The experiment consisted of two factors: A) Three varieties: BRRI dhan29 (V1), BRRI dhan58 (V2), and Heera (V3). B) Four nitrogen sources: no nitrogen (T1), BRRI-recommended prilled urea (T2), recommended dose of mixed NPK (T3), and BARC-recommended USG (T4). The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications where main plot was for nitrogen source and subplot was for variety. USG treatment resulted in the highest grain production (8.6 t/ha) and the lowest percentage of spikelet sterility of any nitrogen source tested. Except for harvest index, all of the examined characteristics differed considerably between types. This is mostly due to BRRI dhan29 having the maximum number of full grains (98.8/panicale) and a significantly lower degree of spikelet sterility (7.3%). Among the interaction effects, the combination of the USG application with BRRI dhan29 showed the greatest performance in terms of delivering the maximum grain production (9.3 t/ha) by significantly reducing spikelet sterility.

This study evaluated the impact of PGPR inoculation in root zone nutrient release, rice yield, and grain nutrient (P, Fe, Mn, and Zn) content in two popular rice varieties of Bangladesh (viz., BRRI dhan49 and Binadhan7). It was a single factor (bacterial treatment) experiment where B0, B1, B2, and B3 treatments represented the inoculated control, indole acetic acid (IAA) producing bacteria consortium, phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) consortium, and combination of B1 and B2 treatments, respectively. Nutrients released in pore water was higher at 5 days after transplanting (DAT), compared to 25 DAT. Mostly B2 and B3 treatments performed significantly in the number of tillers/pots, straw yield, grain yield, grain P, Mn, Fe content, and all four nutrients uptake. The highest grain yield observed in B3 treatment is in both Binadhan7 (42.10±1.76 g/pot) and BRRI dhan49 (36.20±1.57 g/pot). PSB containing B2 treatment bio-fortified the largest amount of P in both rice varieties. On the other hand, the B3 treatment stored the highest amount of Mn (46.70±1.30 and 44.30±1.37 mg/kg) and Fe (45.30±2.90 and 25.70±2.37 mg/kg) in Binadhan7 and BRRI dhan49, respectively. The B3 treatment resulted in maximum nutrient content (P, Mn, and Fe) and uptake (P, Mn, Fe, and Zn) in both rice varieties. These bacterial isolates seemed promising for rice yield and quality improvement in an eco-friendly and sustainable way.\u0000Res. Agric. Livest.

For morphological characterization and evaluation of yield attributes of maize genotypes an experiment was carried out at the experimental field of the Department of Crop Botany and Tea Production Technology, Sylhet Agricultural University (SAU). The experimental materials were seven exotic maize genotypes viz.ZM 0001, ZM 0002, ZM 0003, ZM 0004, ZM 0005, ZM 0006ZM 0007 along with BARI Maize 6 as control. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Significant variations were observed among eight maize genotypes for most of the plant characters studied. The tallest plant was found in ZM 0005(246.5 cm). The highest number of leaves was produced in ZM 0001 (14.01). The longest and widest leaf was recorded in ZM 0004 (94.67 cm) and BARI Maize 6 (10.32 cm), respectively. The longest internode was found in ZM 0004 and ZM 0005 (21.61 cm). The genotype ZM 0004 was the earliest in respect of tasseling and silking. Ear height was highest in ZM 0005 (143.8 cm). The genotype ZM 0004 matured the earliest (109.3 days) while BARI Maize 6 matured the last (126 days). No variation was found for ear shape but in terms of kernel color, kernel type, kernel row arrangement and shape of upper surface of the kernel there were great variations among the genotypes. BARI Maize 6 produced the largest kernel with the highest thousand kernel weight. Grain yield plant-1 t ha-1 was highest in BARI Maize 6 which was closely followed by ZM 0005 and ZM 0004 among the studied genotypes. A correlation study between the yield and yield contributing characters showed that ear length, ear diameter, number of kernels row-1, kernel length, kernel width, kernel thickness, thousand kernel weights, and the weight of kernels ear-1, prolificacy index and weight of kernels plant-1 had a significant positive correlation with grain yield.\u0000Vol. 10, No. 1, April 2023: 21-32","PeriodicalId":20947,"journal":{"name":"Research in Agriculture Livestock and Fisheries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89912013","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}

Soil salinity is extended from 0.833 to 1.056 million hectares (about), with an increase of 26% between 1973 and 2009. Out of about 1.689 million hectares of coastal land, about 1.056 million hectares are affected by soil salinity of various degrees covering 49 Upazila (sub-district) of 19 districts. About 0.328, 0.274, 0.189, 0.161, and 0.101 million hectares of land are affected by very slight (S1), slight (S2), moderate (S3), strong (S4), and very strong salinity (S5), respectively. Data recorded by SRDI manifests new ingression of salinity in Narail (18.71 ha), Jashore (14.99 ha), Barishal (13.96 ha), Gopalgonj (6.27 ha), Jhalakati (4.69 ha), and Madaripur (0.72 ha) districts. Soil salinity also encroached a large area of Bhola (53.84 ha), Patuakhali (40.08 ha), Khulna (27.92 ha), and Bagerhat (23.14 ha), besides minor ingression in other districts. The salinity level is almost double (2.8-18.5 to 4.0-42.8 dS/m) from 1973 to 2009 in Sharankhola Upazila of Bagerhat district, Dumuria Upazila of Khulna district and Shyamnagar Upazila of Satkhira district (SRDI, 2010). Different causes are involved in increasing the water and soil salinity of the coastal area of Bangladesh, like withdrawal of fresh river water from upstream, irregular rainfall, faulty management of sluice gates and polders, regular tidal water flooding in an unprotected area, the capillary rise of soluble salts, decreased surface water availability, lowered ground water table, reduced soil moisture content, the introduction of unplanned shrimp cultivation, lack of drainage facilities. Some of the widespread soil and land management techniques adopted in the saline areas of Bangladesh to cope with the salinity are polder (123), farm-pond (khamar-pokor), sarjan procedure, usage of raised shrimp farm bund for year-round cropping, mulching (keeping land covered in winter and summer months), land leveling, pitcher (kolosh) irrigation to grow watermelon, dibbling method, the addition of organic matter, chemical fertilizers and cultivation of saline tolerant crop varieties, particularly rice.\u0000Vol. 10, No. 1, April 2023: 1-7","PeriodicalId":20947,"journal":{"name":"Research in Agriculture Livestock and Fisheries","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90679493","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, the area is still far behind in attaining the required optimum productivity of Sweet potato, this is due to biotic and abiotic factors, inappropriate Agronomic practices and lack of improved variety, to tackle these problems; variety improvement research is the major one. Therefore, the objectives of the study were to estimate the magnitudes of genotype, environment, and genotype by environment interaction effects on Sweet potato genotypes and to identify the high yielder and stable genotypes for wide adaptability in West Hararghe Zone, Eastern Ethiopia. The experiment was carried out at two locations (Mechara on station and Habro district) in three consecutive years (2018–2020) on 20 Sweet potato genotypes using a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Additive main effects and multiplicative interactions analysis (AMMI) indicated that the yield performances of genotypes were under the major environmental effects of genotype by environmental interactions. The first two principal component axes (PCA 1 and 2) were significant (p≤0.01) and cumulatively contributed to 73% of the total genotype by environment interaction. In GGE bi-plot analysis using genotypic and environmental scores of the first PCA 1 and lower PCA 2 scores gave high yields (stable genotypes), and genotypes with lower PCA 1 and larger PCA 2 scores had low yields (unstable genotypes), as in the sites tested. Besides, genotypes G3 and G5 were stable across tested locations and gave higher total root yields (43.94t ha-1 and 49.34 t ha-1), respectively). However, G5 was recommended for possible release for wide adaptability in West Hararghe Zone and similar agro-ecology in the country.\u0000Res. Agric. Livest.

The study used a qualitative method to collect data and data has been analyzed from gender perspectives. To understand the work nature of female farmers, their struggles, and the reason for unrecognition the Agrarian Ideology and The Longwe Framework have been used. It shows that female farmers in the study area engage themselves in a variety of farming activities but their contribution to agriculture is viewed solely as family responsibilities where women are not recognized for their contribution. Female farmers are often unable to utilize their full potential because they are denied various extension services or support from government and non-government organizations. The findings also show that a lack of access to land, finance, and other resources are the most significant barriers to female farmers.

The results indicated that most of the farmers were male (25-35 years) and 17.24% of farmers involved in dairy farming were graduated. With regards to the housing system, the percentage of rearing system was found equal and the majority of the farmers could not afford fodder cultivation (70%). In the case of cross-breed animals like HF cross the farmers provided green grass and concentrate in a high amount of 11.03±0.76 kg and 4.82±0.33 kg per animal per day respectively. Likewise, straw feeding was found higher in indigenous animals (06.64±0.55 kg/animal/day). Most of the farmers followed AI (91.7%) with frozen semen (99.08%) for reproduction purposes in which 37.61% of cows need double services for conception. The age of first puberty was lower (19.97±0.57 months) in HF cows. In contrast, the average number of services per conception was lower in indigenous cows which was 1.95±0.14.
