An experiment was conducted at the RDRS Farm, Rangpur, Bangladesh to evaluate production opportunity and income generation from growing ratoon rice in between boro and aman seasons during May to July in fallow land as additional harvests. Ratoon seedlings of ACI-2 boro hybrid rice was transplanted and tested against the performance of conventional transplanted BR11 and BRRI dhan46. BR11 gave higher grain yield and profit than ratoon cropping. However, ratoon crop required only 75-80 days for maturity. Thus, it would be possible to incorporate rice ratoon cropping in fallow lands immediately after harvest of boro rice in April- May as additional crop. After harvests of the ratoon rice, farmers can grow traditional aman varieties as conventional practice. If ratoon of ACI-2 (hereafter ratoon rice)-BRRI dhan46 cropping system is practiced then total grain yield from the system was 8.42 t ha-1, which was almost double than conventional BR11 or BRRI dhan46 cultivation. Total net income of boro and ratoon rice-BRRI dhan46 system was also higher (Tk 55,090 ha-1) compared to traditional BR11 aman rice cultivation (Tk 35,802 ha-1). The overall result indicated that just immediate after boro rice harvests, growing rice from ratoon seedlings of ACI-2 followed by BRRI dhan46 in aman season provided higher net profit than traditional cultivation of BR11. The result also implies that growing rice by using ratoon seedlings can ensure three harvests (boro rice-ratoon rice-aman rice) in the same year instead of growing two traditional rice (boro rice-aman rice) crops in a year with additional net profit of Tk 19,288 ha-1 year-1. Moreover, use of rice ratoon seedlings might help farmers in intensification of crop in flash flood prone areas of the country.\u0000Ann. Bangladesh Agric.

Jute seed produced from three genotypes (O-72, O-3820 and Acc.4311) sown on three dates (31 July, 15 August and 30 August) over four locations (Manikganj, Cumilla, Dinajpur and Jashore) and preserved in plastic containers at ambient condition. Seed qualities were assessed in the laboratory for every six months of storage. Results showed that fresh jute seed maintained 94 to 98% germination which declined with the advent of storage period. Irrespective of genotype, sowing date and location, germination capacity of jute seed remained more than 80% up to 6 months of storage at ambient condition. Afterwards, seed harvested from genotype Acc.4311 sown on 15 August at Manikganj maintained the highest germination (86%) after 12 months of storage. Seedling dry weight of all the genotypes also decreased over the storage period. However, rate of reduction of seedling dry weight was lower in seed harvested from the crop sown on 15 August which indicates that seed obtained from this time can maintain better seedling dry weight even after 12 months of storage. Contrary, electrical conductivity of seed electrolytes increased with the increase of storage period although it was the lowest (285 μ Scm-1) in seed of genotype Acc.4311 harvested from 15 August sowing at Manikganj. Considering different qualities of stored jute seed, the genotype Acc.4311 supposed to be promising for producing good quality seed sown on mid-August at Manikganj environment.\u0000Ann.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important cereals and considered as a drought sensitive crop species. A field experiment was conducted in the vinylhouse of the Department of Agronomy, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Bangladesh, during March - August 2018 to evaluate the performance of 38 rice genotypes under control and drought conditions. The experiment was laid out in a completely randomized design containing two water regimes with three replications. The water regimes were well-watered and induced moisture stress conditions. Multivariate and principal components analyses revealed that different plant characters, viz. plant height, total tillers hill-1, panicle number hill-1, length of panicle, filled grains panicle-1, 1000-grain weight, grain yield plant-1 and straw weight plant-1 showed a wide range of variation due to variation in moisture level. Correlation study and biplot analysis considering PC1 and PC2 explained that grain yield was positively correlated with filled grain panicle-1, total tiller hill-1, panicle number hill-1 and 1000-grain weight. Based on the grain yield plant-1 (g) and others agronomic characters, the genotypes BU Acc 33 (26.68 g), BU Acc 30 (21.81 g), and BU Acc 21 (20.58 g) were identified as promising genotypes for developing drought tolerant variety (ies).\u0000Ann.

Wheat at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50% of the normal seed rates were mixed with full seed rate of lentil to find out a suitable mixing rate of wheat for maximum total yield from unit land. The study was conducted in a split plot design with three replications. Lentil yields obtained with single and two irrigations were identical and higher than with no irrigation. The highest wheat yield was obtained with two irrigations. Total yield was the highest with application of two irrigations. Mixing different proportions of wheat with lentil produced 95-171% additional yield over sole cropping of lentil. Mixing of wheat at 25-35% with lentil was found to be judicious for obtaining maximum total yields. The highest protein yield was obtained with 30-35% and 35% mixing rates of wheat at zero and single irrigation levels. Growing wheat with lentil resulted in increased protein yield in wheat than sole cropping. The highest land equivalent ratio (LER) values were obtained when 30-35% of wheat seed rate were mixed with lentil. Application of two irrigations resulted in high LER values. It is concluded that use of 35% of wheat seed rate along with full seed rate of lentil under two levels of irrigations would be the best mixing ratio for obtaining the highest wheat and total grain yield.\u0000Ann.

In the first experiment, net piece substrates were added with an arrangement to increase the surface area of nursery cages to 50% and 75% and compared with cages without any substrate (control). In the second experiment, maintaining surface area increment at 75% in all cages, the net piece substrates were arranged in three different orientations of horizontal, vertical, and 45o angle sloping. Experiments were conducted in a pond of Faculty of Fisheries, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Gazipur, Bangladesh for a period of 45 days in June –August of 2015 and 2016. A completely randomized design was followed to assign the treatments with three replications. The 75% area increment group showed significantly higher (P < 0.05) growth (1.02 ± 0.09 g) and survival rate (79.43 ± 1.63%), compared to 50% area increment (0.96 ± 0.05 g and 75.03 ± 2.45%) and control group (0.79 ± 0.06 g and 66.66 ± 3.57%).

The experiment was conducted at seedling stage with four salinity treatments namely 0, 8, 12 and 16 dSm-1 following Completely Randomized design. All the genotypes displayed considerable reduction in their morphological traits, least affecting the tolerant one. None of the genotypes were survived at 12 and 16 dSm-1 stress condition. Among the lines tested, SB-02 and SB-05 were identified as salt tolerant at 8 dSm-1 based on salinity susceptibility index (SSI) scoring. These genotypes suffered less in reduction of leaf chlorophyll content (SPAD) and increase of Na+/K+ than the susceptible genotypes. For all the traits viz. shoot length, root length, total length, shoot fresh weiht, root fresh weight, shoot dry weight, root dry weight, total fresh weight, total dry weight, percent live leaves, chlorophyll content and Na+/K+ ratio, the phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) was higher than that of genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV). All the traits studied showed medium to high heritability ranging between 43.81% (SPAD) to 96.65% (shoot length). The genotypes were grouped into two clusters considering both Euclidian distance and Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean analysis. Lokon, SB-02 and SB-05 are on the same cluster as tolerant, and SB-7 and Asset on the other as susceptible to salt stress. The molecular pattern using by SSR marker displayed an average number of 3.33 alleles per locus with PIC (Polymorphism Information Content) values ranged from 0.2688 (sat_655 and satt728) to 0.7680 (sat_210).
