Effect of Urea Super Granule on Growth and Yield of Wheat

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out at Agronomy Field, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh during the period from November 2009 to March 2010 with a view to finding out the effect of appropriate dose of USG on growth and yield of wheat. Six levels of nitrogen (T₀, T₁, T₂, T₃, T₄ and T₅) were applied as treatments for growth and yield of wheat var. Bijoy for this study. Among the application of USG, treatment T₅ produced the superior results on morpho-physiological and growth characters of wheat except number of non sterile spikelet where USG treatment T₂ performs the best (1.82). As results, T₅ produced the highest plant height (95.77 cm), number of total tiller hill-1 (4.96), no. of effective tiller (4.13), no of non effective tiller (1.00), number of total spikelet (20.22), no of spikelet spile^-1 (10.92), sterile spieklet (18.70), no of grains spike^-1 (46.27), 1000-grain yield (51.39 g), grain yield (2.42 t ha^-1) and straw yield (4.06 tha^-1).
