Fertilizer for Maximum Output and Growth of BJRI Tossa Pat-8

Abstract

Fertilizing in a balanced way promotes crop quality and soil health as well as crop growth and production. This study was conducted to determine the best approach of fertilization for jute production in Bangladesh in the experimental fields under Bangladesh Jute Research Institute. A randomized block design with three replications was used to set up the experiment, which included ten fertilizer treatments. The treatments were: T1 – control (no fertilization), T2- 50:10:30:20 kg N:P:K:S ha-1, T3- 100:10:30:20 kg N:P:K:S ha-1, T4- 150:10:30:20 kg N:P:K:S ha-1, T5- 100:5:30:20 kg N:P:K:S ha-1, T6- 100:15:30:20 kg N:P:K:S ha-1, T7- 100:10:60:20 kg N:P:K:S ha-1, T8- 100:10:90:20 kg N:P:K:S ha-1, T9- 100:10:60:10 kg N:P:K:S ha-1, T10- 100:10:90:30 kg N:P:K:S ha-1. The purpose of this study was to determine what nutrition BJRI Tossa pat-8 need for optimal growth and yield. The results indicated significant effect on yield and yield contributing characters over control with different NPK and S levels of BJRI Tossa Pat-8. The highest fibre and stick yield were obtained by the combination dose of N100 Kg ha-1 with 10:60:20 kg P:K:S ha-1. The plant height, base diameter also found highest with the same treatment of fertilizer combination. Therefore this combination (T7- 100:10:60:20 kg N: P: K: S ha-1) seemed to be optimum for good growth and high potential for BJRI Tossa Pat-8 for fibre production in Bangladesh.
