Effect of feed and fertilizer on the growth of monosex tilapia in pond was assayed from August to November 2013. The experiment trail was done with 4 treatments (T0 control and T1 only fertilizer, T2 feed + fertilizer, T3 feed) having 3 replications each. Lime was administrated at 617.5 kg/ha. The stocking density was 49400 (0.3 g each)/ha/ponds. In T3, two times feeding was done at 50% to 5% of their body weight Cow dung, urea and TSP were applied at 1482 kg/ha, 49.4 kg/ha and 49.4 kg/ha initially and 370.5 kg/ha, 9.88 kg/ha and 9.88 kg/ha weekly basis in T1 and T2 respectively. Samplings were done fortnightly and the significance level was assessed through one way ANOVA. Significant difference (P ≥ 0.05) was observed for growth indices such as final body weight, FCR, SGR and yield (kg/ha) among different treatments except T2 and T3 in case of SGR and survival rate. The highest survival rate (90%), gross yield (6.06±1.20 ton/ha), SGR (6.78±.015% per day) and BCR (2.01) were in T3 with a minimum in T0. Highest and lowest FCR value was 0.90±.06 and 0.79±.01 in T2 and T3 respectively. The result reveals that T3 is the best monosex tilapia culture method in pond.
