    (DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE, 2020) SHAHRIA, MD. RUMMAN
    The field experiment was conducted during rabi season, November 2018 to February 2019 in the experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural university, Dhaka to determine effects of nitrogen and zinc on growth and yield of mustard (Brassica campestris) variety BARI Sarisha-15. The treatments of the experiment was consisted of three levels of nitrogen i.e., 0 kg N/ha (N 0 ), 80 kg N/ha (N 1 ) and 120 kg N/ha (N 2 II ); three levels of zinc i.e., 0 kg Zn/ha (Zn 0 ), 2 kg Zn/ha (Zn 1 ), 3 kg Zn/ha (Zn 2 ). The experiment was laid out in the two factors Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Results of this experiment showed a significant variation among the treatments in respect of the majority of the observed parameters. The 120 kg N/ha (N 2 gave the highest plant height, number of branches per plant, number of seeds per siliquae, number of siliquae per plant, length of siliquae and 1000 seed weight. Again, N 2 resulted the maximum seed yield (1.70 t/ha), stover yield, biological yield and harvest index. In addition, except siliquae length and harvest index, 3 kg Zn/ha (Zn 2 ) resulted highest values in all parameters while the lowest values were found in Zn 0 treatment. The interaction between nitrogen and zinc had significant effect on all the growth and yield parameters. Except the harvest index, the N 2 Zn 2 treatment combination or 120 kg N/ha with 3 kg Zn/ha gave maximum values on all parameters including seed yield (1.82 t/ha). Based on these results, it can be suggested that 120 kg N/ha with the combination of 3 kg Zn/ha increased the growth and yield of mustard.

    EFFECT OF ZEOLITE APPLICATION ON CADMIUM ACCUMULATION IN RED AMARANTH (Amaranthus spp.) GROWN IN CONTAMINATED SOIL
    (DEPARTMENT OF SOIL SCIENCE, 2020) BELLAH, MD. MASUM
    Present work was carried out in the net house of Department of soil science, Shere-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh in order to study the effect of zeolite on Cd uptake in red amaranth plant as well as the effect of zeolite on soil health. The experiment was conducted in Completely randomized design (CRD) with four replications. Five levels of zeolite (Control, 1%, 2%, 3% and 4% of soil weight) in combination with two levels of Cd (Control and 15 ppm Cd) were used as treatment. In case of stem, leaf and root uptake, highest Cd concentrations (36.06, 65.46 and 46.99 ppm Cd respectively) were found in treatment 2 (Control zeolite + 15 ppm Cd), where no zeolite and maximum Cd was applied. On the other hand, maximum Cd remediation occurred in treatment 10 where maximum zeolite was applied (Zeolite @4% of soil weight + 15 ppm Cd). Higher concentrations of total Cd in bulk and rhizosphere soil were found in the treatments where higher rates of zeolite were applied. However, concentrations of bio-available Cd got lowered gradually in soils with higher rates of zeolite application. This indicates that more Cd was successfully immobilized by zeolite. Zeolite application also positively influenced the soil properties such as bulk density, particle density, soil pH and soil electrical conductivity. Therefore, it can be concluded that zeolite can be used as an effective tool for Cd remediation as well as a good soil amendment.
