A field experiment was conducted at the Central Research Station of BARI, Gazipur for two consecutive years 2010-11 and 2011-12 with 30 varieties/ genotypes of rapeseed-mustard under three dates of sowing viz., 25 November, 5 December, and 15 December to determine changes in crop phenology, growth and yield of mustard genotypes under late sown condition when the crop faced high temperature. Days to flowering and maturity were different at different planting times. Date of sowing significantly influenced plant height, siliquae/plant, seeds/siliqua, seed yield, and oil content of seed in both the years. The highest seed yield (1310 and 1535 kg/ha) was obtained from the first planting (25 November) in both the years, which was significantly different from two other dates of sowing. Yield and yield attributes of different varieties varied significantly. Among the varieties, BARI Sarisha-16 of Brassica juncea gave significantly the highest seed yield (1495 and 1415 kg/ha), which was statistically identical to BJDH-11, BJDH-12, BJDH-05, BJDH-20, and BARI Sarisha-6 and significantly different from all other varieties. Interaction effect of variety and sowing date significantly influenced plant height, number of siliquae per plant, number of seeds per siliqua, seed yield, and strover yield. The highest seed yield (1758 and 1825 kg/ha) were recorded from BJDH-11 and BARI Sarisha-16 of Brassica juncea at 25 November planting and BJDH-11 produced the highest yield at 15 December in both the years. The maximum strover yield (3758 and 3825 kg/ha) were obtained from BJDH-11 and BARI Sarisha-16 of Brassica juncea at 25 November planting during 2010-11 and 2011-12. The highest oil content of seeds (44.4 % and 45.9%) were obtained from the seed of BARI Sarisha-6 and BARI Sarisha-14 at 25 November planting in both the years.

An experiment was carried-out with forty-eight hybrids of pigeonpea and two checks for nine characters at Agricultural Research Station, Tandur (Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University). Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the hybrids for all the nine characters studied. The results of genetic parameters revealed that, high genotypic (GCV) and phenotypic coefficients of variations (PCV) were observed for seed yield and number of pods per plant. Six characters viz., number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, pod length, test weight and seed yield exhibited high heritability estimates coupled with high genetic advance as per cent of mean which suggested that these traits were amenable for further improvement following simple selection methods. Character association revealed significant positive association of seed yield with plant height,number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and pod length. Based on divergence studies, the hybrids were grouped into nine clusters in Tocher’s method, cluster II (14 hybrids) was the largest followed by cluster I (13), cluster VI (9), cluster IV (6), cluster IX (4) and the remaining clusters were solitary (III, V, VII and VIII). Out of the nine characters studied, seed yield, days to 50% flowering, test weight and plant height contributed 85.62 per cent of the total divergence and these traits were found to be important factors for genetic differentiation in the hybrids. The overall results of the study revealed that, hybrids under cluster IV and VIII and cluster VII and VIII had maximum and minimum inter cluster distances respectively and possessing high genetic diversity for the characters viz. plant height, number of branches per plant, number of seeds per pod and yield.

A field experiment was conducted at Regional Research Station (Punjab Agricultural University) Gurdaspur and Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Pathankot during the spring season of 2016, to determine the performance of kidney bean genotypes at different sowing dates under sub-mountainous conditions of Punjab. The two kidney bean genotypes i.e. red and speckled were evaluated for yield potential at two locations by adopting different sowing dates viz., 20th January, 1st February, 10th February and 20th February, 2016. The treatments were laid out in split plot design with four replications by keeping sowing dates in main plots and genotypes in sub plots. Among different dates of sowing, crop sown on 10th February showed superiority than other dates through higher emergence count per meter row length, plant height, branches per plant, pods per plant, seeds per pod, length of pod, biological yield and seed yield. The seed yield in February 10 sown crop was 66.4, 33.3 and 21.7 per cent higher than February 20, January 10 and February 1 sown crop, respectively at Gurdaspur. Similarly, at Pathankot, the percent increase in seed yield in February 10 sown crop was 36.0 and 7.2 per cent as compared to February 20 and February 1 sown crop, respectively. The kidney bean genotype speckled produced significantly higher yield attributes (seeds per pod, length of pod and 100 seed weight) and seed yield at both Gurdaspur and Pathankot (935.1 and 823.1 kg per ha, respectively) as compared to red genotype. Therefore, it can be concluded that to attain higher productivity of kidney beans, the speckled genotype could be used for cultivation by adopting February 10 as the optimum time of sowing in the sub-mountainous area of Punjab.

Agronomic Biofortification

Background and Objective: Sulphur and boron are found as most critical nutrient elements for the better growth and yield of mustard crop however no such concrete information for their uses in field production of this crop is yet to be reported. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of agronomic biofortification of sulphur and boron nutrients on the growth and yield of mustard crop. Study Design: The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replicates. Place of Study: The experiment was carried out in the Crop Botany Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Methodology: Three doses of sulphur (S) viz. 0, 20 and 40 kg ha-1 and three doses of boron (B) viz. 0, 0.5 and 1.0 kg ha-1 and their possible combinations were used as basal doses. Field data were collected from periodic destructive samplings on the plant height, number of leaves and branches per plant, total dry matter accumulation and finally yield components and yield. Results: Sulphur and boron fertilizations significantly influence the plant height, production of branches and leaves per plant, dry matter accumulation and yield attributes and yield of mustard crop. The mustard crop fertilized with 40 kg S ha-1 in combination with 1 B kg ha-1 produced taller plant, higher number of branches and leaves in each plant and higher amount of dry matter per plant while these plant traits were found as minimum when the growing the mustard crops in control plots i.e. the plants received neither sulphur nor boron. Application of sulphur @ 40 kg ha-1 along with boron @ 1 kg ha-1 produced the highest seed yield (2.73 t ha-1) whereas the lowest seed yield (1.08 t ha-1) was found where no sulphur and boron were applied. Conclusion: The result conclude that combine application of sulphur and boron @ 40 and 1 kg per hectare, respectively was found to be most effective dose in enhancing growth and yield of mustard crop.

At Kimberley Research Station in the 1962 dry season, two varieties of Brassica ca.mpe.rtris and one of B. juncea were sown under irrigation at four dates from May 1 to July 2 with six nitrogen fertilizer treatments. Seed yield was reduced with later date of sowing. There was a small linear response to nitrogen fertilizer up to 80 lb an acre nitrogen. Applying half the nitrogen at sowing and half at budding showed no advantage over applying all the nitrogen at sowing. Oil content was also reduced with later date of sowing. Nitrogen fertilizer at the highest level reduced oil content slightly. Although seed and oil yield were highest at the first sowing, dry matter and nitrogen yield of tops were highest at the second sowing. The fall in seed and oil yield with later date of sowing appeared to be associated more with rising temperature during the seed maturation period than with general vegetative performance.

An on farm trial was conducted consequently two years inRabi seasons ofthe year 2011-12 and 2012-13 tooptimize the dose of sulphur to achieve markedly higher growth attributes, yield attributes and yield of mustard (Brassica junceaL.) cv, ‘Rajendrasuflam’. Results of the trial revealed that growth and yield attributes like plant height, no. of branches plant-1, no. of siliqua plant-1and test weight were recorded significantly higher with the application of 40 kg Sulphur ha-1 but it was statistically at par with the 30 kg Sulphurha-1. The significantly higher seed (13.93 and 13.98 q ha-1) and stover yield was recorded with the application of sulphur @ 40 kg Sulphur ha-1 which was at par with 30 kg Sulphur ha-1, whereas lowest seed yields (10.13 and 10.14 q ha-1) was associated with farmers’ practice i.e. no sulphur during both the years of experimentations. However, the highest gross return (Rs. 51541 and Rs.51736 ha-1), net return (Rs.31923 and Rs. 31311 ha-1) and B: C ratio (2.63 and 2.53) was recorded @ 40 kg S ha-1 and lowest economics parameters were recorded with no sulphur application.

Field experiments were conducted at the Central Research Station of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Joydebpur, Gazipur during the period from November to February in 2004-05 and 2005-06 to evaluate the effect of different levels of sulphur (0, 20, 40, 60, and 80 kg/ha) on rapeseed variety BARI Sarisha-15. Results showed that the most of the growth parameters and yield attributes were significantly influenced by different doses of sulphur. The growth parameters, yield and yield contributing characters were increased with the increasing levels of sulphur fertilizer up to 60 kg S/ha and with the doses beyond that were found to decrease. All growth parameters like plant height, leaf area, dry matter accumulation, leaf area index, crop growth rate, net assimilation rate, and relative growth rate and all yield components, such as number of siliquae per plant, seeds per siliqua, 1000-seed weight and seed yield per plant were found maximum from the treatment with 60 kg S/ha, which was at par with 80 kg S/ha. The highest seed yield (1990 and 1896 kg/ha) were found when S was used @ 60 kg/ha. The same treatment gave 24.71 % and 24.32 % higher seed yield than the control treatment, which were statistically identical with dose at 80 kg /ha of sulphur in both the years.

The experiment was conducted at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka with the financial support of SAURES (Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Research System) to study the possibility of growing quinoa in Bangladesh with different sowing dates having two cultivars. The experiment comprised of two factors; Factor A: Cultivar (2) viz., Titicaca (C1) and Vikinga (C2) and Factor B: Sowing date (5) viz. November -10 (S1), December -10 (S2), January -10 (S3), February -10 (S4) and March -10(S5). The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications. Results revealed that different growth parameters, yield attributes and yield were significantly varied with different sowing dates. At harvest, the tallest plant height (63.75 cm), highest seed yield (0.77 t ha-1) and straw yield (0.89 t ha-1) was found from Titicaca but the higher number of branches plant-1 (17.71) from Vikinga. The tallest plant height (62.54 cm), highest branch number plant-1 (22.82), longest inflorescence (29.62 cm), highest 1000-seed weight (2.56 g), seed yield (1.09 t ha-1), straw yield (1.25 t ha-1) and harvest index (46.58%) was exhibited by November -10 sowing. The interaction effect of Titicaca sown in November -10 (C1S1) resulted the highest plant height at harvest (72.83 cm), branches plant-1 (25.20), 1000-seed weight (2.58 g), seed yield (1.16 t ha-1) and straw yield (1.33 t ha-1) but the highest inflorescence length (31.46 cm) and harvest index (47.02%) from C2S2 (Vikinga sown in December – 10). From the above results it can be concluded that quinoa – as a new crop is suitable to cultivate in Rabi season of Bangladesh with a complete agronomic management package. Bangladesh Agron.

An experiment was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Jashore, Bangladesh during rabi season of (2019-2020) to evaluate the effect of foliar application of urea on growth and yield of short durative lentil variety (BARI Masur-9). The experiment was conducted in split plot design with three replications where time of urea spraying, P1= at branching stage, P2= at pod initiation stage were distributed in main plots and doses of urea spraying T1= application of 100% recommended fertilizers as basal except urea, T2= application of 100% recommended fertilizers as basal, T3= application of 75% of urea with 100% of other fertilizers as basal and rest of the 25% of urea by spraying, T4= application of 25% of urea with 100% of other fertilizers as basal and rest of the 75% of urea by spraying, T5= application of 50% of urea with 100% of other fertilizers as basal and rest of the 50% of urea by spraying were distributed in sub plots. The highest plant height, number of pods per plant were obtained from application of 75% of urea with 100% of other fertilizers as basal and rest of the 25% of urea spraying at pod initiation stage. The highest seed yield was also found from application of 75% of urea with 100% of other fertilizers as basal and rest of the 25% of urea spraying at pod initiation stage followed by application of 100% recommended fertilizers as basal and application of 50% of urea with 100% of other fertilizers as basal and rest of the 50% of urea by spraying at branching stage. Plant height, pods per plant and days to maturity showed positive correlation with seed yield. On the other hand days to flower and plants per m2 has no linear relationship with seed yield. The highest marginal benefit cost ratio (3.29) was recorded from application of 75% of urea with 100% of other fertilizers as basal and rest of the 25% of urea by spraying at pod initiation stage. So based on findings to increase the yield potential of BARI Masur-9 foliar application of urea may be a tool and hence application of 75% of urea with 100% of other fertilizers as basal and rest of the 25% of urea by spraying at pod initiation stage may be consider as the best treatment.
