RASHID, MD. MAMUNUR
The experiment was conducted in the fish pond through determine the effect of
gibberellic acid and vermicompost on okra production during July to October 2019 at
the fish pond near Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University,
Dhaka. The experiment was consisted of two factors; Factor A: GA3viz. (i) Go; 0 ppm
GA3 (control) and (ii) GI; 100 ppm GA3 and Factor B: Vermicompost viz. (i) Yo; 0%
vermicompost + 90% coco peat + 10% broken bricks + dissolved nutrients of fish
pond water (control), (ii) VI; 20% vermicompost +70% coco peat + 10% broken
bricks + dissolved nutrients of fish pond water and (iii) V2; 40%vermicompost + 50%
coco peat + 10% broken bricks + dissolved nutrients of fish pond water. The
experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD). In terms of GA3
application, the highest fruit yield (405.66"g plant") was found from GI whereas the
lowest fruit yield (336.03 g plant") was found from Go. Regarding vermicompost, V2
showed higher growth and yield attributes which resulted the highest fruit yield
(421.00 g plant") whereas the lowest fruit yield (303.80 g plant") was found from Yo.
Considering interaction effect, GJV2 showed highest fruit yield (470.10 g plant")
whereas the lowest fruit yield (290.60 g plant") was found from GoVo. So, the
treatment combination of GIV2 can be treated as the best among all the treatment
combinations.

YASMIN, SABINA
Crop specific nutrient solution is important for higher yield in hydroponic system.
Therefore the experiment was conducted at the Hydroponic Farm of the Horticulture
farm is Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh to identify
suitable strength of nutrient solution to get higher yield in Bangladesh. Two factors
were used as treatments in this experiment viz, variety and nutrient solution. Three
varieties, viz. V

and Arnon (1940) nutrient solution were used in this experiment .The experiment
was conducted in a completely randomized block design with three replications.
Different strength of nutrient solution and different variety of rockmelon showed
significant variation in most of the parameters studied. The highest plant height
(7.68, 25.60, 37.78, and 54.11 cm) the maximum number of leaves/plant (9.16,
23.91, 31.10 and 50.12), the maximum number of shoots per plant (4.51, 3.56
and4.39), the maximum number of fruit/plant (4.99), individual fruit weight
(1537gm), fruit length (14.78), fruit diameter (52.88cm) and yield per plant (2.48 kg)
were found the highest in S

. And also all the parameters were found the highest in
V

. But all the parameters were drastically reduced when S
treatment was applied
and also reduced V

AKTER, SARMIN
A pot experiment was conducted at the central farm of the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka during December 2018 to March, 2019. This study aimed to evaluate
the effect of growing media and watering frequencies on the growth, yield and quality
attributes of carrot. The experiment consisted of two factors: Factor A: four growing
media, viz., M
1
-cocopeat, M
2
- sawdust, M
3
- rice husk, M
4
- equal mixture of cocopeat,
sawdust and rice husk and Factor B: different watering frequencies viz., W
1
- one day
interval @ 200 ml, W
2
- two days interval @ 300 ml, W
3
- three days interval @ 400 ml,
W
4
- four days interval @ 500 ml. There were 16 (4×4) treatments combination. The
experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with four replications.
The experimental results showed maximum parameters were significantly influenced
by different growing media and watering level. For growing media, the highest plant
height (47.17 cm) at 100 DAS, number of leaves (12.31) at 100 DAS, length of root
(12.25 cm), root diameter (20.25 mm), fresh weight of root (54.85 g), dry matter content
of leaves (17.79 %), brix (10.57 %), β- carotene (9098.1 μg/100g) and moisture
(86.01%) was obtained from M
1
and the lowest from M
4
. For watering level, the
maximum plant height (53.92 cm) at 100 DAS, number of leaves (12.98), at 100 DAS,
length of root (12.06 cm), root diameter (21.50 mm), fresh weight of root (55.83 g),
brix (10.20%), β- carotene (9347.9 μg/100g) and moisture (86.59%) was recorded from
W
2
and the lowest from W3. For combined effect, the maximum plant height (56.51
cm) at 100 DAS, number of leaves (13.46) at 100 DAS, length of root (13.52 cm), root
diameter (23.81 mm), fresh weight of root (67.42 g), brix (11.20%), β- carotene (9884.4
μg/100g) and moisture (87.11%) was obtained from M

W
2
and the minimum from
M

TANIA, MST. MARIUM
A field experiment was conducted in the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during October 2019 to March 2020 to
study the effects of nitrobenzene on plant growth, flowering, fruit setting and yield of
cucumber. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design
(RCBD) with three replications. It was consisted with two factors viz. i.
Concentrations of Nitrobenzene (F
0
= control, F
1
= Nitrobenzene @ 500ppm, F
2
=
Nitrobenzene @ 600ppm, F
3
= Nitrobenzene @ 700ppm), ii. Application Methods
(T
1
= Foliar Application, T
2
= Soil Application, T
3
= Combined i.e. Foliar + Soil
Application). A statistically significant variation was recorded in terms of all the
characters related to growth and yield of cucumber. Maximum vine length (175.65
cm) at harvest was found in F
2
treatment and minimum (124.44 cm) was found in F
0
treatment. Nitrobenzene concentration of 600ppm showed better vine growth than
concentration of 500ppm and 700ppm. However, the maximum number of leaves
(71.36), branches (12.02), female flower (25.61), fruit per plant (18.22), fruit weight
(169.09 g) and yield (34.43 t/ha) were recorded from F
2
and F
3
treatment. The
minimum values of the same parameters were observed in F
0
treatment or control.
The minimum yield (14.71 Kg/plot) was found in T
2
and maximum yield (16.16
Kg/plot) was found in T
3
treatment. In the combination of nitrobenzene concentration
and application method, the maximum yield (36.90 t/ha) was found in F
2
treatment
and lowest yield (19.90 t/ha) was recorded in F
0
T
3
treatment. The second highest
(35.49 t/ha) yield was obtained from F
3
T
3
treatment. The highest benefit cost ratio
(2.632) was attained from the treatment combination of F
2
T
3
(nitrobenzene @
600ppm with combined application) treated plants.
