Abstract
To assess the effects of Stalwart Nano Product (SNP2) and a commercial fungicide (Carbendazim) on the growth and yield of two Boro rice types, an experiment was carried out at the farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, between December 2019 and May 2020. Two rice varieties (BRRI dhan28 and BRRI dhan63) and water, nanoproducts, the Nanoproduct with or without Carbendazim [07 levels of which were denoted by T0 – controlled (only water); T1 – Carbendazim @ 2g L-1; T2 –SNP2 @ 1.0 ml L-1; T3 – SNP2 @ 2.0 ml L-1; T4 –SNP2 @ 3.0 ml L-1; T5 – Carbendazim @ 2g L-1+ SNP2 @ 1.0 ml L-1 and T6 – Carbendazim @ 2g L-1+ SNP2 @ 2.0 ml L-1] were considered as factors of the experiment. The maximum dry matter accumulation (g) and a similar number of tillers per hill, effective tiller (%), and non–effective tiller (%) demonstrated that BRRI dhan63 had a better economic yield (6.11 t ha-1) and biological yield (11.82 t ha-1) than BRRI dhan28. The reverse finding was found for plant height (cm), indicating that plant height does not influence economic yieldas well as biological yield as an individual effect of varieties. T5 had the highest economic yield (5.74 t ha-1) based on plant height (cm), most effective tiller (%), and lowest non-effective tillers (%). T5 and T3 also had the highest biological production. However, BRRI dhan63 treated with T5 had the highest economic yield (6.35 t ha-1) in the event of combined treatment effects due to the highest effective tiller percentage. Results also revealed that using the Nano product and Carbendazim boosted both growth and yield compared to the control treatment (T0) in both varieties under study.
Key Words: Rice, Nanoproduct, Carbendazim, Growth and Yield.
