Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The results showed that none of the parameters except seed pod^-1 at Rangpur showed statistical significant difference due to different treatments. However, grain yields of all treatments at Mymensingh showed better performance than those at Rangpur. The maximum grain yield (1432.3 kg ha^-1) was recorded at Mymensingh in the treatment T₃ followed by T₄ and T₂ of the same location. Grain yields of Mymensingh location ranged from 1432.3 kg ha^-1 in T3 to 1146.0 kg ha^-1 in T₅. Grain yields of Rangpur location ranged from 1169.6 kg ha^-1 in T₃ to 968.0 kg ha^-1 in T_5.

Keywords: Yield, Boron and Mustard

Location: Experimental farm of BINA, Mymensingh and Bina Sub-station Farm, Rangpur

Start Date: 15-11-2006

End Date: 30-06-2007

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 with Binasarisha-4 under different timing and method of boron application during Rabi season. The treatments were T₁ = NPKS (150, 40, 60 and 40 kg ha^-1) recommended dose, T₂= T₁+ Boron basal application @ 4 kg ha^-1 (RD), T3 = T₁+ RD of B application by dissolving in water by 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 four replications. The unit plot was 5 m × 4 m. The data were recorded at harvest.

Achievement/Findings:

Boron application either as basal or foliar spray in mustard affected very little on grain yield when applied either as basal or in spray in RD of 4 kg ha^-1.
