Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Demonstration trial for poultry manure as alternative source of phosphorus fertilizer was carried out at BRRI technology site, Kapasia, Gazipur during Boro and T Aman season. Poultry manure contains 29% phosphorus (P) which might be alternative source of phosphorus fertilizer. Objective of this study was to demonstrate poultry manure as a source of phosphorus for rice. It was found that in Boro season, all fertilizers (– P) + poultry manure applied plot gave 15% higher grain yield than the all fertilizers (– P) applied plot which was 10% lower than the all fertilizers applied plot in Boro season. On the other hand, In T Aman season, all fertilizers (– P) + poultry manure applied plot gave 13% higher grain yield than the all fertilizers (– P) applied plot which was 7% lower than the all fertilizer applied plot.

Keywords: Poultry manure, Phosphorus fertilizer, Rice

Location: BRRI Technology Site, Kapasia

Start Date: 01-07-2011

End Date: 30-06-2012

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Non-commodity: Demonstration

Objectives:

To demonstrate poultry manure as a source of phosphorus for rice

Methodology:

Price of phosphorus fertilizer was as high for which demonstration of poultry manure as alternate source of phosphorus fertilizer was established. Therefore, demonstration trial for poultry manure as alternative source of phosphorus fertilizer was carried out at BRRI technology site, Kapasia, Gazipur during Boro season 2010-11 and T Aman season 2011. BRRI dhan29 during Boro 2010-11 and BRRI dhan46 during T Aman were used in this study. Six dispersed farmers field were used to conduct this experiment. The treatments were T₁= All fertilizers, T₂= All fertilizers (–P) and T₃= All fertilizers (–P) + poultry manure.

Achievement/Findings:

Poultry manure is a good source of organic fertilizer. It contained 29% phosphorus (P) which were alternative source of phosphorus fertilizer. In Boro season, all fertilizers (– P) + poultry manure applied plot gave 15% higher grain yield than the all fertilizers (– P) applied plot which was 10% lower than the all fertilizers applied plot in Boro season. On the other hand, in T Aman season, all fertilizers (– P) + poultry manure applied plot gave 13% higher grain yield than the all fertilizers (– P) applied plot which was 7% lower than the all fertilizer applied plot.
