Abstract
The experiment was conducted in the Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from December 2012 to May 2013 to know the effect of fertilizers and manures on the yield and nutrient concentration in BRRI dhan29. The experiment comprised eight levels of fertilizers plus manures, such as T0: Control, T1: N120P25K60S20Zn2 (Recommended dose), T2: 50% NPKSZn + 5 ton cowdung ha-1, T3: 70% NPKSZn + 3 ton cowdung ha-1, T4: 50% NPKSZn + 5 ton compost ha-1, T5: 70% NPKSZn + 3 ton compost ha-1, T6: 50% NPKSZn+ 3.5 ton poultry manure ha-1 and T7: 70% NPKSZn + 2.1 ton poultry manure ha-1 were used. At the harvest, the yield parameters and total yield were recorded. The yield contributing characters and yields were significantly affected by level of fertilizers and manures. The highest grain yield and straw yields were found from recommended dose of fertilizer though it was statistically similar to 70% NPKSZn+2.1 ton poultry manure/ha treatment and lowest in control treatment. The grain nutrient concentrations of BRRI dhan29 were significantly affected by the application of fertilizers and manures. The higher grain nutrient concentrations were found in the treatments where fertilizers were used in combination with poultry manure. The higher concentrations of grain K and S were found in the treatments where fertilizers were used in combination with poultry manure.
Keywords: Organic manures, fertilizers combination, BRRI Dhan29.
