Title: Comparative on farm performance of five modern rice varieties with two local cultivars
Abstract: Different growth and yield contributing parameters of five modern varieties of rice were compared with two local aman rice cultivars at the farmer’s field of Satvaiya para, Khagrachari hill district. Modern varieties showed superiority in most of the characters over local cultivars. Results revealed that, highest plant height (131 cm), days to maturity (145) and longest panicle length (25.49 cm) were found with Binadhan-13; earliest flowering and days to maturity (72 days and 100 days) were recorded in Binadhan-16, total number of tillers per hill (19.80) and thousand seed weight (26.03g) were also found to be maximum by Binadhan-16; percent sterility of spikelets was highest in ChakkaPanja cultivar (33.28%); Binnidhan cultivar produced the highest biological yield (24.14t/ha) and BRRIdhan 71 gave the longest root area (21.43 cm2). In terms of grain yield, highest was obtained from BRRIdhan 71 (6.03 t/ha) followed by Binadhan-17 (5.05 t/ha); Binadhan-16 (4.51 t/ha); Binadhan-7; Binnidhan (4.44 t/ha); ChakkaPanja (4.07 t/ha) and the lowest was recorded in Binadhan-13 (2.77 t/ha). Though local cultivars are low yielded and of more duration but they are cultivated widely in the hilly areas for their quality and taste. To increase the cropping intensity and yield; the short duration high yielding aman rice varieties may be a better option for the farmers.

Title: Effect of chemicals against bacterial soft rot of fruits
Abstract:An experiment was conducted at microbiology laboratory of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University to control the bacterial soft rot of fruits with chemicals in vitro and in vivo condition in 2013. Soft rotted fruit samples of mango, apple, banana, papaya and pineapple were collected from different areas of Bangladesh based on characteristic soft rot symptom. After performing biochemical and physiological tests for characterization of bacterial isolates isolated from fruit samples, three bacteria species namely, Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora, Dickeya dadantii, Pseudomonas marginalis were identified. Antibacterial activity of vinegar, boric acid, calcium chloride and potassium sulfate were evaluated against soft rot bacteria. Among these chemicals, vinegar and boric acid showed antibacterial activity against soft rot bacteria in vitro. Based on the results of the in vitro experiment, vinegar and boric acid were used to control soft rot disease of papaya and apple in storage. Vinegar was found more effective than boric acid in controlling the soft rot disease of fruits in storage.

Title: Growth, flowering and leaf character variation of hosta
Abstract: Today many gardeners are praising the virtues of foliage and hosta is one of the best perennial plants for foliage. We conducted a pot experiment to evaluate the performance in growth and flowering through two consecutive years and variation in leaf characters of hosta taxa. We used twelve hosta taxa in the experiment coded from T1-T12. We found significant variation between the taxa for plant height, leaf numbers, single leaf area, chlorophyll content, peduncle length, floret length, and floret numbers in both the year of 2015 and 2016. All growth and flowering characters reduced on the second consecutive year. The reduction range of florets per peduncle was 21.97-36.74% and floret length was 19.89-22.16% on the second consecutive year. Vegetative growth parameters were found as negligible reduction. But, we found noticeable number of leaves reduction for three taxa and these were H. longipes var. gracillima (20.11%), H. sieboldiana (19.92%) and H. montana (16.95%). Leaf vine numbers were 19, 6, 8, 6, 12, 10, 8, 12, 12, 12, 10 and 16 for T1 to T12, respectively. Phenotypic traits variability will help to the future hosta researchers and breeders.

Title: Impact of tillage practices on soil physical properties, nitrate leaching and yield attributes of maize
Abstract: Tillage, undoubtedly, is one of the most crucial practice to ameliorate crop productivity and maintain soil health. A field experiment was conducted at research farms; Institute of Soil and Environmental Sciences, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan to examine how soil properties and maize crop respond to different tillage strategies (minimum, conventional and deep tillage). Randomized complete block design (RCBD) was finalized for the experiment with three repeats. Maximum total biomass production and grain yield were recorded in case of deep tillage practices. Conventional tillage not only improved leaf area index but also harvest. Minimum tillage minimized the leaching of nutrients especially nitrates. Soil bulk density (Mg m-3), particle density, soil organic carbon (g kg-1), infiltration rate (mm hr-1), percent porosity (%) and soil saturated hydraulic conductivity (mm hr-1) got affected by different tillage practices. To avoid leaching losses of nutrients, minimum tillage is suggested as this loss reduces the crop productivity.

Title: Fish biodiversity of the old Brahmaputra river, Mymensingh
Abstract: The present investigation was concerned with the fish biodiversity of old Brahmaputra River under Mymensingh district of Bangladesh. Objectives of the study were to determine biodiversity and abundance of fish, and to assess seasonal abundance and variation of fish in the river. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the pertinent information from 40 randomly selected fishermen from the study area. A total of 55 species of fish and shell fish were recorded from study sites. Among them, 8 species of carps, 4 species of snakeheads, 8 species of perches, 3 species of eels, 13 catfishes, 8 species of barbs, 2 species of minnows and clupeid species, 3 species of shrimp and other miscellaneous 4 species. It was found that 13 species were abundant, 19 were common, 14 species were less common, and 9 species were rare. The fishermen and other local elites reported that fish population in the old Brahmaputra River has been declining very fast over the last decades may be due to change in water current, depth of water, over fishing, temperature etc.

Title: Efficacy of plant extracts against the tree hole breeding mosquitoes
Abstract: Mosquitoes are the vector of many serious diseases of human. They belong to order Diptera, super family is Culicidae and subfamilies are Culicinae, Anophilinae and Toxorhincitinae. Adult male feed on nectar while female on blood except the members of family Toxorhrincitinae. Females are in a habit of laying eggs near water, in water or onto the water. This water may be present in tires, ponds, polythene bags, tree holes, earthen pots and different catchment areas. Tree holes become filled with water, after it rains. Some of this vaporizes while the left over becomes a good place for mosquitoes to lay eggs. Mostly Aedes spp. lay their eggs in tree hole standing water. These tree holes are the habitat of many other immature of insects, which are later on consumed by the larvae of mosquitoes. The larvae were collected from here with pipette and transferred to the lab for rearing and experimentation. Different chemical insecticides are in use for controlling mosquitoes, but there are many side effects with chemical use like resurgence and resistance in pest, mammalian toxicity and non-specific killing action. Soft twigs, leaves, seeds and fruit peel were taken from different medicinal plants, including Citrus reticulate, Citrus maxima, Calotropis gigantis, Citrus limetta, Jasminum officinale, Gardania augusta, Nicotiana tabacum, Citrullus colocynthis, Mentha piperata for the preparation of extracts through soxhlet apparatus, which were then applied on 3rd and 4th larval instars of mosquitoes and efficiency of extracts was recorded in term of percentage mortality and LC 50. The highest mortality percentage mortality (100%) was given by Citrus limetta, Citrullus colocynthes and Citrus reticulate extracts. The lowest LC 50 (207.182 ppm) was shown by Mentha piperata extract.These results indicate that it is better and effective to control mosquitoes by using botanicals instead of chemicals.

Title: Effect of Dhaincha accessions on soil health and grain yield of rice
Abstract: To assess and compare the effect of different dhaincha accessions on soil health and grain yield of rice, nine dhaincha accessions were used as experimental materials along with a control (without dhaincha plant). The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Seeds of dhaincha accessions were sown in experimental plot @ 60 kg/ha. The 45 days old dhaincha plants were mixed up with soil. Soil samples were collected before sowing and after decomposition of dhaincha biomass and analyzed following standard procedure. There is a substantial increase in soil organic matter (up to 26%) and total nitrogen content (up to 25%) in soil after dhaincha incorporation. Thirty five days old, healthy rice seedlings were transplanted in the dhaincha incorporated plots at the spacing of 15cm X 25cm (plant-plant X row-row). The standard rice cultivation procedure was followed. Due to the incorporation of dhaincha biomass in soil, the grain yield was increased (up to 39%) compared to the control. Among the dhaincha accessions, number 95 showed the best performance in terms of grain yield. However, it is too early to make a conclusive remark based on only these very few number of dhaincha accessions. Therefore, a detailed study with a large number of germplasm collected from whole Bangladesh is obviously needed to reach in a precise conclusion.

Title: Influence of organic manures with recommended inorganic fertilizers on yield of sweet orange (Bari malta 1)
Abstract: The experiment was carried out at the research orchard of Horticulture Research Centre, Regional Agricultural Research Station, Hathazari, Chittagong to determine the influence of organic manure with the recommended inorganic fertilizers on the growth and yield of BARI Malta 1. Six treatments, i. e., consisting of organic manures along with recommended inorganic fertilizers, were used. Results revealed that application of mixed organic manure consisting of 10kg cowdung with 10kg poultry manure or 1 kg mustered oilcake with recommended fertilizers significantly influenced the fruit bearing and yield of fruits and produced 100% and 87% higher yield than only cowdung with recommended inorganic fertilizer and recommended inorganic fertilizers alone. This treatment also showed better plant growth and quality fruit production as indicated by plant height, canopy spread and the highest TSS content (8%) in the harvested fruits.
