An experiment was carried out at the Olericulture field of Horticulture Research Centre of BARJ, Joydebpur, Gazipur during September 2006 to April 2007 to investigate yield and yield attributes of sweet pepper as influenced by plant spacing and sowing time. There were altogether 21 treatments comprising seven sowing dates viz. 1 September, 15 September, 1 October, 15 October, 30 October, 15 November, 30 November and three spacings viz. 50 × 50 cm, 50x40 cm, and 50 × 30 cm. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (factorial) with three replications. The results of the experiment showed that majority of the yield and yield components significantly varied with variation of spacing and sowing time. Only number of fruits per plant and fruit yield per plant resulted significantly higher which reflected higher yield for 1 October sowing. The number of branches per plant, number of fruits per plant, fruit length, individual fruit weight, yield per plant were found significantly increased with the increasing plant spacings but other parameters were found to be significantly increased with the decreasing plant spacing. The combined effect of sowing date and plant spacing also had significant effect on different growth and yield parameters and yield. The highest yield (19.36 t/ha) of fruit was recorded from the earlier sowing (1 October) with the closest spacing (50 × 30 cm). But reasonable yield could be obtained up to 30 October with same spacing. Keywords: Sowing time and plant spacing; yield and yield attributes; sweet pepper.

Rice transplanting and sowing time sometimes get delayed due to lack of assured irrigation or surplus of rainfall. Moreover, no specific varieties have been specifically developed for this purpose. An experiment was conducted to study the effect of sowing dates and varieties on growth and yield of direct seeded rice during rainy season in 2010. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four sowing dates and three varieties in sub plot. Sowing date on June 13th contributed to higher grain yield; higher gross return; net return and higher B:C ratio per hectare. Similarly, the variety Hardinath-1 excelled better in all these parameters with early maturity. The interaction effect of Hardinath-1 with June 13 sowing took lower days for maturity; produced higher number of effective tillers (386.3); heat use efficiency (2.14); straw yield (7.43 t ha-1); and relatively higher grain yield (4.22 t ha-1); gross return (Rs.108.55 thousand); net return (Rs. 51.22 thousands) and B:C ratio (1.89). Therefore, variety Hardinath-1 with June 13 sowing is best suited to get higher yield, timely maturity and higher economic return in Chitwan conditions.

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of sowing date on quality seed production of sweet pepper at the research farm of Seed Technology Division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, during 2011-2012. The aim of this study was to find out the optimum sowing date for quality seed production of sweet pepper. The treatments were 4 four sowing dates viz. 15 October, 30 October, 15 November and 30 November. Seeds were sown in seed bed for 1st sowing on 30 September, for 2nd sowing on 15 October, for 3rd sowing on 30 October and for 4th sowing on 15 November. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCB) with three replications. The highest individual fruit weight, 1000 seed weight was obtained from the October 15 sowing date in the year of 2011-2012 and it was significantly different from all other dates of sowing. Maximum seed yield (86.2 kg ha-1) was recorded in 2nd sowing date (15 October) followed by 3rd sowing date (30 October) treatment while the lowest was found from 4th sowing date (15 November) (30.72, kg ha-1). Maximum seed quality as measured by moisture content, dry weight, vigour index and germination percentage were obtained at different sowing date. Maximum seed weight (mass maturity) was achieved at 1st sowing when average seed moisture contents were 5% and 4%, respectively. For high seed quality, sweet pepper is better sowing time at 2nd sowing time (15 October) which could be regarded as the point of physiological maturity.Progressive Agriculture 28 (3): 216-221, 2017

The field experiment was conducted, in the fields of Hamelmalo Agricultural College, to evaluate the response of sowing-dates and PK (Phosphorous and Potassium) fertilizer levels on phenological aspects, yield and yield components of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L). The experiment was done through a factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) where each treatment was replicated three times. The two factors were: sowing-dates which was composed of three sowing dates; namely, middle kiremti (end of July i.e., mid-summer), late kiremti (middle of August- late-summer) and early qewee (early September-early autumn) and P: K fertilizers which was composed of five rates (0kg/ha, 125 kg/ha (75:50), 150 kg/ha (90:60), 175 kg/ha (105:70) and 200 kg/ha (120:80). Results showed that, the highest significant mean values of leaf area (389.4cm2), leaf numbers (28.2) were recorded from middle kiremti sowing date coupled with 320kg/ha and 175kg/ha PK rates respectively. Besides this the highest significant values of both number of fruits (43.8) and total yield (15.26t/ha) were obtained from highest PK rate coupled with late kiremti and middle kiremti respectively.  The sole effects of the PK rates as well as the sowing dates were found to be significant on all the parameters mentioned above including individual fruit weight.  It is therefore the sowing during late kiremti coupled with application of 200kg/ha kg/ha was the best for getting the best economic returns.

A field experiment was conducted at KVK Kalyan instructional farm at Jahajpur of Purulia district of West Bengal during rabi season of 2018-19 to assess the effect of Biochar and Vermicompost as organic soil amendments on yield of brinjal under red and lateritic soils of Purulia, West Bengal. Biochar and vermicompost applied alone additionally in the farmers practice. The experiment design adopted was Randomised Block Design (RBD) having four replications with three treatments The treatments comprises of T1: Application of N:P:K  70:30:30 kg/ha (Farmers’ practice) + FYM @ 2 t/ha, T2: Farmers practice  + Vermicompost @ 5 t/ha, T3: Farmers practice  + Biochar @ 10 t/ha. The growth and yield attributing characters recorded was plant height at 30, 60, 90 and 120 DAT, number of fruits per plant, average fruit weight, yield per plant and total yield. Application of biochar and vermicompost had a significant effect on the growth and yield of Brinjal. Highest growth yield attributes and highest fruit yield (22.36 t/ha) were obtained due to the application of farmers practice + vermicompost @ 5 t/ha (T2). Application of biochar along with farmers’ practice did not show any significant results in brinjal yield as compare to vermicompost application treatment. The potential for long-term benefits of biochar remain to be explored through continued research in the red laterite soils of Purulia district of West Bengal.

Abstract Cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) yield have plateaued due to reduction in rainfall and rise in temperature. Therefore, its production cycle could not get appropriate water and temperature. It becomes important to standardize sowing time and plant spacing of cluster bean in changing climate scenario to get higher productivity. Therefore, a field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of four sowing times (15th May, 1st June, 15th June, and 1st July) and three plant spacings (10, 12 and 15 cm) on crop growth, yield, and physiological functions of cluster bean genotype BR-2017. The sowing times (15th May, 1st June, 15th June, and 1st July) were placed in the main plot while plant spacing (10, 12 and 15 cm) were maintained in subplots. Results showed that 1st June sowing performed better over 15th May, 15th June, and 1st July while plant spacing 15 cm about in all sowing times showed higher results on growth and yield parameters of cluster bean over plant spacing 10, 12, and 15 cm. The 1st June sowing time at 15 cm plant spacing showed 8.0, 22.7, and 28.5% higher grains pod-1 as compared to 15th May, 15th June, and 1st July sowing respectively. The chord diagram clearly indicates that the crop has received optimum environmental conditions when sown 1st June over other sowing times. In conclusion, 1st June sowing with 15 cm plant spacing could be a good option to achieve maximum productivity of cluster bean under changing climate scenario.

The experiment was conducted at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (90o22 E, 23o 41 N), Dhaka, Bangladesh in  Rabi (winter) season of 2017-2018 to study the effects of sowing date on  growth and  yield of four white maize genotypes, viz.  PSC-121, Yangnuo-7, Yungnuo-30 and Changnuo-6. Sowing dates were November 26, December 11, and December 26. Data were collected on different phenological growth stages, dry matter, physiological attributes, yield, and yield attributes. A delay in sowing date delayed the time required for seedling emergence, to reach the 6-leaf collar, maturity stage, and also reduced yield. The planting of PSC-121 in November 26 gave the highest dry matter plant-1, the number of grains cob-1, and 100- grain weight that resulted in the highest grain yield (11.65 t/ha) of the genotype.
