Vermicompost has various positive effects on soil, particularly soil fertility and productivity. Two experiments were conducted at farmer’s field of Mymensingh and Jamalpur to observe the effect of vermicompost on cabbage production during rabi season 2019. There were seven compost treatments viz: T1:  RCF (N150 P40 K100 S16 Kg ha-1), T2: 85% RCF, T3: 70% RCF, T4: 85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 vermicompost (VC), T5: 85% RCF + 1 t ha-1 VC, T6: 70% RCF + 3 t ha-1 VC and T7: 70% RCF + 1 t ha-1 VC. The experiments were laid out in a RCBD (Randomized Complete Block Design) with three replications. The average fresh yield at Mymensingh ranged from 36.5 to 61.6 t ha-1 with the highest yield of 61.6 t ha-1 from treatment T4 (85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 VC). At Jamalpur, the average yield ranged from 33.5 to 55.2 t ha-1 and the highest yield of 55.2 t ha-1 was recorded from treatment T4 (85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 VC). The lowest yield was obtained from treatment T3 in both the location. The percent fresh yield increased over control (T1), was 22.70 and 20.78 in Mymensingh and Jamalpur, respectively. The highest gross margin is Tk. 829007/-, which is obtained from treatment T4 (85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 VC). The highest MBCR 2.76 (average of two locations) was obtained from the same treatment T4 (85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 VC). Result indicated that application of vermicompost along with 85% recommended dose of chemical fertilizer is more profitable than application of chemical composts only.

Organic fertilizer (OF) has positive effects on soil, especially soil fertility and productivity. Two experiments were conducted at the farmer’s field of Mymensingh and Jamalpur to observe the effect of organic fertilizer on cabbage production during rabi season 2018. There were seven fertilizer treatments viz: T1: RCF (N150 P40 K100 S16 Kg ha-1), T2: 85% RCF, T3: 70% RCF, T4: 85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 OF, T5: 85% RCF + 1 t ha-1 OF, T6: 70% RCF + 3 t ha-1 OF and T7: 70% RCF + 1 t ha-1 OF. The experiments were laid out in a RCBD (Randomized Complete Block Design) with three replications. The average fresh yield at Mymensingh ranged from 34.5 to 60.0 t ha-1 with the highest yield of 60.0 t ha-1 from treatment T4 (85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 OF). At Jamalpur, the average yield ranged from 31.5 to 56.3 t ha-1 and the highest yield of 56.3 t ha-1 was recorded from treatment T4 (85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 OF). The lowest yield was found from treatment T3 in both locations. The percent fresh yield increased over control (T1), was 42.85 and 40.04 in Mymensingh and Jamalpur, respectively. The highest gross margin is Tk. 534507, which was obtained from treatment T4 (85% RCF + 3 t ha-1 organic fertilizer). The highest MBCR 3.05 (average of two locations) was obtained from the same treatment T4 (85% RCF + 1 t ha-1 organic fertilizer). The result indicated that applying organic fertilizer and 85% recommended dose of chemical fertilizer is more profitable than applying chemical fertilizers only.

The experiment was conducted in medium highland at Dacope, Khulna during rabi season of 2010-11. The aim of the study was to observe the effect of integrated use of bio-slurry along with inorganic fertilizer on the performance of water melon grown in AEZ 13. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Three fertilizer doses viz. T1 : Soil test based inorganic fertilizer dose for high yield goal (HYG), T2 : Cowdung bio-slurry @ 5t/ha + IPNS basis inorganic fertilizer dose for high yield goal and T3 : Farmers’ practice (average of 20 farmers surveyed) were taken as treatment. Results showed that yield and yield contributing characters of water melon were significantly influenced by the treatments. The highest fruit yield (44.50 t/ha) was recorded in cowdung bio-slurry@ 5 t/ha + IPNS basis inorganic fertilizer dose (T2) followed by T1 (40.27 t/ha). The lowest yield (35.20 t/ha) was obtained from farmers’ practice. Economic analysis also revealed that the gross return (Tk. 534000.00/ha) and gross margin (Tk. 427515.00/ha) were higher in T2. Benefit-cost ratio (BCR) was also higher in T2 (5.01).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v6i2.22097 J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 6(2): 61-63 2013

Glycine Max L

A field experiment was conducted at Char Jangalia under MLT site, Laxmipur, a coastal district of southern Bangladesh, during Rabi season of 2015-16 to evaluate the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield performance of soybean (var. Glycine max L.). Six treatment combinations, viz. T1= Control, T2= Farmers practice (25-15 Kg NP ha-1, T3= 100% recommended dose (30-25-55 Kg NP ha-1, K), T4= 50 % recommended dose + 1.5 t ha-1 vermi compost, T5= 50 % recommended dose + 5 t ha-1compost and T6=50 % recommended dose + 1.2 kg ha-1 bio fertilizer were tested. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with 3 replications. There were significant differences among the different treatment combinations in terms of yield and yield contributing characters. Integrated nutrient management with application of 50% of the recommended doses of urea, TSP, MoP, and biofertilizer (Bradyrhizobium) at the rate of 1.2 kg ha-1 significantly increased most of the parameters, such as the plant height, number of nodule per plant, pods per plant, seeds per pod and seed yield. The highest seed yield (2.93 t ha-1) was recorded from T6 while the lowest seed yield (1.83 t ha-1) was obtained from T1. The highest gross return (Tk.117200 ha-1) and gross margin (Tk. 71840 ha-1) was obtained from T6, whereas the lowest gross return (Tk. 70400 ha-1) and gross margin (Tk.27880 ha-1) was obtained from T1. The overall results indicated that the application of integrated nutrient management of a combination of bio fertilizer with 50% N-P-K (15- 12.5-27.5 Kg ha-1) of the recommended dose produced the maximum nodulation and seed yield of soybean in the southern coastal char land.Bangladesh Agron.

An experiment was conducted to detect fertilizer doses in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botryitis, L. Family: Cruciferae) during rabi season of 2016-17. The location for the study was at the Multi location Testing (MLT) site, (medium highland under AEZ-03) Goneshpur of Shibganj upazilla under Bogura district. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with eight dispersed replications. There were eight nutrient packages viz. T1 = 100% NPKSZnB (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 = Control. The highest yield (42.11t ha-1) was obtained from the treatment T6 which was statistically similar with the rest treatments except T7 (35.89 t ha-1) and T8 (18.36 t ha-1). In case of gross margin, the highest value, (824607) was also obtained from the treatment T6 followed by T3, T1 and T4. The treatment T6 (T1+ 25% higher NPK), fertilizer management practices produced higher in terms of cauliflower yield, gross return, gross margin over the other treatments. Therefore, the result revealed that recommended fertilizer dose N138.25 P50 K143.75 s 4.5 Zn 3.22 B 0.51 Kg ha-1 was optimum for maximizing the yield as well as economically and environmentally viable for cauliflower cultivation in Bogura region.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the yield performance of potato varieties with chemical and organic fertilizer at Chilime, Rasuwa. The experiment consisted of eight treatment combinations laid out in two factors Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Four potato varieties (Khumal-Seto-1, Khumal-Ujjwal, Janak-Dev and Kufri-Jyoti) with fertilizer (Recommended dose of chemical fertilizer (100:100:60 NPK kg ha-1) and organic farmyard manure (15 mt ha-1) were used to make eight treatment combinations. The results showed that Janak-Dev had the highest plant height (69.3 cm) and canopy diameter (60.92 cm). Khumal-Seto-1 had highest number of main stems per hill (3.75) which were statistically similar to Kufri-Jyoti (3.42) and Khumal-Ujjwal (3.25). Janak-Dev had the lowest number of main stems per hill (1.87). The effect of fertilizer was nonsignificant. Flowering occurred earlier in Janak-Dev at 61.17 days after sowing while Kufri-Jyoti flowered after 73.17 days after sowing. The highest number of tubers were found in Khumal-Seto-1 (9.167) and lowest in Janak-Dev (5.750). Number of tubers per plant was not affected by types of fertilizers used. Maximum weight of each tuber (107.7 grams), yield per plant (780 grams) and yield per hectare (37.1 mt ha-1) were obtained from Kufri-Jyoti. These parameters were the highest from chemical fertilizer application. This field experiment showed that Kufri-Jyoti with recommended dose of chemical fertilizer was appropriate to get optimum yield under Chilime condition. SAARC J. Agric., 19(1): 103-112 (2021)

An experiment was conducted at the farmer’s field in Shibalaya upazilla of Manikganj district during rabi season of 2017to study the effectiveness of biochar on soil fertility and yields of brinjal and cauliflower. There were five treatments viz. control, recommended inorganic fertilizer (RF), biochar 1 t/ha + RF, biochar 3 t/ha + RF and biochar 5 t/ha + RF laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Data revealed that biochar at the rate of 5 t/ha along with RF provided maximum yields of brinjal (67 t/ha) and cauliflower (42 t/ha). The pH, nutrients and moisture contents of the study soils increased and bulk density decreased with the higher rates of biochar application. Significant changes were observed in the total organic carbon in soils which increased by 25 to 41% from the initial levels. Recovery, agronomic and physiological efficiencies of N, P, K and S were found the highest with the application of biochar 5 t/ha. In terms of soil fertility and crop productivity application of biochar was found promising and can be recommended as an effective soil management practice. The Agriculturists 2019; 17(1-2) 76-88

A field experiment was conducted at Regional Wheat Research Centre of the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Joydebpur, Gazipur for 2 consecutive years during 2006-07 and 2007-08. The objectives were to find out the optimum nutrient management practice on tuber yield, nutrient balance and economics of potato cultivation. Twelve nutrient management treatments were tested in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Treatments were T1=HYG (0-198-44-194-24-6-1.2), T2=MYG (0-140-34-138-18-4.5-0.9), T3=IPNS (10000-168-38-170-18-6-1.2), T4=STB (0-171-40-164-22-5-1), T5=FP (0-97-16-91-0-0-0), T6=CON (0-0-0-0-0-0-0), T7=HYG+CRI, T8=MYG+CRI, T9=IPNS+CRI, T10=STB+CRI, T11=FP+CRI, T12=CON+CRI kg ha-1 CDNPKSZnB for potato. The highest tuber yield of potato was obtained from STB+CRI (27.64 t ha-1) followed by IPNS+CRI (27.35 t ha-1), STB (27.10 t ha-1), IPNS (26.83 t ha-1), HYG+CRI (26.52 t ha-1) and HYG (26.10 t ha-1) in 2006- 07. Similar trend was found in 2007-08. The highest tuber yield and yield contributing parameters were noticed in CRI plots than without CRI. Except N, remaining nutrient balance like P K S Zn and B were found positive in case of HYG, MYG, IPNS and STB along with or without CRI nutrient managements. The balance was found almost negative in case of FP and CON. The highest BCR was observed in STB+CRI (3.96) followed by STB (3.93), IPNS+CRI (3.76), and IPNS (3.74). The higher gross return (Tk. 283331 ha-1) and also gross margin (Tk. 211761 ha-1) was observed from the same treatment. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjar.v39i4.22544 Bangladesh J. Agril.
