Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm, Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from Novembre 2011 to January
2012. In experiment, the treatment consisted of four organic manures viz. OM
:
no organic manure, OM
1
: Cowdung, OM
2
: Poultry manure, OM
: Vermicompost
and three spacing viz. S
1
(40 cm × 20 cm), S
2
(40 cm × 25 cm), S
3
(40 cm × 30
cm).Two factorial experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block
Design with three replications. Significant variations in all parameter were
recorded due to effect of organic manure and spacing at different DAT. In case of
vermicompost, maximum gross yield (26.71 t/ha) was obtained from OM
and
minimum (18.02 t/ha) was from OM
. For spacing, highest gross yield (24.74t/ha)
was recorded from S
2
0
and lowest (22.40t/ha) was from S
. In case of combined
effect, highest gross yield (28.42 t/ha) was obtained from OM
1
and lowest
(16.90 t/ha) was from
OM
0
S
. The highest benefit cost ratio (2.46) was obtained
from OM
3
S
2
1
and the lowest (1.78) was recorded form OM
0
S
. So, vermicompost
with 40 cm × 25 cm spacing showed better performance.
