APPROPRIATENESS OF MEDIA FOR COMMUNICATING WITH GRAM EEN BANK WOMEN BENWICIARIES AS PERCIVE BY THEM
(DEPT. OF AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION & INFORMATION SYSTEM, 2008) ISLAM, MD. ASHRAFUL
The study was conducted in the four villages namely Doluapara, Bolayapara, Mirgahr and Neemnogor of Hafizabad Union under Panchagarh Upazila. The independent variables were: age, education, family size, land size, social participation cosmopolite ness, annual income. While the dependent variable was appropriateness of media for communicating with Gramcen bank women beneficiaries as perceive by them. The young aged rural women constitute the highest proportion (80.00 percent) followed by middle aged category (15.24 percent) and old aged category (4.76 percent). A large proportion (46.67 0/0) had primary education and 29.53 percent had secondary level of education compared to 23.80 percent illiterate. The medium family constitute the highest proportion (60.00 percent) followed by small family category (34.29 percent) and the large are the lowest proportion (5.71 percent). The rural farm women holding farm size below 1.0 hectare, i.e. medium land holder constitute the half (50-48 percent) of the respondents, compared to 44.76 percent small farmers and 4.76 percent large farmers. The low participation category constitute the highest proportion (64.76 percent) followed by medium participation (32.37 percent) and high participation category (2.87 percent). The rural women have low cosmopolite ness category constitute the highest proportion (72.38 percent) followed by medium cosmopolite ness (20.00 percent) and high cosmopolite ness category (7, 62 percent). Education level, social participation showed significant positive relationship with appropriateness of media for communicating with (3rameen bank women beneficiaries as perceive by them. Age, cosmopoliteness and annual income showed significant negative relationship with appropriateness of media for communicating with (irameen bank women beneficiaries as perceive by them. The rural women having very low annual income constitute the highest proportion (73.33 percent) followed by the rural farm women having high annual income (14,29 percent) and medium annual income (1238 percent) constitute the lowest proportion. The appropriate communicating media for rural women score ranged from 3-31 and the average being 13.17 with standard deviation 8.63. Among the respondents the highest 57.14 percent belongs to the group of less appropriate group followed by 29.53 percent in high appropriate group and 13.33 percent in low appropriate group.
EFFECT OF FERTILIZER AND MANURE APPLICATION ON YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS OF RICE AND LEACHING LOSS OF NUTRIENTS THROUGH UNDISTRUBED SOIL COLUMNS
(Department of Soil Science, 2013-12) ISLAM, MD. ASHRAFUL
The experiment was conducted in a net house of Soil Science Department at Sher-e- l3angla Agricultural University. Dhaka. Bangladesh during the period from July 2011 to April 2012 to study the effect of fertilizer and manure application on yield and yield components of rice and leaching toss of nutrients through undisturbed soil columns. The experiment consists of 2 factors i. e. soils and fertilizer plus manure. Two levels of soils (S1 = SAU Soil and L. it) r a r y S2= Sonargaon Soil) with 4 levels of fertilizer plus manure, as Control, T1 : 100% N120 P20K45 S20 (Recommended dose). 12: 50% NPKS + 5 ton cowdung/ha, 13 : 50% NPKS + 2.1 ton poultry manure/ha. were imposed during T.Aman and boro rice season. T. Aman (BR! 1) and Boro rice (BRRI dhan29) were grown in the soil cores and fertilizer and manure treatments were applied to the soils. There were 8 treatment combinations and 3 replications. Results revealed that soil had no significant effect on the yield and yield parameters. The yield contributing characters and yields were significantly affected by fertilizer and manure application. During T.Anian season, the highest effective tillers/core (17.00), plant height (105.57 cm), panicle length (23.70 cm), grain yield (0.046 kg/core) and straw yield (0.053 kg/core) were found from T 1 (R1)CF) treatment. The highest 1000 grain wt. (23.70 g) was obtained from T 2 and filled grain/panicle (121.83 ) from T 3 treatment and the lowest in To treatment. The highest grain yields was found by the application of Recommended dose of chemical fertilizer which was statically similar to T 3 treatment. The combined effects of soil and fertilizer were not significant but the highest grain (0.049 kg/core) and straw yields (0.056 kg/core) were recorded from S2T1 (Sonargaon Soil + 100% NPKS) and the lowest (0.010 kg/core) from S 1 T0 (SAU Soil) treatment combination. Leachate samples were collected at 25. 35, 45, 55. 65 and 75 days after transplantation of T. Aman rice and analyzed for N, P. K and S by using standard analytical method. The N concentration in the leachate during varied significantly with different soil, fertilizer treatment and time. The higher N concentrations were found in the leachate of SAU (5,) soil compared to Sonargaon soil. Higher leachate K concentrations were found in Sonargaon soil compared to SAU soil. Among the fertilizer treatments, significantly higher concentrations of K were found in the leachate of 100% chemical fertilizer treatment compared to other. 1-ligher S concentrations were found in the leachate of SAU soil compared to Sonargaon soil. The l3oro rice grain nutrient concentrations were significantly affected by the application of fertilizer and manure. The highest concentrations of grain N (1.205%). p (0.261%), K (0.296%) were recorded from 12 and concentration of S (0.125%) was highest from T treatment and lowest from To treatment. The higher nutrient concentrations were recorded in S 1 T3. S,T 2 5212. 5211, treatment combination. After harvest of J3oro rice, the post-harvest soil samples were collected from the soil cores up to 20 cm depth at 10 cm intervals. Similarly. highest grain and straw yields of horo rice were obtained from T 1 treatment which was statically and T3 treatment. The levels of pH and nutrient concentration were increased in the post harvest soils where manure plus inorganic fertilizer were used.
EFFECT OF FOLIAR AND SOIL APPLICATION OF NUTRIENTS ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD PERFORMANCE OF BRRiIdhan 28
(HAJEE MOHAMMAD DANESH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY, DINAJPUR., 2014-12) ISLAM, MD. ASHRAFUL; Professor Dr. Md. Abu Hasan
An experiment was conducted at the research field of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur during Boro season of 2013-2014 with a view to examining the effect of foliar fertilization and nitrogen levels on performance of BRRIdhan 28 and reduce soil application of nitrogenous fertilizer. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with three replications. Two levels of foliar fertilization- no foliar fertilization (Fy) and foliar fertilization with magic growth (F;) were placed in the main plots as main plot treatments whereas four nitrogen fertilizer levels (0, 50, 75 and 100% of the recommended nitrogen fertilizer) were placed randomly in the sub plots as sub plot treatments.
