A field experiment was conducted at the research field of Sher-e- Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from December 1, 2016 to January 11, 2017 to investigate the effect of gibberellic acid (GA3) on vegetative growth, morphological attributes and foliage (leaf) yield of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.). The experimental treatments consisted of eight different doses of GA3 viz., 0 (distilled water spray), 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 ppm. The variety Rosina (Pahuja Co., India) was used as planting material and different doses of GA3 were applied on the plants at 25 and 30 days after sowing. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. GA3 had significant effect on vegetative growth, morphology, foliage yield and yield contributing characters of coriander. Plant height, number of leaves plant-1, leaf length, plant spread and single plant weight were found maximum from the application of GA3 at 20 ppm, which was closely followed by 25 ppm GA3. Application of GA3 at 20 ppm produced the highest weight of foliage m-2. A strong positive correlation of foliage yield was observed with plant height, number of leaves plant-1, leaf length, plant spread, single plant weight and weight of foliage m-2. Application of GA3 at 20 ppm gave maximum foliage yield (9.34 t ha-1) which was followed by GA3 at 15 ppm (8.46 t ha-1) and 25 ppm (8.06 t ha-1), and the minimum foliage yield was recorded from control (distilled water spray) (4.90 t ha-1). Application of GA3 at 20 ppm increased foliage yield over control by 47.54 %. A quadratic relationship between applied GA3 concentration and foliage yield was found; the regression equation was y = 4.87 + 0.375x – 0.009x2 from which it came up to be optimum dose of GA3 as 20.83 ppm.Res.

Abstract The research addressed the effect of gibberellic acid (GA3) on growth and flowering of Ajania pacifica /Nakai/ Bremer et Humphries ‘Bea’. The vegetative growth lasted for 8 weeks in glasshouse, under natural long day and from August 15 - under natural short day. The plants were divided into four groups: 1 - the plants sprayed with distilled water (control combination); 2, 3 and 4 - the plants sprayed with GA3 ones, twice and thrice, respectively, starting from the 5th week of growth, and then in the 6th and 7th week, successively. Each of the group was divided into two subgroups: the first one treated with GA3 at concentration of 250 mg·dm-3 and the second with 500 mg·dm-3. It was observed that double spraying with GA3 accelerated the buds development of Ajania pacifica, thus shortened the cultivation time by about two days. Treatment with GA3 at concentration 500 mg·dm-3 stimulated the elongation of shoots more than treatment with GA3 at 250 mg·dm-3. The plants sprayed twice were longer than the control and then those sprayed one time. However, elongation of shoots was not remarkable; corymbs were shorter, narrower, and contained lesser number of inflorescences. The present study indicates the specificity of the response of Ajania pacifica to GA3 treatment, which appears to be different from other ornamental species.

A field experiment on coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) was conducted at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur during February 2009 to April 2009 to find out the optimum seed rate in relation to sowing methods for maximizing foliage yield of coriander. Four genotypes (CS001, CS002, CS003 and CS008) and three sowing methods (continuous line sowing spaced at 10 cm, 20 cm and broadcast method) and three levels of seed rate (30, 40 and 50 kg/ha) were used as treatment variables.. The result showed that genotype CS003 singly gave the maximum plant height, number of leaves/plant, single plant weight and plant weight/m2 and thus gave the highest foliage yield/ha. Line sowing (10 cm), broadcast method with seed rate @ 50 kg/ha independently produced the maximum foliage weight/m2 and foliage yield/ha. Line sowing (10 cm) with 50 kg/ha seed rate produced the highest foliage yield in case of CS001, CS002 and CS003 genotypes, which was closely followed by broadcast method and the same seed rate. But line sowing (10 cm) as well as broadcast method coupled with 40 kg/ha seed rate gave better foliage yield in genotype CS008. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjar.v38i3.16970 Bangladesh J. Agril.

Kale and catfish are the most popular vegetables and fish in Indonesia. The production of these two commodities can be done using an aquaponics system. This study aims to determine the growth of water spinach plants and the survival of catfish in the aquaponic system. Plant growth parameters were measured every three days which included plant height, leaf width, leaf length, number of leaves and plant weight after harvest. The development of catfish that was observed every three days included the number of dead catfish and the weight of catfish measured every nine days. The data obtained were then tabulated and processed in graphical form and analyzed descriptively. The results showed The growth rate of kale planted in the aquaponic system includes plant height, leaf length, and leaf width, respectively, 2.51 cm / three days, 0.75 cm / three days and 0.24 cm / three days, while in kale plants (control) 1.30 / three days, 0.5 cm / three days, and 0.12 cm / three days, respectively. The yield of water spinach planted with the aquaponics system weighed 350 grams / pot, while the control water spinach was only 135 grams / pot. During 30 days of maintenance there was an increase in weight of catfish as much as 11.25 grams / head with the survival rate (SR) of catfish seeds by 93%.

In this study, firstly different PEG 6000 concentrations (%5, %10, %15, %20) were applied to four different radish cultivars (black, white, big red, little radish) to determine germination and vegetative growth parameters under drought conditions. As germination parameter; germination percentage (%), germination time and vigor index were determined. After germination, number of leaves, shoot length (cm), root length (cm), leaf width (cm) leaf length (cm), stem diameter (mm), plant fresh and dry weights (g) were measured in germinated plants. Vegetative growth parameters decreased in %15 PEG6000 for white, black and red little radish cultivars and in %20 for big red radish cultivar, and these doses were determined as the threshold value for salicylic acid applications. In second step, in order to increase the drought tolerance of the cultivars, different doses of salicylic acid (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00 mM) were applied in addition to PEG6000 application. The effect of different doses of salicylic acid on germination and vegetative growth parameters of radish seeds under drought conditions varied depending on the cultivar, and it was determined that it caused a stimulatory effect on germination of the cultivars. Except for the large red radish cv, it has a positive effect on plant growth in general. It was found that SA doses applied in this cultivar had an inhibitory effect. 0.50 mM salicylic acid in black radish; 0.25 mM salicylic acid applications in white and little red radish provided positive results in terms of improving vegetative parameters at %15 PEG6000 concentration.

A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different planting time on the growth and yield of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) at the Germplasm Centre of Agrotechnology Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna, from September, 2016 to March, 2017. There were four planting times included in the experiment viz., T1: 15 October, T2: 15 November, T3: 15 December, and T4: 15 January. Data were collected on plant height (cm), number of leaves per plant, leaf length and breadth (cm), curd size (cm), individual plant weight (kg) and yield (t/ha). The tallest plant (81.20 cm), maximum number of leaves (23.60), leaf length (64.40 cm), leaf breadth (24.60 cm) and also curd length (19.80 cm) and breadth (18.00 cm) were recorded from the treatment T2 (November planting). The economic (67.08 t/ha) and biological yield (87.88 t/ha) were also found to be the highest in the treatment T2 (November planting) followed by the highest benefit cost ratio (2.15). Therefore, the planting of cauliflower could be done during November in Khulna region to ensure better growth and yield with better economic return. South Asian J. Agric., 7(1&2): 25-29
