Gross Anatomy of epididymis and ductus deferens of adult Khaki Campbell duck (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) in Bangladesh
Abstract
The aim of the work to observe the anatomy (gross and biometrical) of the epididymis and ductus deferens of adult Khaki Campbell duck (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus). The experimental Khaki Campbell ducks (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) were collected from poultry farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh from July 2017 to June 2018 . The condition of the health of the birds was apparently good. No external deformities were observed in the birds. The epididymis was closely attached along the entire length of the dorso-medial border of the testis. The cranial part was closely associated with the capsule of the adrenal gland and it was extensive for left epididymis. The ductus deferens was convoluted and wavy in appearance. It started at the caudal end of the epididymis and ran parallel to the midline and extends to the cloaca parallel to the respective ureter. The present study revealed that the gross anatomical structure of the epididymis and ductus deferens of the Khaki Campbell duck was similar to that of the other avian species.
Key Words: Gross anatomy, Biometry, epididymis, ductus deferens and Khaki Campbell duck.

Effects of reciprocal crosses on egg production and egg weight of chicken
Abstract
In this study reciprocal mating was conducted between exotic chicken and locally purchased indigenous chicken from at the Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Bangladesh Agricultural University Mymensingh. The exotic chicken included White Leghorn (WL), RIR and Fayomi cocks and local cocks were mated to WL, RIR and Fayoumi hens naturally. Local cocks were mated to local hens in the pen as the control group. A total of 43 chicks in 4 genetic groups were raised up to 8 weeks under identical conditions. The objectives of the study is to keep record of egg production & egg weight of chicks hatched out of such reciprocal mating and compare the results in respect of egg production egg weight with control group (indigenous chickens). In conformity the performance of chicks produced by reciprocal mating among the two types in terms of egg production and egg weight were recorded. Egg production of the WL and Fayoumi was about double than that of indigenous and RIR, WL and Fayoumi compared to WL, Fayoumi and RIR. Growth rate, growth velocity and weight gain in Indigenous male ×WL female, Indigenous × Fayoumi female and Indigenous male× RIR female was found by higher than that of WL male ×Indigenous female, RIR male × Indigenous female and Fayoumi male × Indigenous female. Among the genotypes, Indigenous male ×WL female had the maximum gain in body weight. The results obtained indicated that male line of indigenous chickens crossed with females of other breeds was significantly higher than the female line of indigenous chicken crossed with male of their breeds in their growth performance.

Character association and path analysis of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)
Abstract
The study was conducted at the vegetables research field and laboratory of the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Akbarpur, Moulvibazar, Bangladesh to find out the inter-relationship among the characters studied. Correlation and path analysis was executed in twenty-three tomato genotypes for thirteen yield contributing characters. The correlation coefficients were ascertained to detect the studied character interrelationships. Yield (t/ha) was showed positive and highly significant correlated with yield per plant(r =0.99) followed by individual fruit weight (r =0.72), fruit breadth (r =0.67), number of locules per fruit (r =0.67) and pericarp thickness (r =0.66) which indicated that yield could be enhanced by improving these traits. Path coefficient analysis indicated the cause and effect relationship among yield (t/ha) and its components. Yield per plant exhibited the highest positive direct effect (1.018) on yield (t/ha) followed by the number of flowers per inflorescence (0.212) and pericarp thickness (0.155). Fruit breadth (-0.279) showed the highest negative direct effect on yield (t/ha) but it had a highly significant positive correlation with Yield (t/ha) (r=0.67). High direct effect on yield (t/ha) was revealed by the characters that indicated direct selection in favor of these traits might be feasible. Selection based on these characters has great potential for improving yield (t/ha). The studied characters explained almost all variability towards yield signified by considerably very low residual effect (0.004606).
Key words: Tomato, Correlation analysis, Path-coefficients analysis, Traits and Direct effect.

Efficacy of locally available plant seed oils against pulse beetle infesting blackgram
Abstract
Callosobruchus chinensis L. (Pulse beetle) is a major stored grain pest of pulse crops during storage. The research was conducted at the pulses lab of Regional Agricultural Research Station, Jashore during the period from March, 2019 to June, 2019 to study the efficacy of local market available different plant seed oil against pulse beetle (Callosobruchus chinensis L.) infesting blackgram (Vigna mungo). Different plants seed oil viz. T1= Mustard seed oil (3ml/kg), T2= Olive oil (3ml/kg), T3= Coconut oil (4ml/kg), T4= Soybean seed oil (2ml/kg), T5= Control were included as treatments in the study. Treatments were evaluated for their effects on seed damage and weight loss in black gram at different storage intervals i.e., 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after treatment. The treatment mustard seed oil (3ml/kg) and coconut oil (4ml/kg) was found the best treatments for the lowest seed damage and weight loss i.e., 0.37, 5.07 and 0.48, 3.20 respectively, after 30 days. Similar result was found even after 120 days i.e., 2.15, 46.63 and 1.19, 10.01 respectively. The third, fourth and least effective treatments are soybean oil (2ml/kg), olive oil (3ml/kg) and control, respectively.

Response of groundnut (Arachis hypogeal) to the exogenous application of growth hormones (IAA and GA3)
Abstract
Experiments were carried out to study the effect of Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) and Gibberellic Acid (GA3) on groundnut (TAG-24). In this study, the effect of growth regulators was studied on morphological as well as yield parameters of groundnut plant. The sowing of seed was carried out in eleven plots of 1m x 1m, one for control and with 10ppm, 20ppm, 30ppm, 40ppm and 50ppm concentrations of IAA and GA3. Different concentrations of IAA and GA3 were applied twice 30 and 60 days after sowing. Compared to IAA, GA3 hr hormone was found more effective to increase the height of the plant, the number of root nodules, the size of the seeds, number of pods, weight of seeds as well as the yield of groundnut. IAA has affected all the parameters, but except the height of the plant and length of the root, all the parameters showed non-significant change. Exogenous application of GA3 enhanced the number of root nodules and number of pods per plant, but it was found reduced due to the application of IAA. Thus, application of GA3 (i.e. GA3 at 50ppm) can be suggested for higher yield of groundnut.
Key Words: IAA, GA3, Root nodules, Morphological characters and Groundnut yield

Estimation of carbon emission from agricultural and pasture field
Abstract
Agriculture is one of the significant contributors to greenhouse gas to the atmosphere, thereby play a role to intensify the greenhouse gas effect. Carbon dioxide, even being the principal component of gas emitted from the soil, there is no, or little research has been conducted on carbon dioxide emission from the soil surface under cultivated land. This study was intended to explore the carbon dioxide emission from soil-grown with various crops and management practices. The measurement was done with the Japanese closed chamber technique. The result showed that the level of emission not only differed due to management practices but also due to the type of vegetation covered. Therefore, intensive research on emission from different agricultural systems is imperative to develop climate-smart agricultural soil management technologies in Nepal.

Foliar application of Spirulina and Oscillatoria on growth and yield of okra as bio-fertilizer
Abstract
An experiment was conducted at horticulture farm, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during April-July 2019 to evaluate the spirulina and oscillatoria as bio-fertilizer for okra production. The experiment conducted with four treatments viz. Control (T0), Oscillatoria (T0s), Spirulina (TSp) and Spirulina + Oscillatoria (TSp+os) following Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The both application of oscillatoria and spirulina treatment exhibit significant differences with other studied treatments and influenced to increase the yield (25.5%) over control. However, individual application of oscillatoria and spirulina were related to the best bio-fertilizer of okra production and increased yield (19.3% and 21.4% respectively) as compared to control. So, the effectiveness of all the treatment, individual use of oscillatoria and spirulina will be the prominent bio-fertilizer for safe and organic crops production and, both use of oscillatoria and spirulina is recommended.

Effect of cowdung and boron on growth and yield of broccoli (Brassica oleracea)
Abstract
An experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, during the period from October 2014 to February 2015 to study the effects of cow dung and boron on growth and yield of broccoli. The experiment consisted of two factors; Factor A: cow dung - 4 levels such as C0: no cow dung (control), C1: cow dung 10 ton/ha, C2: cow dung 15 ton/ha and C3: cow dung 20 ton/ha. Factor B: boron - 4 levels, such as B0- no boron (control), B1: boron 1 kg/ha, B2: boron 2 kg/ha and B3: boron 3 kg/ha. The experiment was laid out following a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. In case of cow dung the maximum plant height at 60 DAT (61.47 cm), spread of plant at 60 DAT (50.00 cm), number of leaves per plant at 60 DAT (11.39), length of the largest leaf at 60 DAT (57.69 cm), primary curd weight (374.58 g), yield per hectare (15.74 t/ha) were recorded from C3 ( cow dung 20 ton/ha) treatment and the lowest was recorded from the control(C0) treatment. In case of boron the maximum plant height at 60 DAT (57.69 cm), spread of plant at 60 DAT (48.44 cm), number of leaves per plant at 60 DAT (11.21), length of the largest leaf at 60 DAT (54.45 cm), primary curd weight (286.78 g), yield per hectare (12.03 t/ha) and the minimum days required for curd initiation (51.17 DAT) were recorded from B2 (boron 2kg/ha) treatment and the lowest was recorded from control (B0) treatment. Regarding combination of cow dung and boron the maximum plant height at 60 DAT (63.11 cm), spread of plant at 60 DAT (52.33 cm), number of leaves per plant at 60 DAT (12.97), length of the largest leaf at 60 DAT (60.25 cm), primary curd weight (399.33 g), yield per hectare (16.71 t/ha) and the minimum days required for curd initiation (50.10 DAT), were recorded from C3B2 (cow dung 20 t/ha and boron 2 kg/ha) treatment and the lowest was recorded from C0B0 (no cow dung and no boron) treatment. The highest production of broccoli is obtained from 20 ton/ha cow dung and 2 kg/ha boron at Horticulture farm condition of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh.

Bio-efficacy of bio-pesticides against tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta, a threatening pest of tomato
Abstract
Tomato (Solanum lycoperdicum L.) is the most popular vegetable crop in Bangladesh as well as in the world. Huge amount of Tomato fruits became lost due to attack of insect pest. The yield of tomato decrease due to increase of infestation. Experiments were conducted at the Entomology laboratory and field laboratory under the Department of Entomology in Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh during Rabi season (01 October, 2018 to 15 March, 2019) in order to evaluate the bio-efficacy of some bio-pesticides for controlling tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta. The experiment was laid out in complete randomized design (CRD) with five (05) replications and randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three (03) replications in laboratory and field condition, respectively. Tomato var. BARI tomato-09 (Lalima) variety was used as experimental crop. Five (05) bio-pesticides viz. Neem leaf extract @ 2.0 ml/L, Bishkathali leaf extract @ 2.0 ml/L, Lemon extract @ 2.0 ml/L, Garlic clove extract @ 2.0ml/L and Mahagany seed extract @ 2.0 ml/L were used as treatments. From the result, it clearly revealed that, among five (05) bio-pesticides, neem leaf extract @ 2.0 ml/L is the best followed by garlic clove extract, lemon extract, bishkathali leaf extract and mahagany seed extract for controlling tomato leaf miner in both laboratory and field condition i.e. neem leaf extract @ 2.0 ml/L can act as an effective bio-pesticides control agent against tomato leaf miner while yield and yield attributes were also higher. On the other hand, based on the tomato yield and percentage of tomato fruit infestation, the present study showed that positive co-relation (significant correlation) existed between percent infestation of test fruit and yield loss of tomato. It could be recommended that further trail of this work in different doses and the effect of toxicity on human, soil and environment is needed for researcher and farmers.

Abstract
The investigation was conducted at the laboratories of the Departments of Horticulture, Biochemistry and Plant pathology, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during 23 June 2009 to 10 November 2009 to study the effect of storage period on physico-chemical and microbial properties of two important varieties of mango- namely, Fazli and Bombai. Time after harvest had significant influence on peel colour, fruit firmness, total weight loss, moisture and dry matter content, pH, titratable acidity, vitamin C, TSS (total soluble solids), disease incidence, and disease severity. It was found that change in colour and firmness were faster in Bombai than Fazli. Fazli contained significantly higher concentration of vitamin C (51.12 mg/100 g) than in Bombai (34.69 mg/100 g). Vitamin C and titratable acidity declined sharply with the progress of storage duration. pH and TSS was found increasing trend within different storage duration in both varieties. β-carotene of mango pulp at mature-green and eating ripe conditions of Fazli and Bombai varieties were 190.53 and 219.13 µg/100g and 1086.61 and 2868.49 µg/100g, respectively, indicating that Bombai contained much higher concentration of β-carotene than in Fazli. The level of disease incidence was found higher in Bombai than Fazli in the period of experiment. Between the two varieties postharvest physico-chemical properties like colour, firmness, total weight loss, diseases incidence and diseases severity changing rate is faster in Bombai which leads to shorter shelf life compare to Fazli. On the other hand, in Fazli variety moisture, dry matter content, titratable acidity, pH, TSS changing pattern is quicker. In aspect of nutrition, Fazli and Bombai are enriched with higher amount of vitamin C and Vitamin A, respectively.
Key Words: Mango, Storage, Physico-chemical change, Nutritional change, Vitamin C and β-carotene
