The high cost of transportation fuels and the environmental risks associated with acquiring and using nonrenewable energy sources have created a demand for developing renewable bioenergy crops. Switchgrass ( L.), a warm-season perennial grass, is a promising feedstock due to its high biomass production under a wide range of growing conditions and its satisfactory forage quality and chemical com...

A field experiment was conducted to study the response of wheat and rice to potassium during 2004-05. The basal dose of N at 120 kg, P2O5 at 90 kg ha -1 was applied with K levels to both wheat and rice crops. Wheat variety Naseer 2000 and rice variety IRRI 6 were used in the study. The experiment was carried out in R.C.B design with three replications. Potassium application significantly increa...

An experiment was conducted at the research field of Tuber Crop Research Centre (TCRC) of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur during the winter of 2006-2007 to determine the effects of cutting methods and seed size on the yield and profitability in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). It was observed that the foliage coverage, plant height, stems/hill, number and weight of tubers/plan...

The experiment was conducted in the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University research farm, Dhaka, Bangladesh during December 2010 to April 2011 to study the effect of fertilizer and manure with different water management on the growth, yield and nutrient concentration of BRRI dhan28. The experiment consisted of 2 factors i.e. irrigation and fertilizer plus manure. There were 2 irrigation levels (...

In calcareous soils, wheat productivity is much lower due to improper nutrient management, especially phosphorus (P). Therefore, this study was conducted manage P availability from various organic (Control, FYM and Sugar cane straw applied at the rate of 10 ton ha?1) inorganic 100% rock phosphate (RP), 50% acidulated RP, single super (SSP) diammonium (DAP)) sources 90 kg P2O5 ha?1 in soil while...
