Bangladesh positioned as third rice producing country in the world. In Bangladesh, regional growth and trend in rice production determinants, disparities and similarities of rice production environments are highly desirable. In this study, the secondary time series data of area, production, and yiel...

A detailed study was carried out with the postharvest mangoes (namely, the Langra and the Khirshapat) treated with different levels of Bavistin DF (BDF) solution (namely, 250, 500, and 750 ppm) for obtaining results on biochemical changes as well as storability of postharvest mango. The experiment w...

Rice consumption is one of the major pathways for As intake in populations that depend on a rice diet in several countries of South and South-east Asia. Pot experiments were undertaken to investigate the effects of water management (WM), arsenic (As) contaminated soil-water and Phosphorus (P) rates ...

Productivity of the rice–wheat system is critical to the food security of Bangladesh. However, many concerns about the sustainability of this system exist because of low soil organic matter (SOM). In this context, an experiment was performed in the agro-ecological zone of the High Ganges River Flood...

Built on deep-rooted political and cultural heritage, ‘rice security’ is the foundation of ‘food security’ in Bangladesh. The country has been in production-surplus of rice in the current decade feeding over 165 million people. This on-going ‘selfsufficiency momentum’ would require to maintain to me...

High arsenic (As) concentrations in soil may lead to elevated concentrations of arsenic in agricultural products. Field experiments were conducted to examine the effects of water management (WM) and Phosphorus (P) rates on As uptake, rice growth, yield and yield attributes of winter (boro) and monso...

In the High Ganges River Floodplain of Bangladesh, rice-based cropping systems with lower tillage, labor and irrigation water requirement and higher productivity and profitability are needed. To explore options for achieving this, a replicated cropping system experiment was conducted at Jessore to e...

This study deals with the determination of paper-making potentialities of banana pseudo-stems growing in Thailand. Chlorine dioxide (Do and D1) and extraction (Ep) treatments were all performed in sealed plastic bags in a thermostatically controlled water bath. Unbleached banana kraft pulp in the ka...

Soil salinity is one of the major yield-limiting factors in the coastal ecosystems of Bangladesh. An efficient fertilizer management practice and selection of appropriate crop cultivars could play a crucial role in improving yield and promoting low-carbon agriculture across saline soils. A two-year ...

Droughts pose a severe environmental risk in countries that rely heavily on agriculture, resulting in heightened levels of concern regarding food security and livelihood enhancement. Bangladesh is highly susceptible to environmental hazards, with droughts further exacerbating the precarious situatio...

Nitrogen and potassium are the yield-limiting nutrients in rice production regions of Bangladesh. Use of efficient N and K dose is an important complementary strategy in improving rice yield and quality and reducing cost of production. In order to assess the influence of nitrogen and potassium on th...

In the High Ganges River Floodplain of Bangladesh, rice is normally established by puddling and transplanting. This is a costly practice in terms of tillage, labour and irrigation requirement. Dry seeding of rice has the potential to reduce these costs and facilitate timely crop establishment. Howev...
