Title: Performance evaluation of a modified seed drill for row crop planting under rainfed farming conditions
Abstract: Increasing demand for the optimization of crop production necessitates the use of precision planting for both timeliness and subsequent field operations. This study was carried out at Almigrih to compare the performance of a modified seed drill (VISPA) with the conventional wide level disc (WLD) traditionally used for sowing in the rainfed subsector. Results showed that seed drill was 60% faster and efficient than the WLD, about 60% less fuel consumption. VISPA can save about half the sesame seeds consumed by the WLD at 5cm within row spacing. For sorghum, the VISPA gave the recommended population at 25cm within row spacing while the WLD about 337% of the recommended.

Title: Effect of plant density and fertilizer rate on the performance of short duration mustard cv. BARI Sarisha-14
Abstract: Effect of plant density and fertilizer rate on the performance of short duration mustard cv. BARI Sarisha-14 was investigated with an experiment from October, 2015 to June, 2016 at Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The experiment consisted of four plant densities: P1: 56 plants/m2 (30 cm × 6 cm), P2: 67 plants/m2 (25 cm × 6 cm), P3: 80 plants/m2 (25 cm × 5 cm), P4: 100 plants/m2 (25 cm × 4 cm) and four rates of fertilizer : F0: Control (no fertilizer) F1: 100% of fertilizer recommended rate (Fertilizer Recommendation Guide-2012), F2: 120% of fertilizer recommended rate F3: 140% of fertilizer recommended rate. The highest seed yield was obtained (1.60 t/ha) in plant density P2: 67 plants/m2 (25 cm × 6 cm) with the combination of high rates of fertilizer F3: 140% of recommended fertilizer rate. The next best result was (1.50 t/ha) recorded in caseof plant density P1: 56 plants/m2 (30 cm × 6 cm) with the combination of fertilizer rate F3: 140% of recommended fertilizer rate. It indicated, high plant density with combination of recommended fertilizer reduce yield. It is concluded from the study thatf BARI Sarisha-14 in combination with plant density (25 cm x 6 cm) and high rates of fertilizer produced highest seed yield at agro- climatic condition of Mymensingh.

Title: In vitro regeneration protocol for indica rice genotypes
Abstract: Embryogenic calli from mature seeds of four indica rice genotypes were used to observe their regeneration potentiality and establish a suitable in vitro plantlet regeneration protocol. MS medium supplemented with different phytohormone combinations were used to observe the callus induction ability of the explant. The highest callus induction (73.19%), biggest size of callus (3.133mm) and higher callus weight (0.7167g) were observed in Binadhan-6 in MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg L-1 2,4-D over all the genotypes and MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg L-1 2,4-D was the best over all the treatments (66.83%). Among the phytohormone combinations, MS + 8 mg L-1 Kinetin + 0.5 mg L-1 NAA showed the highest shoot regeneration (50.67%) and shoot length (13.7cm). Among the genotypes, Binadhan-6 was highly responsive to shoot regeneration (55.83%). The best root formation from regenerants (87.889%), maximum number of roots per plant (20) and the highest length (4.467 cm) of roots were in MS media supplemented with 0.5 mg L-1 IAA in Binadhan-6. In pot and soil, Binadhan-6 showed the highest survival rate of the plantlet 91.30% and 85%, respectively. This callus induction and in vitro regeneration protocol will be widely applicable for the tissue culture of indica rice.

Title: Cultural and morphological characterization of Ceratocystis fambriata causing mango sudden death disease in district Muzaffargarh, Punjab, Pakistan and its chemical control
Abstract: Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is an important fruit of Pakistan which is widely cultivated throughout the world. Fungal diseases of mango are the most important biological constraint to productivity. Out of which sudden death disease causes significant losses. The present investigation is carried out to characterize Ceratocystis fambriata causing mango sudden death disease and its management by application of different fungicides. During the survey 14 isolates of Ceratocystis fambriata causing sudden death disease was collected from Muzaffargarh district. The isolates were identified on the basis of cultural and microscopic features. After 6 days during cultural studies maximum growth was observed on Czepk and Malt extract medium (85 mm) and minimum growth was on PDA (74.1 mm). The colonies colors range from grayish, slightly white to light brown having smooth, circular and regular or irregular margins on the surface. Perithecia was black to brown, smooth, circular and regular or irregular, Aascospore was hat shaped ranging 4.18- 6.34 μmx 3.15 - 4.88 μm, Aleurioconidia ranging 17.1- 18.5 μmx 9.04-10.09 μm, Endoconidia ranging 22.5-24.2 μmx 3.90-5.30 μm. During pathogenicity test, result showed that infection started after fifteen days of inoculation. The pathogen covered 1.3 cm after fifteen days. Final reading was taken on the forty five day, when the pathogen colonized up to 3.25 cm. Among different fungicides the results after 2, 4 and 6 days revealed that Topsin- M was found most effective for controlling the growth of Pathogen that showed colony diameter 0.20, 0.50 and 1.3 cm at 200 ppm followed by Score, Nativo, Cabriotop and Copper oxychloride respectively.

Title: An integrated model of forage, meat and emission in a beef cattle production system
Abstract: The beef cattle production system is a complex system as it includes biological, economic and social factors which are also individually intricate in nature. In this approach a simplified relationship and interactions between various factors that control the system have been presumed to develop the integrated model of meat production, use and storage of forage, manure excretion and emission. Three major subsystems namely meat production, forage management and emissions were described separately and finally combined into a single system to simulate the system output. A dynamic Monte Carlo simulation software (GoldSim) has been used to simulate the system. Various management scenarios are considered to see the model performance and uncertainty.

Title: Influence of supplement LED spectrum on growth and yield of Strawberry
Abstract: A field experiment was performed during winter season from December 2015 to March 2016 at the Horticulture farm, Department of Horticulture of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka to investigate the influence of different supplemental LED spectrum on growth and yield of Strawberry. Five treatments viz. Control (L0), White LED light (LW), Blue LED Light (LB), Red LED Light (LR) and Combined Red and Blue LED light (LR+B); were used in this experiment arranged in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with. LB treatment showed best performance regarding vegetative growth (plant height 33.7 cm, leaf area 88.8 cm2, No. of leaf/plant 25.3, No. runner/plant 6.0 and No. of stolon/plant 5.0) whereas LR showed best in reproductive growth (Days to first flower bud, flowering, fruit setting and harvesting 52.0, 54.0, 67.3 and 101.3 days respectively). LR+B treatment showed statistical similarity to the best in all the parameters and gave the highest yield (yield/plant and yield/ha 475.3 g and 16.6 ton respectively). So, a combined supplementation of red and blue LED light can be recommended to boost the quality and production of strawberry.

Title: Screening effect of organic manure on the vegetative growth of maize (Zea mays L.)
Abstract: The study which aimed at evaluating the effect of different organic manure on the growth of maize was conducted at the Allies Gardens and Landscaping, Gombe State, Nigeria. The study was conducted from March 2017 to May ending 2017, experimental period was 12 weeks. Treatments were the three sources of nutrients and control; poultry manure (PM), cattle dung (CD), inorganic fertilizer NPK. Different treatment rates of PM, CD and NPK were replicated 4 times, a total of 48 experimental poly pots were used in the research. The parameters measured were number of leaves, plant height, leaves area root shoot and plant biomass. The study revealed the effect of applied organic manures (PM and CD) on the vegetative growth of the maize crop which suggests an improvement in growth and future yield of the maize plant. This is anticipated to replace the use of NPK.

Title: Influence of planting date on phenology and yield of soybean genotypes in Sierra Leone
Abstract: Field experiments were conducted at SLARI’s on-station sites located at Rogbasha, Sumbuya and Serabu during the year 2013 cropping season to evaluate the influence of planting date on the phenology and yield of soybean genotypes in Sierra Leone. The experiment was arranged in a split plot design with 3 replications in each location. Five planting dates (June 7, June 28, July 14, August 15 and September 5) were assigned to the main plots and five soybean genotypes (TGx 1448-2E, TGx 1904-6F, TGx 1951-3F, TGx 1951-4F and TGx 1955-4F) to the subplots using a randomized complete block design. Planting date had a significant influence on the phenology and yield of the soybean genotypes evaluated. The number of days from emergence (VE) to full flower (R2), full pod (R4) and physiological maturity (R7), thenumber of pods plant-1, 100-seed mass and grain yield for each soybean genotype decreased significantly in each location when planted late i.e. August 15 and beyond.The grain yield, number of pods plant-1 and 100-seed mass of soybean depend directly on the influence of the days to full fower, full pod and physiological maturity. The significant decrease in the days to full fower, full pod and physiological maturity in soybean when planted after July 14 altered the optimum yield potential in the soybean genotypes. For optimum grain yields, farmers in Sierra Leone should plant TGx 1448-2E, TGx 1904-6F, TGx 1951-3F, TGx 1951-4F and TGx 1955-4F not later than mid-July under rain-fed conditions.

Title: Effect of dietary vitamin C on the growth and survival rate of rohu (Labeo rohita)
Abstract: The experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of dietary vitamin C on the growth and survival rate of rohu (Labeo rohita) for a period of 49 days from 5th April to 24th May, 2016 in 12 experimental aquaria in Wet Laboratory of the Department of Aquaculture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Fingerlings of initial weight of 6.02±0.00 g was released at the same stocking density (12 fingerlings per aquaria). Four different treatments (T1, T2, T3 and T4) each with three replications were used having different amount of vitamin C, T1 (0 mg vitamin C/kg feed), T2 (200 mg vitamin C/kg feed), T3 (400 mg vitamin C/kg feed) and T4 (600 mg vitamin C/kg feed). All four diets having a constant inclusion level of the following ingredients: fish meal 40%, rice bran 25%, wheat bran 25%, molasses 5%, soybean oil 4% and vitamin and mineral premix 1%. Final weight (g), weight gain (g), percent weight gain (%), specific growth rate (%/day), and protein efficiency ratio, varied from 7.31±0.14 to 7.83±0.15, 1.29±0.14 to 1.8±0.15, 21.48±2.37 to 30.12±2.54, 0.52±0.22 to 1.21±0.17 and 0.46±0.42 to 0.60±0.04, respectively. Highest FCR (7.81±0.22) was found in T1 and the lowest FCR (5.78±0.36) was found in T4. The highest PER (0.60±0.04) was found in T4 and the lowest PER (0.46±0.42) was found in T1. The highest survival rate (63.89±4.81) was found in T4 and lowest survival rate (47.22±9.62) was found in T1. Best growth performance was found in T4 followed by T3, T2 and T1. The present research findings suggested that the best growth performance and survival rate of Labeo rohita was obtained from supplementation of 600 mg vitamin C per kg feed containing diet which could be chosen by the fish feed manufacturer and fish farmers.
