A field experiment was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University; Mymensingh during December 2012 to May 2013 to investigate the growth, yield and nutrient content of fifteen widely used boro rice cultivars of Bangladesh. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 15 cultivars having each cultivar replicated three times. The cultivars tested in this experiment were BRRI dhan28, BRRI dhan29, BRRI dhan45, BRRI dhan47, BRRI dhan50, BR 3, BR 6, BR 14, BR 15, BR 16, BINA dhan5, IRATOM 24, Bachi boro, Chola boro and Sada boro. BR 15, BRRI dhan29 and BRRI dhan28 were the three rice cultivars having high potentials for grain and straw production during boro season. The highest yield was recorded 5.26 t/ha which is still very low compared to other rice growing countries of the world. So there is plenty of scope to increase the yield. Chola boro and Sada bore are two local land races having potentials for producing higher number of effective tillers and higher 1000 grain weight. Sada boro and Chola boro, two local cultivars were found very high in grain nitrogen content compared to other test cultivars. These two cultivars could be a nice tool for rice breeder to develop high nitrogen content rice. Chola boro, IRATOM 24 and BR 14 are three high straw-K containing varieties having breeding potentials to make our future rice plant strong. Before using these cultivars for breeding, fine tuning of the research findings is required DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/ralf.v1i1.22352 Res. Agric., Livest. Fish.1(1): 19-25, Dec 2014

Balanced fertilization is a pre-requisite for better rice production and it is necessary to determine optimum combination of nutrient elements for application. An experiment was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during Boro season to investigate the effects of reduced rates of phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S) on the growth, yield, nutrient content and uptake by rice. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications and eight treatments viz. T1: Control, T2: Recommended Fertilizer Dose (RFD), T3: RFD -20% P, T4: RFD-40% P, T5: RFD-20% S, T6: RFD-40% S, T7: RFD-20% PS and T8: RFD-40% PS. The recommended fertilizer doses were 125 kg N ha-1, 25 kg P ha-1, 70 kg K ha-1, 15 kg S ha-1 and 3 kg Zn ha-1 supplied from urea, TSP, MoP, gypsum and zinc sulphate, respectively. There was significant effect of reduced rates of P and S fertilizers on rice yield compared to control. The highest grain yield of 5.10 t ha-1 and straw yield of 7.02 t ha-1 were recorded from treatment T2 (RFD) that produced the maximum values of all the yield components and the highest content and uptake of nutrients. The performance of T2 and T3 (RFD - 20% P) was statistically similar in producing yield parameters, yields, nutrient contents and uptake by rice. Again, 20% reduced rate of S (T5) or of P and S (T7) caused significant yield reduction, poor yield parameters and less nutrient uptake compared to T2. Thus, the recommended fertilizer dose and the treatments where 20% P was reduced from the RFD are equally efficient in increasing yield as well as enhancing nutritional quality of rice. This reduction of chemical fertilizer could help lessen the cost of rice production with decreasing environmental risk. Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. March 2021, 7(1): 40-47

Cotton seed oilcake and mustard oilcake are excellent and high quality organic manures enriched with essential nutrient elements. A field experiment was carried out at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during boro season of 2019 to investigate the influence of cotton seed oilcake and mustard oilcake on yield attributes, yield, nutrient content and uptake by rice cv. BRRI dhan29. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications and seven treatments viz. T1: control, T2: 100% Recommended Fertilizer Dose (RFD), T3: 50% RFD, T4: 50% nitrogen (N) from RFD + 50% N from cotton seed oilcake, T5: 50% N from RFD + 50% N from mustard oilcake, T6: 50% N from RFD + 25% N from cotton seed oilcake + 25% N from mustard oilcake, T7: 50% N from cotton seed oilcake + 50% N from mustard oilcake. The maximum values of all the yield components viz. plant height, panicle length, number of effective tillers hill-1 and filled grains panicle-1 and yields (grain and straw) were found in treatment T2. The highest content and uptake of nutrients – N, P, K and S were also recorded in T2. The performance of T4 and T2 was statistically similar in producing yield parameters, grain and straw yields, nutrient contents and uptake by rice. Among the integrated approaches, the performance of T4 was the best as it produced the second highest grain yield of 6.24 t ha-1 and straw yield of 8.17 t ha-1 with higher nutritional improvement of rice. Application of cotton seed oilcake compensated up to 50% of chemical fertilizer. Therefore, considering the significance of organic manures and soil health, cotton seed oilcake should be considered for application in association with chemical fertilizers for yield enhancement and nutritional improvement of rice.

A field experiment was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh during January to May 2015 to study the response of soybean to Bradyrhizobium biofertilizer under different levels of phosphorus on growth, yield, nutrient content and uptake by soybean. The experiment was laid out in a randomize complete block design with three replication of each treatment. The treatments were: To = Control, T1=(100% Nitrogen), T2=(Bradyrhizobium), T3=(Bradyrhizobium inoculation+75% P), T4=(Bradyrhizobium inoculation+10 P), T5=Bradyrhizobium+125% P), T6=(100% RFD+Bradyrhizobium). Potassium and Sulphur at recommended dose were applied as basal to all the treatments. Urea was applied in three spits. Phosphorus in the form of TSP was applied as per treatment during final land preparation. Soybean seeds were inoculated with Bradyrhizobium as per treatments. Intercultural operations were done as and when necessary. Data were collected on pods weight, grain and stover yields. The N and P contents in grain stover and total N and P uptake by soybean were determined. Inoculation of seeds with Bradyrhizobium and application of N and P fertilizer at recommended dose recorded the highest grain and straw yields of soybean. The results suggest that soybean cultivation can effectively be done in the Old Brahmaputra Floodplain soils by Inoculating with Bradyrhizobium biofertilizer in combination with recommended dose of N, P, K and fertilizer.Progressive Agriculture 28 (4): 302-315, 2017

Moringa is a valuable plant whose leaves are enriched with antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins and mineral nutrients and can be used as a bio-stimulant. A field work was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh, during rabi season from November 2017 to February 2018 in order to investigate the effect of moringa leaf extract (MLE) on growth, yield and nutrient status of cabbage. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with four treatments and three replications. The treatments were T1 (control), T2 (MLE) sprayed at 2 weeks after transplanting only], T3 (MLE sprayed at 2 weeks and 4 weeks after transplanting), T4(MLE sprayed at 2 weeks after transplanting and after every two weeks thereafter). The rate of MLE application was 25 mL plant-1. All the treatments received recommended dose of N, P, K, S, Zn and B fertilizers. The application of MLE significantly improved the growth parameters, yield and yield contributing characters as well as nutrient content and uptake of cabbage. Among the parameters plant height (33.40 cm), leaf number (19.33 cm), length of the largest leaf (29.00 cm), head thickness (9.67 cm), head diameter (20.33 cm), gross yield (72.83 t ha-1) and marketable yield (48.87 t ha-1), were maximum in T4 where MLE was sprayed at 2 weeks after transplanting and after every two weeks thereafter. The lowest values of all these parameters were found in T1 where no MLE was sprayed. Foliar application of MLE also improved the concentration and uptake of macronutrients (N, P, K and S) in head of cabbage. Thus, application of MLE as a bio-stimulant has the potentiality to enhance growth, yield and nutritional quality of cabbage. Asian J. Med. Biol. Res. June 2020, 6(2): 196-203

An experiment was conducted in field condition to study the effect of nitrogen-phosphorus fertilization on growth, yield and nutrient content of cabbage. The experiment was laid out in randomize block design with three replications. The yield and yield components were maximized by N3P2 fertilizer treatment. Nutrient content of cabbage varied with fertilizer treatment. The maximum amount of reducing sugar, ascorbic acid, phosphorus were found at the highest rate of N - P fertilization whereas accumulation of titrable acidity, iron, calcium were maximum at the rate of N2P2 treatment. However pH, ash content were more or less same throughout the experiment. Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 41(1-2), 41-46, 2006

The experiment was carried out at Sunamganj district during November 2016 to May 2017 to observed the effect of urea fertilizer on the yield of boro rice varieties in haor areas of Bangladesh. Two factors experiment viz. Varieties BRRI dhan29 and BRRI dhan58; and six urea fertilizer levels including: 340 (F1), 320 (F2), 300 (F3), 280 (F4), 260 (F5), and 165 kg ha-1 (F6) [Farmer’s practice (FP)] were used. In case of F1-F5, the MoP-TSP-CaS04-ZnS04 as 127-112-75-11 kg ha-1 were used while Farmers’ practice (FP) was done with only 82 kg ha-1 TSP. The experiment was laid out in two factors randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three farmers’ replications. Data were collected on growth, yield and yield contributing characters of boro rice. Plant height varied at harvest stage in relation to variety and fertilizer. The tillers production hill-1 varied at harvest in case of variety and urea application. Higher plant height was found in BRRI dhan58 (93.9 cm) in comparison to BRRI dhan29 (90.3 cm). Plant height was also influenced due to urea fertilizers application. The higher tillers hill-1 (15.9), effective tillers hill-1 (12.3) and longer panicle length (21.1 cm) were produced by BRRI dhan58 at harvest compared to BRRI dhan29. The longest panicle (21.4 cm) was produced in the treatment F3 (300 kg urea ha-1). Higher number of sterile spikelets panicle-1 (58.5) and 1000-grain weight (23.2 g) was produced by BRRI dhan58. Higher number of grains panicle-1 (137.5) was produced by BRRI dhan29. The highest grain yield (6.7 t ha-1) and straw yield (7.91 t ha-1) were obtained in the treatment F3 (300 kg urea ha-1). The experimental soil analyses showed that the nutrient contents in post-harvest soils were higher compared to initial soil due to balanced fertilizer application. It is concluded that 300 kg urea ha-1 promoted highest grain yield.

The effect of municipal solid waste compost, fertilizers, Rhizobium and flora on the growth and yield of wheat was studied through a field experiment at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. The soil was silty loam in texture having pH 6.94, organic matter 1.62%, total nitrogen 0.067%, available phosphorus 10.45 ppm, exchangeable K 0.08 me/100g soil, available sulphur 12.00 ppm and cation exchange capacity 15.0 me/100g soil. There were seven treatments such as T0 = control, T1 = 100% recommended doses of fertilizer (RDF), T2 = 100% RDF + compost @ 3.5 t ha-1, T3 = 100% RDF + compost @ 3.5 t ha-1 + Rhizobium, T4 = 75% RDF + 25% N based compost, T5 = 75% RDF + 25% N based compost + Rhizobium, T6 = 100% RDF + Flora. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, zinc and boron were applied as basal dose from TSP, MOP, gypsum, zinc sulphate and boric acid @ 30 kg P, 135 kg K, 15 kg S, 2 kg Zn and 1 kg B, respectively. Nitrogen as urea was used @100 kg ha-1 for the respective treatments. For T3 and T5, the seeds were inoculated with Rhizobial strains. The plants were harvested at maturity and the grain and straw yields were recorded. Wheat grain and straw samples were collected and analyzed for N,P,K and S. The nutrient uptake of wheat calculated. Application of municipal solid waste compost, fertilizers, Rhizobium and flora increased the N and S content both in grain and straw of wheat but decreased the P content as compared to control. The K content in wheat straw increased with different treatments but the effect was reverse in case of wheat grain. The N,P,K,and S uptake of wheat grain and straw as well as the total uptake increased significantly with all the treatments over control.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v6i1.22039 J. Environ.

A study was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during Boro season of 2014 to evaluate the effect of integrated use of manures and fertilizers for maximizing the growth and yield of BRRI dhan28. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with six treatments and four replications. The treatments include T0 [Control], T1 [Soil Test Basis-Chemical Fertilizer], T2 [(Cowdung) + STB-CF] on IPNS basis, T3 [(Poultry Manure) + STB-CF] on IPNS basis, T4 [(Compost) + STB-CF] on IPNS basis, and T5 [Farmer’s practice]. The maximum grain yield of 4340 kg ha-1 (95.59% increase over control) and straw yield of 4024 kg ha-1 (56.42% increase over control) were recorded in T3 [ (PM) + STB-CF]. The lowest grain and straw yields were found for T0 (Control) treatment. The N, P, K and S contents and uptake by BRRI dhan28 were profoundly influenced due to combined application of manures and fertilizers. The performance of the treatment T3 was better than T1, T2 and T4 in producing the yield of grain and straw of BRRI dhan28 although they received the same amount of nutrients. The results indicate that application of fertilizers in combination with poultry manure could be considered more effective in rice production. So, the treatment T3 can be used for the successful cultivation of BRRI dhan28.Res. Agric., Livest. Fish.3(1): 99-104, April 2016

An experiment was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during November 2011 to March 2012 to evaluate the effect of integrated use of manures and fertilizers on the growth, yield and nutrient uptake by wheat. There were six treatments such as T0 (Control), T1 [STB-CF (HYG)], T2 [CD + STB-CF (HYG)], T3 [PM + STB-CF (HYG)], T4 [COM + STB-CF (COM)] and T5 [FP (Farmers’ practice)]. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications. The integrated use of manures and fertilizers significantly influenced the yield attributes as well as grain and straw yields of wheat. The treatment T1 [STB-CF (HYG)] produced the tallest plant of 90.17 cm which was identical with T3 [PM + STB-CF (HYG)] and the lowest value was found in control. The 1000-grain weight followed the similar pattern but the tillers hill-1, spike length and spikelets spike-1 did not follow any definite trend. The treatment T3 [PM + STB-CF (HYG)] produced the highest grain yield of 4362 kg ha-1 (90.4% increase over control) and straw yield of 5492 kg ha-1 (84.79% increase over control). The lowest grain yield (2291 kg ha-1) and straw yield (2972 kg ha-1) were found in T0 (Control). The NPKS uptake by wheat was markedly influenced by combined use of manures and fertilizers and the treatment T3 demonstrated superior performance to other treatments. So the treatment T3 comprising poultry manure in combination with chemical fertilizers on IPNS basis was found to be the best combination of manures and fertilizers for obtaining the maximum yield and quality of wheat at BAU farm.
