“…Therefore, the gross return, gross margin and soil fertility indicate the treatment T 4 is preferable to T 3 . Similar results corroborated by Quddus et al (2017) in other paper that the highest marginal benefit-cost ratio of 3.46 in T 3 (AEZ) and second in T 4 (STB). In contrast Ali et al (2003) and Rahman et al (2004) who observed in cropping system that highest benefit cost ratio got from the soil test based balanced fertilization.…”

The experiment was conducted to measure crop yields, nutrient concentration, nutrient uptake and balance by using different nutrient management practices for mustard-mungbean-T. aman rice cropping system in calcareous soil of Madaripur, Bangladesh. Different nutrient management practices were absolute nutrient control (T 1 ); farmer's practice (T 2 ); AEZ based nutrient application (T 3 ) and soil test based nutrient application (T 4 ). The practices were compared in a randomized completely block design with three replications over two consecutive years. The average yield through application of soil test based nutrient (T 4 ) was showed effective to get highest yields of mustard (1530 kg ha ). The same practices (T 4 ) exhibited the greatest nutrients uptake by the test crops. The apparent balance of N and K was negative; however it was less negative and less deficiency detect in T 4 treatment. Positive balance of P observed in all practices except in T 1 . There was a positive S balance (7.60 kg ha -1 ) in T 4 but negative in T 1 , T 2 and T 3 . Zinc balance was found positive in T 3 and T 4 and negative in T 1 and T 2 . Boron balance in the system was neutral or slightly positive in T 1 and negative in T 2 but positive in T 3 and T 4 . Organic matter, N, P, S, Zn and B status in soil was improved by T 4 treatment. The results suggested that the soil test based nutrient application is viable and sustainable for mustard-mungbean-T. aman rice cropping system in calcareous soils of Bangladesh.

“…Shahiduzzaman and Rahman (2008) also observed that soil test based fertilizer treatment produced the highest yield of mustard. Quddus et al (2017) reported in another paper that the highest grain yield of mustard (1543 kg ha -1 ) got from soil test basis fertilizer application. Similar yield trend was found in grain yield of mungbean.…”
