Abstract :
The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Department of Agronomy and Agricultural Extension, Rajshahi University, from December 2021 to April 2022. It aimed to investigate the impact of various types and doses of urea on the growth and yield of boro rice. The study involved three boro rice varieties: BRRI dhan28 (V1), BRRI dhan29 (V2), and BRRI dhan58 (V3) (Factor A), and three different urea dosages: 75% of the recommended dose of prilled urea (PU) (T1), 100% of the recommended dose of PU (T2), and 75% of the recommended dose of urea super granules (USG) (T3) (Factor B). The experiment was conducted using a split-plot design with three replications. The experimental results shows that, BRRI dhan58 demonstrated superior performance across various parameters, including plant height (86.05 cm), total tillers hill-1 (18.70), panicle length (23.00 cm), 1000-grain weight (22.47 g), grain yield (6.11 t ha-1), straw yield (7.12 t ha-1), and biological yield (13.22 t ha-1). Concerning urea dosages, T3 (75% of the recommended dose of USG) resulted in the highest values for plant height (86.66 cm), total tillers hill-1 (19.04), panicle length (22.93 cm), 1000-grain weight (22.28 g), grain yield (6.30 t ha-1), straw yield (7.13 t ha-1), and biological yield (23.43 t ha-1), with V2 demonstrating the maximum harvest index (46.25). The combined treatment of BRRI dhan58 and 75% of the recommended dose of USG yielded the most favorable overall result, highlighting the importance of considering both cultivar selection and urea dosage in optimizing boro rice production in experimental areas or areas with similar ecologies.
