Integrated management of Fusarium wilt of gladiolus was studied at Horticulture Research Centre (HRC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur during 2011-2013 following RCB design with four replications. Seven treatment such as (1) Corm treated with Bavistin @ 0.1% for 15 minutes, (2) Corm treated with hot water @ 54oc for 5 minutes, (3) Corm treated with hot water @ 52oc for 10 minutes, (4) Poultry refuse @ 5t/ha, (5) Mustard oil cake @ 600 kg/ha, (6) Bio-pesticide @ 64kg/ha, (7) Bavistin @ 0.1% as soil drenching were evaluated in nine different combinations against the Fusarium wilt of gladiolus (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. gladioli) under naturally infested field condition. Corm treated with Bavistin (0.1%) for 15 minutes + Poultry refuse @ 5t/ha in soil application 25 days before corm sowing + Bavistin @ 0.1% as soil drenching at 45 days after corm sowing gave best integrated management option for reducing Fusarium wilt of gladiolus and thereby resulting maximum germination, spike length, rachis length, florets spike-1, flower sticks, corm and comel yield. Besides, integration of Bavistin (0.1%) as corm treatment for 15 minutes + Mustard oil cake @ 600 kg/ha in soil application 25 days before corm sowing + Bavistin (0.1%) as soil drenching at 45 days after corm sowing was also better option for combating Fusarium wilt of gladiolus. The alternate option was integration of Bavistin (0.1%) as corm treatment for 15 minutes + Bio-pesticide in soil application 7 days before corm sowing + Bavistin (0.1%) as soil drenching at 45 days after corm sowing was effective against the disease incidence as well as better spike length, rachis length, florets spike-1, flower sticks, corm and cormel yield.Bangladesh J.

A field experiment was conducted at Regional Wheat Research Centre of the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Joydebpur, Gazipur, Bangladesh for 2 consecutive years during 2007 and 2008 to find out the optimum nutrient management practice for seed yield, nutrient balance and economics of mungbean. Twelve nutrient management treatments were tested in RCBD with 3 replications. Treatments were without CRI T1=HYG (0-24-40-48-24-3-1.2), T2=MYG (0-20-36-40-20-2-1), T3=IPNS (5000-9-37-36-21-3-1.2), T4=STB (0- 20-36-40-22-2-1), T5=FP (0-6-5-4-0-0-0), T6=CON (0-0-0-0-0-0-0) and with CRI T7=HYG+CRI, T8=MYG+CRI, T9=IPNS+CRI, T10=STB+CRI, T11=FP+CRI, T12=CON+CRI kg ha-1 CDNPKSZnB for mungbean. The maximum seed yield of mungbean was obtained from STB+CRI (1.57 t ha-1) followed by IPNS+CRI (1.54 t ha-1), STB (1.54 t ha-1), IPNS (1.52 t ha-1), HYG+CRI (1.44 t ha-1) and HYG (1.41 t ha-1) in 2007. Similar trend was found in 2008. Numerically higher yield and yield contributing parameters were noticed in CRI plots than without CRI. N and K balance were found negative in all the treatments. P, S, Zn and B balance were found positive in case of HYG, MYG, IPNS and STB along with or without CRI nutrient managements. While in case of FP and CON, the balance was shown almost negative. The maximum gross return and margin was obtained from STB+CRI followed by STB. Slightly higher BCR (3.00) was recorded from STB followed by STB+CRI (2.91).Bangladesh J. Agril.
