The experiment was conducted at the farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka during the period from December 2017 to February 2018 to
study the growth, yield and seed viability of french bean varieties as influenced
by vermicompost. Two factors viz. three french bean varieties; V

MORSHED, MIRZA GOLAM
A field experiment with BARI Piaz-1 was conducted in the research farm of Shere-Bangla
Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka, during the winter
season (October to February) to investigate the performance of boron and calcium.
The experiment was carried out with four levels of boron viz. B
(500ppm), B
2
(1000ppm) and B
3
0
(0ppm), B
(2000ppm); and three level of calcium viz. C
(0ppm), C
1
(2500ppm) and C
(5000ppm). This experiment was laid out in RCBD
(Randomized Complete Block Design) with three replications and 12 treatment
combinations. The results showed that the treatments significantly influenced the
plant height and number of leaves at all growth stages except harvesting time. At
harvest boron and calcium significantly increased the umbel plot

, fruits umbel

, fruit set (%), yield plant

-1
, flowers umbel
, yield per plot, 1000-seed weight, yield

, germination percentage and normal seedling percentage; and reduced the
abnormal seedling percentage. Combined application of boron and calcium also
significantly increased the all above parameters mentioned except abnormal
seedling percentage of onion. The highest result of all parameters showed in
above excluding abnormal seedling percentage from B
3
(2000ppm) and C
(5000ppm) treatment. B
3
and C
treatment reduced production of abnormal
seedling. Among the combined treatment of boron and calcium B
2
(2000ppm
boron and 5000ppm calcium) gave the highest plant height, leaf number and
chlorophyll content. But after reviewing the combined effects of both treatments,
application of 2000 ppm of boron together with 5000 ppm of calcium (B
)
treatment gave the best performance showing the yield and quality of onion seed.

VASHANI, MD. JUBYDUR RAHMAN
The experiment was conducted at the research farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka, Bangladesh during Boro
season from December 2016 to May 2017 to study the influence of nitrogen
and phosphorus levels on yield and seed quality of rice. The experiment
comprised as two factors, i.e. different fertilizer doses i.e. F
0
= No fertilizer, F
1
= 50% less than recommended dose of fertilizer, F
2
= 25% less than
recommended dose of fertilizer, F
3
= Recommended dose of fertilizer, F
4
=25%
more than recommended dose of fertilizer, F
5
= 50% more than recommended
dose of fertilizer, F
6
= 75% higher than recommended dose of chemical
fertilizer; and two varieties i.e. V
1
= BRRI dhan28, V
2
= BRRI dhan74. The
experiment was conducted following split plot design with three replications.
The result revealed that fertilizer dose F
4
(25% higher than recommended dose)
gave highest plant height (91.24 cm), effective tillers hill
-1
(11.96), panicle
length (19.70 cm), 1000 grains weight (29.42 g) and grain yield (6.91 t ha
).
On the other hand, V
1
(BRRI dhan28) was superior by producing tallest plant
(90.58 cm) which may be attribute the highest grain yield (5.96 t ha
).
Interaction of F
4
V
1
was also superior in producing the highest yield (7.53 t ha1).
In case of seeds quality aspect, F
4
(25% higher than recommended dose)
fertilizer dose gave the highest germination percentage (92.66%), shoot length
(17.55 cm), root length (8.80 cm), shoot dry weight (20.86 mg) and root dry
weight (14.60 mg). The variety V
2
gave highest germination percentage
(87.42%), shoot length (16.58 cm), root length (8.75 cm), shoot dry weight
(18.95 mg) and root dry weight (16.56 mg). From the result, it can be
concluded that F
4
(25% higher than recommended dose) and V
2
(BRRI
dhan28) most suitable for yield and seed quality.
