Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was initiated in Boro 2007-08 at BRRI farm Gazipur to evaluate the Flora as PGR on the growth and yield of rice. Application of Florta or STB chemical fertilizer either alone or combination significantly increased yield and yield contributing characters of rice over control. Although the performance of growth parameters were the highest in Flora @ 3 ml/liter of water plus STB dose treatment, but it was statistically similar to that STB dose treatment. The integrated use of Flora with STB dose produced the highest grain yield as well as economic return in Boro rice production.

Keywords: Flora, Plant growth regulator, Rice, STB chemical dose.

Location: BRRI farm, Gazipur

Start Date: 01-07-2007

End Date: 30-06-2008

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Fertilizer

Objectives:

to evaluate the Flora as PGR on the growth and yield of rice

Methodology:

This study was initiated in Boro 2007-08 at BRRI farm Gazipur. The following four treatment combinations werte tested: T1= Control, T2 = Flora @ 3ml/liter of water, T3 = Soil test based (STB) chemical fertilizer dose and T4 = Flora @ 3 ml/liter of water plus STB dose (T2 + T4). The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block deign with 3 replications having unit plot size 5m x 4 m. Fertilizer doses on STB was 145 kg N, 26 kg P, 79 kg K and 15 kg S/ha and was applied as urea, TSP, MP and gypsum, respectively. BRRI dhan29 was used as test crop. First spray of Flora was done at 7 days before transplanting at seed bed (30 ml /10 L water), 2^nd spray at 25 DAT (300 ml/100L water), 3^rd spray at 50 DAT (480 ml/160 L water) and 4^th spray at 75 DAT (480 ml/160 L water). Except Urea all the fertilizers were applied during final land preparation. Urea-N was applied in three 3 equal splits at final land preparation, at active tillering stage and at 5-7 days before PI stage. Grain yield was recorded from 5 m² areas at the center part of each plot and 16 hills were collected for straw yield. The grain yield was recorded at 14% moisture content and straw yield as oven dry basis.
