EFFECTS OF POULTRY LITTER BASED COMPOST ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF MUSTARD
(HAJEE MOHAMMAD DANESH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY, DINAJPUR., 2018-12) SYED, MD. ABU; Professor Dr. Abu Khayer Md. Muktadirul Bari Chowdhury
To evaluate the poultry litter based composts efficacy on mustards production, a pot experiment was conducted at the Department of Crop Physiology and Ecology, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur, during December 2017 to May 2018. The experiment was laid out in a two factorial Randomized complete block design RCBD) with three replications. Two mustard varieties, such as V1=BINA Sarisha-4 and V2=BARI Sarisha-15 and three dose of poultry based compost as well as one recommended fertilizer, such as T1 = control (recommended dose) (Urea 2.5 g, TS 1.35 g, MoP 0.75 g, Gypsum 1.13 g per pot), T2= 10 ton/ha, T3 = 20 ton/ha, T4 = 30 ton/ha were applied in soil during to study the effects. Different growth performance such as plant height, leaf number, leaf area, dry weight, branch number and yield and yield contributing characters were recorded during the experiment. Most of the morphological traits and yield and yield contributing characters were significantly influenced by different dose of compost in both the varieties. The highest plant height, leaf number, leaf area, branch number, seed yield, stover yield, day to maturity, length of siliqua, thousands seed weight and stover yield were obtained at T3 (compost 20 ton/ha). But the longest length of siliqua and the highest number of seed in siliqua was recorded T4 (compost 30 ton/ha). And the highest harvest index (%) was recorded from T1 (control). All the yield and yield contributing characters found more in BINA Sarisha-4 compared to BARI Sarisha-15. It also observed that BINA Sarisha-4 took maximum day to first flowering and 50% flowering. And BARI Sarisha-15 took minimum days to first flowering and 50% flowering. The interaction between T3 (compost 20 ton/ha) and V1 (BINA Sarisha-4) gave the highest seed yield V1T3 (2.33 t ha-1 ) and V2 (BARI Sarisha-15) T1 (control) combination gave the lowest yield (1.27 t ha-1 ).
GENETIC VARIABILITY AND CHARACTER ASSOCIATION IN CHICK PEA (Cicer arietinum L)
(DEPARTMENT OF GENETICS AND PLANT BREEDING, SHER-E-BANGLA AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, DHAKA, BANGLADESH, 2009-06) SYED, MD. ABU
An experiment was conducted to study genetic variability, character association, genetic divergence and path coefficient analysis for yield and yield contributing traits in chick pea. The study was carried out at the experimental farm, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, during October 2008 to April 2009. The results indicated that different chick pea genotypes differed significantly regarding all the characters studied. Minimum differences of genotypic and phenotypic variances and coefficient of variation as well as high heritability coupled with high genetic advance and genetic advanced in percent of mean were observed for all the traits of different chick pea genotypes indicated additive gene effects of these traits. Number of pods per plant and 100 seeds weight of different genotypes had a high degree of significant positive association with seed yield per plant and high positive direct effect indicated that these characters had the major contribution towards the grain yield per hill. Selection could be made based on two traits for the improvement of yield of chick pea. Cluster H comprised maximum number of (11) genotypes followed by cluster Ill, V. IV and 1. The highest inter genotypic distance was observed between the genotype BD 6549 and 130 6603 (2.09). The inter cluster distance was maximum between the clusters I and Il (16.35). Among the characters number of secondary branches (0.11) and seed yield per plant (0.01) were major characters that contributed mostly toward genetic divergence.
