Evaluation of exotic mango germplasm for varietal improvement in Bangladesh
Abstract
Five exotic mango germplasms (MI Ex-001, MI Ex-002, MI Ex-003, MI Ex-004, and MI Ex-005) were evaluated in an experiment carried out in 2014–15 and 2015–16 at the Fruit Research Farm of Horticulture Research Centre, BARI, Joydebpur, Gazipur. Regarding plant height, base girth, tree volume, canopy spread, width, thickness, and TSS throughout both fruiting seasons, there are no significant differences across the genotypes. Full bloom took place from early January to late February, whereas MI Ex-001 was the earliest and MI Ex-005 was the latest for both years. MI Ex-005 produced the maximum number of fruits per tree (138 & 44), while it was noticed as a minimum in MI Ex-002 (12) & MI Ex-003 (16), respectively, in 2014-15 and 2015-16. The fruit harvesting period ranged from 1st week of June 2015 to 1st week of July 2015 where MI Ex-005 was the earliest and MI Ex-002 was the latest fruit-producing germplasm. Maximum fruit weight was recorded in MI Ex-003 (451.33 g & 371.67 g) and the minimum was recorded in MI Ex-005 (159.33 g & 167.00 g), respectively, in 2014-15 and 2015-16. Total Soluble Solids were the highest in MI Ex-2 (21.0%) while the lowest TSS was found in MI Ex-005 (12.67 %). The highest infestation of leaf-cutting weevil was found in MI EX- 005 while it was recorded lowest in MI EX -001. MI Ex-003 was not affected by any types of Disease and physiological malformation in both years but Severe fruit cracking was observed in MI Ex-002 (14.21%) only in 2014-15, but none of the germplasm was affected in 2015-16. The germplasm MI Ex -001 and MI Ex -003 can be released as a high-yielding variety.

Study on morphology and yield attributes of white jute (Corchorus capsularis L.)
Abstract
White jute (Corchorus capsularis) is one of the best sources of higher quality fibre than the fibre of C. olitorius. The experiment was conducted at Jute Agriculture Experimental Station, Jagir, Manikganj to study the morphology and yield contributing attributes of white jute. Three white jute genotypes, namely dwarf red, CVL-1, and BJC-2142 were sown on 30th March, 2022 to evaluate the morphological characters and yield contributing characters. This experiment revealed that the morphological characters like plant height, base diameter, top diameter, leaf number and bark thickness of white jute BJC-2142 were statistically superior to other two white jute varieties. Leaf area of BJC-2142 was lower than other two varieties. It was also found that BJC-2142 required more days for flowering than other two varieties. Yield contributing attributes likely green plant weight with leaf and without leaf, dry weight of fibre and stick of BJC-2142 were higher than white jute CVL-1 and dwarf red.

Influence of probiotic liquid manure application on growth and yield of tomato
Abstract
The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh, during the period from November 2023-April 2024 to evaluate the influence of SAU PLM (Probiotic Liquid Manure) on growth and yield of tomato. The experiment consisted of five treatments, namely: T1: Control (only water); T2: 20% of SAU PLM (1:4 concentration); T3: 50% of SAU PLM (1:1 concentration); T4: 100% of SAU PLM (Direct use); T5: RFD (Recommended Fertilizer Dose). The single factor experiment was laid out in a Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Significant variations of growth and yield parameters were found among the treatments. The result showed that T5 (RDF) and T4 (100% of SAU PLM) treatments enhanced vegetative growth and yield attributes more prominently. Among all the parameters, the tallest plant (105.4 cm), maximum leaf number (25.0), the highest fruit weight (104.9 g) was observed in T5 (RFD) and maximum SPAD value (44.8) maximum fresh fruit weight/plant (3358.6 g), maximum brix percentage (5.1), maximum yield/plot (26.8 kg) and maximum calculated yield/ha (55.5 t/ha) was found in T4 (100% of SAU PLM). While shortest plant (20.1 cm), minimum leaf number (3.0), minimum single fruit weight (62.5 g), minimum fruit weight/plant (741.6 g), minimum brix percentage (3.7), lowest yield/plot (5.9 kg) and lowest calculated yield/ha (12.2 t/ha) was found in T1 (Control). Following the findings of this study, if tomato growers use probiotic liquid manure directly in the field, final yield and the quality of tomato will be better, moreover, it will keep soil health better with eco-friendly agriculture.

Diversity of foraging insects and their effects on onion seed yield in Rangpur region of Bangladesh
Abstract
Pollination by insects is critical for seed production in onion (Allium cepa L.), a cross-pollinated crop that relies heavily on biotic pollinators. This study was conducted during the 2023–24 cropping season in the Rangpur region of Bangladesh to evaluate the diversity of foraging insects in onion fields and their impact on seed yield and quality. A randomized full block design was used to examine six different pollination techniques, including dill intercropping, open pollination, honeybee-assisted pollination, insect exclusion and hand pollination. A diverse array of pollinators was recorded, with honeybees (Apis mellifera, Apis cerana), solitary bees (Megachile spp.), hoverflies (Eristalis spp.), and butterflies (Danaus spp.) being the most frequent visitors. Pollinator activity peaked between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM, with solitary bees and honeybees exhibiting the highest visitation rates. Seed yield was significantly enhanced in treatments with honeybee colonies (823.3 kg/ha), open pollination with dill (781.6 kg/ha) and hand-assisted pollination (753.0 kg/ha), compared to the lowest yield in insect-excluded plots (355.0 kg/ha). Seed quality parameters-including 1000-seed weight, germination rate, and reduced deformity-also improved significantly in insect-accessible treatments. These findings highlight the indispensable role of foraging insects in onion seed production and underscore the need for pollinator-friendly practices, such as managed bee colonies and flowering intercrops, to optimize yield and seed quality.
Key Words: Foraging insects, Diversity, Onion seed yield and Rangpur.
