Interaction Effect of Fertilizer and Manure on the Growth and Yield of T. Aman Rice in Different Soil

The experiment was conducted in the experimental area of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka during the period from June to November 2013 in aman season to find out effect of fertilizer and manure on the yield of T. Aman rice in different soil. BRRI dhan33 was used as the test crop in this experiment. The experiment comprised of two factors- Factors A: Soils from different location (soil from 2 locations), S1: SAU soil, S2: Shingair soil (collected from Shingair Manikgonj) an Factor B: Levels of fertilizers and manures (5 levels)- T0: Control condition i.e. no fertilizers and manures; T1: Recommended dose of fertilizer (N120P25K60S20Zn2), T2: 50% NPKSZn + 5 ton cow dung ha-1, T3: 50% NPKSZn + 5 ton compost ha-1 and T4: 50% NPKSZn + 3.5 ton poultry manure ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Due to the interaction of soil from different location and fertilizers and manure, the highest grain yield (134.97 g pot-1) was found from S2T4, whereas the lowest grain yield (32.03 g pot-1) was recorded from S1T0. Shingair soil and 50% NPKSZn + 3.5 ton poultry manure ha-1 performed better in relation to yield contributing characters and yield of BRRI dhan33.
