SHAHADAT HOSSAIN An experiment was conducted in the Horticulture farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, during the period from September 2009 to March 2010, to find out the effect of organic manures and different varieties on the growth and yield of tomato. The experiment consisted with two factors. Factor A: Four types of organic manure such as OM0 = Control, OM1= cowdung (30 t/ha), OM2 = poultry manure (25 t/ha) and OM3 = vermicompost (20 t/ha). Factor B: Three varieties such as V1 = BARI tomato 8, V2 = BARI tomato 3 and V3 = BARI tomato 2. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. For, organic manure OM2 gave the highest (94.22 t/ha) yield and lowest (25.63 t/ha) from OM0. For, variety V1 gave the the highest yield (88.06 t/ha) and V3 gave the lowest (55.74 t/ha). For, combined effect OM2V1 gave the highest (95.16 t/ha) and the lowest (27.20 t/ha) from OM0V1. So, poultry manure with BARI Tomato 8 gave the best performance.

The experiment consisted of two factors: Factor A: Light intensity: L 0 ; Full sunlight; L 1 ; 40% reduced sunlight; L ; 60% reduced sunlight and Factor B: Cultivars: 5 different colored cultivars namely, C 2 1 ; White colored flower; C ; Pink colored flower; C and C 5 3 ; Light pink colored flower; C 4 ; Yellow colored flower ; Orange colored flower. The two factors experiment was laid out in Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. Significant variation was recorded for different growth and flower character due to different light intensity, cultivars and their interaction effect. The maximum number of flowers per plant (15.64) was found from L 1 and lowest (11.90) from L . Maximum flowers (15.20) per plant was produced by C and the lowest (12.48) from C 1 . For combined effect L 1 C 5 5 produced the highest number of flowers (18.98) and L 2 C produced the lowest. So, it may be concluded that orange colored flower under 40% reduced sunlight gave the best results.

FARIDUJJAMAN The experiment was conducted at the Horticultural farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka, during the period from April, 2009 to March, 2010 to investigate the effect phosphorus and potassium on growth, flowering and bulb yield of tuberose. The experiment consisted of two factors. Factor A: Four levels of phosphorus i.e. P 0 : 0, P 1 : 135, P 2 : 145 and P : 155 kg P 2 O 5 /ha and Factor B: Four levels of potassium i.e. K 0 : 0, K 1 : 170, K : 180 and K 3 : 190 kg K 2 O/ha respectively. The experiment was laid out with Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. In case of Phosphorus, the highest flower (19.25 t/ha) and bulb (24.66 t/ha) yield was recorded from P and the lowest flower (9.60 t/ha) and bulb (14.51 t/ha) yield was recorded from P In case of Potassium, the highest flower (16.39 t/ha) and bulb (21.99 t/ha) yield was noted from K and the lowest flower (11.48 t/ha) and bulb (17.17 t/ha) yield was recorded from K 3 For combined effect the highest flower (22.27 t/ha) and bulb (27.57 t/ha) yield was noted from P 0. 3 K and the lowest flower (6.94 t/ha) and bulb (12.22 t/ha) yield was recorded from P 3 0 K So, it may be concluded that 155 kg P 2 O 5 /ha with 190 kg K 2 0. O/ha was found suitable for growth, flowering and bulb yield of tuberose.

DULAL An experiment was conducted at the Pomology Research Field. I-IRC of BAR!, Gazipur. Bangladesh during the period from September 2011 to February 2012 to evaluate the morphometric characterization of coconut germplasm. High diversity were observed in stem structure (0.97), pigmentation of leaf petiole (0.82), bole category (0.82), number of bunches per palm (0.79), girth at bole (0.77), girth at stem (0.77), length of II leaf sears (0.77), number of nuts per bunch (0.76) and number of nuts per palm (0.76). In the infloreseence, variation were high for duration of male phase (0.88), number of spikelets per infloreseence (0.85), length of central axis (0.84) while low diversity was observed in duration of female phase (0.47) and in crown shape (0.43). PCA revealed that days to spathe opening, days to male phase and number of nuts per palm contributed tbr 66.73% of the observed variation. Twenty seven entries of coconut were grouped into 7 clusters. The largest cluster VII included 9 palms, cluster VI, V and II included 8. 4 and 3 palms respectively while cluster 1. 111 and IV included I palm. The inter-cluster values were maximum in between clusters III and VII (82.455) while it was minimum in between 11 and IV (22.351). The intra-cluster distance was maximum in cluster VII (13.210) while the clusters I, III and IV showed no distance. So, the clusters between ill and VII could be used as germplasm for future breeding. A thcsis Submitted to the Dept. of liorticulture. Faculty of Agriculture Shcr-e-Bangla Agricultural University.
