A field experiment was conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ishurdi, Pabna during the growing season of 2013-14 with eighteen hybrid lines of pointed gourd and BARI Hybrid Patal -1 as check to observe their performances for yield, yield attributes and other morphological characters. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. The maximum vine length (242.00 cm) and nodes/plant (18.30) was recorded from PG018xM2. Shoots/plant ranged from 12.50 (PG027xM2) to 4.66 (PG008 M1). The maximum number of fruits/plant (160.00) was obtained from PG009xM2 followed by PG012xM1 (154.66). Individual fruit weight was recorded highest (50.10 g) in PG027xM2, which was very close to PG008xM2 (48.00) and PG018xM2 (47.00 g). Weight of fruits/plant ranged from PG009xM2 (6.86 kg) to PG022xM1 (3.01 kg). The highest pulp weight was recorded in PG027xM2 (44.20 g) which was statistically similar to PG008xM2 (42.20 g). Three different leaf colour (light green, green and deep green), two types of leaf tip (pointed and blunt) and four types of leaf margin (slightly serrated, serrated, entire and undulated) were found among the hybrid lines. Four fruit colour (whitish, light green, green and dark green), four fruit stripes (no stripe, white, green white and light green) and three types of fruit curvature (slightly curved, curved and straight) were observed in different lines. The line PG009xM2 showed better performance in respect of fruits/plant and weight of fruits/plant and thus gave the highest yield (45.74 t/ha). The lines PG008xM2, PG007xM2, PG017xM2, PG027xM2 and PG014xM1 also produced better yield (39.23 - 35.58 t/ha). Therefore, the lines PG014xM1, PG007xM2, PG008xM2, PG009xM2 and PG017xM2 should be subjected for further evaluation to release as variety.Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 43(3): 383-393, September 2018

The genetic diversity among 64 pointed gourd genotypes were assessed through multivariate analysis from an experiment conducted in Regional Agricultural Research Station, lshurdi, Pabna during the growing season 2002-2003. The genotypes were grouped into twelve clusters. The cluster V consisted of highest number of genotypes and it was nine, the cluster VI and cluster VIII contained the lowest number of genotypes and it was two in each. The clustering pattern of the genotypes under this study revealed that the genotypes collected from the same location were grouped into different clusters. The genotypes of Jessore were distributed in different clusters. The highest inter genotype distance as 366.3 observed between the genotypes P0022 and P0007 and the lowest 2.6 as observed between the genotypes P0043 and P0044. Cluster V had the highest cluster mean value for internode length, fruit weight per plant and yield the highest inter-cluster distance was noticed between cluster III and II (45.71) and the lowest between cluster VII and VI (3.33). ‘The highest intra cluster distance was computed for cluster III and that was lowest for the cluster II. The first five axes accounted for 77.65% of the total variation among the 13 characters describing 64 pointed gourd genotypes. Fruit weight, seeds per fruit and fruit weight per plant contributed maximum to the total divergence. The results obtained by D2 analysis were confirmed by canonical analysis.

An experiment was carried out at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, BARI, Ishurdi, Pabna during 2013-15, with eleven genotypes of plantain to evaluate their performances for yield attributes, yield and quality characters. The genotypes included in this investigation were MP001, MP002, MP003, MP006, MP007, MP015, MP018, MP024, MP025, ISD002 and BARI Kola-2 as check. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. The genotype MP002 produced the maximum number of fingers/bunch (105.67) closely followed by BARI Kola-2 (103.00) and MP015 (101.00). Both the genotypes MP024 and MP025 showed the highest fruit length (21.70 cm), but ISD002 gave the maximum fruit girth (16.78 cm), which was statistically similar with that of MP003 (16.30 cm) and MP024 (16.33 cm). The highest yield and the maximum number of hands were produced by the genotype MP024 (47.81 t/ha and (8.33/bunch) followed by MP015 (36.70 t/ha and 6.33/bunch). Fingers of the genotypes required boiling time in the range of 20.00 min (MP001) to 15.00 min (BARI Kola-2). Flesh of all genotypes possesses pleasant aroma except MP002, MP003 and ISD002. Among the eleven genotypes MP001, MP006, MP007, MP008, MP015 and MP024 were found better when cooked as smashed. The genotype ISD002 took the maximum time (467.33 days) to reach the edible maturity stage of fruits whereas MP024 required the minimum (339.00 days). The genotypes MP015 and MP024 performed better than BARI Kola-2 in respect of bunch weight, fruit size, productivity index, yield, sucker production and qualitative characters.Bangladesh J. Agril.

Field experiments were conducted during kharif 2013 and 2014 at Agricultural Research Station, Mugad, University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS), Dharwad (Karnataka), to determine the response of zinc applicationon on growth, zinc content and grain yield of rice genotypes and also studied correlation between yield and zinc content. The experiment was comprised of 20 genotypes and three treatments viz., T1: Control (no zinc); T2: Soil application of ZnSO4 (20 kg ha-1) T3– Foliar Spray of ZnSO4 @ 0.5% at 50% flowering, laid out in factorial randomized block design with two replications. The data revealed that application of ZnSO4 recorded significantly higher plant height (85.9 cm), leaf area (764.5 cm-2 plant-1), number of tillers (95.4 m-1), total dry weight (26.1 g plant-1), panicle weight(15.3 g plant-1), number of panicles (81.6 m-1) and grain yield(3966 kg ha-1) over the foliar application of Zn and control . However number of grains panicle-1 (97.8 panicle-1), test weight (23.7 g), shoot and seed zinc content (15.9 and 21.2 ppm, respectively) were increased with foliar application of Zn. Correlation studies classified the genotypes as high seed zinc content (> 21 ppm) and low seed zinc content genotypes ( less than 21 ppm). High and low seed zinc content genotypes showed negative correlation with yield and yield attributes. However, shoot zinc content was positively correlated with yield.

The experiment was aimed at assessing the effect of zinc solubilizing isolates on the available zinc content, growth and yield attributes of paddy. The study was conducted using a randomized block design at the experimental plots of Agricultural Research Station, Dhadesugur. The isolates namely MZSB 6 and MZSB 8 were tested for in vitro solubilization of the zinc and later brought under field condition. 25-day-old paddy seedlings were dipped in lignite based biofertilizer slurry and transplanted according to treatments. Data on growth and yield parameters of paddy were taken at regular intervals of 30 DAT, 60 DAT and 90 DAT and available plant zinc content were estimated using the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. Growth and yield parameters of paddy showed a significant increase in the treatment that received combination of MZSB 6, MZSB 8 and 75% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) as compared to control and other treatments. Results also showed the highest available zinc of 46.18 mg kg-1 of plant estimated using the ICP-MS. Thus, the results revealed that the combination of both isolates with 75% RDF was found to be efficient in enhancing growth and yield of paddy.

A field experiment on French bean taking the variety BARI Jhar Shim-2 was conducted with five levels of Nitrogen (0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 kg N ha-1) and four levels of each of phosphorous (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg P2O5 ha-1), potassium (0, 30, 60 and 90 kg K2O ha-1) and sulfur (0, 10, 20 and 30 kg S ha-1), three levels of each of zinc (0, 4 and 8 kg Zn ha-1) and boron (0, 1 and 1.5 kg B ha-1) at the Agricultural Research Station, Raikhali, Rangamati Hill District during Rabi (winter) seasons of 2005-2006 and 2006-2007. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Yield and yield components of French bean were significantly influenced by different fertilizer treatments containing macro and micronutrients separately. Results showed significant effect of fertilizers on plant height, number of branches and leaves per plant, pod length, number of green pods and pod weight per plant and green pod yield during both years. The highest pod yield of 23.14 t ha-1 (average of 2005-2006 and 2006-2007) was obtained with 120-120-60-20-4-1 kg of N-P2O5-K2O-S-Zn-B plus 0.5 kg Mo ha-1 along with 10 tons cowdung per hectare that was closely followed by 120-80-60-20-4-1 kg of N-P2O5-K2O-S-Zn-B plus 0.5 kg Mo ha-1 along with 10 tons cowdung per hectare. The response equations indicated an optimum level of 138.6 kg N, 131.5 kg P2O5, 63.4 kg K2O and 17.4 kg S ha-1 for higher green fruit yield of French bean. The economic doses of nutrients came out to be 135.8-123.3-60-17.4 kg of N-P2O5-K2O-S ha-1. Application of 136-123-60-17-4-1 kg N-P2O5-K2O-S-Zn-B plus 0.5 kg Mo ha-1 along with 10 tons cowdung per hectare might be considered as profitable dose for growing French bean in South-Eastern hilly region of Bangladesh.

The aim of present investigation was to study the effect of foliar application of gibberellic acid (Progibb 40% WSG) spraying at 4-5 leaves stage of the maize crop. Two field experiments were conducted during kharif 2014 and rabi 2014-15 at Research Farm, Zonal Agricultural Research Station, Jhabua. Seven treatments (T = 20, T 30, T 40, T 50 T 60 gibberellic acid g/ha, Tricontanol 1 2= 3= 4 = 5= 0.1%= 250 ml/ha and control) were tested in randomized block design with three replications. Results showed that variation in different doses of gibberellic acid had significant effect on growth character (plant height and silking) and yield attributes (no. of cobs/plant, cob length, no. of grains/cob and cob weight/cob); grain yield and stover yield of maize in both the seasons. Higher values of plant height (197.33 and 205.5 cm) and silking (53.67 and 54.67) was recorded with the spraying of gibberellic acid @ 60 g/ha in both the seasons, respectively. Similarly the higher yield attributes viz., no. of cobs/plant (1.48 and 1.49), cob length (17.40 and 17.78 cm), no. of grains/cob (443.33 and 456.67) and cob weight/cob (93.2 and 97.32) were recorded with the application of gibberellic acid @ 50 g/ha in both the seasons, respectively. Application of gibberellic acid @ 50 g/ha produced highest grain yield (3522 and 4277 kg/ha) and stover yield (51.05 and 5413 kg/ha) which was statistically at par with doses of 40 g/ha, 60 g/ha and tricontanol 0.1% @ 250 ml. The maximum gross return (Rs. 56,347 and 65,854), net return (37,722 and 47,229), B: C ratio (3.03 and 3.54), production efficiency (32.49 and 37.19 kg/ha/day) and economic efficiency (339.84 and 410.69 Rs./ha/day) recorded with gibberellic acid @ 50 g/ha. Enhancing of production, productivity and profitability of maize under Jhabua Hill of Madhya Pradesh gibberellic acid applied @ 50 g/ha at 4-5 leaf stage of crop.

The study was carried out at the field of Regional Pulses Research Station, Madaripur under Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) during Rabi season (winter) to evaluate the effect of different tillage practices on growth, yield attributes, nutrient uptake and yield of chickpea, and to compare between the zero tillage and tillage practice.The experiment was planned with five different tillage practices viz. Zero tillage (T1), Single tillage (T2), Two tillage (T3), Three tillage (T4) and Four tillage (T5), and it was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Blanket dose of fertilizers of N, P, K, S, Zn and B at 20, 21, 30, 10, 3 and 1.5 kg ha-1, respectively were used in all tillage treatments. The highest mean seed yield achieved (1395 kg ha-1) in zero tillage (T1) followed by four tillage (T5) practice. The maximum number of branches plant-1 and more number of pods plant-1 was recorded in zero tillage treatment. Nutrient content showed non-significant effect across most of the treatment. The highest nodulation and nutrient (N, P, K and S) uptake was also obtained from T1 treatment. Tillage practices exhibited positive effects on soil properties. The highest soil organic carbon, total N, available P, K, S, Ca, Mg, Zn and B were found in zero tillage (T1). Based on profitability, the zero tillage was economically viable with compared to tillage practice. Although this practice (T1) saves the money about 3.8% to 13.7% and time also saves minimum 8 days for succeeding crops. So, the present study suggests that zero tillage practice could be implemented in the high and medium high land for chickpea cultivation. Low income farmers may practice the zero tillage technology. Future research should be carried out to evaluate the suitable rate of nutrient in zero tillage (conservative tillage) practice for yield maximization of chickpea and sustaining soil fertility.

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of different herbicides for controlling wild onion (Asphodelus tenuifolius) in cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) during the rabi seasons (2018–2019 and 2019–2020) at Agricultural Research Station, Agriculture University, Jodhpur, Rajasthan. The experiment comprised eight herbicidal weed management treatments for wild onion applied to cumin in a three-replication randomized block design. Among the herbicidal weed management treatments, early post-emergence (8 DAS) application of oxyfluorfen 200 g/ha resulted in the lowest weed density and dry matter of Asphodilus tenuifolius, with maximum weed (Asphodilus tenuifolius) control efficiency at 40 days after sowing (DAS) during both experimental years. Likewise, the highest total efficiency of weed control was recorded with the application of oxyfluorfen 200 g/ha at 8 DAS. Oxyflourfen 200 g/ha used early post emergence (8 DAS) reduced the weed index more effectively than the other herbicides. It also recorded the highest number of branches/plant, plant height, umbels/plant, umbellates/umbel, seeds/umbellates, and seed yield. However, application of oxyflourfen @ 200 g/ha 8 DAS–early POE and pendimethalin 38.7 CS 500 g/ha + oxyfluorfen @ 150 g/ha 8 DAS–early POE were statistically similar in terms of plant growth, yield, and yield attributes. The net returns (366.49 USD/ha in 2018–2019 and 175.72 USD/ha in 2019–2020) and B:C ratio (1.70 and 1.33 in 2018–2019 and 2019–2020, respectively) were also superior, with oxyfluorfen 200 g/ha applied early post emergence.
