To study the effect of sulphur (S) and boron (B) on the performance
of yield, agronomic efficiency, economic return of boro rice (cv.
BRRI dhan28) was evaluated at the Reseahc Field of the Department
of Crop Science and Technology, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi-
6205, during the Rabi season from November 2015 to April 2016 in
High Ganges River Floodplain under AgroEcological Zone-11
(AEZ-11). The experiment was consisted three level of sulphur, viz.,
S0: without sulphur (control), S20: 20 kg S ha-1, S30: 30 kg S ha-1, and
three level of boron viz., B0: without boron (control), B2: 2 kg B ha-
1, B3: 3 kg B ha-1. The experiment was conducted in a Randomized
Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The results
revealed that S and B significantly influenced the yield straw yield,
biomass yield, sterility percentage, agronomic efficiency and
economic return of BRRI dhan28. The treatment combination of
S20B2 (20 kg S ha-1 with 2 kg B ha-1) performed the best results of
the aforesaid traits. So, it can be suggested to apply S at 20 kg ha-1
and B at 2 kg ha-1 with recommended dose of NPK and Zn for
maximizing yield, agronomic efficiency and economic point of view
of boro rice in calcareous soils of AEZ-11.
