The experiment was conducted at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU) farm, Dhaka
during the period from march 2021 to July 2021 in order to effect of Zn and B on the growth
and yield of okra (BARI dheros 2). The experiment consisted of two factors: Factor A: Zn
application as (i) Zn
0
: 0 kg Zn ha
-1
(ii) Zn
1
: 3 kg Zn ha

as soil application (iii) Zn
: 3 kg Zn

(ii) B
as
soil application (iii) B
2
: 2 kg B ha
-1
as foliar application. The experiment was laid out in a
Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Data on the growth,
yield contributing characters and yield were recorded statistically significant variation in
results was observed between the treatments. In terms of Zn effect, the highest plant height
(167 cm), number of leaves plant
-1
(44.8) and number of branches plant
(3.78) were
observed in Zn
2
(3 kg Zn ha

as foliar application) treatment. Again the highest number of
fruits (26.9), yield (14 t ha

In terms of B effect, the highest plant height (156 cm), number of leaves plant
(47) and
number of branches plant
-1
(3.83), numbers of fruits plant
-1
(27.2) and yield (11.8 t ha
) were
recorded with B

fertilizer application on yield showed statistically significant variation compared with control.
The highest plant height (180 cm), number of leaves plant

MIR, MD. RAJU
The experiment was undertaken at the field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University,
during rabi season (October to March) of 2020-21 to growth and yield of mustard as
influenced by different levels of potassium and zinc (brassica campestris). In this
experiment, the treatment consisted of three different K levels viz. K
0
=
55 kg ha
-1
and K
2
= 65 kg ha
-1
and three different level of Zn viz. Zn
0
viii
= 0 kg ha
= 0 kg ha

1.5 kg ha

and Zn

=2.5 kg ha

. The experiment was laid out in two factors Randomized
Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. There are 9 treatment
combinations of different level of potassium and Zinc. The seeds were sown at the
rate of 7 kg ha
-1
. The highest plant height, number of leaves per plant, number of
branches per plant, length of siliquae, number of siliquae per plant, number of seed
per siliquae, thousand seed weight, yield of seed per hectare (1.63 t) was obtained
from 65 kg ha
-1
K. The highest plant height, number of siliquae per plant, thousand
seed weight, seed yield (1.45 t) was recorded along with 2.5 kg ha
-1
Zn. The interaction
between different levels of K and Zn was significantly influenced on almost all
morphological parameters and yield contributing characters including seed yield. The
maximum value of morphological parameters, yield contributing characters and seed
yield of mustard were observed with treatment T
9
(the combined dose of 65 kg ha
K
along with 2.5 Kg ha
-1
Zn) whereas the lowest values were obtained from treatment 1
(control condition, 0 kg/ha K and 0 kg ha
-1
Zn treatment combination). The maximum
yield of seed per hectare (1.67 t) was obtained from T
9
(65 kg ha
-1
-1
K with 2.5 Kg ha
Zn
treatment combination). The highest Stover yield and biological yield was recorded
from T
9
(65 kg ha

Zn). T
8
(combination of 65 kg ha
K with 1.5 Kg

RANI, PRIA
The experiment was conducted during December 2020 to June 2021 in the farm of Shere-Bangla
Agricultural University to study the effect of micronutrient zinc on the
performance of rice varieties. The experiment consisted of two factors: Factor A: two
varieties viz. V
1
(BRRI dhan84) and V
2
(BRRI dhan88) and Factor B: eight Zn treatments
viz. T
1
(STB-RD; N, P, K, S, Zn @ 83, 15, 56, 13.5 and 2.7 kg ha

), T
2
without Zn), T

application) and T
8
(control/native supply of nutrients; no nutrient was applied). The
experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three
replications. Between two varieties, V
2
(BRRI dhan88) gave best performance on
different parameters and gave maximum grain yield (5.62 t ha
-1
(T
1
) in comparison to V
1
(BRRI dhan84). This variety also showed maximum nutrient content (organic carbon, P
and S) in post harvest soil. Among different treatments, T
4
(T
1
+ 2.7 kg ha
+
100% higher Zn applied as soil application) showed best performance on different growth
and yield parameters and gave maximum grain yield (7.12 t ha
-1
) and also showed higher
nutrients content (P, K and S) in post harvest soil compared to other treatments. Among
different treatment combinations of variety and zinc, V
2
T
4
gave the maximum number of
tillers hill

(17.55), number of effective tillers hill

(16.11), panicle length (27.34 cm),
number of filled grains panicle

), straw yield (8.47 t ha
(BRRI

T

(BRRI dhan88 × T

combinations.

RASHID, MD. HARUN AR
An experiment was carried out at the research field of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka-1207 during the period
from October 2020 to April 2021 to find out the effect of different levels of
sulphur and boron fertilizer doses on the growth and yield of BARI Tomato-2.
The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design
(RCBD) having twelve treatments with three replications. The unit plot size
was 6 m
2
. A total of 12 treatments combination of Sulphur and Boron were
distributed randomly in individual plots and total number of plots was 36. The
maximum plant height (84.50 cm), number of branches plant
-1
(9.73), number
of leaves (147.67), number of cluster plant
-1
(8.30), number of fruits cluster
(4.30), diameter of a fruit plant

(17.68 cm), number of fruits plant
(37.45),
weight of fruits plant
-1
(2.48 kg) and yield (89.49 t ha
-1

) were observed from T
(S
22kg/ha
+ B
1kg/ha
) treatment. On the other hand, the minimum plant height (66.67
cm), number of branches plant
-1
(7.07), number of leaves (113.40), number of
cluster plant
-1
(8.07), number of fruits cluster

-1
-1
(3.70), diameter of a fruit (16.13
(25.21), weight of fruits plant
-1
(1.54 kg) and yield
(46.33 t ha
-1
) were observed from T
treatment that was control. The results of
the present investigation revealed that tomato can be grown successfully at the
use of 22 kg ha
-1
of sulphur and 1 kg ha
1
-1
of boron. The findings of the present
investigation clearly indicated that the efficient use of sulphur and boron doses
is a viable option for increasing the production of tomato
