Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was carried out at Agronomy Field Lab of Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh during the period from November 2009 to March 2010 with a view of finding out the effect of appropriate dose of USG on growth and yield of wheat. Three wheat varieties viz. Shatabdi, Bijoy and Prodip and 6 levels of nitrogen (T₀, T₁, T₂, T₃, T₄ and T₅) were applied as treatments in this study. Among the application of USG on morpho-physiological and growth characters of wheat, the maximum plant height (98.33 cm), number of spikelet (21.33) and sterile spieklet (19.87) were found from V3T5. Similarly, V2T3 produced the highest no. of spikelet spile^-1 (11.50) and grain yield (2.75 t ha^-1) whereas similar treatment also showed the maximum no of non effective tiller (1.07) with V1T3.The treatment combination of V₂T₂ were recorded the highest on 1000-grain yield (51.98 g), no of non sterile spike (2.07) and no of grains spike^-1 (48.87). The highest no of total tiller hill^-1 (5.13) and effective tiller (4.33) were taken from the treatment combinations of V₁T₅. The highest straw yield (4.67 tha^-1) was recorded in V₂T₄.

Keywords: Wheat varieties, Dose of USG, Morphophysiological and growth characters

Location: Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh

Start Date: 00-11-2009

End Date: 00-03-2010

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Wheat

Objectives:

1. To observe the performance of three modern wheat varieties under the effect of USG and optimum levels which will reduce the requirement of urea fertilizer.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, during the period from November 2009 to March 2010. The experimental field was a high land belonging to the Old Brahmaputra Floodplain Agro Ecological Zone (AEZ). The soil of the experimental field was sandy loam having pH 6.4. Three wheat varieties i.e. Shatabdi, Bijoy and Prodip were used as plant materials for this experiment under six level of nitrogen (USG) viz. control (T₀), 100% nitrogen of BARI recommended dose applied as prilled urea (T₁); 25% nitrogen of BARI recommended dose applied as USG (T₂), 50% nitrogen of BARI recommended dose applied as USG (T₃), 75% nitrogen of BARI recommended dose applied as USG (T₄) and 100% nitrogen of BARI recommended dose applied as USG (T₅) on the growth and yield of wheat. Nitrogen were applied at the rate of BARI recommended dose as prilled urea 180 kg ha^-1 at the time of final land preparation and the urea super granule were applied as per treatment in each plot. Plant protection measures was not required, as the crop was free from insect and disease attack. The crop was harvested at full maturity. Grain and straw were then any in the sun for four days. The harvested crops were threshed plot-wise and grain and straw yields were recorded accordingly at 14% moisture basis and converted to t ha^-1. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was done with the help of computer package M-STATC. The mean differences among the treatments were adjusted with Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT).

Achievement/Findings:

From the above experiment, it can be mentioned that Bijoy showed better performance for the growth of wheat with 100% nitrogen of BARI recommended dose applied as USG.
