ABSTRACT: A research work was carried out at the research field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, during the period from November 2016 to march 2017 to investigate the effect of four levels of phosphorous viz., 0, 20, 30, 40 kg P ha-1 and three levels of sulphur viz., 0, 10 and 20 kg S ha-1 on seed yield of fenugreek (cv. BARI Methi-1). Recorded data were analysed by using ANOVA technique and the mean differences were adjudged by DMRT at 5% level of probability. Number of pods plant-1 (23.08), weight of straw plot-1 (172.59 g/3.6 m2) and 1000-seed weight (9.98 g) were found maximum from the combined application of 40 kg P ha-1 and 20 kg S ha-1, which.........

ABSTRACT: Although fish is rich nutrient source for mass people of Bangladesh, still limited information available on the nutrient contents of edible marine fishes. This study was conducted with the aim to estimate nutrient contents of some selected major commercially important marine edible fishes Bay of Bengal. Proximate composition and mineral content of five fish species viz. Pampus chinensis, Lates Calcarifer, Johnius argentatus, Harpodon nehereus, Lepturacanthus savala were determined. Proximate analysis revealed that moisture, protein, carbohydrate, lipid, and ash ranged from 78.25±0.12 to 87.3±0.15%, 7.4±0.05 to 14.5±0.13%, 1.4±0.01 to 2.21±0.10% and 1±0.03 to 2.8±0.10% and the maximum content belonged to H. nehereus, L. savala, P. chinensis, J. argentatus, L. savala respectively. The mineral profiles showed that among macro minerals potassium was..........

ABSTRACT: A study to investigate the effect of socking Iris hollandica bulbs in Salicylic acid(SA) on the growth and flowering was conducted at a the plastic houses of the Department of Horticulture and Garden Engineering / college of Agriculture / University of Baghdad at the site of Jadiriya during the fall season of 2016. The bulbs were socked in SA at concentrations of 50, 100, 200 mg/L for three periods: 1, 2, and 3 hours, for the control treatment, bulbs were socked in distilled water only. The results can be summarized as following: Plants that their bulbs were soaked in SA at concentration of 200mg.L-1 for 4 hours were superior in vegetative traits i.e. plant height (78.90 cm), number of leaves (8.25 leaves.plant-1), chlorophyll content in the leaves (66.92 mg.100g -1 fresh weight), number of branches (2.42 branches. plant-1), fresh and dry weight (82.77 ،

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study are to identify soil characteristics and to determine the classification of the soil of the Megawati Soekarno Putri botanical garden in Ratatotok, Southeast Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi Province. This research was conducted based on the land unit approach that the determination was made on the overlay of landform units, land use and slopes that were delineated from the Earth's map, GeoEye image (2011), and SRTM 30 m (2012) imagery. There are 17 units of land in the study area. Identification and inventory of land potential of each unit of land were obtained by observing soil morphology land characteristics on 14 soil profiles. The soil classification was implemented according to Soil Taxonomy (Soil Survey Staff, 2010). Physical and chemical characteristics of the soil were carried out through laboratory tests including texture analysis, C-organic, N-total, P-available, cation exchange capacity.........

ABSTRACT: To assess the variation in bacterial communities and determine the effects of wilting, storage period and molasses inoculant on the bacterial community and fermentation pattern of oats silage. Fermentation pattern, colony counts and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) profiles were determined. The lactic acid content was higher than acetic acid in all silages; however the lactic acid to acetic acid ratio decreased with storage time. Thisalteration from lactic to acetic acid was not prevented even with a combination of wilting and molasses inoculant.The DGGE analyses suggest that facultativelyheterofermentative lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus Lactis and Lactobacillus plantarum) were involved in the shift to acetic acid fermentation. Significant impacts: The bacterial community looks stable compared to fermentation products over the course of long storage periods in oat silage. Acetic acid fermentation in oat silage can be a result of the changes in bacterial metabolism rather than community structure..

ABSTRACT: Climate change is posing a serious threat to agriculture and hence food security of nations. Achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) is thus contingent on adaptation measures that are aimed to reduce vulnerability and build resilience. The ICTs are recognized for strengthening Livelihood Resilience (LR), by providing the necessary support for learning process, flexibility in operations or actions and robustness for continued functionality. Yet, empirical literature is scarce on the effect it has on LR, The research while filling this gap, claims initial application of Protective Motivation Theory to assess the effect of ICTs on LR of agricultural communities like Fisher Folks in Malaysia. Findings reveals Social networking as the main reason for use of ICTs by fisher folks, while early warning dissemination is always channelled through radio with other ICTs complementing. The Multiple Regression revealed additional source of income, threat appraisals (perceived vulnerable and severity of flood), coping appraisal of (self-efficacy) to be key determinants of adaptive behaviour and hence are precursor for LR. Thus it can be said that both ICTs Use and PMT constructs affect the LR, suggesting a focus on innovative use of ICTs for adaptation motivation in flood risk reduction communication.

ABSTRACT: Fishes are known to be good sources of complete protein. The purpose is to study amino acids profile and evaluate nutritional status of commercially important marine fish species of Bangladesh. Total 14 amino acids were detected. Among them eight were essential amino acids and six were non-essential amino acids. Essential amino acids content were ranged from 1523.66±11.60 to 3342.25±32.33mg per 100g.Non-essential amino acids content ranged from 1300.18±9.39 to 2779.65±22.04mg per 100gm.Ratios of total essential amino acids to total non-essential amino acids were foundto be 1.17 to 1.23.Major amino acids were found accordingly Histidine, Glutamic acid, Isoleucine, Tyrosine, Arginine, Aspartic acid, Lysine, Glycine, Alanine, Valine, Serine, Leucine, Threonine and Methionine. The total sum of amino acidsranged from2823.84±21.016 to 6121.9 ± 45.235 mg/100gm. In case.......
