OBJECTIVE: To determine whether maternal anthropometry predicted birth weight, and if so, to identify which cut-offs provided the best prediction of low birth weight (LBW) in a field situation. DESIGN: Community-based longitudinal study. SETTING: A rural union of Bhaluka Upazila, Mymensingh, located...

Twenty-two maize hybrids were evaluated to find out their variability, character association and path coefficient of grain yield and its component characters. Significant differences were found among the genotypes for the characters studied. Ear length and grain yield (t/ha) had moderate genotypic c...

Correlation and path coefficients analyses among fourteen morphological characters were studied in six advanced lines of Basmati rice and one commercial check namely BRRI Dhan 29. In general, genotypic correlation coefficients were higher than the corresponding phenotypic correlation coefficients su...

Biofilm is a complex matrix made up of extracellular polysaccharides, DNA, and proteins that protect bacteria against physical, chemical, and biological stresses and allow them to survive in harsh environments. Safe and healthy foods are mandatory for saving lives. However, foods can be contaminated...

INTRODUCTION: Norovirus is not usually investigated in diarrheal patients in Bangladesh which may account for the many cases where no pathogens are identified. METHODOLOGY: Stool specimens collected from diarrheal patients from three hospitals in Bangladesh during 2011 were investigated for noroviru...

Salt tolerance is a complex polygenic trait that is genotype specific and tolerance can depend upon a plants developmental stage. To evaluate reproductive stage specific salt tolerance as well as investigate the inherent variability of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) genotypes with respect to seed yield...

Objective : To evaluate the effect of continuation and discontinuation of oxytocin infusion on maternal and neonatal outcome once the active phase of labour is established. Methods: This is a prospective randomized clinical trial on 100 pregnant women in whom labour was induced on obstetric ground i...

Haors are slightly depressed bowl or saucer-shaped wetland ecosystems, between the natural levees of rivers flowing into sea. Landraces are locally adapted germplasms, often with and have valuable traits. Genetically diverse germplasm is a valuable resource for the crop improvement programme. Theref...

Eighteen advanced S4 lines of maize extracted from NK46 were evaluated through line × tester method by using two testers for grain yield and its components. General combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) effects of crosses were determined to evaluate the prospective inbred line...

Potato is an important commercial crop in Bangladesh. Unfortunately, potato suffers from many destructive diseases, of which late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans is the most important one. In Bangladesh, late blight causes serious yield loss in potato every year. Late blight was first repor...

Although Bangladesh is known to be burdened with elevated tropospheric ozone levels, little is known about its effects on food security. We conducted field experiments in four highly polluted rice growing environments of Bangladesh in three cropping seasons (2020-2022), in which we grew 20 different...
