Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The results showed that the grain yield obtained from AFTAB’s 25% higher than recommended dose (T₇) had produced the maximum yield (5.75 t ha^-1). The grain yields of T5(300 kg ha^-1 of AFTAB brand), T9 (BARC recommended dose 75, 15, 45,10, 1.5 kg ha^-1 of N, P, K, S and Zn ) and T₁₀ (Variety’s leaflet recommended dose) were almost close to one another. It was observed that both the mixed fertilizer brands produced higher grain yield with 25% higher dose than their recommended doses.

Keywords: Mixed fertilizer, Binadhan-4 and Yield

Location: Experimental farm of BINA, Mymensingh

Start Date: 25-06-2005

End Date: 30-06-2006

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Rice

Objectives:

To observe its performance with two different mixed fertilizers in relation to growth, yield and yield components

Methodology:

A field experiment was carried out with the rice variety Binadhan-4 at the farm of Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture, Mymensingh during aman season of 2005. The mixed fertilizers were taken from two commercial brands such as FARMER and AFTAB with three doses of them. The treatments were T₁ = Control, T₂ = FARMER recommended dose, (RD) (300 kg ha^-1), T₃ = 25%< RD (225 kg ha^-1), T₄= 25%>RD (375 kg ha^-1), T₅ = AFTAB recommended dose (300 kg ha^-1), T₆ = 25%< RD (225 kg ha^-1), T₇ = 25%>RD (375 kg ha^-1), T8 = BARC recommended dose 55, 12.5, 35, 8, 1.0 kg ha^-1 of N, P, K, S and Zn from single fertilizer for moderate yield goal, T9 = BARC recommended dose 75, 15, 45,10, 1.5 kg ha^-1 of N, P, K, S and Zn from single fertilizer for high yield goal and T₁₀ = Variety’s leaflet recommended dose and T₁₁ = Farmer’s practice dose-50,15, 30, 5 kg ha^-1 of NPKS from single fertilizer. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications.

Achievement/Findings:

Yield response of Binadhan-4 to two mixed fertilizers marketed by the trade names FARMER and AFTAB was evaluated in Aman season of 2005. The brand name AFTAB with 25% higher dose than their recommended dose produced maximum yield of 5.75 t ha^-1 among other treatments. Yield performance of FARMER mixed fertilizer was lower than BARC recommended dose.
