An experiment was conducted from November 2018 through April 2019 at Noagaon village of South Sunamganj Upazila in Sunamganj District to observe the effects of fertilizers on the growth and yield of boro rice varieties. Two factors experiment was conducted using three rice varieties viz. V₁=BRRI dhan28, V₂=BRRI dhan29 and V₃=BRRI dhan58; and two fertilizers levels viz. F₁= N₁₃₈P_22.4K_63.5S_13.5Zn_1.3kg ha^-1 (FRG-2012) and F₂=N₅₇P₁₂K₁₂kg ha^-1 (Farmers’ practice) where Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) was followed and replicated thrice. Growth and yield data were recorded. Results of the experiment showed that growth performance was higher in V₁ followed by V₂. The highest spikelets panicle^-1 (253.23) and grains panicle^-1 (162.57) were recorded from V₂. F₁ also gave a higher performance in no. of spikelets panicle^-1 (189.81) and grains panicle^-1 (132.74) over F₂.  The highest 1000 grains weight (22.55 g) was observed in V₂ and higher (22.28 g) found in F₁. The highest grain yield of 7.66 t ha^-1 was produced in V_2, and the lowest yield (6.08 t ha^-1) was produced in V. The higher yield of 7.18 t ha^-1obtained from F₁ over F₂(6.23 t ha^-1). V₂ produced the 14 % higher grain yield (8.17 t ha^-1) with the application of F₁ over F₂. The highest BCR (1.54) was found when V₂ was treated with F_1, and the lowest BCR (1.19) was observed inV₁with F₂. In comparison to initial soil nutrients status as well as the organic matter was increased in post-harvest soil when applied balanced fertilizers.
