, fruit diameter, fruit dry matter (%), number of fruits plant-1, fresh fruit weight plant-1 , fruit yield plot-1 and fruit yield ha-1 were found in T7 (30 kg Zn ha-1 + 10 kg B ha-1), while the control (T0) showed lowest performance for the respected parameters. It is strongly concluded that 30 kg Zn ha-1 with 10 kg B ha-1 combination may be helpful for okra cultivation in the field level to increase okra production.

The present research was conducted at the experimental field of Agrotechnology Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna during Rabi season 2016-17 to investigate the growth and yield performance of mustard varieties. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design consisting of eight mustard varieties (viz. BARI Sarisha-8, BARI Sarisha-11, BARI Sarisha-13, BARI Sarisha-14, BARI Sarisha-15, BARI Sarisha-16, Rai and Tori-7) as treatment and replicated thrice. All the growth, yield attributes and yield were substantially influence among the mustard varieties except the phenological parameters. Results of the experiment showed that the highest plant height (131.33 cm), seed yield (1813.33 kg ha-1) and stover yield (3876.67 kg ha-1) were found in BARI Sarisha-16. BARI Sarisha-11 was found better in respect of maximum siliqua plant-1, weight of seeds plant-1, 1000-seed weight and harvest index. Besides this, BARI Sarisha-14 showed the maximum number of seeds siliqua-1. Therefore, findings of this study suggested that BARI Sarisha-16 would be suitable for better productivity and recommended for cultivation in the medium highland of Khulna region of Bangladesh.

The experiment was conducted to find out the effect of plant spacing on the performance of rice variety IR-64 and IR64-Sub1 under conventional and Submerged condition at the National Rice Research Institute (NRRI), Cuttack, Odisha during the Rabi season of 2018. Different planting densities were maintained using different spacing's. These include (S1) 15 cm × 10 cm, (S2) 15 cm × 20 cm. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications spacing of 15 cm × 10 cm with produced the highest grain yield of 350 gm-2 in submerged condition on IR64-Sub1 rice cultivar, which was significantly higher than the yield with recommended density (15 cm × 10 cm with IR64 Sub1). This yield was increased due to higher number of panicles m-2. This result suggests that higher planting density (15 cm×10 cm) rather than increased number of seedling hill-1 is necessary for getting higher yield of IR-64Sub1 rice cultivar in continuous submerged condition (where V1=IR 64, V2=IR-64 Sub1, S1=15 cm×10 cm, S2=20 cm×15 cm).

The research was conducted to monitor the influent of abattoir wastewater compost on rice growth and yield in Benin-Owah River Basin in Illah, Delta State, Nigeria. The compost was applied at 0, 2.5, 5.0, 10 t/ha, and NPK15:15:15 at 250 kg/ha laid in randomized complete block design with four replicates. Rice seeds were sown for two years, and residual effects were evaluated in the third year. Rice plant height, stem circumference, and the number of tillers was measured at two weeks intervals while rice yields have taken at harvest. Soil samples were taken yearly to monitor nutrient changes. Data obtained were analyzed with analysis of variance and mean separated with Duncan Multiple Range Test at α0.05. In the first year, NPK15:15:15 significantly gave the highest dry matter (6.28±1.45 t/ha) and grain yield (2.4±0.53 t/ha). While in the second year, 10 t/ha treatment produced the dry matter (7.69±1.60 t/ha) and grain yield (2.6±0.53 t/ha). In a residual study, the highest grain yield (2.8±0.72 t/ha) was produced in the plot treated with 10 t/ha, and it also gave the highest pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, and available P content. The compost at the rate of 10 t/ha can increase soil fertility and rice yield.

The economic rate of nutrients was determined with eight different fertilizer treatment applied on T. aman rice (var. Binadhan-7) in Old Brahmaputra Floodplain Soils (AEZ-9) during 2012 and 2013 at Trisal, Mymensingh. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The treatment combinations were: T1 (N64 P14 K28 S6 Zn1), T2 (N80 P14 K28 S6 Zn1), T3 (N80 P17.5 K28 S6 Zn1), T4 (N80 P14 K35 S6 Zn1), T5 (N64 P17.5 K35 S6 Zn1), T6 (N80 P17.5 K35 S6 Zn1), T7 (N48 P10.5 K21 S4.5 Zn0.75), and T8 (control). Grain and straw yields were significantly affected by the application of fertilizers at different rates. Results revealed that the average highest grain (4.86 t ha-1) was recorded in T6 (N80 P17.5 K35 S6 Zn1) treatment and straw yield (5.34 t ha-1) was recorded in treatment T3 (N80 P17.5 K28 S6 Zn1) which is 132.54% and 86.06% respectively higher over control treatment. The second highest grain yield (4.77 t ha-1) was obtained in T3 treatment and straw (5.18 t ha-1) was recorded in T6 treatment. Average (2012 & 2013) nutrient uptake (grain and straw) was the highest in T3 treatment. Partial budget analysis demonstrated the highest net benefit of Tk. 69,673 ha-1 in T6 followed by Tk. 68,833 ha-1 in T3 and the highest MBCR (4.29) was obtained in T3 treatment. The present investigation suggests that treatment T3 (N80 P18 K28 S6 Zn1) might be the best profitable fertilizers dose to sustain Binadhan-7 rice production in Old Brahmaputra Floodplain Soils.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v6i2.22096 J.

The effect of zinc (Zn) and boron (B) on the growth and yield of onion as well as their residual effect on mungbean were investigated in this study. The field experiment was conducted at Bangladesh Agricultural University Farm, Mymensingh. The soil was silt loam having 6.92 pH, 2.82% organic matter, 0.63 µg g-1 available Zn and 0.27 µg g-1 available B contents. There were nine treatments comprising three rates of Zn (0, 2 and 4 kg ha-1) and three rates of B (0, 1.5 and 3 kg ha-1) in all combinations. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Zinc as ZnSO4.7H2O and boron as H3BO3 were applied to the first crop (onion cv. Faridpuri). Mungbean (cv. BINA Mung8) was grown on the same plots after harvesting of onion, with no further addition of Zn and B. For both crops, N, P, K and S fertilizers were added to the all plots as per recommendation (FRG-2012). Application of Zn and B significantly influenced the growth and yield parameters of crops viz. plant height, bulb diameter, bulb length and bulb yield for onion, and plant height, pods plant-1, pod length, 1000-seed weight and seed yield for mungbean. Addition of Zn at 4 kg ha-1 and B at 3 kg ha-1 compared to control (Zn0­B0) gave 52% yield benefits for onion and 99% yield benefits for mungbean. Zinc and B concentrations as well as their uptake by onion bulb were also positively influenced by the added Zn and B. The results suggest that application of Zn at 4 kg ha-1 coupled with B at 3 kg ha-1 along with NPKS is required to achieve higher yield of onion and mungbean in Old Brahmaputra Floodplain (AEZ 9).Progressive Agriculture 26 (2): 90-96, 2015

An experiment was set up in the Research Farm of Patuakhali Science and Technology University, during the rabi season of 2015 to evaluate the effect of fertilizers and manures on the growth and yield of Potato. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with two potato varieties namely Diamant (V1) and Cardinal (V2) and five different types and rates of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers viz. T0: Control , T1: NPK, T2: NPK + CW(Cowdung), T3: NPK+ PM(Poultry Mannure) and T4: CW(Cowdung), + PM(Poultry Mannure)  were used for the present study. The two–factor experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Result showed that almost all the characters were affected significantly due to the effect of varieties, organic–inorganic fertilizer and their combinations .In case of treatments, NPK with PM also showed the tallest plant (39.76 cm), highest fresh and dry weight (95.97 and 6.05 g plant–1, respectively), CGR and RGR (0.086 and 0.218 g m–2 day–1, respectively), gross (24.36 t ha–1) and marketable (23.39 t ha–1) compared other treatments. In case of interaction, the highest plant height (41.00 cm), highst fresh and dry weight (96.87 and 3.62 g plant–1, respectively), highest CGR and RGR (0.089 and 0.228 g m–2 day–1, respectively) as well as the highest gross (24.45 t ha–1) and marketable (23.67 t ha–1) yield were recorded in Diamant at NPK with PM. From the above observation it may be concluded that the variety Diamant at NPK + PM was more effective under Patuakhali region.Progressive Agriculture 27 (4): 435-443, 2016

A two-year experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2012-13 and 2013-14 at the Regional Wheat Research Centre (RWRC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Rajshahi. Recently released six varieties like Shatabdi, Bijoy, Prodip, BARI Gom 25, BARI Gom 26 and BARI Gom 27 were evaluated under raised bed system in randomized complete block design with three replications. The varieties were evaluated for yield, and yield components with some phenological and physiological parameters. The effects of raised bed system over two years were significant for all the parameters. The highest mean yield over tillage method (among the tested varieties) was produced by varieties BARI Gom 27 and Shatabdi followed by BARI Gom 26 and Bijoy varieties. These varieties produced satisfactory yields in raised bed methods. The lowest yielder varieties were Prodip and BARI Gom 25. Considering the overall growth, yield and other characters of three varieties like BARI Gom 27, Shatabdi and Bijoy have been provisionally selected at Rajshahi region as well as in wheat growing areas in Bangladesh.Bangladesh Agron.
