Abstract
 

A field experiment was conducted to determine the effects of inorganic fertilizer on growth, yield and economic potential of BJRI Mesta-3. The results indicated significant affect of different NPKS levels on Mesta yield and yield contributing characters over control. The highest fibre (3.10t/ha) and stick (7.20t/ha) yield were obtained by the combination dose of N100 Kg/ha with PKS 10-60-20 kg/ha at Manikganj. The plant height (3.08m), base diameter (20.10mm) also found highest with the same treatment of fertilizer combination. By the same treatment produced higher fibre yield and yield contributing characters at Kishoreganj though that yield was slightly lower than that of Manikganj location. Economic analysis favored the use of 100-10-60-20 kg/ha NPKS for yield of 3.10 t/ha Mesta fibre. Therefore this combination seemed to be optimum for good growth and high potential Mesta production in Bangladesh. Application of modern fertilizer technologies on the mechanized management of Mesta will greatly increase grower profit.
