Soybean (Glycine max L.) is an important oilseed crop around the world. Soybean growth, development and productivity are affected by changing environments that induce abiotic stresses. In soybean, salinity acts as a major abiotic stress that increases electrolyte leakage as well as Na + and proline ...

Bangladesh needs to produce more food on less land to assure future food security for an increasing population. The two techniques that need to be adopted more frequently are an increase in cropping intensity by producing two or more crops on the same piece of land, and an increase in the productivi...

High quality genomic DNA is the first step in the development of DNA-based markers for fingerprinting and genetic diversity of crops, including mango (Mangifera indica L.), a woody perennial. Poor quality genomic DNA hinders the successful application of analytical DNA-based tools. Standard protocol...

Improper doses and splits of nitrogenous fertilizer are two major constraints achieving higher yield of transplanted aman rice in Bangladesh. A field experiment was carried out to study the effect of different levels and split application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer on yield and yield attributes of t...

Abstract It is important to identify and develop stable wheat varieties that can grow under heat stress. This important issue was addressed in Bangladesh using six wheat genotypes, including three existing elite cultivars (‘BARI Gom 26’, ‘BARI Gom 27’, ‘BARI Gom 28’) and three advanced lines (‘BAW 1...

Agriculture is the prime economic activity in Bangladesh, but global warming is expected to severely reduce the yield of various crops, including wheat and rice, directly affecting the food security of 165 million people. Even though Bangladesh has achieved significant progress in agriculture, espec...

Abstract Groundnut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important food legume in tropical and subtropical areas because of its ability to adapt to a wide range of agro-climatic regions. Groundnut is usually cultivated in nutrient-poor soil and rain-fed conditions, so average yield tends to be very low relat...

Abstract In South Asia, including Bangladesh, most farmers sow wheat under residual soil moisture after rice is harvested, but the upper layer of soil dries quickly after soil has been prepared for wheat sowing. Crop seeds that are sown either deeply or shallowly can result in failed emergence, low ...

A field experiment was conducted at the Wheat Research Sub-Station of the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Debigonj-Panchagarh, Bangladesh in two wheat-growing seasons to verify the existing potassium (K) rate and to assess the effect of the K application method on wheat cultivation. Eigh...

Although zinc (Zn) and boron (B) positively influence yield and quality of onion (Allium cepa L.) seed, the response is genotype dependent and the interaction of both elements is rarely studied. The study was conducted to investigate the quality of onion, cv. Taherpuri, seed production as influenced...

Bulb weight and plant density affect onion (Allium cepa L.) seed quality. A field experiment was conducted to investigate effects of bulb weight and plant density on yield and yield attributes of onion, cv. Taherpuri, seed. Bulbs with weights of 5 ± 2, 10 ± 2, and 15 ± 2 g, and plant densities of 10...

Farmers in Bangladesh are always seeking an optimal seed rate to reduce production costs and increase wheat yield. The Wheat Research Centre (WRC) of Bangladesh has developed new wheat varieties over several years. To reduce production costs and obtain higher grain yield (GY) from these varieties, o...
