INFLUENCE OF SULPHUR ON NUTRIENT CONTENT AND UPTAKE BY RICE AND ITS BALANCE IN OLD BRAHMAPUTRA FLOODPLAIN SOIL (Pages : 5 - 10)

The experiment was conducted on a Non-Calcareous Dark Gray Floodplain Soil (Sonatola series) of BAU farm, Mymensingh during Boro season of 2004. The soil was silt loam having pH 6.8, organic matter 1.62%, available S 9 ppm and available P 7.62 ppm. There were five treatments viz. T0 (control), T1 (10 kg Sha-1 ), T2 (20 kg Sha-1 ), T3 (40 kg Sha-1 ) and T4 (60 kg Sha-1 ). A randomized complete block design was followed with four replications. All plots received an equal dose of N, P, K and Zn. The highest N, P, K and protein content was recorded from treatment T2 (20 kg Sha-1 ). On the other hand, the highest S, Ca and Mg content was recorded from treatment T4 (60 kg Sha-1 ). However, the application of S fertilizer significantly increased protein, N, P, K, S, Ca and Mg content as well as their uptake over control. The S balance was positive where S was added as treatment combination. Negative S balance was recorded where no S was added (control). Download
