To determine the optimal nutrient management packages for BARI Til-4 in Charland areas and increase production along with farmers’ income, an experiment was conducted under Charland at the multi-location testing site, Bhuapur of the On-Farm Research Division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Tangail under AEZ-8 Tangail during two consecutive years of Kharif 2016 and 2017.Three different fertilizer doses were used, namely T1: 107-39-32-17-3.6-0.6 kg ha-1 (based on soil test), T2: 37-20-16-13-2-1 kg ha-1 + 5 t ha-1 cowdung (based on IPNS), and T3: 18-8-18-0-0-0 kg ha-1 NPKSZnB. (farmers practice). Between the two years, among the treatments, the soil test-based fertilizer dose provided the highest seed yield (1.39 t ha-1), which was comparable to the IPNS-based fertilizer dose (1.29 t ha-1), while the farmers' practiced fertilizer dose produced the lowest seed yield (0.78 t ha-1). T1 treatment resulted in a yield increase of 7.75 and 78.20 percent when compared to T2 and T3 treatments, respectively. The highest gross return (Tk. 65500 ha-1) and gross margin (Tk. 27637.64 ha-1) from T1 treatment, whereas the lowest return (Tk. 41500 ha-1) and gross margin (Tk. 2505.04 ha-1) were obtained from farmer practice. According to the overall results, a soil test-based fertilizer dose may be recommended in Charland sections of AEZ-8 for increased production and economic return.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
