| dc.description | I would like to express my ever gratefulness and endless praises to the ‘Almighty
God’ Who has enabled me to carry out this piece of research work and present
the thesis for the degree of Master of Science (M.S.) in Soil Science.
With profound pleasure and privilege, I would like to express my deepest sense of
gratitude and indebtedness to my honorable teacher and supervisor Professor
Dr. A.K.M. Mosharof Hossain, Department of Soil Science, Hajee Mohammad
Danesh Science and Technology University (HSTU), Dinajpur for his constant
and scholastic guidance, untiring assistance, valuable suggestion, continuous
inspiration and immense help throughout the tenure of this research work and
preparation of this thesis.
Deep appreciation and profound regards to my co-supervisor Md. Mizanur
Rahman, Professor Department of Soil Science, Hajee Mohammad Danesh
Science and Technology University (HSTU), Dinajpur for his valuable guidance,
untiring supervision, cordial support, high encouragement and co-operation in
carrying out research and preparing the thesis.
I also express my respect and thankfulness to all teachers of the Department of
Soil Science, HSTU, Dinajpur for their good advices and co-operation during the
period of this study.
Finally, I express my gratefulness and deepest appreciation to my beloved parents
and friends for their blessings, immeasurable sacrifice, endless prayer and
continuous inspirations throughout my academic life to reach me this level of
higher education. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | An experiment was conducted in the Soil Science Research Field of Hajee
Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University (HSTU), Dinajpur
during the period of November 2016 to February 2017 in order to investigate the
effects of different levels of zinc (Zn) and poultry manure (PM) on the yield and
yield attributes of mustard (BARI sarisha 15). Twelve fertilizers treatments were
applied where different levels of Zn and PM were applied on mustard. The
common dose of N, P, K, S and Zn was applied in all the treatments which were
T1 = PM0Zn0, T2 = PM0Zn3, T3 = PM0Zn6, T4 = PM0Zn9, T5 = PM5Zn0, T6 = PM5Zn3,
T7 = PM5Zn6, T8 = PM5Zn9, T9 = PM10Zn0, T10 = PM10Zn3, T11= PM10Zn6,
T12 = PM10Zn9. The experimental results revealed that plant height, branches
plant-1, pod number, pod length, 1000-seeds weight, seed yield and stover yield
were significantly influenced with the application of Zn and PM. The highest
plant height (95.87 cm), maximum number of branches (10.20) was observed in
T7 treatment and the lowest plant height (90.18cm) and minimum number of
branches (7.40) was found in the control treatment (T1). In the case of number of
pod the highest (81.33) was found in the treatment T7 but the lowest (63.87) was
observed in the treatment T1. Seed yield and stover yield of mustard were
significantly influenced with the application of Zn along with PM also. It was
found that the application of 6 kg Zn ha-1 with 5 t PM ha-1 produced the highest
seed (1260.0 kg ha-1) and stover yield (631.3 kg ha-1). Whereas, the control
treatment produced the lowest seed (693.2 kg ha-1) and stover yield (379.6 kg ha 1
). The findings of the study showed that the performance of the treatment T7 was
the best among the different treatments in respects of plant height, branches plant-1
,
number of pod plant-1, seed yield and stover yield of mustard. Therefore, 6 kg Zn
ha-1 with 5 t PM ha-1 may be recommended for mustard cultivation after trailing
the experiment in the different Agro-Ecological Zone (AEZ). | en_US |
