The experiment was conducted at the research field of Agronomy Division, BARI, Joydebpur, Gazipur and ARS, Burirhat, Rangpur during consecutive two years of 2009-10 and 2010-11 to find out optimum fertilizer dose for hybrid maize-mukhikachu relay cropping system. Five fertilizer combinations viz, Recommended fertilizer of hybrid maize (RFM) + 112 kg N/ha, RFM + 25% recommended fertilizer of mukhikachu (RFK), RFM + 50% RFK, RFM + 75% RFK and RFM + 100% RFK were tested on hybrid maize-mukhikachu relay cropping system. Sole crops of hybrid maize (cv. BARI Hybrid Maize-5) and mukhikachu (cv. Bilashi) with their respective recommended fertilizer dose (maize: 255-55-140-40-6-2 kg/ha NPKSZnB and mukhikachu: 112-32-95-22 kg/ha NPKS) were included for comparison. Grain yield of sole maize with recommended fertilizer practice was identical with other fertilizer combinations at both the locations. Yield and yield components of mukhikachu under different fertilizer management practices increased with the increase of fertilizer levels up to RFM + 50% RFK and then decreased at both the locations. Edible yield of sole kachu with recommended fertilizer practice was the highest but it was identical to RFM + 50% RFK at both the locations. The highest maize equivalent yield (Joy: 24.26 t/ha, Buri: 31.56 t/ha) and gross return (Joy: Tk 291120/ha, Buri: Tk 378720/ha) was recorded in RFM + 50% RFK. But the highest gross margin (Joy: Tk 207035/ha, Buri: Tk 291570/ha) was obtained from RFM + 25% RFK at Joydebpur and from RFM + 50% RFK at Burirhat. The highest benefit cost ratio (Joy: 3.69, Buri: 4.64) was found from RFM + 112 kg N/ha at both the locations. The results revealed that recommended fertilizer dose (255-55-140-40-6-2kg/ha NPKSZnB) of hybrid maize plus 112 kg N/ha (extra) might be economically profitable for hybrid maize mukhikachu relay cropping system at both the locations.

To find out economic fertilizer dose for hybrid maize and mukhikachu relay cropping system.

The experiment was conducted at the research field of Agronomy Division, BARI, Joydebpur, Gazipur and ARS, Burirhat, Rangpur during consecutive two years of 2009-10 and 2010-11. The soil of the experimental field of Joydebpur was silty clay loam in texture belonging to Chhiata series under AEZ-28. On the contrary, the soil of the experimental field of Burirhat was silt loam in texture belonging to Gangachara series under AEZ-3. Initial soil samples at 0-20 cm depth were collected from experimental fields of both the locations and analyzed. Five fertilizer combinations viz, Recommended fertilizer dose (255-55-140- 40-6-2 kg/ha NPKSZnB) of hybrid maize (RFM) + 112 kg N/ha, RFM + 25% recommended fertilizer dose (112-32-95-22 kg/ha NPKS) of mukhikachu (RFK), RFM + 50% RFK, RFM + 75% RFK and RFM + 100% RFK were tested on hybrid maize-mukhikachu relay cropping system. Sole crop of hybrid maize was grown with fertilizer @ 255-55-140-40-6-2 kg/ha NPKSZnB and that of mukhikachu with 112-32-95-22 kg/ha NPKS were included in this experiment for comparison. The experiment was laid out in a RCB design with 3 replications. The unit plot size was 4.5 m x 3 m. Seeds of BARI Hybrid Maize 5 were sown on 26 November 2009 and 30 November 2010 at Joydebpur, while at Burirhat on 22 November 2009 and 25 November 2010 maintaining 75 cm x 25 cm spacing in all plots. Double row (20 cm between two rows) of mukhikachu (cv. Bilashi) was planted on 22 March 2010 and 25 March 2011 at Joydebpur while on 17 March 2010 and 20 March 2011 at Burirhat in between two maize rows with a seed to seed distance of 45 cm. Sole mukhikachu was planted in double row system (within double row: 20 cm and between double row: 55 cm). Maize was fertilized with recommended dose of 255-55-140-40-6-2 kg/ha NPKSZnB. One third of N and full amount of PKSZnB were applied as basal and rest N was top dressed in two equal splits at 30 and 60 days after sowing (DAS) of maize followed by irrigation. In mukhikachu, full quantity of PKS was applied on the space between two maize rows followed by spading and N was top dressed in two equal splits at 40 and 100 DAS of mukhikachu as per treatments. A light irrigation was given after maize sowing for proper emergence. Irrigation and intercultural operations were done as and when required. Maize was harvested on 20 April 2010 (145 DAS) and 15 April 2011 (140 DAS) at Joydebpur, while on 02 May 2010 (161 DAS) and 04 May 2011 (160 DAS) at Burirhat. Mukhikachu was harvested on 20 October 2010 (212 DAS) and 15 October 2011 (207 DAS) at Joydebpur, while on 10 October 2010 (207 DAS) and 14 October 2011 (208 DAS) at Burirhat. Data on yield and other parameters of both the crops were recorded at the time of harvest. Plant population data for maize and mukhikachu were taken from randomly selected three places in each plot and yield components were taken from 10 plants in both the years. Yields of both the crops were taken from whole plot.
