Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during winter (Rabi) season of 2013-14 to evaluate the effect of integrated use of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth, yield and nitrogen (N) uptake of wheat. There were six treatments such as T₀ (control), T₁ [STB-CF (HYG)], T₂ [STB-CF (HYG) + CD (5 t/ha)], T₃ [STB-CF (HYG) +PM (3 t/ha)], T₄[STB-CF (HYG) COM (5 t/ha)] and T₅ [FP (Farmers’ practice)]. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design with four replications. Soil test based nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur, zinc and boron were used @ 100, 20, 60, 10, 3 and 2 kg ha^-1, respectively. The integrated use of organic and inorganic fertilizers significantly increased the yield attributes as well as grain and straw yields of wheat. The treatment T₃ [STB-CF (HYG) + PM (3 tha^-1)] produced the highest grain yield of 3554 kg ha^-1 (69.67% increase over control) and straw yield of 3635 kg ha^-1 (62.83% increase over control). The lowest grain yield (2094 kg ha^-1) and straw yield (2232 kg ha^-1) were found in control treatment. The N content and uptake by wheat were also markedly influenced by combined use of organic and inorganic fertilizers and the treatment T₃ demonstrated superior performance to other treatments. So, the applications of fertilizers in combination with poultry manure @ 3 t ha^-1 can be used for the successful cultivation of wheat in Old Brahmaputra Floodplain ?soil.?

Objectives:

To study the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers in IPNS (Integrated Plant Nutrient Management System) system on the growth, yield and nitrogen uptake of wheat.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the winter (Rabi) season of 2013-14. The soil of the experimental field belongs to Sonatala Series. The experimental soil was silt loam in texture having pH 6.94, organic matter 1.62%, total nitrogen 0.067%, available phosphorus 10.45 mg/kg, exchangeable K 0.08 me/100g soil, available sulphur 12.00 mg/kg and cation exchange capacity 15.0 me/100 g soil. The recommended high yielding wheat variety Kanchan was used as the test crop in this experiment. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with six treatments and four replications. The total numbers of plots were 24. The unit plot size was 5m x 4 m having spacing between plot to plot 0.5m and block to block 1m. There were six treatments; T₀ (Control), T₁ [STB-CF (HYG)], T₂ [STB-CF (HYG) + CD (5 t/ha)] on IPNS basis, T₃ [STB-CF (HYG) + PM (3 t/ha)] on IPNS basis, T₄ [STB-CF (HYG) + COM (5 t/ha)] on IPNS basis, T₅ [FP (Farmers practice)]. Here, [STB=Soil Test Basis, CF=Chemical fertilizer, CD=Cow dung, PM=Poultry manure, COM=Compost, FP=Farmers’ practice, HYG=High yield goal]. Well decomposed cow dung, compost and poultry manure were applied to the plots as per the treatments by mixing with the soil well before 7 days of sowing. The nutrient content in cow dung, poultry manure and compost. The amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur and boron required for each plot was calculated and used as per requirement. One third of urea and the full amount of TSP, MOP, gypsum and boric acid were applied one day before transplanting. The rest of urea was applied in two equal splits; one at maximum tillering stage (30 days after sowing) and the other at spike initiation stage (60 days after sowing). Seeds of wheat were sown @ 150 kg ha^-1 in lines and covered by soil with hand. The line to line distance was 20 cm and the depth of furrow was about 6 cm. A strip of wheat crop was established as border crops. Intercultural operations were done for ensuring and maintaining the normal growth of the crop. The crop was harvested at full maturity. Grain yield was recorded on 14% moisture basis and straw yield on sun dry basis. Five hills were randomly selected from each plot at maturity to record the growth and yield contributing characters. Grain and straw samples were analyzed for N content following the method outlined by Bremner and Mulvaney (1982). The N uptake by grain and straw was calculated from its content and yield data using the equation, Nitrogen uptake = [Nitrogen content (%) x Yield (kg ha^-1)]/100. All the data were statistically analyzed by F-test and the mean differences were ranked by DMRT at 5% level (Gomez and Gomez, 1984).

Achievement/Findings:

The overall results indicate that the yield of wheat varied considerably among the treatments T₁, T₂, T₃ and T₄ although they received the same amount of nutrients but the sources of nutrients were different. Poultry manure in combination with chemical fertilizers ( T₃) produced the highest grain and straw yield of wheat and it took superior position in all other parameters studied including yield components, N content and uptake. Therefore, it can be concluded that poultry manure in combination with chemical fertilizers can be used successfully in an integrated way using IPNS system for the successful cultivation of wheat.
