    EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT SOURCES OF PHOSPHORUS ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF BRRI DHAN29
    (BANGLADESH JOURNAL OF PROGRESSIVE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY, 2014-07) Robbani, MG; Hoque, MA; Huda, A; Bir, MSH; Haque, MM; Uddin, MJ
    An experiment was carried out at Mymensingh during the period from February to June 2011 to study the effects of different sources of phosphorus on the growth and yield of BRRI dhan29. The experiment was designed with six treatments and laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The treatment combinations were TO: control (No P), T1 : 100% P from Triple super phosphate (TSP), T2 : 100% P from Di ammonium phosphate (DAP), T3 : 100% P from compost, T4 : 50% P from TSP + 50% P from compost T5 : 50% P from DAP + 50% P from compost. All the plots received P from different sources @ 25 kg ha-1 except control. Application of different sources of P resulted in a significant increase in yield contributing characters of BRRI dhan29. The effect of DAP was more pronounced than that of TSP or compost. Application of P also significantly increased the grain and straw yields of rice. The highest grain (5.19 ha-1) and straw (7.11 t ha-1) yields were observed by the addition of P from DAP while the lowest grain (3.95 t ha -1) and straw (4.20 t ha-1) yields were observed in control treatment where no P fertilizers were added. Results also indicate that application of DAP caused a remarkable increase in grain and straw yields of rice. Application of P from different sources led to an increase in NPKS contents and uptake by rice. In most cases, DAP resulted in a higher nutrient uptake by rice crop. DAP can be used as a better source of P fertilizer compared to TSP or compost for rice cultivation in Bangladesh.

    Effects of Organic Manures on Growth and Yield of Cabbage
    (Journal of Agriculture, Food and Environment (JAFE), 2022-06) Haque, SMR; Mondal, MF; Hassan, MK; Islam, MN; Hoque, MM; Ahamed, S; Bir, MSH
    An investigation was made on growth and yield performance of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) under different organic manures and fertilizers at the Horticulture Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from October 2017 to March 2018 to investigate the effect of organic manures on the growth and yield of cabbage. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Result of the experiment revealed that the different combinations of organic manure significantly influenced all the parameters studied. Maximum marketable yield per hectare (55.5 ton) was obtained when T5 (cowdung @ 2 t/hectare + compost @ 2.5 t/hectare + mustard oil cake @ 0.25 t/hectare + poultry manure 1.8 t /hectare) was applied, while the lowest was obtained from the control treatment. So T5 (cowdung @ 2 t/hectare + compost @ 2.5 t/hectare + mustard oil cake @ 0.25 t/hectare + poultry manure 1.8 t /hectare) was found suitable for growth and yield of cabbage.
