Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study was made on integrated nutrient management in the Bush bean -T. A us -T. Arnan cropping pattern over three years at BRRI Farm, Gazipur (AEZ-28) during 2000-02. Different packages of chemical fertilizers in combination with organic materials (cowdung and rice straw/bush bean stover) were evaluated to find out a suitable combination for obtaining higher yield of crops. There was a positive effect of crop residue recycling and residual effect of cowdung on the yield of the next crops. Both the soil test based fertilizer and the cowdung with lPNS basis fertilizer treatments gave higher pod yield of bush bean. For T. A us rice, the highest yield was obtained with the treatment where bush bean stover was used along with lPNS based chemical fertilizer. Again the highest yield of T. Aman rice was observed in the residual effect of cowdung with reduced amount of fertilizer. An excess N uptake was recorded where N was added as fertilizer only. The apparent balance (nutrient added through manures and fertilizers minus nutrient removed by crops) for both N and K was negative while that for P & K was mostly positive.

Location: BRRI Farm, Gazipur

Start Date: 00-00-2000

End Date: 00-00-2002

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Rice, Bush bean

Objectives:

To develop an integrated organic-inorganic fertilization programme for achieving higher crop yield without affecting soil health.

Methodology:

A field trial with Bush bean (BARI Jharshim-1) -T. Aus (BR26) -T. Aman (BRRI dhan39) cropping system was conducted at BRRI Farm, Gazipur (AEZ- 28 and land type-HL) during 2000-02. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with six treatment combinations and three replications. Bush bean was the first crop in the pattern. In the two rice seasons (Kharif-I& II) each original plot under treatments T₃ and T₅ was divided into four and two sub-plots, respectively. Full doses of P, K, S, Zn, and organic materials were applied during final land preparation as basal dose. Nitrogen as per treatment was applied in two equal splits at 15 and 35 days after sowing. Bush bean was grown maintaining line-to line 30 cm spacing. The seed rate of Bush bean was 100 kg/ha. T. Aman rice straw 5t/ha (OD basis) was incorporated 7 days prior to Bush bean sowing (T₄) . Bush bean was sown in line in December.All P, K, S, and Zn as per treatments were applied as basal and thoroughly incorporated with soil before transplanting. Nitrogen as per treatment was applied in three equal splits (basal 25-30 DAT + 55-60 DAT). Bush bean stover was incorporated at 5 t/ha as oven dry basis at 7 days prior to T. Aus planting (T4). After T. Aus harvest, the rice straw was incorporated 7 days prior to T. Aman rice planting (T4). Rice crops were grown maintaining 20 cm x 20 cm spacing in each season . T. Aus was transplanted in March and T. Aman in August.The rice crops were harvested at maturity from 2.5m x 2 m area. The grain yields were recorded at 14% moisture and straw yields at oven dry basis.

Achievement/Findings:

There was a positive effect of crop residue recycling and residual effect of cowdung on the yield of the next crops. Both the soil test based fertilizer and the cowdung with lPNS basis fertilizer treatments gave higher pod yield of bush bean. For T. Aus rice, the highest yield was obtained with the treatment where bush bean stover was used along with lPNS based chemical fertilizer. Again the highest yield of T. Aman rice was observed in the residual effect of cowdung with reduced amount of fertilizer. An excess N uptake was recorded where N was added as fertilizer only. The apparent balance (nutrient added through manures and fertilizers minus nutrient removed by crops) for both N and K was negative while that for P & K was mostly positive.Recycled Bush bean stover along with lPNS based chemical fertilizer application or residual effect of cowdung + I 00% N and 50% PKS of STB gave the highest yield in T. Aus rice. In T. Aman rice, residual effect of cowdung along with reduced doses of chemical fertilizer (100% N, 50% of P, K, and S) in the field trial substantially increased the grain yield.
