Abstract

The results of the experiments conducted on a high land belonging to Salna Series under Madhupur Tract (Shallow Red Brown Terrace Soil) with different rates of N, P, K, S, B and Mo with cow dung and organic compost evince that the application of N₁₂₀P₁₂₀K₁₀₀S₂₀B₁Mo₀.₂₀OC_0.5 (T₁₆) had the best effect on the growth and yield of cauliflower followed N₁₂₀P₁₈₀K₁₀₀S₂₀B₁Mo_{0 2}CD₁₀(T₇).
