Abstract :
An experiment was conducted at the farm of Bangladesh Wheat and Maize Research Institute, Nashipur, Dinajpur to develop a fertilizer application related device for existing seeder available in Bangladesh, to find out the effect of depth of fertilizer placement and the best fertilizer management in Resource conserving technologies (RCT) under different tillage options for wheat production. The experiment was laid out in a split-split plot design with three replications. The treatments were: in main plots - four tillage methods i). Power Tiller Operated Seeder (PTOS), (ii) Bed planting, (iii) Strip tillage, (iv) Conventional; in sub-plot - two depths of fertilizer placement (4±1 and 6±1cm) and in sub-sub plots - two fertilizers doses (100% and 75% recommended fertilizer) (RF). Results of the study indicated that grain yield of wheat was not influenced significantly by the interaction effect of fertilizer doses applied in different depth under different tillage options. Numerically higher grain was recorded in the plots where 4±l cm depth under PTOS tillage system the lower yield was found in bed planting system in 6±1 cm depths. Interaction effect showed plant population after 45 days, spike/m2 and grain/spike were significant while remaining parameters were not significant.
