Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at the MLT site, Bhuapur, Tangail during rabi 2011-12 to find out the economic fertilizer dose of HYV mustard under char land situation. Four fertilizer doses viz. T₁: 60-16-24-13-0-1 kg/ha NPKSZnB (based on ORC, BARI) T₂: 140-30-60-20-4-1 (Based on Soil test). T₃: 57-15-38-0-0-0 (Farmer’s practice) and T₄: native fertility were tested on BARI Sarisha-11. Among the treatments, T₂ gave the highest seed yield (1830 kg/ha) which was at par with T₁. The highest gross return (Tk. 96533/ha) was recorded in T₂ but the highest gross margin (Tk. 61287/ha) was obtained from T₁ treatment. The results revealed that 60-16-24-13-0-1 kg/ha NPKSZnB would be the optimum fertilizer dose of mustard for getting the highest gross margin in the charland of Bhuapur, Tangail (AEZ- 8).

Keywords: Fertilizer management, HYV mustard, Charland areas

Location: Bhuapur, Tangail

Start Date: 15-11-2011

End Date: 01-03-2012

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Mustard

Objectives:

To find out the economic fertilizer dose of HYV mustard under char land situation.

Methodology:

The trial was conducted at the MLT site, Bhuapur, Tangail district (AEZ- 8) during robi season of 2011-12. Four fertilizer doses viz. T₁: 60-16-24-13-0-1 kg/ha NPKSZnB (based on AEZ-8), T₂: 140-30-60-20-4-1 (based on STB), T₃: 57-15-38-0-0-0 (Farmer’s practice) and T₄: native fertility were tested on BARI Sarisha-11. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with three replications. Unit plot size was 8m x 5m. Fertilizers were applied as per treatments. Half of nitrogen and full quantity of PKSZnB were applied at the time of final land preparation in the form of urea, triple super phosphate, muriate of potash, gypsum, zinc sulphate and boric acid, respectively. Rest of nitrogen was applied as top dressing at flower initiation stage (25 days after seeding). Seeds were sown in line with 30 cm apart on 15 November, 2011. Irrigation and other crop management practices were done when required. The crop was harvested during 25 February to 01 March, 2012. Data on different plant characters, yield components and seed yield were recorded from randomly selected 10 plants from each plot. Collected data were analyzed statistically and means were compared by LSD test at 5% level of significance.
