Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the influence of Clybio concentration
with application frequency on growth and yield of Bottle gourd at Horticulture
Farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, during the period from
January to June 2020. The experiment was consisted of seven treatments
namely, T
0
: Control; T
1
: @ 1.0 ml/L+10 days interval; T
: @ 1.0 ml/L+15 days
interval; T
3
: @ 1.0 ml/L+20 days interval; T
4
2
: @ 2.0 ml/L+10 days interval; T
:
@
2.0
ml/L+15 days interval; T
: @ 2.0 ml/L+20 days interval.
The single
factorial experiments were laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design
(RCBD) with three replications. Among the treatments the maximum vine
length (162.5cm, 360.6cm and 511.4cm at 30, 45, 60 DAT respectively), SPAD
value (58.5), number of fruits (11.3/plant), fruit length (45.7cm), fruit
6
diameter(15.5cm), individual
fruit weight(3.3kg), yield per plant (38.3kg), yield
(95.7t/ha) was found in case of T
treatment. On the other hand, minimum vine
length (104.1cm, 292.1cm and 383.9cm at 30, 45, 60 DAT respectively), SPAD
value (50.3), number of fruits (8.6/plant), fruit length (35.3cm), fruit diameter
(10.8cm), individual fruit weight (2.4kg), yield per plant (21.1kg), yield (52.8
t/ha) was found in case of T
0
4
treatment.
Considering the effect of applied
treatments on growth and yield related results it can be concluded that T
( @
2ml+10 days i nt erval )
treatment showed the best performance.
