An attempt was made to assess the adoption status of BARI Malta-1 (sweet orange), its farm level profitability, problems and the impacts of malta cultivation on the livelihood of farmers. A total of 180 farmers, 60 farmers from each district were randomly selected for this study. The study revealed that 91% farmers adopted BARI Malta-1 in their gardens. Higher yield, profitability, sweetness, and less insect-pests infestations were the major reasons for choosing BARI Malta-1 at farm level. Farmers did not follow the recommended doses of manures and fertilizers due to lack of adequate knowledge on recommended doses. The establishment cost of a malta garden was Tk. 7,02,650 per hectare. The highest yield (19.6 t/ha) and gross return (Tk. 15,68,000/ha) were obtained from 5th to 10th year gardens. The lowest return (Tk. 8,28,160/ha) was reported in the 3rd year garden. Scarcity of saplings, un-attractive colour, and lack of technical know-how were the major problems to BARI Malta-1 cultivation. The study suggested availability of saplings, hands-on training to the farmers, and affordable price of different input for higher adoption of this variety. \u0000Bangladesh J. Agril.

Two second instar larva of C. partellus (Swinhoe) per plant were released two times, first at 8th leaves (vegetative) and second at 12th leaves (Before tasseling) stages. Insect damage parameters (IDPs) viz. dead heart percentage, damage % at vegetative and foliar stage, foliar injury rating (1-9) at vegetative and before tasseling stage, tunnel length (cm), exit hole number and yield per plot were recorded to study the germplasm susceptibility level. The result revealed that IDPs and yield varied significantly among the tested genotypes. Over the years, IDPs like dead heart percentage (5.17%), percent damage atpre-tasseling stage (10.6%), foliar injury level (2.25), tunnel length (10.15 cm) and exit holes (2.32) were found lower with high yield (2235 g/plot) in RML-95/ RML-96 followed by RML- 86/RML-96.

Three NaCl mediated salinity levels (0, 8 and 12 dS m-1) were used with two ALA concentrations (30 and 60 mgL-1). Saline stress decreased plant height, root length, leaf area, dry mass accumulation, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic parameters, and K+, while proline (Pro), Na+, Na+/K+ ratio, antioxidant enzymatic activities, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), superoxide (O2 •-), and melondialdehyde (MDA) content increased. Saline stressed mustard seedlings treated with 30 mgL-1 and 60 mgL-1 foliar application of ALA ameliorated the saline mediated inhibition in seedling growth i.e. increased plant height, root length, leaf area, and dry matter.
