EFFECT OF SULPHUR AND ZINC ON GROWTH, YIELD AND NUTRIENT UPTAKE OF BORO RICE (CV. BRRI DHAN 29) (Pages : 10 - 15)

The experiment was conducted at Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh farm during 2004 Boro season to evaluate the effect of S and Zn on rice (cv. BRRI dhan29). There were seven treatments viz. S0Zn0, S10Zn0, S20Zn0, S0Zn1.5, S0Zn3, S10Zn1.5 and S20Zn3. The subscripts of S and Zn represent the dose in kg ha-1. The highest grain (5.76 t ha-1) and straw (7.32 t ha-1) yields were recorded in the S20Zn3 treatment (100% recommended dose). The S0Zn0 (control) had the lowest grain yield with 4.35 t ha-1 as well as the lowest straw yield with 5.47 t ha-1. The application of both S and Zn fertilizers significantly increased S and Zn contents as well as their uptake over control.Download
