Strawberry (Fragaria X annanassa Duch.) is highly exhaustive and responsive to chemical fertilizers. An experiment on strawberry was conducted in fruits research field of Horticulture Research Centre, BARI, Gazipur over three consecutive years, 2009-2010, 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 to find out the suitable combination of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K) and sulphur (S) for yield maximization of strawberry. Fourteen treatment combinations were tested in this trial comprising four levels each of N (0, 90, 115 and 140 kg ha-1), P (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg ha-1), K (0, 85, 110 and 135 kg ha-1) and S (0, 15, 25 and 35 kg ha-1) with blanket dose of 4 kg Zn ha-1, 2 kg B ha-1 and 10 t cowdung ha-1. The experiment was set up in randomized completely block design with three replications. Results showed that treatment combination N115P40K110S25 (underscript represent kg ha-1) produced higher strawberry fruit yield (9.59 t ha-1) followed by N90P40K110S25 kg ha-1 and N140P40K110S25 kg ha-1 treatment combinations. The lowest fruit yield (6.05 t ha-1) was found in control (N0P0K0S0) treatment. Therefore, the combination of N115P40K110S25 kg ha-1 may be considered as suitable dose for strawberry cultivation in terrace soils of Bangladesh.Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 43(1): 89-97, March 2018

This experiment was conducted in the experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during 2014-2015 to know the combined effect of different levels of sulphur (S) and boron (B) on yield and yield contributing characters, nutrient and oil content of mustard and to find out the suitable combination of sulphur (S) and boron (B) for yield maximization of mustard. There were 16 treatment combinations comprising four levels each of S (S0= 0, S1=10, S2= 20 and S3= 30 kg S ha-1) and B (B0= 0, B1= 1, B2= 2 and B3= 3 kg B ha-1). It was replicated thrice in a randomized complete block design. Results showed that the combination of S and B (20 kg S ha-1 and 3 kg B ha-1) contributed positively for better performance of yield contributing characters of mustard. The combination S2B3 (20 kg S ha-1 and 3 kg B ha-1) produced the highest grain yield (2180 kg ha-1) followed by S3B2 and S3B3 treatment combination. The highest protein and oil content of mustard were recorded from S3B3 (30 kg S ha-1 and 3 kg B ha-1) treatment followed by S2B3 treatment combination. Therefore, the combination of S and B (20 kg S ha-1 and 3 kg B ha-1) might be suitable dose for cultivation of mustard in tejgaon series soils under agro-ecological zone of 28 (Madhupur Tract) Bangladesh.Bangladesh J.

An experiment was conducted at the research field of Horticulture Research Centre, BARI, Gazipur during Rabi season of 2012-13 to 2014-15 to evaluate the response of different doses of N, P and K on the yield and yield attributes of chrysanthemum (var. BARI Chrysanthemum-1) and to find out the optimum and economic doses of NPK for maximizing yield of chrysanthemum. Treatments comprising four levels each of N (0, 100, 150 and 200 kg ha-1), P (0, 50, 75 and 100 kg ha-1) and K (0, 90, 135 and 180 kg ha-1) along with blanket dose of 2 kg B and 4 kg Zn ha-1 were used. The treatments were assigned in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The combined effect of NPK significantly increased yield and yield attributes of chrysanthemum for each of the yearly experiments as well as the average of three years results. Significantly, the highest flower yield (12.45, 11.47 and 11.96 t/ha) was obtained with the application of N150P75K135 kg ha-1 (T3) along with blanket dose of 2 kg B and 4 kg Zn ha-1 for the years of 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15, respectively and it was statistically identical with T4 (N200P75K135 kg ha-1) treatment. Application of 150 kg N, 75 kg P and 135 kg K increased yield by 52.76, 42.29 and 36.51%, 152.08, 126.23 and 99.13% and 88.35, 51.30 and 60.75%, respectively, over their control in respect to the years. The highest benefit-cost ratio 5.54 followed by 5.14 was obtained from T3 (N150P75K135 kg ha-1) followed by T4 treatment, respectively. From the quadratic regression equation averaging three years data the optimum and economic doses 155 and 151.8 kg N, 79.3 and 77.68 kg P and 118.75 and 115.7 kg K, respectively were found which could be recommended for chrysanthemum production in Grey Terrace Soil of Joydebpur under AEZ 28.The Agriculturists 2017; 15(1) 58-67

Field trial on chilli (cv. Bogra local) was conducted in Grey Terrace Soil under AEZ-25 (Level Barind Tract) at Spice Research Centre, Bogra during rabi seasons of 2005-2006, 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. The objectives were to evaluate the response of chilli to zinc and boron and to find out the optimum dose of zinc and boron for maximizing the yield. Treatments for this study comprised of four levels each of zinc (0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5 kg/ha) and boron (0, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 kg/ha) along with a blanket dose of N130 P60 K80 S20 Mg10 kg/ha. The experiment was set up in a randomized block design (factorial) with 3 replications. The integrated use of zinc and boron was found superior to their single applications. The interaction effect between zinc and boron was significant in case of yield of dry chilli and weight of ripe chilli/plant. The highest yield (1138 kg/ha) was recorded from Zn3B1 kg/ha, which was closely followed by Zn3B2, Zn4.5B2 and the lowest (703 kg/ha) in control (Zn0B0). The yield benefit over control varied from 4.4 to 61.9 % due to interaction effect. Consecutive three years studies showed almost similar trend of results. However, from regression analysis, the optimum-economic dose of zinc was found to be 3.91 kg/ha whereas it was 1.70 for boron. Hence, a package of (Zn3.91 B1.70 kg/ha) along with the said blanket dose may be recommended for maximizing the yield of chilli in the study area. Bangladesh J. Agril.

BARI Marigold-1) to different doses of N, P and K fertilizers and to find out the optimum and economic doses of NPK for maximizing flower yield. Eleven treatments as T1, T2, T3, ……,T10 and T11 comprising with four levels of fertilizer nutrients each of N (0, 60, 90 and 120 kg ha-1), P (0, 30, 40 and 50 kg ha-1) and K (0, 60, 90 and 120 kg ha-1) along with a blanket dose of 2 kg B and 4 kg Zn ha-1. The experiment was conducted assigning the treatments in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Flower yield and yield attributes of marigold significantly increased with NPK fertilizer for all three years. The significantly highest flower yield (22.25, 27.38 and 25.15 ton ha-1) was obtained from T3 treatment applying the nutrients N90P40K90 kg ha-1 along with blanket dose of 2 Kg B and 4 kg Zn ha-1 for the years 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15, respectively which was statistically identical with T4 treatment (N120P40K90 kg ha-1) for the year 2012-13, but significantly different from all other treatments for the years 2013-14 and 2014-15, respectively. Flower yields were increased in T3 treatment (N90P40K90 kg ha-1) by 81.34, 62.53 and 49.53%; 146.00, 119.39 and 108.84% and 121.20, 92.13 and 84.11% over their control in respect to the years 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15. The highest benefit-cost ratio 7.14 was obtained from T3 (N90P40K90 kg ha-1) followed by T4 (6.53) treatment. From the quadratic regression equation averaging three years data the optimum and economic doses 103.75 and 102.44 kg N; 36.67 and 36.31 kg P and 90.10 and 88.43 kg K, respectively were found which could be recommended for marigold production in Grey Terrace Soil of Joydebpur under AEZ 28.The Agriculturists 2017; 15(1) 101-109

Experiments were carried out at the research field of Horticulture Research Centre, BARI, Joydebpur during kharif seasons of 2010 and 2011 to find out the requirement of N, P, K, and S application for obtaining higher yield of bitter gourd (var. BARI Karola-1). There were 14 treatment combinations comprising four levels each of N (0, 90, 20,150 kg/ha), P (0, 20, 40, 60 kg/ha), K (0, 40, 80, 120 kg/ha), and S (0, 20, 30, 40 kg/ha). A blanket dose of 2 kg B, 4 kg Zn, and 5 ton cowdung/ha was used. The maximum fruits/plant, fruit size, and single fruit weight and yield of bitter gourd was achieved from the treatment N120 P40 K80 S30 kg/ha and the lowest from the control treatment. The yield benefit for the best treatment over the control was 208% in 2010 and 137% in 2011. Response to N and P was more pronounced in comparison to K and S. The yield increased linearly with increasing rates of N up to 120 kg/ha, P up to 40 kg/ha, K up to 80 kg/ha, and S up to 30 kg/ha and thereafter decreased. The highest gross margin (Tk. 486867/ha) and marginal rate of return (8083%) was also obtained from the same treatment. Overall results reveal that application of N120 P40 K80 S30 kg/ha along with a blanket dose of 2 kg B, 4 kg Zn and 5 ton cowdung/ha appears to be the best treatment for maximizing the yield of bitter gourd in Grey Terrace Soil (AEZ-28) of Joydebpur.

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 in the research field of Pulses Research Sub-Station, BARI, Gazipur during two consecutive years of 2015-16 and 2016-17 to determine the suitable dose of potassium for achieving higher yield attributes, nodulation, nutrient concentration and yield maximization of lentil. There were 5 treatments viz. T1 = Control, T2 = 30 kg K ha-1, T3= 40 kg K ha-1, T4= 50 kg K ha-1 and T5= 60 kg K ha-1 along with the blanket dose of fertilizers of N, P, S, Zn and B @ 15, 20, 10, 2 and 1.5 kg ha-1, respectively for all treatments. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Results revealed that the highest seed yield (1092 kg ha-1) of lentil (mean of two years) was found in T4 followed by T5 treatment and the lowest (736 kg ha-1) was noted in K control (T1) treatment. The highest % yield increase over control (48.3%) was recorded from T4 treatment. The maximum nodulation was found in T5 followed by T4 treatment. The highest protein (26.9%), N, P, K, S, Zn and B concentrations of lentil seed were recorded in T4 treatment. Therefore, the results suggest that the appliction of 50 kg K ha-1 along with N15P20S10Zn2B1.5 kg ha-1 are optimum for achieving higher yield potential of lentil in terrace soils of Bangladesh.
