Experiment was designed into four treatment (T1 -Timsen, T2 -Geofersh, T3 -Geoprime, and T4 –Geotox, Recommended dose of the company was used for treatment), with three replications. This experiment was conducted by using twelve ponds having an area of 40.00 m2 each & average depth was 1.2 m. Twelve ponds were prepared through liming @ 250 kg/ha after drying of pond. After 5 days of liming each of the following drugs Timsen, Geofresh, Geoprime, Geotox was used for each pond. After 3 days of using drugs fingerlings of Gift Tilapia, (ABW: 6.25 ± 0.27 gm), were stocked in all the ponds with same stocking density of 100 fish/pond. Feeding fingerling was maintained twice daily in the morning & evening with commercial Saudi-Bangla feed at the rate of 10% of the body weight in the first week. For second week daily ration was adjusted at the rate of 5% of the body weight. Data on water quality parameters, survivality, and growth were recorded before and after using of drugs. Essential water quality parameters were recorded weekly and growth, survivality were recorded after ten days interval. Histological studies were done 1 month’s interval. It was observed that after using drugs in all treatments the value in case of Timsen pH (8.12±0.58), alkalinity (119.40±9.67), nitrate (0.28±0.04) and phosphate (1.00±0.19), dissolved oxygen (4.56 ± 0.29), were maintained. Ammonia became reduced due to use of drugs. During observation of physical water quality parameters transparency (31.27±3.06) became increased and temperature (28.25±3.38) became lower than control water body. Net production of Gift Tilapia (1955.6 4± 24.28 kg/ha) also provided higher in Timsen treated pond than other treated ponds. Timsen treated pond provided higher tilapia production due to water quality of Timsen treated pond was more optimum than other drugs treated ponds. Histopathological study did not show any negative changes on the organ of fishes. Among all the drug, Timsen was the best in all aspects (improve tilapia fish health and water quality). Other three drugs (Geo-tox, Geo-fresh, and Geo-prime) resulted more or less same result.","PeriodicalId":14096,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food, agriculture and environment","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90898571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of the study was to assess the growth performances of tilapia and vegetable production in the wish pond and wish pond-aquaponics systems. The initial length and weight of tilapia juvenile (Oreochromis niloticus) of 5.17±0.14 to 5.15±0.12cm and 3.24±0.30 to 3.35±0.13g were stocked at the rate of 200 fish/m3 pond area in wish pond aquaponics and wish pond system, respectively. The Brinjal, chilli and mint were planted in both wish pond and wish pond-aquaponics systems. A commercial floating pellet feed of 30% protein was fed the fish at the rate of 5% body weight twice daily. Both the wish pond-aquaponics and wish pond waster was aerated with air pump and stones. The wish pond-aquaponics water was filtered through the vegetable media but wish pond water was not such filtration system rather partial water change was done in each month. The survival rate and total production of fish were higher (89.17±3.82%, 34.88±2.22 tons/ha/120 days) in wish pond-aquaponics system than the wish pond system (76.67±2.08, 26.33±0.87 tons/ha/120 days).

For this purpose, a composting experiment was conducted with three bulking materials e.g., T1 (composting with dry chopped straw), T2 (composting with dry tree leaves) and T3 (composting with saw dust) with 3 replications. Parameters studied were dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), ash, organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN), crude fiber (CF), carbon nitrogen ratio (C/N) and pH at different days of intervals. Results showed that the bulking materials have a significant influence on the quality of the final compost. The highest DM content was observed in T3 (48.17%) and the lowest DM content was observed in T2 (38.36%) after 45 days of composting. There were significant (p<0.01) higher reduction rate of OM, OC and CF were found in T3 compared to T1 and T2 and the differences were also significant (p<0.01) among days intervals over 45 days of experimental period. TN content gradually decreases with the increase of time. But there was no significant difference in TN alteration among the treatments along with time intervals. There were significant differences (P<0.01) in C/N among treatments and a gradual increment of C/N was found with the advancement of the composting operation. There was a little change in pH of all the treatments but those treatments were not followed a trend during the total experimental period. Finally, it may be concluded that CF and OM degradation rate is faster in T3compared to T1 and T2. These might be indicated that saw dust might be used as an efficient bulking material that enhances OM degradation during composting of cattle manure.","PeriodicalId":14096,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food, agriculture and environment","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90965028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Total of 30 respondents were randomly selected from the three villages. Each village consists of 10 respondents. Data were collected from randomly selected 30 farmers who were involved in small scale cattle fattening through personal interviews. The selected characteristics were the socio-economic conditions of the farmer such as age, level of education, occupation, household size, land size, source of capital, family income from cattle fattening, farm size, etc. The respondents were aged from 25 to 60 years. The highest proportion (56.7 percent) of farmers was in the middle-aged. The education levels among the respondents were 46.7 percent illiterate, 33.3 percent primary level, 13.3 percent up to S.S.C level and 6.7 percent of H.S.C or above. Among the respondents, 33.3 percent were involved in cattle fattening as primary occupation and 67.3 percent were involved in cattle fattening as a secondary occupation. About 83.3 percent of respondents were used own capital for fattening purpose and 16.7 percent respondents had bank loan or NGO loan facilities for fattening purposes. The income of the respondents’ family from cattle was BDT 11283.33 which was contributed 31.39 percent to the increased family income. The results show that cattle fattening could be the most suitable way to increase the socio-economic status of the poor farmers in terms of net income.","PeriodicalId":14096,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food, agriculture and environment","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87899382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, a surveillance study was conducted to investigate the farmer's knowledge and perception toward pesticide use and the impact of occupational exposure as well as an environmental hazard in six agro-based districts (Gazipur, Khulna, Manikganj, Naogaon, Mymensingh and Tangail) in Bangladesh. A questionnaire was designed for a face to face interview of the farmers (at least 100 farmers in each district), and the data was collected. The farmer during cultivations used pesticides as single, double or several times in a single crop cycle. Among different types of pesticides, insecticides were highly used (38%), whereas Imidacloprid, and Lamda cyhalothrin insecticide was top used by the farmers. Weedicides or herbicide, fungicides and rodenticides were used 11%, 48%, and 0.5%, respectively. The knowledge and perception of the farmers towards pesticide usage are minimum, whereas the environmental pollution aspect is deficient. The knowledge of using personal protective equipment is the least. Eighty five percent of farmers use pesticides by spraying in the field. Thirty nine percent of farmers suffered from sneezing, burning sensation on face, conjunctivitis, dizziness and headache during pesticide application, and 3% suffered from skin rash of long time exposed with pesticide. The exposure of pesticides is widespread in the professional life of a farmer in Bangladesh. So, it is essential to ensure different training and awareness building program for the farmers to cope the adverse situation.","PeriodicalId":14096,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food, agriculture and environment","volume":"161 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86157698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analyzes revealed that growth in the area for Aus, Aman, and Boro rice slowed in the period 1971/72-1983/84, but surprisingly the production growth accelerated due to amazing technological advancements and the implementation of government subsidies on complementary inputs. Applying the Nerlovian supply response model, the result showed that, lagged area for Aus, Boro, and wheat was positive and significant, implying that the preceding year area under Aus, Boro, and wheat had a significant influence on land allocation for the following year. The lagged relative yield of Boro and Aus turned out positive implying that in Boro season farmers took into consideration the lagged relative yield of Boro vis-a-vis wheat in the allocation of land for Boro rice and wheat cultivation. The negative price risk variable further implied farmers’ risk aversion response towards price fluctuation. The yield risk variable was found negative for Boro and wheat, implying that this factor did not influence the cultivation of these two crops. Meanwhile, although Bangladesh achieved marginally food security, government and policymakers should focus on stabilizing the market price at harvest time to realize sustainable food security in the future, and researchers should prioritize breaking the yield ceiling as well as developing different stress-tolerant varieties. In the same way, steps should be taken through public and private partnerships to disseminate different crop varieties so that productivity could be enhanced at the desired level.","PeriodicalId":14096,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food, agriculture and environment","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90077063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At ambient temperature (AMT) condition, plant height, SPAD reading, grain and straw yield were also the highest in case of 10 g pot-1 Si application. Moreover, the highest NPK contents in grain and straw were observed in the application of Si @ 10 g pot-1, whereas the lowest NPK contents were mostly recorded in control (0 g Si pot-1). The increased rate of Si contributed to the NPK absorption in grain, yield attributes and yield of rice up to 10g pot-1 Si application. On the other hand, yield contributing characters, grain yield and NPK uptake were showed a similar response to Si application at elevated temperature (ELT). But, the yield contributing characters as well as grain yield at ELT showed less performance in comparison to AMT.
