The results of the experiments conducted on a high land belonging to Salna Series under Madhupur Tract (Shallow Red Brown Terrace Soil) with different rates of N, P, K, S, B and Mo with cow dung and organic compost evince that the application of N120 P120 K100 S20 B1 Mo0.20OC0.5 (T16) had the best effect on the growth and yield of cauliflower followed N120 P180 K100 S20 B1 Mo0 2CD10 (T7).

A field experiment was carried out in a slightly to moderately coastal saline soil of the Khulna district. The area is mostly under monocropped practices having cropping intensity of >114%. Topsoil, river and ground water salinity in these area range from 1.7-2.6, 0.25-0.39 and 1.4-3.2 dS/m during July to December respectively. Soil and tidal riv er water salinity doesn’t severely affect the growth and yield of both HYV and local rice varieties in this period. BR-23 performed better growth and yield than BR-30 and local varieties. The degree of yield performance were BR-23>BR-30>Jutabalam>Kachra when the other relevant parameters remained constant
