Effect of micronutrients on growth and yield of transplant Amam rice under calcareous soil environment
Abstract
Two field experiments were conducted during the Kharif season (July-November 2014) at the Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), BARI, Iswardi, Pabna, Bangladesh, to evaluate the effect of micronutrients on the growth and yield of transplant Aman rice (cv. BU dhan-1 and BRRI dhan-52) under calcareous soil conditions. The experiments included eight treatments: T1 = Control, T2 = Zn, T3 = Cu, T4 = B, T5 = ZnCu, T6 = ZnB, T7 = CuB, and T8 = ZnCuB, arranged in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The experimental soil was silty clay loam, moderately fertile, and part of Agro-Ecological Zone (AEZ-11). Fertilizer application included a split dose of urea (applied at transplanting, 25 DAT, and 45 DAT), with boric acid (2 g/L) sprayed at 25, 40, and 55 DAT. Data analysis using MSTAT-C revealed that micronutrient treatments significantly improved rice growth and yield. The ZnCuB treatment recorded the highest plant height (132.36 cm in BU dhan-1 and 129.44 cm in BRRI dhan-52), maximum effective tillers per hill (statistically similar to ZnB), and the longest panicle length (32.23 cm in BU dhan-1 and 30.74 cm in BRRI dhan-52). These results underscore the potential of ZnCuB as an optimal micronutrient combination for enhancing rice productivity in calcareous soils.
