Binadhan-19). Four spacings of transplanting (25 cm × 15 cm, 25 cm × 10 cm, 20 cm × 15 cm and 20 cm × 10 cm) and four levels of nitrogen (control, 50% of RD, 100% of RD, 150% of RD and application of USG) were used in this experiment. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Nine weed species belonging to five families infested the experimental field. Among the nine species three were grasses, three were broad leaves and three were sedges. Paspalum scrobiculatum, Echinochloa crusgalli, Digitaria sanguinalis, Oxalis europaea, Monochoria vaginalis, Nymphaea nouchali, Cyperus difformis, Scirpus juncoides and Fimbristylis miliacea were the important weeds in the experimental plots. The highest weed density at 20 DAT (14.43) and 40 DAT (17.40) were obtained from spacing of 20 cm × 15 cm and 20 cm × 10 cm, respectively. Control treatment showed maximum weed densities (15.08 and 18.41, respectively) at both sampling dates. The highest weed density (16.67) was recorded from the treatment combination of 20 cm × 10 cm spacing with control treatment at 20 DAT and the highest weed density (19.66) was recorded from treatment combination of 20 cm × 10 cm spacing with 150% of RD of nitrogen at 40 DAT. Spacing of 20 cm × 10 cm gave the highest (3.54 t ha-1 ) grain yield compared to other spacings. The highest number of grains panicle-1 was found in 20 cm × 10 cm spacing compared to other spacings used in the study. The highest grain yield (3.89 t ha-1 ) was recorded from application of USG, which was significantly higher than other nitrogen levels. The 20 cm × 10 cm spacing produced the highest grain yield (4.41 t ha-1 ) with application of USG, whereas 20 cm × 15 cm with no nitrogen (control) treatment produced the lowest grain yield (2.39 t ha-1 ). So, it can be concluded that 20 cm × 10 cm spacing of transplanting with application of USG may be used for maximization of yield of Binadhan-19 in aus season.","PeriodicalId":14096,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food, agriculture and environment","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81748251","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}

However, studies on the impact of IMP use on farm revenue, particularly among producers of cassava, have not gotten enough attention. So, we looked at how using Improved Management Practices affected the income of cassava growers in Kwara State, Nigeria. The specific goals were to: a) identify the Improved Management Practices used by cassava farmers; b) examine how using Improved Management Practices affected the farmers' farm income; and c) define the poverty profile of the cassava farmers. Using descriptive statistics, index ranking, correlation, and the Foster Greer and Thorbecke (FGT) poverty decomposition model, the cross-sectional data collected from 120 cassava farmers were analyzed. The findings showed that the three most commonly used Improved Management Practices in the research area were guided planting time, herbicides, and guided planting distance. Additionally, the intensity of IMP consumption positively and significantly affects farm income. According to the FGT results, 30% of farmers were in poverty. It is important to explore any tactics and laws that would encourage farmers to learn more about Improved Management Practices and, as a result, enhance the intensity of IMP usage.","PeriodicalId":14096,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food, agriculture and environment","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84789596","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}

Considering this point, the present study was undertaken to determine the effect of irrigation levels on growth and yield of chickpea varieties. The experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh from November 2016 to March 2017. The experiment comprised of four varieties such as BARI Chola-5, BARI Chola-9, BINA Chola-4 and BINA Chola-7 and three irrigation levels viz. one irrigation at pre-flowering stage, two irrigations at pre-flowering and pod formation stages and rainfed condition. The results revealed that irrigation treatments had significant effect on growth parameters (plant height, nodule number and dry matter production). Among the yield and yield contributing characters, the highest number of pods plant-1 (48.67), number of seeds pod-1 (1.44), seed yield (1.25 t ha-1 ) and stover yield (2.85 t ha-1 ) were found from BARI Chola-9. Accordingly, highest number of pods plant-1 (49.75), number of seeds pod-1 (1.53), seed yield (1.32 t ha-1 ) and stover yield (2.94 t ha-1 ) were found from two irrigations (pre-flowering and pod formation stages). The lowest seed yield (0.63 t ha-1 ) and stover yield (1.63 t ha\u00021 ) were found from BINA Chola-4 with rainfed condition while the highest seed yield (1.59 t ha-1 ) and stover yield (3.46 t ha-1 ) were found from BARI Chola-9 with two irrigations (pre-flowering and pod formation stage).Considering the above results, it can be suggested that BARI Chola-9 cultivation with applying supplemental irrigation before flowering and pod formation stages may be useful for yield maximization of chickpea.","PeriodicalId":14096,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food, agriculture and environment","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75407153","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}

Increasing the cropping intensity by replacing fallow with a short-duration pulse crop using climate-smart agriculture (CSA) technology in the northeastern area of Bangladesh might increase food security and the livelihood of poor farmers. Therefore, the objective of the study was to investigate short-duration mungbean crop in between the two rice-based cropping systems following CSA technology. The study was conducted at two locations following Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in the farmers' field of Netrokona and Sunamganj Districts of Bangladesh during the period from March to May 2021. Results from both the study areas showed that CSA technology had substantially increased the total yield of mungbean, and BINA-8 variety performed the best results of 1061 kg/ha yield in the Sunamganj area. In mungbean cultivation, the lower tillage, 50% less fertilization, manuring, crop residues and efficient irrigation of CSA technology had a positive impact on water infiltration, soil nutrient status and water use efficiency of more than 40% compared to traditional cultivation systems. Nevertheless, the CSA in mungbean cultivation had enhanced carbon sequestration and reduces GHG emissions. The results also revealed that mungbean plant residues add an average 4.35 ton/ha green mass to the soil and saved more than 25% labor costs for mungbean cultivation. Therefore, crop intensification with mungbean using CSA technology in the disasters pruned area would be a good approach to combat food security and income generation of farmers. The study also argues that there is an immediate need for more intensive research to better quantify the mitigation effects of CSA technology.","PeriodicalId":14096,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food, agriculture and environment","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89847374","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}

This paper attempts to identify vegetable grower’s choices of funds and factors responsible for their fund used for vegetable production. Primary data were collected from 354 farmers by using simple random sampling technique in three districts of Bangladesh. Farmers socio-economic characteristics were analyzed by descriptive statistics. Multinomial Logit Regression Model was used to identify factors responsible for farmer’s choice of funds for vegetables production. Analysis showed that farmer’s average age was 43.96 years and they had 5.24 years of formal education. In addition, they had 1.39 number of training and 10.79 years of farming experience. Personal savings, banks, NGOs, and friends and relatives were the sources of farmers funds for vegetables production. On average, 62.99% of the farmers used their own savings, 13.28% of the farmers used bank loans, 11.58% of the farmers used NGOs loans and 12.15% of the farmers took loans from friends and relatives. Results also showed that farmer’s level of education influenced negatively while farm size and number of family members positively influenced the probability of using bank loans compared to farmer’s own fund. Moreover, farmer’s years of farming experience influenced positively, and farm size negatively influenced NGOs loans used compared to farmer’s own fund. Besides, farmer’s level of education was negatively, and agricultural training positively influenced the loans from friends and relatives compared to farmer’s own fund. Vegetable farmers (24.86%) used institutional sources of funds for vegetable production. So, availability of institutional funds is required for the farmers to increase the vegetable production in Bangladesh.","PeriodicalId":14096,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food, agriculture and environment","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84813266","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}

Therefore, for the observation of weed seeds germination and the effect of mechanical scarification of the seed coats on the germination of selected weeds was assessed in the laboratory conditions. For the assessment of scarification effects on seed germination, the seven different kinds of weed genotypes were collected from rice fields in Kumaltar, Lalitpur, Nepal. The collected seeds were kept for one month and after de-husking of each species of 25 seeds was allowed to germinate in the laboratory with unscarred (normal) and scarred conditions on blotters at temperature 25±5oC and experimental observation was done for 14 days. Among all the species, the highest germination (96%) was observed in scarred seeds but the lower germination (58%) was observed in normal seeds of B. pilosa compare to scarred seeds. The unscarred seeds of A. conyzoides seeds did not germinate at all, while the scarred seeds germinated up to 20%. But the seeds of A. viridis were germinated well in both scarred (84%) and unscarred conditions (80%). The germination of E. colona was also greatly influenced by scarification which increased from 4 to 32%. Similarly, the germination of E. crus-galli, P. barbartum, and S. acmella was also increased by 12, 20, and 4% respectively on scarification. It was observed that scarification of the seeds of the weeds under study quite satisfactorily improved the germination rate. The linear growth of the seedlings was also affected by the scarification of the seeds. In conclusion, the weed seeds management is needed for better production in the cropping system.","PeriodicalId":14096,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food, agriculture and environment","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80246298","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}

COVID-19 related medical waste in Bangladesh is haphazardly thrown away, much of which carries the coronavirus. Individual choices during lockdowns are also increasing plastic demand. Packaged take-out meals and home delivered groceries contributed 40% of plastic waste. Crucially, the virus can remain active on plastic surfaces for two to three days. However, it only infectious for up to 24 hours on cardboard or paper. From these findings it can be extrapolated that paper bags could be a better alternative for plastic bags, not only due to the short lifetime of the virus but also because paper bags are more environmentally friendly.

From this perspective the experiment was conducted to assess the effect of potassium sources and vermicompost level on yield and grading of potato tuber. The potato tuber of variety BARI Alu-25 (Asterix) was used as the planting material for this experiment. The experiment consisted of two factors: Factor A: 3 sources of Potassium such as-K1: KCl, K2: KNO3, K3: K2SO4; Factor B: 4 levels of vermicompost such as-Vm0: 0 t ha-1 , Vm1: 4 t ha-1 , Vm2: 8 t ha-1 and Vm3: 12 t ha-1 . The two factor experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with three replications. The highest yield of potato tubers (27.86 t ha-1 ) was recorded from K2SO4, whereas, the lowest (26.02 t ha-1 ) was found from KNO3. The number of tubers hill-1 , average tuber weight, yield and different categories of potato tuber were increased with the increasing of vermicompost level. Among the 12 treatment combinations, the highest yield of potato tubers (31.17 t ha-1 ) were found from K3Vm3, whereas, the lowest (22.09 t ha-1 ) was recorded from K2Vm0. However, K1Vm2, K1Vm3, K3Vm2, K3Vm3 showed statistically similar results regarding yield and grading. So, K2SO4 or KCl as a source of potassium and 8 or 12 ton vermicompost ha-1 was found to be better in respect of yield and grading of potato tubers compared to the other treatments.
