Response of nitrogen and potassium fertilization on the growth performance of aromatic Boro rice
Abstract
An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, during December 2017 to May 2018 to study growth performance of aromatic Boro rice (cv. BRRI dhan50) in response to nitrogen and potassium fertilization. The experiment consisted of four levels of nitrogen viz., 0, 50, 100 and 150 kg ha-1, and four levels of potassium viz., 0, 30, 60 and 90 kg ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results revealed that nitrogen and potassium fertilization and their interaction exerted significant influence on growth performance of BRRI dhan50. Application of 100 kg N ha-1 produced the tallest plant (82.17 cm), the highest number of tillers hill-1 (10.08) and chlorophyll content (52.21) at heading stage. While, application of 90 kg K ha-1 produced the tallest plant (81.44 cm) at physiological maturity stage, the highest number of tillers hill-1 (9.66) and chlorophyll content (51.54) at heading stage. In case of interaction, the tallest plant (85.33 cm), the highest number of tillers hill-1 (10.83) and chlorophyll content (58.28) were obtained from 100 kg N ha-1 along with 90 kg K ha-1 at heading stage. Therefore, application of 100 kg N ha-1 along with 90 kg K ha-1 interaction appeared as the promising practice in aromatic rice (cv. BRRI dhan50) cultivation in terms of growth performance.
