Abstract
A study was conducted in Monirampur upazila under Jashore district from July to December 2017 to collect information on comparative availability of different boron fertilizers in order to aid the assessment of nutrient status for quality. For this purpose, information was collected from 54 randomly selected fertilizer shops (20 BCIC fertilizer dealers and 34 retailers) through questionnaire interview. Total 37 nature (19 Solubor, 16 Boric acid and 2 Fertibor) of boron fertilizer marketed by 33 companies were found in the upazila. A few marketed boron was found higher in the shop, availability is not adequate. Five percent of Solubor and six percent of Boric acid mentioned no registration number. Twenty six percent solubor brands were in both 100 gram and 500 gram packet where same registration number was used for both sized packed of an individual sample studied. There was a significant difference between highest and lowest MRP of imported Solubor for both 100 and 500 gram packet as well as supplied and imported type of Boric acid.
Key Words: Jashore, Boron fertilizers, Random sample test, Availability and Quality
