Item PERFORMANCE OF NERICA RICE IN AUS SEASON UNDER INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM(Department of Soil Science, 2013-12) KASHEDUL, MD.A field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of integrated nutrient management on the growth and yield of NERICA 10 at the research farm olSher-eBangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during Aus season (Mid MarchJuly), 2012. 100 kg N form urea and 20 kg N substituted by vermicompost (T 3 Treatment) produced the maximum yield and yield attributing characters of NI2RICA 10. But the eflèct of vermicompost along with nitrogenous fertilizer was the most pronounced than that of cowdung or nitrogenous fertilizer alone. Similar effects were also observed on N. P. K, S content and their uptake by NERICA 10. The effect of 100 kg N from urea along with 20 kg N from vermicompost (T 3 Treatment) was statistically identical to 100 kg N from urea with 20 kg N substituted by cowdung (1 4 Treatment), 80 kg N from urea with 40 kg N substituted by vermicompost (T 5 Treatment). 80 kg N from urea with 40 kg N substituted by cowdung (T 6 Treatment). 60 kg N from urea with 60 kg N substituted by vermicompost (Ti Treatment), 40 kg N from urea with 80 kg N substituted by vermicompost (1 9 Treatment) and 100% N substituted by equal portion of vermicompost and cowdung (Ti l Treatment). The effect of 100 kg N from urea along with 20 kg N from vermicompost (T 3 Treatment) Treatment). 100% recommended N i.e. 120 kg nitrogen / ha (T 2 Treatment). 60 kg N from urea with 60 kg N substituted by cowdung was dissimilar with Control (Ti (18 Treatment) and 40 kg N from urea with 80 kg N substituted by cowdung (Ti o Treatment). In post harvest soils, the contents of total nitrogen, available phosphorus. exchangeable potassium and available sulphur increased due to application of cowdung and vermicompost compared to initial soil. In the contrary, soil p1l value decreased slightly as compared to that of initial soil. The overall resulLs indicate that 100 kg N from urea along with 20 kg N from vermicompost was the best treatment in producing higher rice yield with sustenance of soil fertility.Item PERFORMANE OF BUSH BEAN (BAR! bush bean-i) AS AFFECTED BY INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT(Department of Soil Science, 2013-12) Lina, Most.

ASHRAFULThe 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.

MAHMUDULThe study was carried out at Shcr-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU) Farm to know the effect of N fertilizers (Urea) and green manure (Dhaineha) on T. Aman rice (Var. IIRRI dhan33) during August to December 2012. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with nine treatments and three replications. The treatments were T (140 kg N-Urea), 12 (120 kg N-Urea+20 kg N-GM), T, (100 kg N-Urea+40 kg N-GM), T 4 (80 kg N- Urea+60 kg N-GM), T 5 (60 kg N-lirca+80 kg N-GM). T (40 kg N-Urea± 100 kg N-GM) and T 7 (20 kg N-Urea+ 120 kg N-GM), T 8 (140 kg N-GM),T 9 (70 kg NUrea--70 kg N-GM). The result demonstrated that the yield contributing characters, grain and straw yields were significantly influenced by the added N fertilizers and green manure. Application of 80 kg N as urea and 60 kg N from green manure produced the highest grain yield (5.02 1 h15. In case of straw yield, the treatment T (60 kg N-Urea+80 kg N-GM) produced the highest yield (5.54 t hi'). The treatments 1 4 and T -s resulted in higher nutrient use efficiency along with higher N. P. K and S uptake by the T. Aman rice. The application of nitrogenous fertilizer with green manure influenced the nutrient concentration in rice grain and straw. The higher grain N were observed in i' (Recommended dose) plot and higher P, K and S concentrations were observed in the treatments with green manure plot. The combined use of N fertilizer and green manure resulted in considerable improvement in soil fertility. The application of N fertilizer along with green manure increased the total N, available P and available S and exchangeable K in post-harvest soils. The overall findings of the study indicate that the use of 80 kg N as urea (173.90 kg/ha) and 40 kg N from green manure (Dhaincha 2.71 1/ha) should be encouraged to replenish the deteriorating soil fertility and increased crop yield of T. Aman rice.Item INFLUENCE OF INTEGRATED USE OF MANURES AND FERTILIZER ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF HYBRID DHAN HIRA 2(Department of Soil Science, 2013-12) SULTANA, MST.

Dhaka (Madhupur Tract, AEZ 28), during the rabi season from November 2011 to February 2012 to study the comparative varietal response of bushbean to organic and inorganic based nitrogen management on BARI bush bean. The two factors experiment were consisted of two bush varieties such as BARI bush-i (V,) and BARI bush-2 (V 2) as level factor A and five levels of inorganic and organic sources of N including control (without any N) vLz. inorganic N @ 90 kg hi' (T,). inorganic N @ 70 kg hi' ± organic N ( 20 kg hi1 (T2). inorganic N @ 50 kg hi' + organic N @ 40 kg ha' (T3), organic N @ 90 kg ha' (T4) and control treatment (T5) as level factor B. Responses of variety were significantly influenced on different growth and yield characters of the study were stover yield did not vary significant. Of the two varieties, BARI bush-i determined the greater performance on flowers (13.33 plof'), pods plot' (543.3), pod weight (138.26 g plant" and 6040.0 g plot4), pod yield (12.08 t hi') than that of other variety BARI bush-2. However. BARI bush-2 attained the tallest plant (39.43 cm) and maximum branches (14.40 plant ') than BARI bush-I. Varietal effect also responsed significantly on soil nutrient content except N and K content where BARI bush-I had higher than BARI bush-2. Similarly, organic and inorganic based N also responsed significantly among the whole growth and yield characters and also on soil nutrient content of C. P and S whereas treatment T 3 had highly efficient than that of other N doses among the whole characters. As a result, tallest plant (42.00 cm). maximum branches (15.50 plant'), flowers (10.50 plant4), pods (553.8 plot'), pod yield (13.08 t hi'). stover yield (5.91 t ha4 ) were obtained in T3. In contrast. C. P and S content had higher in T 3 (0.672%, 17.49 and 22.00 ppm, respectively) than that of other N. Combined effect between varieties and N doses had also significant on whole growth, yield and nutrient content except nutrient content of N and K whereas treatment combination of V,T 3 showed superior results on flowers production (14.50 planf'), pod (606.45 plof'), pod yield (13.28 t hi'), stover yield (6.05 t hi') than that of other combinations. Above investigated results indicated that the variety BARI bush-i (V,) and 50 kg inorganic + 40 kg organic N hi' (T1) would be suitable variety and appropriate N dose for obtaining the better growth and higher yield as well as the treatment combination of V,T 3 would be highly beneficial for higher production of bush bean.
