Abstract
The field experiment was conducted in the Horticultural farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from October 2010 to March 2011.
Two factors were used in the experiment, viz. factor A. four types of organic manure
such as M

Randomized complete Block Design with three replications. The maximum yield
