Abstract/ Executive Summary:

None of the parameters except seed yield at Magura location showed statistically significant differences due to different treatments. However, there were variations observed in different characters. The highest seed yield (1508 kg ha^-1) of the treatment T₂ at Magura was contributed by the highest number of siliqua plant^-1 (47.8) and 1000 seed weight and the least was in T₅. The results of Rangpur location showed that most of the characters like plant population m^-2, siliqua plant^-1, seed weight plant^-1 and seed yield were affected significantly by different treatments. The maximum seed yield (1117 kg ha^-1) of Rangpur location was obtained from T₂treatment which was significantly different from T₁ and T₅ and it also produced the highest straw. However, seed yields and other yield parameters of both the locations were better with B than without B but average yields of B treated plots were higher at Magura than at Rangpur

Keywords: Boron, Yield and Mustard

Location: Sub-station farms of BINA at Ishurdi and Comilla

Start Date: 05-11-2008

End Date: 05-02-2009

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mustard

Objectives:

To evaluate the yield performance of Binasarisha-4 under different timing and method of boron application

Methodology:

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the yield performance of Binasarisha-4 under different timing and method of boron application during Rabi season, 2008-09 at BINA sub-station farms at Magura and Rangpur. The treatments were T₁ = NPKS (150, 40, 60 and 40 kg ha^-1) recommended dose, T₂ = T₁+ Boron basal application @ 1 kg ha^-1 (RD), T₃ = T₁+ B application @ 1 kg ha^-1 by dissolving in water through spraying just before flowering, T₄ = T₁+ ½ of RD Boron as Basal and ½ as spraying by dissolving in water just before flowering and T₅ = Farmer’s practice NPK (100, 20 and 30 kg ha^-1). The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. The unit plot was 5 m × 3 m. The data on yield and yield components of each location were recorded and they were statistically analyzed for each location following the design used for the experiment and the means were compared with LSD.

Achievement/Findings:

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the yield performance of Binasarisha-4 under different timing and method of boron application during Rabi season, 2008-09 at Magura and Rangpur. Seed yields of the treatment T₂ were maximum both at Magura and Ishurdi locations. Seed yields and other yield parameters of both the locations were better with B than without B but average yields of B treated plots were higher at Magura than at Rangpur.
