Limnological studies on Different Ponds of Bihar, India: a Review
Get PDFPure water is essential for human survival. The availability of good quality water is an indispensable feature for preventing diseases and improving the quality of life. So, it is necessary to know about the different physicochemical parameters of water such as, temperature, electrical conductivity (EC), total suspended solid (TSS), total dissolved substance (TDS),turbidity, pH, alkalinity, hardness, chloride, sulphate, nitrate, fluoride, dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), nitrate and phosphate. Also Biological parameters such as planktons were examined. Results of the study indicated that the pond water of Bihar is slightly contaminated

SEED TECHNOLOGYThe pot experiment was conducted at the net house of agronomy research field in
Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka-1207 during the period from April to
July 2018 to study the effect of organic manure and different doses of chemical
fertilizers on the yield and seed quality of okra. Two factors were considered for the
present study such as three types of organic manures viz., M
1
= Cowdung (10 t ha
),
M
2
= ACI compost (8 t ha
-1
) and M
3
= Vermicompost (5 t ha
-1
) and four levels of
chemical fertilizers viz., F
0
= No fertilizer (NF), F
1
= Recommended dose of fertilizer
(RDF; where N, P and K was at 60-90-60 kg ha
-1
, respectively), F
2
= 25% less of RDF
(45-67-45) and F
3
= 50% less of RDF (30-45-30). The experiment was laid out in
randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Result revealed
that, most of the studied parameters viz., plant height, pod diameter, pod length, green
pod yield plant

, seeds pod

, 100-seed weight, seed yield plant
-1
and germination
percentage were significantly influenced by organic manures, inorganic fertilizers and
their combination. The highest performances in terms of plant height at 20, 40 and 60
DAS (19.31, 82.28 and 104.96 cm, respectively), pod diameter (3.96 cm), pod length
(11.59 cm), green pod plant
(57.82), seed weight pod

-1
(0.64 kg), seeds pod
(6.01 g), 100-seed weight (6.24 g), seed yield plant
(12.21
g) and shelling % (44.79)was found while vermicompost was used. On the contrary,
the lowest value was observed while cowdung was applied. In terms of fertilizers
doses, highest performances was observed at F
2
= 25% less of RDF treatment
considering the plant height at 20, 40 and 60 DAS (20.05, 79.15 and 100.39 cm,
respectively), branches number plant
-1
(4.54), pod diameter (3.75 cm), pod length
(11.34 cm), green pod plant

(7.38), seeds pod
-1
(59.06), 100-seed weight (6.08 g),
seed yield plant
-1
(9.79 g) and shelling % (41.05). In case of interaction effect of
organic and inorganic fertilizer, the maximum growth and yield attributes were
observed in M

F

except the number of branches plant

(4.60) which was found in
M

treatment combination. However, in case of seed quality parameters viz.,
germination percentage, root-shoot ratio, seedlings fresh weight (FW) and dry weight
(DW), organic and inorganic fertilizers responded differently while in interaction the
highest performances was found in M
3
F
2
combination. Thus it could be concluded
that, application of vermicompost along with 25% less of RDF accelerated growth,
yield and seed quality of okra

Motivations behind farmers’ pesticide use in Bangladesh rice farming
No full textThis paper addresses the motivations behind farmers’ pesticide use in two regions of Bangladesh. The paper considers farmers’ knowledge of arthropods and their perceptions about pests and pest damage, and identifies why many farmers do not use recommended pest management practices. We propose that using the novel approach of classifying farmers according to their motivations and constraints rather than observed pesticide use can improve training approaches and increase farmers’ uptake and retention of more appropriate integrated pest management technologies
