EFFECT OF POULTRY MANURE AND LIME IN COMBINATION WITH CHEMICAL FERTILIZER ON GROUNDNUT PRODUCTION IN CHAR AREAS UNDER TISTA MEANDER FLOODPLAIN AGRO-ECOLOGICAL ZONE IN BANGLADESH (Pages : 10 - 14)
Z. FERDOUS, A. HOSSAIN, N.U. MAHMUD, R. ALI AND N.U. AHMEDA field experiment was conducted at the Ulipur MLT site, OFRD, Rangpur during Rabi season, 2010-2011 to investigate the yield potentiality of groundnut in the farmer’s field. Three treatments viz., T1= 20-45-50-20-2-1 kg ha-1 NPKSZnB + 4 t PM + 2 t Lime ha-1, T2= 20-30-50-20-2-1 kg ha-1 NPKSZnB + 2 t PM + 2 t Lime ha-1 and T3= Farmers practice (30-20-18 NPK kg ha-1 based on field survey) were compared for this purpose. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with six dispersed replications. Significantly the highest BARI Chinabadam-8 grain yield (2.38 t ha-1) was obtained from T1 compared to T3 and it was statistically similar to T2. The highest gross margin (Tk. 38450 ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (1.74) was obtained from T2. The lowest gross margin (Tk. 24050 ha-1) and benefit cost ratio (1.60) was obtained from T3 (farmers practice).Download
