Yield of Winter Chilli as Affected by Seedling Age and Number of Seedling per Hill in Char Land Area of Jamalpur District

Abstract

Abstract

An experiment was conducted at the BARI, Regional Station, Jamalpur during rabi 2014–2015 and 2015–2016 to find out the suitable seedling age and number of seedling hill^-1 for maximum yield of winter chilli. The result revealed that maximum cost of cultivation was found in D₁S₃ (25 days + 03 seedling), D₂S₃ (30 days + 03 seedling) and D₃S₃ (35 days + 03 seedling) treatments while the minimum in D₁S₁(25 days + 01 seedling), D₃S₁(35 days + 01 seedling) and D₂S₁(30 days + 01 seedling). The treatment D₃S₁(35 days + 01 seedling) and D₁S₁(25 days + 01 seedling) gave the highest gross return (Tk 176000 and 180000 ha^-1), gross margin (Tk 118000 and 106000 ha^-1) and BCR (3.03 and 3.10). Minimum gross return (Tk 120000 and 126000 ha^-1), gross margin (Tk 62000 and 62000 ha^-1) and BCR (2.00 and 2.03) were obtained from both year results.
