Enhancement of growth and yield of broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. italica) through different doses of potassium and zinc
Abstract
To assess the effect of potassium and zinc on growth and yield of broccoli an experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm, Bangladesh Agricultural University, during the period from November 2017 to February 2018. The experiment consisted of four doses of potassium (K), Viz. K0: 0 (Control), K1: 50 kg, K2: 70 kg and K3: 100 kg per hectare and four doses of Zinc (Zn), Viz, Zn0: 0 (Control), Zn1: 1 Kg, Zn2: 2 Kg and Zn3: 3 Kg per hectare, respectively. The two-factor experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The results of the experiment revealed that plant height, primary curd diameter, primary curd weight, secondary curd weight, stem diameter, yield per hectare were significantly increased by different levels of Potassium (100 kg/ha), gave the best result on plant height (47.48 cm), primary curd diameter (13.76 cm), primary curd weight (228.86 gm), weight of secondary curd (36.37 gm) stem diameter (3.49 cm), yield per plant (265.23 gm), yield per plot 3.18 kg and yield per hectare (13.26 ton). The highest level of zinc (3 kg/ha) produced the best result on plant height (45.13 cm), plant spread (39.99 cm), primary curd diameter (214.39 g), secondary curd weight (32.55 g), stem diameter (3.21 cm), yield per plant (246.94 g), yield per plot (2.96 kg) and yield per hectare (12.35 t). The combined treatment of 100 kg potassium and 3 kg zinc per hectare produced the highest weight of primary curd (276.04 gm), yield per plot (3.78 kg) and yield per hectare (15.75 t). The lowest weight of primary curd (141.98 g), yield per plot (1.70 kg) and yield per hectare (7.08t) were obtained from no application of potassium and zinc at harvest. Considering the above findings, applications of 100 kg potassium with 3 kg zinc per hectare appeared to be suitable for growth and yield of broccoli.
Key Words: Enhancement, Potassium; Zinc; broccoli; Curd; Growth and Yield.

Weed management and yield performance of T. Aman rice as influenced by Artocarpus heterophyllus leaf residues
Abstract
The emergence of herbicide-resistant weeds and environmental concerns about synthetic pesticides have significantly developed alternative weed management techniques. Allelopathy has the largest yield potential of any weed control strategy and has no adverse environmental effects, making it the best option. To investigate the allelopathic effects of Artocarpus heterophyllus leaf residues on weed management and the yield performance of T. aman rice, the current experiment was set up at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, from July to December 2021. Three rice varieties, BRRI Dhan34, Kalizira, and Nizershail, as well as three residual treatments of A. heterophyllus leaves, 0, 1.0, and 2.0 t ha-1, were used in the field experiment. The grain yields in BRRI Dhan34 were the highest at 5.00 t ha-1, while those in Nizershail were the lowest at 4.13 t ha-1). Applying A. heterophyllus leaf residue at a rate of one t ha-1 resulted in the greatest number of effective tillers hill-1, number of grain panicle-1, 1000-grain weight, and grain and straw yield. Applying residue from A. heterophyllus leaves at a rate of one t ha-1 resulted in the maximum grain yield (7.06 t ha-1) for BRRI dhan34. Based on study results, A. heterophyllus residue considerably impacts T. aman rice yield and can limit weed growth. The remainder of A. heterophyllus may be utilized to manage weeds efficiently and sustainably while cultivating crops.
