EFFECT OF FOLIAR AND SOIL APPLICATION OF NUTRIENTS ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD PERFORMANCE OF BRRiIdhan 28

Abstract

An experiment was conducted at the research field of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur during Boro season of 2013-2014 with a view to examining the effect of foliar fertilization and nitrogen levels on performance of BRRIdhan 28 and reduce soil application of nitrogenous fertilizer. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design with three replications. Two levels of foliar fertilization- no foliar fertilization (Fy) and foliar fertilization with magic growth (F;) were placed in the main plots as main plot treatments whereas four nitrogen fertilizer levels (0, 50, 75 and 100% of the recommended nitrogen fertilizer) were placed randomly in the sub plots as sub plot treatments.
