EFFECT OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF BORON ON THE YIELD AND YIELD ATTRIBUTES OF MUSTARD IN SURMA-KUSHIARA FLOOD PLAIN SOIL (AEZ 20) (Pages : 6 - 9)
M. J. HUSSAIN, M.M.R SARKER, M. H. SARKER, M. ALI AND M.M.R. SALIMThe experiment was conducted at Farming Systems Research and Development (FSRD) site Jalalpur, Sylhet during the two consecutive rabi seasons of 2005-06 and 2006-07 in Surma-Kushiara flood plain soil (AEZ-20) to show the effect of boron application on yield and yield attributes of different mustard varieties. The experiment involved five boron levels viz. 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 kg B / ha and three mustard varieties viz. BARI sharisha-8, BARI sharisha-9 and BARI sharisha-11. The result from two years experiment revealed that 1-1.5 kg boron/ha should be applied along with recommended fertilizers produced higher seed yield. BARI sharisha-11 and BARI sharisha-8 performed better and highly response to boron than BARI sharisha-9. Highest seed yield (1.57 t/ha) was obtained from the combination of BARI Sharisha – 11 and boron level 1.0 kg / ha.Download
