On-farm experiment was carried out for four consecutive seasons: Boro (dry season) 2011-12, Transplanted Aman (T. Aman, wet season) 2012, Boro 2012- 13 and T. Aman 2013 at the farmer’s field in Londonipara, Sonagazi, Feni to develop fertilizer recommendation for rice-based cropping systems in saline and charland ecosystem in Bangladesh. The experiments were designed with eight treatments and laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The treatment combinations were: T1 = 100% NPKSZn (STB), T2 = T1 + 25% N, T3 = T1 + 25% NP, T4 = T1 + 25% NK, T5 = T1 + 25% PK, T6 = T1 + 25% NPK, T7 = 75% of T1 and T8 = Absolute control. Results indicated that application of different fertilizers significantly affected the grain yield at all of the seasons. In Boro 2011-12, the highest grain yield was found in treatment T1 (100% STB) while T3 (T1 + 25% NP) gave highest grain yield in Boro 2012-13. Statistically identical yield was observed in Boro 2011-12 with all treatments except control (T8). Highest grain yield was found with T6 (T1 + 25% NPK) treatments in both of T. Aman 2012 and 2013 seasons. Annual straw yield was found more in T6 (T1 + 25% NPK) treatment. All the treatment combinations gave significantly higher yield over the control in all seasons. However, on the basis of yield performance, economic analysis and nutrient absorption, the treatment T6 = T1 + 25% NPK (N225P30K17.5S15Zn4 for Boro and N121P15K9S10Zn3 for T. Aman) performed the best among the treatments.Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 42(3): 521-529, September 2017

An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during June to December 2014 with a view to finding out the effect of variety and level of nitrogen on the yield performance of fine aromatic rice. The experiment consisted of three varieties viz. Kalizira, Binadhan-13 and BRRI dhan34, and six levels of nitrogen viz. 0, 30, 60, 90 kg N ha-1, USG 1.8 g 4 hills-1 (55 kg N ha-1) and USG 2.7 g 4 hills-1 (80 kg N ha-1). The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Variety, level of nitrogen and their interaction significantly influenced the yield of aromatic rice. The highest grain yield (3.33 t ha-1) was obtained from Binadhan-13 followed by BRRI dhan34 (3.16 t ha-1) and the lowest grain yield was found in Kalizira (2.11 t ha-1). In case of N, the tallest plant (140.3 cm), highest number of effective tillers hill-1 (11.40), grains panicle-1 (152.8), and grain yield (3.32 t ha-1) were obtained when fertilized with USG 1.8 g 4 hills-1 and the lowest values were found in 0 kg N ha-1. Therefore, Binadhan-13 fertilized with USG 1.8 g 4 hills-1 (55 kg N ha-1) appeared as the promising practice for appreciable grain yield.J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 9(1): 41-45 2016

An investigation was carried out at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University to inspect the effect of vermicompost based nitrogen management and plant spacing on the yield performance of short duration transplant Aus rice (cv. Parija). The study comprised three spacing viz. 20 cm × 20 cm, 20 cm × 15 cm and 20 cm × 10 cm, and five nitrogen management viz. no nitrogen, 75 kg N ha-1, 55 kg N ha-1 + vermicompost @1.25 t ha-1, 35 kg N ha-1 + vermicompost @2.5 t ha-1 and vermicompost @5 t ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. At harvest, both the spacing of 20 cm × 20 cm and 20 cm × 15 cm produced the tallest plants, the highest number of total tillers hill-1 and effective tillers hill-1. The highest grain yield (3.59 t ha-1) was recorded in 20 cm × 15 cm spacing which was at par with the grain yield (3.52 t ha-1) in 20 cm × 10 cm spacing. The 20 cm × 10 cm spacing also produced the highest straw yield (4.88 t ha-1) and biological yield (8.40 t ha-1). The lowest grain, straw and biological yields were recorded at the wider spacing of 20 cm × 20 cm. In contrast, the highest grain yield (3.79 t ha-1), straw yield (4.99 t ha-1) and biological yield (8.79 t ha-1) were found in 75 kg N ha-1 which was as good as the yields of 55 kg N ha-1 N+ vermicompost @1.25 t ha-1. The highest number of total tillers hill-1 (14.11) and effective tillers hill-1 (12.67) were found in the interaction effect of 20 cm × 20 cm spacing with 75 kg N ha-1. The interaction between 20 cm × 15 cm and 55 kg N ha-1 N+ vermicompost @1.25 t ha-1 gave the highest grain yield (4.58 t ha-1), straw yield (5.71 t ha-1) and biological yield (10.29 t ha-1). The lowest grain yield (2.03 t ha-1), straw yield (3.49 t ha-1) and biological yield (5.52 t ha-1) were found in the interaction between 20 cm × 20 cm and no nitrogen. Therefore, usage of 20 cm × 15 cm spacing fertilized with 55 kg N ha-1 + vermicompost @1.25 t ha-1 appeared as the promising practice of transplant Aus rice cv. (Parija) cultivation.

The experiments were conducted on station and on farm in three districts of Wolayta and Hadiya Zones, south region, Ethiopia, to evaluate the adaptation and yield, assess farmer’s preferences of desi chick pea varieties  to this agro ecological Zones during 2004/05 Meher Season. Data on plant height, hundred seed weight, pod per plant, days to flowering, days to maturity and grain yield were recorded. Five released varieties namely worku, Akaki, Mariye, Dubie, Dz-10-11 and local checks of respective locations were planted on 4.8m2 plots at spacing of 30cm*10cm. The trials were laid in randomized complete block design with three replications. Twelve farmers from three districts at four villages’ three farmers at each village were participated in conducting on farm trials with each farmer as a replicate. There were significant differences among varieties for grain yield and some of traits.  The varieties Akaki and worku were superior yielded overall to the standard and local check across villages ’and on stations. Thus, Akaki and worku out yielded other varieties and had average yields of 1440.95 kg/ha and 1434.75kg/ha at on station and similar trends on farm. The combined statistical analysis and farmers assessments revealed Akaki and worku out yielding other varieties which were also selected by farmers and researchers as the most preferred varieties’. It is therefore recommended that worku and Akaki which had higher yields be promoted for cultivation in the selected districts of south Ethiopia.

An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during November 2008 to April 2009 to evaluate the effect of row and hill spacings on the yield of rice (cv. BRRI dhan45) under aerobic system of cultivation in boro season. Aerobic system is a new water efficient rice production system where the crop is grown by direct seeding on well prepared dry beds and also by maintaining the soil moisture at field capacity during the growing period. The experiment consisted of two row to row spacings viz. 20 and    25 cm, and five hill to hill spacings viz., 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 20 cm. The trial was laid out in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Results revealed that the crop sown at 25 cm ×15 cm produced the highest grain yield of 5.69 t ha-1 whereas the lowest grain yield of 2.11 t ha-1 was found with 20 cm × 2.5 cm spacing. The present study concludes that the highest grain yield of BRRI dhan45 during boro season under aerobic system of cultivation could be achieved by sowing at 25 cm ×15 cm spacing.   DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jbau.v10i1.12037   J.

The experiment was carried out during the period of June to November 2013 at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh with a view to examine the yield performance of some transplant aman rice varieties as influenced by different levels of nitrogen. The experiment consisted of four varieties viz. BRRI dhan49, BRRI dhan52, BRRI dhan56, BRRI dhan57 and four levels of N viz. 0, 46, 60 and 75 kg ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Variety, levels of N and their interactions exerted significant influence on yield contributing characters and yield of transplant aman rice. Among the varieties, BRRI dhan52 produced the tallest plant (117.20 cm), highest number of effective tillers hill-1 (11.28), grains panicle-1 (121.5) and 1000-grain weight (23.65 g) whereas the lowest values of these parameters were produced by BRRI dhan57. Highest grain yield (5.69 t ha-1) was obtained from BRRI dhan52 followed by BRRI dhan49 (5.15 t ha-1) and the lowest one (4.25 t ha-1) was obtained from BRRI dhan57. In case of N, the tallest plant (111.70 cm), highest number of total tillers hill-1 (12.34), grains panicle-1 (133.6), 1000-grain weight (24.55 g) and grain yield (5.64 t ha-1) were obtained from 75 kg N ha-1 and the lowest values were obtained from control. BRRI dhan52 fertilized with 75 kg N ha-1 showed best performance with respect to all the parameters studied. The overall results suggest that BRRI dhan52 should be fertilized with 75 kg N ha-1 for getting higher yield under the agro-climatic condition of BAU.J. Bangladesh Agril.

A field experiment was conducted as on-farm research at Duradanda Lamjung during rainy season 2016 (June to October) to find out the promising genotype to grow in the mid hill of Nepal. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Complete Block Design with 3 replications (farmers as a replication) of 6 genotypes (NR10769-4-2-2, 08FAN10, Khumal 4, NR11105-B-B-27, NR11052-B-B-B-B-66, NR11011-B-B-B-B-29) with a check (Ghaiya). The sterility percent ranged from (15.87-26.35), highest being of 08FAN 10 and lowest of NR 10769. Test weight ranged from (26.03-27.45), highest of Ghaiya and lowest of NR10769. The results revealed that the maximum effective tiller (266 tillers/m2), number of filled grain per panicle (115 grains) and panicle length (27.17 cm) were observed in Ghaiya while minimum effective tiller (202 tillers/m2) and filled grain (77 grains) were found in NR11052-B-B-B-B-66. The result shows that local variety Ghaiya had the highest yield (4.34 ton ha-1) which was highly significant followed by the genotype NR11105-B-B-27 (3.42 ton ha-1) and the genotype NR11052-B-B-B-B-66 had the lowest yield (2.50 ton ha-1). Therefore, ghaiya rice was better in Duradanda as compared to other genotypes and need to be encouraged among farmers. Correlation studied shows that harvest index, thousand grain weight, flag leaf width showed positive and significant association with grain yield, while Flag leaf length, flag leaf area, effective grain per panicle, number of effective tillers per m2, no. of tiller per hill showed positive non significant association to grain yield. So, the improvement in grain yield would be effective and economical, if the selection is based on these component traits.
