Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at the Multi-location Testing (MLT) site, (medium highland under AEZ-25) Pachbibi, Joypurhat, Bogura district during the rabi season of 2015-16. In the study, to evaluate the response of Pikachu to different nutrient management practices under farmer’s field conditions. There were five treatments viz. T₁=Soil test-based fertilizer dose (FRG 2012), T₂=T1+ 25% NPK, T₃=IPNS with 3 t ha^-1 poultry manure, T₄= IPNS with 5 t ha^-1 cow dung, and T₅= Farmers practice. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with six dispersed replications.T₃= IPNS with 3 t ha^-1 poultry manure, T₄ = IPNS with 5 t ha^-1 cow dung, and T₅= Farmers practice. The highest Panikachu rhizome yield (21.71 t ha^-1), gross return (TK. 430185ha^-1) and BCR (3.61) were found from T₃ (IPNS with 3 t ha^-1 poultry manure) which was followed by T₅ (19.66 t ha^-1) T₄ (19.45 t ha^-1), and statistically differed to other treatments. However, from the results, it could be recommended that IPNS will be a promising technology for higher crop yields of Panikachu and profit as well as for the improvement of soil fertility and sustain soil productivity in Joypurhat region.

Start Date: 00-00-2015

End Date: 00-00-2016

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Fertilizer and manures, Aroids

Objectives:

To find out an integrated fertilizer (inorganic and organic) doses for the cultivation of panikachu, and to increase soil fertility & sustain soil productivity for the Joypurhat region.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Multi-location Testing (MLT) site, (medium highland under AEZ-25) Pachbibi, Joypurhat, Bogura district during rabi season of 2015-16. In the study, to evaluate the response of panikachu to different nutrient management practices under farmer’s field conditions. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with six replications. The crop was accommodated in 8 m x 4 m. BARI panikachu-2 variety was used as an experimental crop. There were five treatments viz. T₁= Soil test based fertilizer dose (FRG 2012) (90.0-36.4- 40.46-7.6 kg ha^-1 NPKS), T₂= T₁+ 25% NPK (112.5-45.5-50.57-7.6 kgha^-1 NPKS) T₃= IPNS with 3 t ha^-1poultry refuse (37.5-21.0-28.5 kg ha^-1 NPK), T₄ = IPNS with 5 t/ha cowdung (30.0-9.0-13.8 kg ha^-1 NPKS), and T₅=Farmers practice (138.25-51.6-115.5 kg ha^-1 NPK).The climatic condition was cold and humid at the vegetative stage and moderately hot & high humid with frequent rain during the fruiting and harvesting phase. The fertilizers were used treatment-wise. Seedlings of BARI Pikachu-2 were planted on 29-31 December 2015. MoP (½) and all other fertilizers (Organic and inorganic) were applied during final land preparation except urea. The remaining MoP and One-sixth urea were applied in two equal installments at 45-60 days after transplanting. Rest urea was applied at 15 days intervals at five equal installments after transplanting. Before conducting the experiment soil samples were collected from the experimental fields and then sent to the Soil Resources Development Institute, Bogura for analysis to know the level of nutrient status. Chemical analysis of soil’s results has been presented in. Weeding, irrigation, crop protection measure and other intercultural operation were taken as and when necessary. The crop was harvested from 30 March to 28 July 2016. The yield of panikachu per plot was recorded and converted into yield per hectare according to treatment. At maturity, different data were collected in different parameters wise. The data obtained for yield contributing character and yield were statistically analyzed to find out the significance of differences among the treatments. The mean values of all the characters were evaluated and analysis of variance was performed by MSTAT-C software package and the mean differences were adjudged by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (Gomez and Gomez, 1984). The gross economic return was calculated on the basis of the prevailing market price of the commodities. Economic analysis was done on the basis of existing market prices of input and output (Reddy and Reddy, 1992).

Achievement/Findings:

Considering the result it was observed that higher yield and economic returns were obtained from IPNS based fertilizer doses compared to farmers' practice. IPNS with cow dung or poultry manure gave higher yield and profit. Therefore, from the results, it could be recommended that IPNS will be a promising technology for higher crop yield and profit as well as for the improvement of soil fertility and sustain soil productivity in the Joypurhat region for Panikachu production.
