The aim of the study was to determine general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) for fruit yield and its related traits including fruit quality traits. General prediction ratio (GPR) of these 14 traits was greater than 0.5 (50%), indicating predominance of additive gene effects over non-additive gene effects. The estimates of GCA for 19 quantitative traits revealed that the genotypes P2 and P6 were good general combiners for promoting earliness as well as most other important characters viz., number of fruits/ plant, individual fruit weight and fruit yield/ plant/ hectare; P2 and P6 were also good for fruit length and fruit diameter, respectively whereas, P4 was good for main vine length and number of nodes on main vine while, P3 was superior for long fruit and 100-seed weight whereas, P5 was good for number of seeds/ fruit and P1 good for less fruit fly infestation including individual fruit weight and fruit length. The most promising specific combiners for fruit yield, quality and yield components were from the 13 crosses viz., P1 × P2, P1 × P3, P1 × P4, P1 × P7, P2 × P3, P2 × P5, P2 × P6, P2 × P7, P3 × P7, P4 × P5, P4 × P6, P4 × P7 and P5 × P7. Out of 13 crosses only two crosses namely, P1 × P2 and P2 × P6 had both the good general combiner parents (high × high). These two crosses were therefore, amenable for improvement of the respective traits through pedigree selection. Remaining 11 crosses displaying high SCA effects for different traits were observed to be derived from parents having various types of GCA effects (high × medium, high × low, medium × low and low × low). The results of 13 crosses therefore, indicate the operation of additive × additive, additive × dominant and/ or dominant × dominant gene interactions for the genetic control of expression of the relative traits. \u0000Bangladesh J.

The objectives of the study were to estimate general and specific combining ability effects of the inbred lines and to assess the test cross performance and estimate the amount of standard-heterosis of the hybrids for grain yield and yield related characters. Highly significant genotypic differences were observed indicated wide range of variability present among them. Five lines viz. Line 11, Line 14, Line 17, Line 24 and Line 30 were good general combiner for grain yield and possessed high means. Nine crosses showed (Line 18 × BIL22, Line 23 × BIL22, Line 27 × BIL22, Line 7 × BIL28, Line11 × BIL28, Line14 × BIL28, Line 24 × BIL28, Line 25 × BIL28 and Line 30 × BIL28) significant and positive specific combining ability effect for grain yield. The information on the nature of gene action with respective variety and characters might be used depending on the breeding objectives. These crosses, Line 24× BIL28 (11.40 t/ha), Line 18 × BIL22 (11.30 t/ha) and Line 25 × BIL28 (11.20 t/ha) showed higher yield, could be utilized in maize breeding activities. Estimation of heterosis was carried out using two commercial hybrids BARI Hybrid Maize-9 (BHM-9) and NK-40. The percent heterosis for grain yield varied from -23.39 to 4.6% against BHM-9.

The present study was conducted to determine stability for grain yield and yield contributing traits of four finger millet genotypes at three different locations viz; Gazipur, Jamalpur, and Rangpur during 2019-20. In AMMI (Additive Main and Multiplicative Interaction) model, G × E interaction analysis of grain yield and yield contributing traits showed differential interaction of the genotypes in the different environmental conditions. Rangpur and Gazipur were rich for finger millet production while the environment of Jamalpur was poor. Among the genotypes, IE-501 produced the maximum grain yield (5.81 t/ha), followed by IE-2043 (4.69 t/ha) in the favorable environment. Genotypes IE-2043 and IE- 3392 exhibited higher yielding as well as stable over all environments. Considering the AMMI model and mean, bi and S2di, the genotypes IE-2043 and IE-3392 would be suitable across environment whereas genotype IE-501 would be suitable under favorable environmental. For all of the traits evaluated, none of the genotypes were found stable across locations. The genotypes IE- 2043 and IE-3392 with high mean grain yield could be utilized for developing high yielding stable finger millet genotypes. \u0000Bangladesh J. Agril.

BARI Piaz-1). The experiment was arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications having eight nutrient management packages following the INM principle. There were significant effects of INM on the seed yield, yield contributing characters and nutrient uptake of onion. The highest seed yield of 1278 and 1287 kg ha-1 was obtained from treatment poultry liter (PL) based trichocompost (TC) @ 3t ha-1 + chemical fertilizers (IPNS basis) and the minimum seed yield (395 kg ha-1 and 441 kg ha-1) in control (native fertility) treatment in 2015-2016 and 2016-2017, respectively. The N uptake by onion crop ranged from 37.1 to 141.5 kg ha-1 and 42.1 to 146.7 kg ha-1, P uptake from 2.9 to 13.5 kg ha-1 and 3.8 to 20.2 kg ha-1, K uptake from 24.5 to 76.7 kg ha-1 and 30.7 to 74.3 kg ha-1 and the S uptake ranged from 5.8 to 14.5 kg ha-1 and 6.1 to 18.8 kg ha-1 in two respective years. Hence, the PL based TC @ 3 t ha-1 + CF (IPNS) could be regarded as the best nutrient management package for achieving higher onion seed production in Grey Terrace Soil of Madhupur Tract (AEZ-28). \u0000Bangladesh J.

Binary logistic regression was carried out to find out the factors affecting food security of the households. Following simple random sampling technique, a sample of 80 households from two villages of Dibiganj upazila of Panchagarh district of Bangladesh was surveyed in January 2020. On an average, they consumed 20 food items of which their daily per capita intake was 1414.52 gm. Mean of daily per capita protein and calorie intake was 63.14 gm. and 1619.67 Kcal, respectively. Rice occupied the major contributing source of protein and calorie intake as per capita consumption of rice was highest among all other food items (609.35 gm.). Among the respondents, 61.25% belonged to ultra-poor following by hard core poor (20%) and absolute poor (7.5%). Based on FCS, 81.25% of them were in poor diet clusters but consequently 91.25% of them belonged to high dietary diversity as indicated by household dietary diversity score. Assessment of CSI and HFIAS indicated that most of the sample households were suffering from moderately to severely food insecure. But based on MAHFP, 20% of the respondents were found to be food insecure as they had food provisioning for 0- 9 months out of 12 months. At the same time, 51.25% of the sample households were underweight based on their BMI. There was no household member whose physical feature was found to be obese based on BMI characterization. The result of the binary logistic regression shows that food security is positively correlated with total land size and family consumption of food. So, diversification of crop production and diversification of family consumption can be the recommended steps for the enclaves’ households to upgrade their food and nutrition security status \u0000Bangladesh J.

The study was carried out to better understand farmers' views toward mungbean production, the factors affecting mungbean adoption, and the financial profitability of mungbean cultivation. A structured and pre-tested interview schedule was used to interview 90 mungbean farmers that were randomly selected from different villages in Patuakhali Sadar Upazila, Patuakhali district for collecting field level data. A combination of descriptive, mathematical and statistical techniques was used to analyze the data. Profitability analysis showed that mungbean production was profitable because the net return of its cultivation was Tk. 21,959/ha and BCR was more than unity (1.73). The study revealed that short duration crop, sharing work within household members, crop diversification, minimum tillage, employment creation, and income generation significantly influenced farmers to cultivate mungbean than any other crop. Problem facing index pointed out high price of seed and fertilizer, lack of good quality seed and fertilizer, inadequate extension service as a production related problem and lack of value added product development and transport facility, low market price of output and lack of storage facilities were identified as a major marketing problem of mungbean cultivation. \u0000Bangladesh J.
