Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of nitrogen (N) and
sulphur (S) on yield and yield components of rapeseed (BARI Sarisha-14) at
Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Farm, Dhaka-1207 during November,
2015 to February, 2016. The experiment was consisted of four levels of
nitrogen viz., N
0
= 0 kg ha
-1
(control), N
1
= 60 kg ha
-1
, N
2
= 120 kg ha
=
180 kg ha
-1
;
and four levels of sulphur i.e., S
0
= 0 kg ha
-1
(control), S
= 15 kg
ha
-1
, S
2
= 30 kg ha
-1
, S
3
= 45 kg ha
-1
. Levels of N and S showed significant
effect on yield and yield contributing characters of BARI Sarisha-14. Results
showed that application of 120 kg N ha
-1
with 45 kg S ha
-1
gave the maximum
yield. Results also revealed that the highest plant height, number of branches
plant
-1
, number of siliquae plant
-1
, siliqua length, number of seeds siliqua
,
1000-seed weight, seed yield, stover yield, biological yield and harvest index
were obtained from the combination of 120 kg N with 45 kg S ha
-1
.
