EFFECT OF ZINC AND BORON ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF BARI JHAR SHEEM-1

Abstract

The experiment was conducted during the period from December, 2015 to February 2016 at the farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh to study the effect of Zn and B on growth and yield of BARI Jhar Sheem-1. The experiment comprised of two factors; Factor A: Levels of Zn 1 : 0 kg Zn ha

1 2 : 1.5 kg Zn ha

2 -1 , Zn : 1 kg B ha 3 : 3 kg Zn ha -1 and B 3 -1 and Factor B: Levels of B : 2 kg B ha -1 . The two factors experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design , whereas the shortest plant 1 . The highest pod yield 3
