Abstract
The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University (SAU), Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka-1207 to study the effect
of nitrogen and Sulphur on the growth and yield of T. Aman rice (BRRI Dhan 87)
during the period from July, 2019 to December, 2019. The experiment was laid out in
a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications of each
treatment and Plant parameters (growth, yield and yield components) and plant
analysis data were subjected to statistical analysis through computer based statistical
Program STAR (Statistical Tool for Agricultural Research), developed at IRRI. Means
were compared by DMRT at 5% level of probability. The experiment consisted of
single factor with six treatments such as T

(120 kg Nitrogen & 12 kg Sulphur per ha) showed the best result in case of,
plant height, leaf length, number of effective tiller per hill, number of effective tillers
per hill, panicle length (cm), number of grains per panicle, number of filled grain per
panicle, 1000-grain weight (g), grain yield (t ha

), straw yield (t ha
), organic
matter, Nitrogen and phosphorus content in post harvest soil. So, it can be
concluded that the treatment T
8
(120 kg Nitrogen & 12 kg Sulphur per ha) is the best
for T. Aman rice (BRRI Dhan87) cultivation during the Aman season.
