In this experiment, the treatment consisted of two mungbean varieties viz. V 1 = BARI mung 4, V = = BARI mung 6 and four different concentration of Salicylic acid (SA) and CaSO viz. T 0 =control, T 1 =5 mMole CaSO4, T 2 =Salicylic acid 0.5 mMole, T =Salicylic acid 0.5mMole + 5 mMole CaSO4. The experiment was laid out in a two factors randomized complete block design (RCBD) design having three replications. Results showed that a significant variation was observed among the treatments in respect of majority of the observed parameters. The collected data were statistically analyzed for evaluation of the treatment effect. Variety and salicylic acid and CaSO had significant influence on growth, yield and yield components of mungbean. The tallest plant (60.40 cm) was obtained from BARI Mung-6 with Salicylic acid 0.5milimole + 5 mMole CaSO4. The highest number of leaves plant -1 4 (14.33), pod length (9.52 cm), number of pods plant -1 (30.07), number of seeds pod -1 (13.53), thousand seed weight (73.17 g) was obtained from BARI Mung-6 with Salicylic acid 0.5milimole + 5 mMole CaSO4. The lowest number of leaves plant -1 (9.13), pod length (6.25 cm), number of pods plant (22.60), number of seeds pod -1 (11.53), thousand seed weight (36.91 g) was obtained from BARI Mung-4 with control treatment. The highest seed yield ha -1 (1.93 ton) was obtained from BARI Mung-6 with Salicylic acid 0.5milimole + 5 mMole CaSO4 treatment combinations while the lowest seed yield (1.26 ton) was recorded from BARI Mung-4 with control treatment combination. The most of the parameters gave the best performance which was achieved from BARI Mung-6. Again, Salicylic acid 0.5milimole + 5 mMole CaSO4 showed the best performance regarding most of the yield and yield contributing parameters. In case of combined effect, BARI Mung-6 and Salicylic acid 0.5milimole + 5 mMole CaSO4 gave the best result considering yield and yield contributing parameters. 3 -1 2 4 4 A Thesis Submitted to the Department of Agricultural Botany Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN AGRICULTURAL BOTANY SEMESTER: JULY-DECEMBER/2017 2017-12-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/handle/123456789/3150 EFFECT OF GIBBERELLIC ACID ON MORPHO- PHYSIOLOGICAL ATTRIBUTES AND YIELD OF OKRA MOUSUMI, FARZANA ALAM The experiment was carried out in the experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka at the period of March to July 2017 to find the growth and yield of okra as influenced by different concentration of gibberellic acid. Seeds of BARI Dherosh 1 and Hybrid Variety were used as planting materials. The experiment consisted of two varieties of okra at levels of GA 3 (5 levels) as- G 0 (control), G 1 : 50 ppm GA 3 , G 2 : 100 ppm GA 3 , G 3 : 0 ppm GA 3 : 150 ppm GA 3 : 200 ppm GA 3 . The two factorial experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. In case of variety, the tallest plant 28.66, 82.48 and 128.95 cm, respectively was from V 1 variety at 20, 40 and 60 DAS, respectively. Variety V 2 performed the maximum (18.38) number of pods and the highest pod yield (14.23 t ha ). On the other hand, at 20 DAS, the tallest plant (31.13 cm) was observed from G 3 (150 ppm GA 3 ) and at 40 and 60 DAS, the tallest plant (90.76 and 135.1 cm, respectively) was observed from G 2 (100 ppm GA 3 ) was contributed by G 2 maximum (19.52) number of pods and the highest pod yield (16.18 t ha . In The highest pod yield 14.23(t ha -1 ) was recorded from the application of 100ppm of GA 3 in Hybrid Variety followed by the yield of BARI Dherosh 1 14.01(t ha -1 ) with 100ppm of GA 3 at optimum harvest date. Both varieties increased the yield of okra at 100ppm. So, 100ppm GA 3 is suitable for okra production. and G 4 - 1 ).

TANIA This experiment was carried out at the rooftop garden of the Department of Agricultural Botany, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU), Dhaka1207, Bangladesh from October 2017 to March 2018 to evaluate the response of tomato to different plant growing structures and composition of growing media in the rooftop garden. The experiment had two factors, factor A- two plant growing structures, viz., S 1 = Plastic pot, S 2 = Earthen pot and factor B- six different plant growing medium viz. M 0 =Soil 100% (w/w) + inorganic fertilizer (IF)/(control), M 1 =Soil 80% (w/w) + 20% cowdung (w/w) + IF, M 2 =Soil 70% (w/w) + 30% cowdung (w/w) + IF, M 3 =Soil 90% (w/w) + 10% vermicompost (w/w) + IF, M 4 =Soil 80% (w/w) + 20% vermicompost (w/w) + IF, M 5 =Soil 80% (w/w) + 10% cowdung (w/w) + 10% vermicompost (w/w) + IF. The factorial experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with four replications. The experimental results such as morphological and yield contributing characters and yield of tomato significantly influenced by different plant growing structures and various composition of plant growing media and also their combination. Considering plant growing structures, the plastic pot (S 1 ) gave the higher plant height, number of leaves plant , branch plant -1 , flower clusters plant -1 , flowers plant -1 , fruit length and fruit breadth. The maximum yield of fruits plant -1 (1.69 kg) was also obtained from plastic pot and the minimum yield of fruits plant -1 (1.46 kg) was obtained from earthen pot (S 2 ). The Soil 80% (w/w) + 10% cowdung (w/w) + 10% vermicompost (w/w) + IF marked as (M 5 ) had the highest plant height, number of leaves plant -1 , branch plant -1 , flower clusters plant -1 -1 , flowers plant , fruit length and fruit diameter. The maximum yield of fruits plant (2.17 kg) was recorded from the soil 80%(w/w) + 10% cowdung(w/w) + 10% vermicompost(w/w) ) + IF noted as (M 5 ) whereas the minimum yield was found from control or M 0 (Soil 100% (w/w) + inorganic fertilizers conditions. The highest yield of fruits plant -1 (2.15 kg) was obtained from the treatment combination of S 1 M 5 (plastic pot along with the soil 80% (w/w) + 10% cowdung (w/w) + 10% vermicompost (w/w) + IF), which is consistent of other parameters such as morphological and yield contributing characters of this study. The lowest yield of fruits plant -1 (0.99 kg) was obtained from the treatment combinations of S 2 M 0 (earthen pot along with the soil 100% (w/w) + inorganic fertilizer /control) which is dependable to other characters of this study. This experimental results suggest that plastic pot along with soil 80% -1 -1 (w/w) + 10% cowdung (w/w) + 10% vermicompost (w/w) + IF be able to increase the fruit yield of BARI tomato14 for rabi season in the rooftop garden under the climatic conditions of SAU.

A THESIS RAHMAN, AZIZUR The experiment was carried out at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Farm, Dhaka-1207, Bangladesh during Rabi season, November 2017 to February 2018 to find out the effect of different sowing methods and varieties on the yield of (Brassica campestris). The experiment comprised of two factors - the treatment consisted of four sowing methods viz. S 0 = Broadcast method, S = Line to line space 20 cm, S 2 = Line to line space 25 cm and S = Line to line space 30 cm and three different varieties viz. V 1 = BARI Sarisha 14, V 3 2 1 = BARI Sarisha 15 and V = BARI Sarisha 17. The experiment was laid out in two factors Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The collected data were statistically analyzed and a significant variation among the treatments was found in respect of majority of the observed parameters. The highest plant population was recorded from Broadcast method of sowing. The tallest plant was recorded from the plot of broadcast method. The maximum branches plant , dry matter weight plant -1 , siliqua plant -1 and seed silliqua -1 were recorded from the treatment line to line space 30 cm. The maximum thousand seed weight (2.97 g) was recorded from the broadcast method . The maximum yield of seed ha (1.11 t) was obtained from broadcast method. The highest plant population (77.25) was observed in case of BARI Sarisha 14. The tallest plant of mustard was found in case of with BARI Sarisha 15. The maximum branches plant -1 , dry matter weight plant -1 , siliqua plant -1 , seed silliqua -1 , and length of silliqua were obtained from BARI Sarisha 15. The highest yield of seed (0.95 t/ha) was obtained from BARI Sarisha 15. The combinations of different sowing methods and different varieties had significant effect on almost all the parameters. The highest biological yield per hectare (5.08 tones) was obtained from broadcast method with BARI Sarisha 15 treatment combination. -1 -1 3 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL BOTANY SHER-E-BANGLA AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY DHAKA -1207 2017-12-01T00:00:00Z
