Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study has been carried out at an organically converted field under the olericulture division of HRC, BARI Gazipur from November 2017 to March 2018 to find out suitable combinations of intercropping in terms of horticultural traits by using different organic fertilizers. The two-factor experiment was set in an RCB design crops and organic fertilizers were the two factors with three replications. Two cruciferous crops namely; kohlrabi and cabbage were evaluated with red amaranth under different organic fertilizers application. The head wt . was recorded the highest in sole crops (1550 g ) PR followed by VC, VC + BAOFER (1540 g) differed significantly with other treatments. Yield increment is the prime concern of organic cultivation. Cabbage and kohlrabi are popular and nutritious vegetables that grow to maintain certain spacing. to attain biological yield took time and within the raw short duration red amaranth can be grown which does not affect the total production even maximize the total yield as well as nutrition which might increase production and income. The experiment may be repeated for further confirmation for a recommendation.

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Vegetables, Soil fertility

Objectives:

To find out suitable combinations of intercropping in terms of horticultural traits by using different organic fertilizers.

Methodology:

The study has been carried out at organically converted field under olericulture division of HRC, BARI Gazipur during November 2017 to March 2018 to find out suitable combinations of intercropping in terms of horticultural traits by using different organic fertilizers. The two-factor experiment was set in an RCB design crops and organic fertilizers were the two factors with three replications. Two cruciferous crops namely; kohlrabi and cabbage were evaluated with red amaranth under different organic fertilizers application. Seedlings of main crops were purchased from the local market, for cabbage and Kohlrabi, the variety was Atlas 70 and Kohlrabi giant respectively. The plot fertilized with organic input at the rate 15 t /ha well-decomposed poultry refuse (PR). Half amounts of PR were applied during land preparation. After final preparation of land, a 1.2 m wide and 18 m length bed was raised apart from a 50 cm drain in between two beds. Fifty percent of the remaining half PR was incorporated in the bed. Then pits were dug with 50 x 50 cm distance and remaining PR and organic fertilizers applied in each pit. Standards sizes of seedlings were planted in each pit followed by microbial fertilizer contained water. After the establishment of the seedlings, three raw of red amaranth seeds were sawn in the lines. Data were recorded on total plant wt. head wt, leaf number, leaf wt. root wt. head length, head breadth, dry matter yield, amaranth yield, cabbage/ kohlrabi yield (plot and hectare), and SPAD value. Data were analyzed statistically

Achievement/Findings:

Yield increment is the prime concern of organic cultivation. Cabbage and kohlrabi are the poplar and nutritious vegetables grow to maintain certain spacing. To attain biological yield took time and within the raw red amaranth can be grown in a short time which does not affect the total production even maximize the total yield as well as nutrition which might increase production and income. The experiment may be repeated for further confirmation for a recommendation.
