GROWTH YIELD AND ECONOMICS OF BARI SARISHA 14 AS INFLUENCED BY DIFFERENT MANGEMENTS UNDER IRRIGATED AND NON IRRIGATED CONDITION

Abstract

The experiment was conducted at the experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during the rabi season from November 2012 to February 2013 to evaluate growth yield and economics of BARI Sarisha 14 as influenced by different managements under irrigated and non irrigated condition. In this experiment, the treatment consisted of two irrigations viz. no irrigation and with irrigation; and seven different management practices viz. all management, all management without row, all management without mulching, all management without weeding, all management without fertilizer, all management without insecticide, all management without fungicide. The experiment was laid out in two factors split plot design with three replications. Results showed significant variations among the treatments in respect of majority of the observed parameters. The highest yield per hectare (0.86 tones) was obtained from irrigation with all management practices. The highest benefit cost ratio (BCR) (1.65) was obtained in the treatment combination of irrigation with all management along with without mulching and without weeding.
