| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment was conducted at the Crop Physiology and Ecology research
field of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University (HSTU),
Dinajpur during the period from July to November 2018 with a view to evaluated
the effect of foliar fertilizer application on the growth and yield of aman rice
(BINA Dhan-7). The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block
design (RCBD) with six treatments and four replications. The treatments were,
T0= Without fertilizer, T1=Recommended fertilizer doses (RDF), T2= Half of RDF
and American NPKS, T3= RDF and American NPKS, T4= Half of RDF and foliar
NK application, and T5= RDF and foliar NK application. Data were collected on
plant height, number of leaves per hill at different days after transplanting, leaf
area, SPAD value, number of tillers per hill at variety days after transplanting,
number of filled and unfilled grains per panicle, panicle length, 1000-grain
weight, grain yield per hill, grain and straw yields. Different fertilizer
management treatments had significant effects on most of the parameters.
Significantly higher plant height, leaf number, tillers per hill, leaf area, number of
tillers per hill, filled grains per panicle, panicle length and grain yield per hill due
to additional foliar spray of T3 (RDF and American NPKS) and T5 (RDF and
foliar NK application) were contributed to higher yield of rice. | en_US |
