EFFECT OF SULFUR ON LATE JUTE SEED PRODUCTION IN DIFFERENT AEZ OF BANGLADESH (Pages : 1 - 5)

A four year field experiment was conducted in Gangachara, Sonatola and Shilmondi soil series of Rangpur, Manikganj and Kishoreganj respectively to asertain the effect of Sulfur (S) fertilizer on late jute seed production with six selective doses S (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 kg/ha) with the variety O-9897 (Corcorus olitorius L.) in three consecutive years. A highly significant effect was observed for plant height, number of pods/plant, pod length, 1000 seed weight and seed yield with the application of increased doses of S fertilizer but no significant effect was observed on plant population, number of branches/plant and number of seeds/pod. However, significant highest seed yield of about 911, 889 and 912g were found with the application of 30, 30 and 40 kg S/ha at Rangpur (AEZ no. 3b), Manikganj (AEZ no. 8d) and Kishoreganj (AEZ no. 8b) respectively.Download
