The experiment was conducted at the farmers’ fields of two villages namely Bahadurpur and Noagaon at Sadar upazilla and Daskin Sunamganj, respectively under Dekar haor of Sunamganj district, Bangladesh during November 2015 to May 2016 to find out the effect of variety and fertilizer on the growth, yield and yield contributing characters of local fine boro rice. Four varieties (Tapi boro, Begun bichi, Rata boro, Atobshail) and three fertilizer treatments (Farmers’ practice, BARC recommendation guide based fertilizers and Soil test based fertilizers) were included in the experiment. The experiment was laid out in a two factors Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three disperse replications at farmers’ field. The highest grain yield of 2.81 t ha–1 was recorded from the variety Atobshail. The highest straw yield of 4.90 t ha–1 was recorded at Begun bichi. The grain yield was significantly affected due to fertilizer application, the lowest yield was observed in the farmers’ practice (2.22 t ha-1) and the highest was in STB fertilizer application (2.85 t ha-1). The highest grain yield of 2.91 t ha-1 was produced due to interaction of Tapiboro and application of soil test based fertilizer dose.
