      abstract = {An experiment was carried out at the Agronomy Field  Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University,  Mymensingh
during June to December 2012 with a view to  finding out the effect of variety and nitrogen fertilizer  application on the
growth and yield of transplant Aman  rice. The experiment comprised four varieties viz. BRRI  dhan33, BRRI dhan34,
BRRI dhan39 and BRRI dhan46, and four  levels of nitrogen viz. control (no urea), prilled urea (50  kg N ha-1
), one
pellet (0.9g) of USG/4 hills of two  adjacent rows (  30 kg N ha-1
) was applied at 10 DAT and  two pellets of USG
(0.9g each) one applied at 10 DAT and  the other at 45 DAT/4 hills of two adjacent rows (  60 kg  N ha-1
). The
experiment was laid out in a randomized  complete block design with three replications. Results of  the experiment
showed that variety and level of nitrogen  application had significant effect on yield attributes and  yield of transplant
Aman rice. At maturity the tallest  plant (122.60 cm) and the highest number total tillers  hill-1 (12.72) were observed in
two pellets of USG/4 hills  providing 60 kg N ha-1
. The highest number of tillers  hill-1 (10.08) was obtained from BRRI
dhan34 and the lowest  one (9.88) from BRRI dhan33. The highest grain yield was  obtained from BRRI dhan46 (4.56 t
ha-1
) and the lowest one  (3.27 t ha-1
) was obtained from BRRI dhan34. The  interaction reveals that the highest grain
yield (5.61 t  ha-1
) was obtained from the treatment combination of BRRI  dhan46 with two pellets of USG (0.9g each)
applied one at  10 DAT and the other at 45 DAT.},
