Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to study the effect of spacing and phosphorous
on the growth and yield of brinjal at the central farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka, during the period of September 2007 to March
2008. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design
(RCBD) with three replications to investigate the growth and yield of brinjal cv
"Kajia". The experiment was conducted with two factors; Factor A: Three
Spacing i.e. S
1
= 75 cm
x
50 cm. S2
= 75 cm
x
60 cm, S3
= 75 cm
x
70 cm and
Factor B: Four levels of Phosphorous i.e. P0= Control. P
1
= 70 kg P,O
çfha, P
2 =
90 kg P
205
/ha and P3
= 110 kg P
205
/ha. in case of Plant spacing, the highest
yield (54.08 tiha) was recorded from the spacing S
2
and the lowest yield (50.64
t/ha) was from S3
. In case of Phosphorous, the maximum yield (53.87 tiha) was
obtained from P
2
and the minimum yield (49.54 tlha) was from 1
30. For
combined effect, the highest yield (60.02 tlha) was observed from the treatment
combination of S
2P2
. It may be concluded that 75 cm
kg P
205
/ha is best for the growth and yield of brinjal cv "Kajia".
