Resource shortages, driven by climatic, institutional and social changes in many regions of Asia, combined with growing imperatives to increase food production whilst ensuring environmental sustainability, are driving research into modified agricultural practices. Well-tested cropping systems models...

The main concern of the present paper is to study the MHD mixed convective heat transfer for an incompressible, laminar, and electrically conducting viscoelastic fluid flow past a permeable wedge with thermal radiation via a semianalytical/numerical method, called Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM). The...

Conventional tilled transplanting, a widely practiced method of rice (Oryza sativa L.) establishment in puddled soils in rice-rice and rice-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) systems in Asia, requires a large amount of labor and water, which are becoming scarce and expensive. Growing more food with the sa...

Brown planthopper (BPH; Nilaparvata lugens Stål) is one of the most serious insect pests, which reduce rice yield remarkably in many rice-growing areas. A few plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria induce systemic resistance against herbivorous insects. Here we show that root drenching of rice seedlin...

Most of the tomato varieties in Bangladesh are of inbred type indicating need to characterize and assess morphological variability as the resources of selection of genotypes with desired traits toward variety development. Twenty-two promising tomato inbred lines were characterized for twenty-seven m...

Production of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) in Bangladesh, Malaysia, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Laos has been severely affected by yellow leaf curl disease. Tomato leaf samples were collected from symptomatic tomato plants from farmers' fields in the five countries from 1997 to 1999. DNA was extracted...

The coastal zone of the Ganges delta has many constraints and threats that have hampered development. However, recent research indicates that there are numerous viable options for cropping systems intensification in the coastal zone that have yet to be fully exploited. The main opportunity involves ...

Background Acute diarrhoeal disease management often requires rehydration alone without antibiotics. However, non-indicated antibiotics are frequently ordered and this is an important driver of antimicrobial resistance. The mHealth Diarrhoea Management (mHDM) trial aimed to establish whether electro...
