ABSTRACT
The experiment was conducted in the farmer’s field of Gozaria char, Sariakandi, Bogura during Rabi, 2023-2024to develop a suitable fertilizer dose for foxtail millet. The treatments were T1: FRG’2018 (28-20-37-0.5-0.5 kgha-1 of NPKZnB), T2: T1 + 25% NPKZn, T3: T1 + 50% NK, T4: T1 + 1kg B ha-1 and T5: Farmers practice (46-15-20-14-1.5-1.3 kgha-1 of NPKSZnB (average of 20 farmers). Treatments were assigned randomly, and fertilizer doses were applied accordingly following RCB design. Maximum seed yield (2.18 tha-1) was recorded from T4 treatment that was statistically similar to T5 and the minimum (1.92 t ha-1) from T1 treatment. The highest gross return (Tk. 152600 ha-1) was amounted from T4 treatment against the cultivation cost of Tk. 35265 ha-1 that together led to the higher gross margin (Tk. 117335 ha-1). Lower gross return (Tk. 134400ha-1) as well as gross margin (Tk. 99505 ha-1) was obtained from the T1treatment. Therefore, the suitable doses of fertilizer is 28-20-37-0.5-1.5 kgha-1 of NPKZnB for foxtail millet at charland of Bogura.
Key words: Foxtail millet, recommended dose, fertilizers, charland area.
