Abstract
The experiment was aimed that the aspects of some plant growth parameters and yield and yield contributing
traits of BRAC hybrid rice Aloron (Oryza sativa) in response to the effect of decomposed faecal sludge @ 10 t/ha and in
combination with different doses of chemical fertilizers and compared with absolute control. Days to 80% heading, days
to 80% maturity, total tiller per hill, panicle per square meter, plant height, panicle length, 1000 grain weight and yields
were found statistically identical among the sole and integrated use of DFS with chemical fertilizer treatments.
Excessive vegetative growth was observed when DFS was applied @ 10 t/ha. The highest grain yields were observed
when DFS and recommended chemical fertilizer dose applied in sole but the highest grain yield was observed when DFS
@ 10 t/ha along with ½ of the recommended chemical fertilizer dose was used. The average requirement of DFS
irrespective of its rate, N, P and K variations, grain yield was about 9.256 t/ha and 9.108 t/ha with DFS in the year of
2013 and 2014 respectively. This implies that DFS can be utilized successfully for growing hybrid rice in Bangladesh.
