Wheat var. ‘BARI Gom-30’ produced the highest grain yield (5.02 t/ha in 2016-17 and 4.83 t/ha in 2017-18 with pooled value of 4.93 t/ha) associated with higher number of spikes/m2 (372-444/m2 with pooled value of 408/m2) and higher number of grains/spike (pooled value of 45/spike). ‘BARI Gom-30’ required field duration of 113 days. Two years’ results revealed that ‘BARI Gom-30’ performed better in Chalan Beel area in respect of higher mean grain yield (4.93 t/ha) and economics (Gross margin of Tk.100400/ha and BCR of 1.78). There was no blast infestation in the experimental field in both the years. Farmers showed moderate interest to grow wheat in Chalan Beel area specially in upland (medium low land of Beel) condition. Among the wheat variety ‘BARI Gom-30’ could be suitable for cultivation in Chalan Beel area. \u0000Bangladesh J. Agril.

Fifteen hawkers and five producers were randomly selected to collect the information by the pre-tested questionnaire from each location both from producer to consumer. Most of the hawkers of Bogura was above 40 years old (80%) followed by Dhaka who were 25-39 years old (60%).

A non-treated control was included for comparison with the packages. The experiment was conducted in the research field of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur during rabi season of 2018. All the treatment packages appreciably reduced CMV incidence of cucumber over control. Disease incidence was reduced to 35.71 to 76.97% over control and yield was increased to 0.37 to 6.40 t/h due to all treatment combinations compared to control. Two treatment packages T2- Netting seedling, sticky yellow trap, polythene mulch and 4 sprays of Imidacloprid 0.1 % at 15 days interval and T1- T2+Bio-neem0.2 % instead of Imidacloprid were considered as the most effective management options on the basis of minimum disease incidence (9.67; 10.5), higher yield (13.04 t/ha; 12.96 t/ha) and Marginal benefit cost ratio (1:3.17&1:2.93), respectively.

The prepared formulations were subjected to nutritional and sensory evaluation after the formulations were done. Nutritional parameters including titrable acidity, pH, vitamin C, total sugar and total soluble solids were analysed. Sensory attributes of color, aroma, taste, appearance (cloudiness) and overall acceptability were evaluated using a seven point hedonic scale. The nutritional analysis of the fresh low calorie RTS beverage showed the increasing trend in titrable acidity (from 0.32% to 1.3% as citric acid), vitamin C (from 8.35 mg/100 ml to 17.75 mg/100 ml), total sugar (from 2.75% to 4.99%), and total soluble solids (from 4.64 ° Brix to 5.17 °Brix) with the increase of lime juice from 3% to 15%. The pH was reduced when the lime juice concentration increased. The sensory assessment of fresh low calorie RTS beverage revealed that there were significant (p < 0.05) differences among the sensory attributes. The highest overall acceptability was observed in the formulation with 18% cabbage juice and 12% lime juice with ideal functional qualities. \u0000Bangladesh J. Agril.
