| dc.description | Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) is one of the important pulse crops grown in Bangladesh.
In Bangladesh about 6.1 lac hectares of land are covered by pulses, which is 7.38
percent of the total cultivable land (BBS 2006). Out of this pulses coverage, about
17,000 hactres are covered by chickpea, with occupying third position (HBAT,
2006). Production of pulses had decreased during the past decade. It is a future
challenge for Bangladesh to better exploit the potential of pulse crops to meet the
country’s grain food requirement without endangering the environment. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | An experiment was conducted at a farmer’s field of Kazipara village under
Thakurgaon Sadar Upazila during 2006 to see the effect of Rhizobium,
molybdenum, boron and lime on chickpea (var. BARI Chola-5). Texturally the
soil was sandy loam having 4.75 p", 1.81 organic matter, 0.12 % total N), 51.1
ppm P, 22.6 ppm S and 1.1 ppm B contents. The highest plant height (17.1 cm),
number of nodules (3.67/plant), number of pods (43/plant) and seed yield (1.28
t/ha) were observed with the treatment containing all ie. TSP, boron, lime,
sodium molybdate and Rhizobium. Seed priming with water only (along with
TSP + borax) also showed better performances in producing plant height and
number of plants per plant. A major objective was to develop an application
method suitable for resource-poor farmers whether Mo and Rhizobium could be
added in the seed priming process. This trial confirmed that this was as effective
as soil application of Mo + Rhizobium giving significant yield response.
Economic evaluation suggested that the treatment consisting lime was suitable
for obtaining higher rate of return. The results further showed that liming is
necessary for chickpea cultivation in the Ruhea Soil Series of Thakurgaon
district. Further study is needed to achieve a definite conclusion. | en_US |
