Performance of Brinjal as Influenced by Boron and Molybdenum

M.A. Siddiky, N.K. Halder, Z. Islam, R.A. Begam and M.M. Masud
The filed study was carried out at Horticultural Research Farm, BARI, Joydebpur during two consecutive seasons of 2004-05 and 2005-06, respectively to evaluate the response of Binjal to each levels of B (0, 0.75, 1.50 and 2.25 kg ha-1) and 4 levels of Mo (0, 0.75, 1.50 and 2.25 kg ha-1) were used in the study for treatment combination. A combined blanket dose of N P K S and CD at the rate of 120:45; 100:20 kg and 5 t ha-1 were also mixed up in all the treatment plots. It is evident from both first and second year results that B and Mo either in single or in combination made significant response to the yield and yield attributes of brinjal in B-Mo deficient soil of experimental site. Boron produced significantly higher yield 76.52 t ha-1 and 26% yield increase over B control (Bo). Similarly, Molybdenum also made positive response to the yield of brinjal. All the studied parameters were significantly influenced by applied molybdenum up to 1.50 kg ha-1. However, the highest brinjal yield (82.24 t ha-1) was recorded with Mo at the rate of 1.50 kg ha-1 and beyond that the yield declined steadily. The 88% yield increase was also noticed in the same treatment. Interaction effect of B and Mo was found to be highly responsive to the yield and yield components of brinjal. However, the highest yield (91.67 t ha-1) was recorded with B-Mo combination at the rate of B1.50 Mo1.50 kg ha-1 and 166% yield increase over B-Mo control (B0 Mo0) treatment in 2nd year due to well management practices and favorable agro-climatic condition compared to the first year result.
