Abstract

The experiment was conducted in the field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from October 2009 to January 2010 to find out the combined effect of mulch materials and organic manure on the growth and yield of lettuce. Four levels of mulch materials viz. M = No mulching, M = Dry water hyacinth, M = Black polythene and M = Dry rice straw and four levels of o1 2 3 organic manure viz. OM = no organic manure, OM = Cow dung (20 t ha ), OM = Poultry manure (10 t ha ) o1 2 11 and OM = Vermicompost (10 t ha ) were also used as experimental variables. The results showed that most 3 1 of the growth parameters were influenced by the mulch materials and organic manure. All the parameters viz. number of leaves plant , leaf length (cm), leaf breath (cm), dry matter accumulation (%), yield (g plant ) and 11 yield (t ha ) performed better in case of M OM ( Black polythene + vermicompost: 10 t ha ), while the 11 23 minimum growth and yield parameter were obtained from M OM ( control) at each observation stage. 00 Although the highest gross and net returns were obtained from the M OM and it was apparently from the 23 above results that the treatment combination of M OM was more profitable compared with other treatments 23 but from economic point of view (Benefit cost ratio) treatment M OM ( Dry water hyacinth + poultry manure 12 : 3.37) was more economic than the M OM (3.14). 23
