The experiment was laid out in two factors Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Among the two factors, one factor like A was two production systems: S 1 = Mango + Turmeric and S 2 = Turmeric (sole crop); another factor like B was three turmeric variety: V 1 = BARI Holud-1, V 2 = BARI Ho-lud-2 and V 3 = BARI Holud-3. So, the treatment combinations were: S 1 V 1 = Mango + BARI Holud-1, S 1 V 2 = Mango + BARI Holud-2, S 1 V 3 = Mango + BARI Holud-3, S 2 V 1 = sole cropping of BARI Holud-1, S 2 V 2 = sole cropping of BARI Holud-2 and S 2 V 3 = sole cropping of BARI Holud-3. The result of the experiment revealed that interaction effect of production systems and variety was found significant on plant height, number of leaf per plant, length of leaf blade, breadth of leaf blade, number of finger per rhizome, fresh and dry yield per hectare. The higher fresh yield of turmeric (34.75 t/ha) and dry yield (6.10 t/ha) was found from S 1 V 1 treatment (Mango + BARI Holud-1). Whereas the lowest fresh yield (33.41 t/ha) and dry yield (4.93 t/ha) was found from S 2 V 2 treatment (sole cropping of BARI Holud-2). However, the suitability of the cultivation of different turmeric variety under mango based agroforestry systems may be ranked as S 1 V 1 > S 2 V 1 > S 1 V 3 > S 2 V 3 > S 1 V 2 > S 2 V 2. Finally it may be concluded that, BARI Holud-1 would be the best variety to be grown under mango based agroforestry.

Bangladesh Res. Pub. J. 9(3): 168-174. Retrieve from Abstract An experiment was conducted at the agronomy field laboratory, Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology university, Dinajpur during the period from July to December 2013 to investigate the performance of spacing and level of nitrogen on the growth and yield characters of aromatic rice cv. Kalizira. The experiment included three spacing namely, 25cm×10cm, 25cm×15cm, 25cm×20 cm and three nitrogen level viz., 34kg, 40kg and 46kg.The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Plant height, effective tillers, panicle length, yield, yield contributing characters, qualitative characters were significantly influenced by spacing and nitrogen level of aromatic rice. The result showed that among three spacing, (25cm×15cm) spacing produced the highest number of total tillers hill-1 (17), effective tillers hill-1 (15.61), grains panicle-1 (155.5), the highest grain yield (2.379 t ha-1) was obtained. The lowest grain yield was recorded (1.989 t/ha) with (25cm×10cm) spacing. Among the level of nitrogen , significantly effective tillers (15) filled grains (162) grain yield ((2.5 t ha-1), harvest index (41.48 %) was obtained from 40kg N ha-1 although 34kg and 46 kg showed similar result in case of total tillers hill-1. The lowest grain yield (1.5 tha-1) was recorded with 34kg N ha-1. Result showed that (25cm×15cm) and 40 kg N ha-1 was the best combination to produce maximum yield of aromatic rice.
