Effect of urea super granule on the performance of cabbage in Young Jamuna and Brahmaputra Floodplain Soils of Tangail

A number of experiments were conducted at the Farming Systems Research and Development (FSRD) site, Palima, Tangail for three consecutive years to evaluate the efficiency of USG application in comparison with prilled urea on the yield and yield attributes of cabbage (cv. Atlas-70). There were five treatments, T1= N195 (recommended N dose for HYG, used as prilled urea), T2= N195 (recommended N dose for HYG, used as USG), T3=N175 (N 10% reduction of recommended N dose as USG), T4= N155 (N 20% reduction of recommended N dose as USG), and T5= N105 (Farmers' N dose used as prilled urea). Treatments Tl-T4 received recommended dose of other nutrients (P56K162S13Mo0.6CD3t) and T5 received P25K90S0Mo0CD51 Yield and yield-contributing characters of cabbage significantly responded to the application of USG. The highest head yield (78.1 t/ha) was obtained with the recommended dose of N as USG, and 10% (77.1 t/ha), and 20% (72.0 t/ha) less than the recommended dose of N as USG also produced higher yield than recommended prilled urea-N. Application of USG was found more efficient than prilled urea and the treatment N195P56K162S13Mo0.6CD3t (recommended N as USG for HYG) was found profitable for cabbage cultivation in terms of yield and the treatment N175P56K162S13Mo0.6CD3t (10% N reduction of recommended N dose as USG) was found profitable in terms of economic returns.

Experiments were conducted to assess the effects of USG on the number of branch and fruit production, fruit length, weight and yield of brinjal (Solanum melongena: cv Shingnath), compared to prilled urea as N source. The study was conducted at farming systems research and development site, Palima, Tangail district under AEZ 8 of Bangladesh during 2000, 2001 and 2002 using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with five treatments replicated 6 times. The treatments were T1= N78P36K66S17CD3t (Recommended dose for high yield goal (HYG), N as prilled urea), T2= N78P36K66S17CD3t (Recommended dose for HYG, N as USG), T3= N65P36K66S17CD3t (N 10%< Recommended dose as USG), T4= N52P36K66S17CD3t (N 20%<Recommended dose as USG) and T5 = N60P35K60S0CD5t (Farmers dose, N as Prilled urea). USG had significant (P?0.05) effect on the brinjal fruit yield giving higher profits. Thus USG as N78P36K66S17CD3t was beneficial for brinjal cultivation in terms of yield and economics.

Farming Systems Research

Farmers' objectives, their circumstances and the constraints they face are central to any consideration of ways and means of improving farming systems. The management, research and extension, and policy needs of the farmers attending this workshop were diverse. This appeared to be linked with the (unexpected) degree of diversity in the business objectives and management structures on these farms. More formal research on these issues across the spectrum of farmers is required to ensure that research and technology transfer meet the industry's needs.
