Impact of SPAD 502 meter based N fertilization on growth and yield attributes of wheat
Abstract
A field experiment was undertaken at the Agronomic Research Site of the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur, Bangladesh to optimize nitrogen application in wheat field using SPAD-502 Chlorophyll Meter. Four nitrogen (N) rates from 0 to 120 kg ha-1 and different timing of N application were maintained in the experiment to test the usefulness of SPAD threshold values in decision making for supplemental nitrogen supply in wheat. A non-fertilized treatment was compared with three fertilized treatments getting 20 kg ha-1 of N at the time of crop emergence. After that supplementary nitrogen was applied to the three fertilized treatments @ 20, 40 or 60 kg N ha-1 when the SPAD values fell below the critical value of 45 SPAD (dynamic fertilization of nitrogen). Tillering of wheat plant was strongly influenced by N supply and spike bearing tillering enhanced when adequate N was applied. Application up to 120 kg N ha-1 significantly increased the plant height, total dry matter production, number of effective tillers, crop growth rate, yield contributing attributes and SPAD chlorophyll index in wheat. On the other hand, only culm reserve translocation to grain was observed higher in control and gradually decreased with increasing the levels of nitrogen. The ability of the SPAD meter to detect treatment differences due to various nitrogenous doses varied with the growth stage. The SPAD reading at all stages is positively correlated with wheat yield. Thus, the timing of nitrogen application should be closely coincided with the plant need-based to optimize the productivity of wheat.
Keywords: Nitrogen, SPAD reading, Dry matter, Culm reserve and Yield.

Reduced stomatal conductance and irradiance account for soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] yield decline in maize-soybean intercrop
Abstract
An increase in human population and urbanization has reduced availability of agricultural land making intercropping a system of choice amongst farmers with small land holdings. A study to determine the effect of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] and maize (Zea mays) intercropping on the interception of photosynthetically active radiation, stomatal conductance and yield of soybean was conducted in Siaya, Busia and Nakuru counties in Kenya during 2018 season. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) and had three replicates. It had seven treatments; sole maize, sole soybean, within row intercropping, 1M:1S row pattern, 2M: 2S row pattern, 2M: 1S row pattern, and 1M:2S row pattern. Collected data were analyzed using analysis variance (ANOVA) using the linear mixed model for RCBD with a factorial treatment arrangement in the Genstat 18th edition. Soybean leaf chlorophyll content under intercropping was 21.16% more than chlorophyll content attained under sole cropping. Intercropping reduced soybean stomatal conductance, interception of photosynthetically active radiation and grain yield by 42.15, 78.88 and 83.85% respectively, compared to mono-cropping. Intercropping of maize and soybean was more productive than sole cropping and that maize was a more competitive crop than soybean in the mixture. Planting maize and soybean in 1M: 1S row pattern led to relatively higher soybean yields compared to other row patterns and is recommended for intercropping of the two crops in Kenya.

Effect of phytohormone on shoot generation potentiality in rucola
Abstract
The present investigation was carried out to study the in vitro regeneration in Rucola. Different concentrations and combinations of BA and IBA were used for regeneration of root and shoot in rucola. Cotyledonary nodes were used as explants. The highest number of shoots (4.60) and leaves (6.4) were recorded in treatment 4.0 mg/l BA with minimum (9.00) days. The maximum days (14.00) was noticed in a simple MS medium to regenerate lower no. of shoots. The treatment BA 4.0 mg/l produced the highest number of the main root (4.60) while it was lowest in the control treatment. The highest number of shoot (3.40) was noticed from the BA 4.0 mg/l + IBA 3.0 mg/l. The treatment BA 4.0 mg/l+ IBA 4.0 mg/l gave the highest number of leaves (11.00) and maximum number of roots (3.60). The regenerated plantlet was acclimatized in natural pot and soil conditions. Finally, a convenient protocol technique has been established for in vitro regeneration of rucola, which can be used for large scale plantlet production.

Responses of broiler chickens fed varying levels of dietary waterleaf (Talinum triangulare)
Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the responses of broiler chickens fed varying levels of dietary Waterleaf (Talinum trangulare). One hundred and twenty broiler chickens were used for this study. Waterleaf (Talinum trangulare) was introduced to the birds at four (4) weeks of age after they were randomly allotted into four (4) dietary treatments. Treatment 1, which was the control, had no Waterleaf (Talinum trangulare), Treatments 2, 3, and 4 had 100g, 200g and 300g of Waterleaf respectively, in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Water was given ad libitum. The data collected from this study showed that the final weight, weekly weight gain, weekly feed consumption and feed efficiency showed a significant difference (P<0.05) between the treatments, indicating a higher feed utilization by the birds in Treatment 4. However, the results obtained from the organ weights, showed significant effects (P<0.05) on the liver, with the highest value in treatment 4. The test on serum enzymes showed that Aspartate Amino Transferase (AST) and Alkaline Phosphate Transferase (ALP) showed significant differences (P<0.05) between the treatments, while the serum lipid profile indicated a significant difference (P<0.05) in the High Density Lipoproteins (HDL). The analysis of the Blood electrolytes and blood chemistry showed significant differences (P<0.05) in Potassium (k), Sodium (Na), Bicarbonate and Conjugated Bilirubin amongst the treatments. The Lymphocyte counts showed a significant difference (P<0.05) amongst the treatment in the haematological analysis. From the results, it can be concluded that Waterleaf (Talinum trangulare) improves feed utilization, stimulates appetite and a good source of electrolytes. It is, therefore, recommended to supplement broiler diets with Waterleaf (Talinum trangulare).
Key Words: Aspartate Amino Transferase, Feed Efficiency, High Density Lipoproteins, Lymphocytes and Potassium.

Combine effect of BA and IAA on shoot and root induction potentiality in chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium)
Abstract
The present investigation was carried out to study the in vitro regeneration in chrysanthemum. MS medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of BA and IAA for regeneration and multiple shoot formations. Nodal segments were used as explants. The shoot induction percentage was highest (76%) in the treatment BA 2.0 mg/l+ IAA 1.0 mg/l. The same combination regenerated the highest number of shoot (3.40) with minimum (7.60) days. The maximum days (15.80) was noticed in a simple MS medium. The highest number of leaf (11.60) was observed in the treatment of 3.0 mg/l BA+ 1.0 mg/l IAA. The treatment BA 2.0 mg/l + IAA 1.0 mg/l produced the highest number of main root (4.20) while it was lowest in the control treatment. A robust and healthy plantlet was regenerated within 28 days of subculture in the treatment BA 2.0 mg/l + IAA 1.0 mg/l. The regenerated plantlet was acclimatized in natural pot and soil conditions. An approximate 75% plantlet was established in both systems. Finally, a convenient protocol technique has been established for in vitro regeneration of chrysanthemum which can be used for large scale plantlet production in chrysanthemum.

Effect of salinity (NaCl) on germination and seedling growth of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.)
Abstract
Soil salinity adversely affects crops at the critical stages of growth, which in severe cases causes total yield loss. So screening of salt tolerant genotypes is very important and it can be done during germination and early growth stage by quick and easy method. An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of salinity on germination and seedling growth of mungbean genotypes. The experiment comprised two factors viz. genotypes (BARI Mung-6, Binamoog-5, Binamoog-8 and Tila Mung) and salinity levels (0 mM/L, 40 mM/L, 80 mM/L, 120 mM/L and 160 mM/L). Among the seed germination parameters, no significant genotypic difference observed at 0 mM /L and 40 mM/L. At 120 mM/L, the highest germination capacity (93%) and germination percentage (94%) was found in Binamoog-8 followed by BARI Mung-6 (91% and 92% respectively) and the lowest value was in Tila Mung (73% and 76% respectively). At 160 mM/L, BARI Mung-6 showed the highest germination capacity (95%) and germination percentage (95%) and Tila Mung showed the lowest value (51% and 52% respectively). At 160 mM/L, the highest shoot length (2.8 cm), seedling vigor index (488.26), seedling dry weight (45.9 mg) found in BARI Mung-6 while the lowest in Tila Mung (1.56 cm, 180.93 and 32.52 mg respectively). Regarding all the germination and seedling growth parameters, BARI Mung-6 was found superior to other genotypes. Study should be conducted in the field for better understanding the effects of salinity stress on growth and yield performance of mungbean.

Effect of hyaluronic acid on the organogenesis of an Oncidium cultivar
Abstract
Protocorm-like bodies (PLBs) multiplication is one of the most preferable in vitro methods to increase the number of orchids in a short time. The current investigation was conducted to understand the impact of two types of hyaluronic acid (HA12 and HA20) using various concentrations on the regeneration of Oncidium Aloha ‘Iwanaga’. The highest number of PLBs were found at 0.1mg/l of HA12 (20.7/explant) and HA20 (23.1/explant) respectively. The highest number of shoots were found at 0.1mg/l of HA12 (2.1/explant) and HA20 (3.5/explant) respectively. The highest formation rate of PLBs and shoots was found in both hyaluronic acids at 0.1mg/l. No root formation was observed. The highest fresh weight was obtained with 0.1mg/l HA12 (195.5mg) and 0.1mg/l HA20 (212.3mg) respectively. So use of hyaluronic acid could be a potential source of PLB proliferation within short time in Oncidium Aloha ‘Iwanaga’.

In vitro regeneration of an Oncidium cultivar using different concentrations of BAP under different LEDs
Abstract
Different developmental processes in plants are highly influenced by cytokinins. On the other hand, recently light emitting diode has garnered much reputation in plant tissue culture system due to its high energy efficiency and versatility. In the present study the effective concentration of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) on the organogenesis of Oncidium Aloha ‘Iwanaga’ was assessed and further evaluated under different LEDs. From the initial experiment, 0.1mg/l BAP was found to be the optimum concentration among others in terms of the average number of PLBs/explant and other parameters. The highest number of PLBs (28.1/explant) and shoots (2.0/explant) was obtained using 0.1mg/l BAP. Regarding root formation no response was observed under the treatment applied. In case of the LED treatments with 0.1mg/l BAP, the trial indicated that the number of PLBs increased under white (28.1/explant) and blue (26.2/explant) LED. Maximum shoot regeneration and fresh weight were observed under white LED compared to control. So, a combination of 0.1mg/l BAP with white LED could be proposed to be suitable for in vitro regeneration of Oncidium Aloha ‘Iwanaga’.

Effect of supplemental Aloe vera gel and amla fruit extract in drinking water on growth performance, immune response, haematological profiles and gut microbial load of broiler chicken
Abstract
The use of herbs and spices has gained increasing interest as feed additives and possible alternatives to antibiotics in poultry production. The effects of using different levels of aloe vera and amla extract on growth performance, selected blood parameters, intestinal microflora, and immune response of broiler chickens were investigated in this study. 144 commercial day-old Cobb 500 broiler chicks were randomly allotted to six treatment groups with three replicates of eight chicks each. The treatments were T1 (Control), T2 (Aloe vera, 5ml/L), T3 (Aloe vera, 10ml/L), T4 (Amla 5ml/L), T5 (Amla 10ml/L), T6 (Antibiotic 0.2g/L). The experimental treatments were administered through drinking water. All the experimental birds were provided standard husbandry conditions like light, space, ventilation and relative humidity. The result showed that the average body weight of the birds at the end of the 28 days was higher (p<0.05) in all treated groups than the control. Feed conversion ratio for both the supplemented groups together with antibiotic group was significantly improved than the control group. However, Feed intake was non-significant (p>0.05) among the treatment groups. All haematological parameters (RBC, WBC, HCT and Hb) did not show any significant (p>0.05) difference among the treatments and the values were found to be within the normal ranges. Aloe vera gel group exhibited significantly improved antibody titre (P<0.05) against NDV compared to broilers in the control and other groups. Furthermore, supplementation of aloe vera and amla significantly (P<0.05) decreased gut Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. then the control, but did not affect the total bacterial count. Thus, the findings showed that aloe vera and amla improved performance indices and gut microflora in broiler chicks. It also induced the immune response in the studied population. Therefore, aloe vera and amla extract may potentially be used as an antibiotic alternative in poultry production.

Quality status of farmers’ saved rice (Oryza sativa) seed in Bangladesh
Abstract
Farmers’ saved seed is the principal source of rice seeds in Bangladesh. However, there is no enough information on the quality status of farmers’ saved rice seed of the country. Henceforth, this study was carried out to evaluate the qualities of farmers’ saved rice seeds across the country. The current study considered thirty (30) local and high yielding varieties of farmers’ saved rice seed and subjected to moisture content, number count, purity and germination test. In the number count test, most of the contaminated varieties were admixed with other rice varieties. In most of the varieties, the purity of seed fluctuated from 95-100%. Among all varieties, the highest purity of seed was observed in Kalijira (100%), and the lowest purity was recorded in Kaliboro (85.20%). The seed moisture content varied between 12-15%. The majority of the tested varieties had moisture content above 12%, which reflected as low germination percentage in the laboratory and field condition. The 1000-seed weight was the maximum in cv. Hariath (32.33 g) and the lowest was 9.83 g in Tulsimala. Most of the variety represented better germination in the laboratory condition in compare to field. Further, investigations are needed to ascertain the seed health to come up with a concrete reason for poor germination as well as seed quality of farmers’ saved rice seed of Bangladesh.
