ABSTRACT
The effect of different doses of nitrogen in combination with cowdung (CD) on the growth and yield of Gimakalmi was investigated at the Horticulture Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Single factor experiment consisted of four nitrogen-cowdung treatment combinations, i.e., 0 kg N + 0 ton CD ha-1 (without nitrogen and CD), 25 kg N + 5 ton CD ha-1, 50 kg N + 10 ton CD ha-1 and 75 Kg N + 15 ton CD ha-1. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The results of the study revealed that higher doses of nitrogen with CD produced the tallest (30.22 cm), highest number of leaves and branches (160.64 and 21.81, respectively) plant-1, fresh weight leaves and foliage (49.96 g and 58.39 g, respectively) plant-1 as well as yield (6.92 ta ha-1 ha-1).
Key words: Nitrogen, cowdung, growth, yield and Gimakalmi (Ipomoea acquatica)
