EFFECT OF DIFFERENT LEVEL OF NITROGEN ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF TRANSPLANT AMAN RICE cv BRRI dhan32 (Pages : 28 - 34)

An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during T. Aman season, 2002 to study the effect of different level of nitrogen on growth and yield of transplant aman rice. The experiment included four treatments viz. 0, 60, 80 and 100 kg N ha-1 . Nitrogen level significantly influenced growth and yield components. The highest number of effective tillers hill -1 (9.20), maximum grains panicle-1 (100.80) and highest grain yield (5.34 t ha-1 ) were obtained with 80 kg N ha-1 . The highest straw yield (6.98 t ha-1 ) was obtained at the highest nitrogen level (100 kg N ha-1 ). The highest harvest index (44.50%) was observed at 80 kg N ha-1 . Results showed that 80 kg N ha-1 was optimum to produce maximum yield of transplant aman rice cv. BRRI dhan32. Download
