Abstract:
The experiment was carried out at the Soil Science Farm at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural
University, Dhaka during the period of November, 2018 to May 2019 to study the effect of
different rates and dates 'of mustard oil cake application on growth and yield of rice (BRRJ
dhan67). The experiment was laid out on Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) ,
with three replications, There were four mustard oil cake (MOC) fertilizer levels, viz"
Mr=no mustard oil cake, M2=25 kg ha", M3=50 kg ha-l, M4=75 kg ha" and three time of
application viz., Tj=Basal dose, T2=20 DAT, and T3=35 DAT, Mustard oil cake was top
dressed in three equal splits at 10, 35 and 55 DAT, Results indicated that the effect of
mustard oil cake showed significant variation in respect of all growth, yield contributing
characters and yield, At harvest, highest plant height (81.66cm), tillers hill-] (21.55),
effective tillers hill-] (14.22), panicle Jength (21,:87cm), filled grains panicle" (132.1),
1000 grain Weight (29.35 g), grain yield ( 8.2 t ha-\ straw yield (5.16 tha") was obtained
from the application of MOC, Onthe other hand, highest plant height (81.67cm), tillers
hill-] (21.42), effective tillers hill-l (14,58), panicle length (22.84cm), filled grains panicle"
(132,24), 1000 grain weight (29.35 g), grain yield ( 7.6 t ha"), straw yield ( 5.'] 5t ha")
was obtained from the time of application .. Mustard 011 cake @ 75 kg gave the highest
grain yield (7.6 t ha"). Interaction effect showed that application of MOC @75 kg
application in 75 days after application gave the highest (9.9 t ha") grain yield. Therefore,
application of MOC .® 75 kg ha-1 at 35 DAT appears to be the best package for BRRl
dhan67 produced higher yield,
