A study was conducted in Calcareous Low Ganges River Floodplain Soil (AEZ 12) at Regional Pulses Research (RPRS), Madaripur during the Rabi season of 2010-12.The objectives were to evaluate the effect of Zinc (Zn) and Boron (B) on the yield and yield contributing characters of lentil (Lens culinaris Medic) and to estimate the optimum dose of Zn and B for yield maximization. There were 16 treatment combinations comprising four levels each of Zinc (0, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 kg/ha) and Boron (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 kg/ha) along with a blanket dose of N20 P16 K30 S10 kg/ha were used. The treatments were arranged viz. T1= Zn0B0; T2= Zn0B0.5; T3= Zn0B1.0; T4= Zn0B1.5; T5= Zn1.0B0; T6= Zn1.0B0.5; T7= Zn1.0B1.0; T8= Zn1.0B1.5; T9= Zn2.0B0; T10= Zn2.0B0.5; T11= Zn2.0B1.0; T12= Zn2.0B1.5; T13= Zn3.0B0; T14= Zn3.0B0.5; T15= Zn3.0B1.0 and T16= Zn3.0B1.5. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with three replications. Results showed that the combination of Zn3.0B1.5 produced significantly higher seed yield (1156 kg/ha). The lowest seed yield (844 kg/ha) was found in control (Zn0B0) combination. The combined application of zinc and boron were superior to their single application. Therefore, the combination of Zn3.0B1.5 may be considered as suitable dose for lentil cultivation in Bangladesh. But from regression analysis, the optimum treatment combination was Zn2.85B1.44 for Madaripur, Bangladesh. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjar.v39i4.22538 Bangladesh J. Agril.

An experiment was carried out in Calcareous Low Ganges River Floodplain Soil (AEZ 12) at Pulses Research Sub-Station (PRSS), Madaripur during Kharif I of 2008 and 2009.The objectives were to evaluate the effect of zinc (Zn) and boron (B) on the yield and yield contributing characters of mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek) and to find out the optimum dose of Zn and B for yield maximization. There were four levels of zinc (0, 0.75, 1.5, and 3.0 kg/ha and boron (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 2 kg/ha) along with a blanket dose of N20 P25 K35 S20 kg/ha. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with three replications. Results showed that the combination of Zn1.5B1.0 produced significantly higher yield (3058 kg/ha) and (2631 kg/ha, in the year 2008 and 2009, respectively. The lowest yield (2173 kg/ha) and (1573 kg/ha, were found in control (Zn0B0) combination. The combined application of zinc and boron were observed superior to their single application in both the years. Therefore, the combination of Zn1.5B1.0 might be considered as suitable dose for mungbean cultivation in Bangladesh. But from regression analysis, the optimum treatment combination was Zn1.87 B1.24 kg/ha for Madaripur.   Keywords: Zinc; boron; mungbean; yield; yield contributing characters.

Field experiments on chickpea (cv. BARI Chola-5) were carried out in Calcareous Dark Grey Floodplain Soil under AEZ 11 at Jessore and Non Calcareous Grey Floodplain Soil under AEZ 13 at Rahmatpur during the rabi season of 2001-2002 and 2002-2003. The objective was to find out the optimum dose of boron and molybdenum for yield maximization. Four levels each of boron (0, 1, 2 and 2.5 kg/ha) and molybdenum (0, 1, 1.5 and 2 kg/ha) along with a blanket dose of N20 P25 K35 S20 Zn2 kg/ha & cowdung 5 t/ha were applied in this study. The combination of B2.5 Mo1.5 kg/ha and B2.5 Mo1 kg/ha produced significantly higher yield in both the years of study at Jessore and Rahmatpur, respectively. The said treatments produced the highest mean yields of 2.10 and 1.49 t/ha for Jessore and Rahmatpur, respectively, which was around 53% higher over control (B0 M0). The combined application of both boron and molybdenum were found superior to their single application even though boron played major role in augmenting the yield. However, from the regression analysis, the optimum treatment combination was calculated as B2.34 Mo1.44 kg/ha for Jessore and B2.20 Mo1.29 kg/ha for Rahmatpur.

A field experiment was carried out in non-Calcareous Floodplain Soil of Spices Research Sub-Station, Lalmonirhat under AEZ 2 during the rabi season of 2007- 2008 and 2008-09. The objectives were to evaluate the effect of boron on the yield of mustard and to screen out the suitable variety tested against different boron levels for maximizing yield. Three varieties of mustard viz., BARI Sharisha-11, 13, and 14 and 5 levels of boron (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 kg/ha) along with a blanket dose of N120 P35 K65 S20 Zn3.0 kg/ha were used in the study. Results revealed that BARI Sharisha-11 performed better with 1.5 kg B/ha which produced 1.82 t/ha seed. However, from regression analysis, a positive but quadratic relationship was observed between seed yield and boron levels. The optimum dose of boron was appeared to be 1.7 and 1.6 kg B/ha for Lalmonirhat during 2007-08 and 2008-09, respectively. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjar.v37i4.14392 Bangladesh J. Agril.

A field experiment was conducted at vegetables research field of Horticulture Research Centre, Gazipur in terrace soils under Madhupur Tract (AEZ 28) during rabi seasons of 2009-10, 2010-11and 2011-12 to determine the optimum dose of boron and zinc for yield maximization of capsicum. There were sixteen treatment combinations comprising four levels each of B (0, 1, 2 and 3 kg ha-1) and Zn (0, 2, 3 and 4 kg ha-1) along with blanket dose of N150P65K120S20 kg ha-1 including cow dung 10 t ha-1 were used. The experiment was laid out in RCBD factorial with three replications. Results revealed that maximum mean number of fruits per plant (11.1), the highest fruit length (9.29 cm) and diameter (7.34 cm), maximum individual weight of fruits (122 g) were recorded from the combination treatment of B2.0Zn3.0 and the highest mean yield (31.8 t ha-1) was also recorded from the same treatment. The 84.8% yield increase over control (B0Zn0) due to combined application of B2.0Zn3.0 kg ha-1. The combined application of zinc and boron were observed superior to their single application. Therefore, the combination of B2.0Zn3.0 treatment may be considered as suitable dose for capsicum cultivation in terrace soils of Bangladesh.Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 42(1): 43-52, March 2017

An experiment was conducted at Madaripur and Gazipur during rabi (winter) season of 2012-13 and 2013-14 to determine the optimum dose of B for different varieties of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). There were 12 treatment combinations comprising three varieties (BARI Chola-5, BARI Chola-8 and BARI Chola-9) and four levels of boron (0, 1, 1.5 and 2 kg ha-1) along with a blanket dose of N20P20K25S10Zn2 kg ha-1. Boron was applied as H3BO3. Results showed BARI Chola-9 with 1.5 kg B ha-1 produced the highest seed yield of 1338 kg ha- 1 at Madaripur and 2218 kg ha-1 at Gazipur. Nodulation, nitrogen (N) and protein contents were also found highest for the same variety and B treatment. The other two varieties (BARI Chola-5 and BARI Chola-8) also performed higher yield in the plot receiving 1.5 kg B ha-1 compared to 1 kg B ha-1 or 2 kg B ha-1 at both locations. The results suggest that BARI Chola-9 and 1.5 kg B ha-1 along with N20P20K25S10Zn2 kg ha-1 could be used for achieving higher yield of chickpea in calcareous and terrace soils of Bangladesh.Bangladesh J.

In severely deficit soil, lentil (Lens culinaris Medic) crop requires micronutrients for increased production. Micronutrient management is, therefore, very important for lentil productivity but mostly ignored. This study was carried out from 2014–2015 to 2016–2017 to understand the effects of zinc (Zn), boron (B), and molybdenum (Mo) on lentil productivity, nodulation, and nutrient uptake and how these elements improve soil micronutrient fertility. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design, and the treatments were replicated thrice. Different combinations of Zn, Mo, and B were contrasted with no application of micronutrients. The treatments were Zn alone (Zn), B alone (B), Mo alone (Mo), Zn combined with B (ZnB), Zn with Mo (ZnMo), B with Mo (BMo), and Zn combined with B and Mo (ZnBMo). Doses of Zn, B, and Mo were 3, 2, and 1 kg ha−1, respectively. In this trial, the highest average seed yield (1807 kg ha−1) and yield increment (44%) was obtained in ZnBMo combined application with macronutrients. Single, dual, and combined application of Zn, B, and Mo had significant effects on yield parameters and yield of lentil (P < 0.05). The highest nutrient uptake, maximum nodulation (63.5 plant−1), and the highest protein content (26.6%) in seed were recorded from the treatment receiving all three micronutrients. The increased lentil yield might be associated with increased nodulation and nutrient uptake by the crop under micronutrient-applied treatments. The results suggest that combination of Zn, B, and Mo could be applied for increased lentil production in micronutrient deficit soils.

An experiment was conducted at farmer’s field of Kushtia sadar MLT site under AEZ 11 during three consecutive years at 2001-2004 to find out the rate of nutrients (NPKS) for Onion (Taherpuri), T. aus (IR-50) and T. aman rice (BR-11) to NPKS on the yield under AEZ11. Four different levels of NPKS were assigned in RCB design with 4 replications. Average of three years study reveals that a considerable response of Onion, T. aus and T. aman rice to NPKS was observed. However, the response to P, K and S was more distinct in comparison to N. Similarly, the response was more evident in Onion compared with T. aus and T. aman rice. Yield of Onion increased up to the application of 120, 43, 120 and 20 kg/ha of N, P, K and S, respectively. Yield of T. aus and T. aman rice increased up to the application of 70, 18, 34 and 10 kg/ha of N, P, K and S, respectively. From the regression analysis it was found that the relationship was almost quadratic in nature. The application of 115-40-118-18 kg NPKS/ha for Onion, 63-19-29-9 kg NPKS/ha for T. aus rice and 65-17-33-9 kg NPKS/ha for T. aman rice was the most economically optimum fertilizer dose in the High Ganges River Floodplain Soil under AEZ 11.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v20i1-2.16851 Progress.

The experiment was conducted to study the response of lentil to irrigation levels and different methods of boron application in relation to yield and yield contributing characters. Three levels of irrigation viz., I0: control (No irrigation), I1: one irrigation at 25 days after sowing (DAS), I2: two irrigations at 25 DAS and 40 DAS, and four levels of Boron viz., B0: control (No boron), B1: 80% recommended dose (RD) as basal + rest 20% as a foliar spray (FS) at pre-flowering (PF), B2: 60% RD as basal + rest 40% as FS at PF, B3: 40% RD as basal + rest 60% as FS at PF as treatment variables. It was found that the highest number of pods plant-1, number of seeds pod-1, 1000-seed weight, pod length, seed yield and stover yield was obtained with two irrigations. In contrast, B3 had a significant effect on the yield contributing characters of lentil. Results also revealed that numerically more seed yield (638.23 kg ha-1) was recorded in I2B3. Similar trend was found in case of stover yield (751.26 kg ha-1) and biological yield (1389.4 kg ha-1) from I2B3 combinations. These results suggested that combined application of irrigation at 25 and 40 DAS and boron at 40% RD as basal + rest 60% as FS at PF significantly enhanced the crop yields of lentil.

An experiment was carried out at farmer’s field of Kushtia district under High Ganges River Floodplain Soil (AEZ-11) during Rabi seasons of 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the effect of boron on the yield of hybrid maize (cv. BARI Hybrid Bhutta-9) and to find out the optimum dose of boron for higher yield and economic return. There were 6 treatments comprising 6 levels (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5 kg B ha-1) of boron along with a blanket dose of N256 P65 K45 S27 Zn3 kg ha-1 and cowdung 5 tha-1. Boron fertility of the initial soil was in medium level (0.33 μg g-1). The experiment was conducted in RCB design with three compact replications. Results of three years study revealed that hybrid maize responded significantly to added boron for the first two years but for the third year the effect was statistically non significant. The highest grain yield was obtained with 2.5 kg B ha-1, which was marginally significant with boron control but statistically identical to rest of the boron levels. Although, the yield increased linearly up to 2.5 kg ha-1 but the effect was relatively better fitted with quadratic response function (R2 = 0.943). The mean highest grain yield found to be 8.55 t ha-1 for 2.5 kg B ha-1 against 8.20 t ha-1 from 0.5 kg B ha-1 and 7.84 t ha-1 from boron control. Considering the boron fertilty of soil, response of maize to boron and economic return, the optimum dose of boron may be 0.5 kg ha-1 for the cultivation of hybrid maize for medium level boron fertile soil under AEZ-11 of Kushtia district or alike.Bangladesh J.
