INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT FOR BORO-T.AMAN RICE CROPPING PATTERN IN THE LEVEL BARIND TRACT AREA (AEZ-25) (Pages : 23 - 27)

The experiment was conducted at Joypurhat MLT Site, Bogra (AEZ-25) during 2001-03 to find out a different nutrient management packages for Boro-T.Aman rice cropping pattern. The experiment was laid out following RCBD with six treatments including one farmers’ practice and one fertilizer control in six dispersed replications. The other four treatments were soil test based (STB) fertilizer dose for moderate yield goal (MYG) and high yield goal (HYG), STB based fertilizer dose for HYG plus cowdung (5 t/ha) and fertilizer dose as per country’s Fertilizer Recommendation Guide ( FRG ’97). For the average result of three consecutive years it was indicated that the highest grain yield of Boro (5.487 t/ha) and T.aman (4.75 t/ha) were obtained from IPNS. The highest average gross margin was Tk.33556 /ha and MBCR (1.65) in Boro rice over control. The highest gross margin (Tk. 31276 /ha) and MBCR (1.93) of T.aman rice were also obtained from IPNS over control. So the IPNS was economically and agronomically profitable dose of fertilizer for the level Barind Tract area (AEZ-25). Download
