Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A field experiment was conducted at the Spices Research Centre, Shibgonj, Bogra, Bangladesh during the rabi seasons of 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 to determine the requirement of N, P, K, and S of coriander (BARI Corinader-1) for achieving satisfactory seed yield of this crop. Different levels of nitrogen (0, 40, 70, and 100 kg/ha), phosphorus (0, 25, 50, and 70 kg/ha), potassium (0, 30, 60, and 90 kg/ha), and sulphur (0, 10, 20, and 30 kg/ha) were distributed in the plot. The experiment was tested in randomized complete block design with three replications. There was positive impact of application of those nutrients on the yield and yield contributing characters of coriander up to a moderate level of N₇₀P₅₀K₃₀S₂₀ kg/ha. The highest seed yield (2.06 t/ha in 2008-2009 and 2.09 t/ha in 2009-2010) was obtained with this moderate application of N, P, K, and S (70, 50, 30, and 20 kg/ha, respectively) and yield was declined with higher doses of these elements. The fertilizer treatment N₇₀P₅₀K₃₀S₂₀ was observed to be the best suitable dose for coriander cultivation on Grey Terrace Soil of Amnura Soil Series under AEZ-25 (Level Barind Tract) of Bangladesh.

Location: Spices Research Centre, Shibgonj, Bogra

Start Date: 00-00-2008

End Date: 00-00-2010

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Fertilizer

Objectives:

The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the effects of application of different levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur on the yield and yield attributes of coriander.

Methodology:

Field experiments were conducted at the Spices Research Centre, Shibgonj, Bogra on Grey Terrace Soil of Amnura Soil Series under AEZ-25 (Level Barind Tract) during 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. A description of some chemical properties of experimental soil collected from a depth of 0-15 cm prior to application of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulphur . Soil analysis was determined by AS1 method (Hunter, 1984). The experiment was set up in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 14 treatment combinations having three replications. There were four levels of nitrogen (0, 40, 70, and 100 kg/ha), four levels of phosphorus (0, 25, 50 and 70 kg/ha), four levels of potassium (0, 30, 60, and 90 kg/ha), four levels of sulphur (0, 10, 20, and 30 kg/ha). A blanket dose of cowdung 5 t/ha, Zn3, and B1.5 kg/ha were applied in the experimental plots. The total amount of cowdung, TSP for P, MoP for K, gypsum for S, ZnSO₄ for Zn and boric acid for B were applied during final land preparation. Urea for N was applied in 2 equal splits at 25 and 40 days after sowing. The unit plot size was 3 m x 1.5 m and seeds of coriander (BARI Coriander-1) were sown at 12 November 2008 and 01 November 2009 and crop was harvested at its maturity on 28 February 2009 and 20 February 2010, respectively. Necessary intercultural operations were done throughout the cropping season for proper growth and development of the plant. Yield contributing parameters were recorded from ten randomly selected plants from each unit plot. The recorded data on different parameters were statistically analyzed by using MSTAT software to find out the significance of variation resulting from the experimental treatments. The difference between the treatment means were judged by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) according to Gomez and Gomez, 1984.

Achievement/Findings:

Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulprur played an important role in increasing growth and seed yield of coriander. The fertilizer treatment N₇₀P₅₀K₃₀S₂₀ was observed to be the best suitable dose for coriander cultivation in Grey Terrace Soil of Amnura Soil Series under AEZ-25 of Bangladesh.
