A field experiment on okra cv. BARI Dherosh–1 comprising four sowing times starting from February to May (15th day of each month) at monthly interval and four spacings (60 × 30, 60 × 40, 60 × 50, and 60 × 60 cm) was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station (ARS), Raikhali, Rangamati Hill District to find out the most suitable sowing time and optimum plant spacing for the two consecutive years of 1997 and 1998. The highest seed yield (2.97 t/ha) was recorded from 15 April sowing closely followed by 15 March sowing (2.77 t/ha) whereas the best quality seed was obtained from 16 February (88.7% germination and 29.75 seed vigour index) and 15 March (83.7% germination and 28.80 seed vigour index) sowing. Plant spacing of 60 × 40 cm produced the highest seed yield of okra (2.86 t/ha) followed by 60 × 30 cm spacing (2.80 t/ha). The germination percentage and seed vigour index were unaffected due to different plant spacings. 15 April sowing accompanied with 60 × 30 cm spacing gave the highest seed yield (3.13 t/ha) closely followed by 60 × 30 cm spacing with the same sowing time (3.06 t/ha). The seed yield did not decline in 15 March sowing having similar spacings.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjar.v32i3.541Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 32(3) : 393-402, September 2007

An experimental study was conducted during 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 at Horticulture Research Station, Mondouri, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya, Monhanpur, Nadia, West Bengal, India, to evaluate the performance of fourteen different bush type French bean genotypes for seed yield and to study varietal characterization based on plant morphology. The genotypes, studied under this experiment were namely, Abhay, Shillong Local-3, Arjun, Selection-9, Arka Anoop, Arka Komal, Badshah, Anupam, Arka Suvidha, Falguni, Sonali, Local, Victoria and Vaishnavi-264. From overall point of view of the outcome of the experiment, it has been revealed that genotype with relatively bolder seeds with more number of seeds per pod, and higher bearing capacity per plant generally gives higher seed yield. Among the genotypes under study, Arka Suvidha was the best one as it produced the highest seed yield (2180.92 kg/ha) and relatively good plant vigour and fairly high seed vigour index (2944.38). Falguni and Mohanpur Local also can be considered promising once for seed production point of view.

The field experiment was conducted at the Hill Agricultural Research Station, BARI, Khagrachari for the two consecutive years (2009-10 and 2010-11) to find out the wheat variety suitable for hilly environment and investigate the interaction of sowing dates and varieties to recommend the promising variety with proper sowing time. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications where three dates of sowing (Nov. 20, Nov. 30 and Dec. 10) were assigned in the main plots and five modern wheat varieties (Shatabdi, Sufi, Sourav, Bijoy and Prodip) were tested in the sub-plots. The yield responses of wheat varieties during the two years showed that there were significant varietal differences under the experimental soil and environmental conditions. The variety Bijoy gave maximum grain yield closely followed by Sourav in both years. Shatabdi produced higher yield under early sowing (Nov. 20) but yield was decreased due to late sowing (Dec. 10). Initially the plant population and finally spikes/m2 were affected by late sowing that caused less yield in Shatabdi. The mean yield of all varieties pulled over the sowing time indicated that wheat yield was not affected due to delay sowing up to 10th December. The experimental result demonstrated that Shatabdi could be recommended only for early sowing whereas Bijoy and Sourav could be recommended both for early and late sowing under the experimental soil and environmental conditions at hilly region of Khagrachari.Bangladesh J.

In order to study the effect of planting date and cultivar on seed yield and germinating ability of soybean, an experiment was conducted for two seasons (2014 – 15 and 2015 – 16 ) at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Nandyal, Andhra Pradesh. Two popular varieties, viz., JS-335 and JS-93-05 were sown on four sowing dates i.e. July 2nd fortnight (FN), August 1st FN, August 2nd FN and September 1st FN during the two consecutive kharif crop seasons in FRBD design, replicated thrice. The variety JS-335 recorded significantly higher yield (1296 kg ha-1) than JS-93-05 (690 kg ha-1) . Early sowings during July 2nd FN and August Ist FN recorded significantly at par yields (1087 kg ha-1, 1101 kg ha-1 respectively) with good initial and aging germination percentage (81%, 58.8% respectively). Though September 1st FN sown crop recorded significantly lowest seed yield (860 kg ha-1), the initial and aging germination percentage were highest (88.6%, 66.0%).

The experiment was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ishurdi, Pabna during rabi season of 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 to find out the appropriate sowing date and optimum plant spacing for seed production of cauliflower (var. BARI Phulcopi-1). Four sowing dates viz. 20 September, 1 October, 10 October and 20 October and three plant spacing viz. 60 cm × 50 cm, 60 cm × 60 cm and 60 cm × 70 cm were used as treatment variables. Significant variation in seed yield and yield contributing characters of cauliflower were observed due to execution of different sowing dates and plant spacing. Number of branches plant-1, number of pods plant-1 and number of seeds pod-1 showed the highest in 1 October sowing as a result the highest seed yield (361.69 kgha-1) was obtained from same date of sowing. Sowing on 10 October and 20 October reduced seed yield drastically compared to that obtained from 1 October sowing. The lowest seed yield (188.54 kgha-1) was obtained from 20 October sowing. On the contrary, closer spacing (60 cm × 50 cm) produced the highest seed yield (315.88 kgha-1) and the wider spacing (60 cm × 70 cm) produced the lowest seed yield (254.07 kgha-1). However, combination of 1 October sowing with 60 cm × 50 cm plant spacing produced the highest seed yield (414.81 kgha-1) due to higher number of seeds pod-1. The seed yield decreased after 10 October sowing irrespective of plant spacing. So, early sowing (1 October) with closer spacing (60 cm× 50 cm) would be economically profitable for cauliflower seed production in North-Western part of Bangladesh.Bangladesh J. Agril.

A field experiment was conducted at the farm of Hill Tract Agricultural Research Station, Ramgarh, Khagrachari Hill District during Rabi season of 2010-11 and 2011-12 to determine the optimum sowing time for better yield of green cob as well as fodder of sweet corn (var. BARI Sweet corn-1) in the hilly region. Five sowing dates (November 20, November 30, December 10, December 20 and December 30) were included in the study. During 2010-11, the highest green cob yield was obtained from 20 November sowing (8.43 t/ha) followed by 30 November sowing (7.81 t/ha) and the lowest yield (5.00 ton/ha) from 20 December sowing. During 2011-12, the maximum green cob yield (8.60 t/ha) was also obtained from 20 November, which was statistically identical with that of 30 November (8.03 t/ha), 10 December (7.67 t/ha) and 20 December (8.11 ton/ha) sowing. Average of two years result showed that, the maximum fodder yield (39.99 t/ha) was obtained from 30 November sowing which was at par with that of 20 November sowing. Maximum TSS (Total soluble sugar) value of Sweet corn was obtained from 20 November sowing during 2010-11 and 30 November sowing during 2011-12. Across over two years, 20 November to 30 November sowing was found suitable for sweet corn production in the hilly areas in terms of green cob and fodder yield and also TSS value.Bangladesh J. Agril.

A field experiment on okra taking the variety BARI Dharos-1 with four nitrogen levels (0, 75, 125 and 175 kg/ha) and six levels of green fruit picking (no green fruit picking, first two, first four, first six, first eight and first ten green fruit picking) was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station, Raikhali, Rangamati Hill District to find out the optimum N level and suitable number of green fruit picking during the summer seasons of 2005 and 2006 for the highest economic benefit. The plants were grown for both vegetable and seed production. Growth parameters, green fruit as well as dry fruit characters, seed yield attributes were significantly affected by different levels of N and green fruit picking. Nitrogen levels and green fruit picking increased number of dry fruits per plant, number of seeds per fruit, weight of seeds per fruit and seed yield. Application of N @ 125 kg/ha gave the highest fruit and seed yield of okra followed by 175 kg N/ha. These two N levels also produced maximum 100-seed weight, percentage of germination and seed vigour. The treatment of picking of 10 green fruits produced the highest green fruit yield/ha. But picking of first 4 green fruits produced maximum seed yield, which was statistically at par with those of 2 and 6 green fruits picking. First 4 green fruit picking gave the highest seed vigour whereas first 6 green fruit pickings produced maximum 100-seed weight. Picking of first 4 green fruits accompanied with 175 kg N/ha gave the highest seed yield of 2.86 t/ha, which was closely followed by picking of first 2 or 6 green fruits with 125 kg as well as 175 kg N/ha. Picking of first 2 or 4 green fruits in combination with 125 kg N/ha also gave the similar seed yield. The combination of 125 kg N/ha and first 6 green fruit picking gave the highest gross income (Tk.193.56/ha), net return (Tk.126.35/ha) and maximum BCR of 2.88.

A field experiment on the effect of planting dates and pinching on seed production in African marigold cv. Sirakole was carried out during November, 2007 to June, 2008 with four planting dates and three levels of pinching. November planting gave more number of seeds (191.89) and weight of seed per head (0.32g), seed yield per plot (272.24 g), 1000 seed weight (1.65g) as well as seed yield (1008.29 kg) per hectare. In addition to these quality traits like germination percentage of seed, root and shoot length of seedlings and vigour index also witnessed significant improvement under this date of planting. Shoot pinching at 30 days after planting was effective in bringing significant improvement in number (173.01) and weight (0.25g) of seeds per head as well as seed yield (309.77 kg) per hectare. Interaction effect of November planting and single pinching improved germination percentage (90.44) and seed vigour index (2098).

Field experiments were conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Jessore during rabi (winter) seasons of 1999-2001 to study the tillage and mulching effects on conservation of residual soil moisture, yield attributes and yield of mustard (cv. Daulat.). Three different tillage methods, namely minimum, reduced and conventional tillage were used in the main plots and three different mulch materials, namely rice straw, water hyacinth, black polythene including no mulch were used in the sup-plots. It was observed that reduced tillage and polythene mulch or rice straw mulch conserve more moisture than other tillage methods and mulch application. Tillage practice significantly influenced the dry matter, yield and yield components of mustard. Reduced tillage gave consistently the highest seed yield (969 kg/ha), while minimum tillage gave the lowest seed yield (92 kg/ha). Mulching also resulted in better crop growth and increased yield. Significantly higher seed yield (1164 kg/ha) was recorded from black polythene mulch followed by rice straw mulch (1089 kg/ha). The yield of mustard was obtained due to the interaction effects on reduced tillage and polythene mulch followed by conventional tillage and polythene mulch, which was found superior to all other treatments. Results revealed that polythene mulch or rice straw mulch accompanied by reduced tillage was economically profitable for mustard cultivation/production under rainfed condition. Key Words: Rainfed mustard, tillage, mulching. doi: 10.3329/bjar.v33i4.2303 Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 33(4) : 597-606, December 2008
