Two hundred gram of paddy grains of cv. Sambha Mansuli Sub-1 was kept in each plastic jar in the experiment. Ten pairs of newly emerged adult rice weevil, S. oryzae of uniform age obtained from stock culture were released in each plastic jar. Laboratory bioassay contained Acorus calamus (rhizome powder) @10 gm/kg, Piper nigrum (seed powder) @10 gm/kg, Curcuma longa (rhizome powder) @10 gm/kg, Azadirachta indica (kernel powder) @ 10gm/kg, Zingiber officinale (rhizome powder) @10 gm/kg, and Malathion powder 5% dust @2 gm/kg were used for the rice weevil. Acorus calamus was the most effective botanical powder followed by P. nigrum to reduce grain damage percent on number basis (1.15%) and on weight basis (1.22%), weight loss percent (0.84%) & weevil population count (1.54). The efficacy ranks of the botanicals were: A. calamus>P. nigrum>A. indica>Z. officinale>C. longa. Thus, use of A. calamus powder is recommended to manage rice weevil in the storehouse condition.\u0000SAARC J.

The purpose of the study was to assess the genetic diversity and molecular characterization of 83 rice landraces in Bangladesh using nine (9) SSR markers. A total of 262 allels were identified using nine (9) polymorphic markers. The highest number alleles 34 were identified by RM336 while the lowest was 13 by RM262. Polymorphism information content (PIC) value of each marker was evaluated on the basis of the number of alleles and it varied greatly for all the SSR loci tested. The PIC value ranged from 0.951 to 0.766 and marker RM336 was found to be the most appropriate marker to discriminate among the rice genotypes owing to the highest PIC value of 0.951. The allele frequency ranged from 37.35% (RM262) to 10.84% (RM585, RM336) with an average of 18.47%. The genotypes G82, G77, G68, G50, and G1; G65, G37, and G10; G71 and G11; G25 and G14; G39 and G27 have 100% genetic similarity according to the pair wise genetic similarity indexes. Genotype G10 had the least similarity (0.44 percent) to genotype G9, G16 with G17, G22 with G29, G28 with G30, and so on. The dendrogram based on UPGMA and Nei’s genetic distance classified the 83 rice landraces into 5 clusters with a similarity coefficient of 0.6 Cluster 2 had maximum thirty-two genotypes followed by cluster 4. The landraces that were derivatives of genetically similar types were clustered together on the dendrogram.

An experiment was conducted to study the response of late season varieties of cauliflower to different sources of nitrogen on growth, yield and postharvest quality at Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal during October 2018 to March 2019. Four late season varieties of cauliflower viz. NS 106, Snow Moon, Yukon, and Candid Charm and three different sources of nitrogen viz. 100% Nitrogen (N) through Farm yard manure, 50% N through FYM and 50% N through urea, and 100% N through urea. The two-factor experiment was laid in RCBD with three replications and twelve treatment combinations. All the recorded growth, yield and postharvest quality parameters were significantly higher and statistically similar in NS 106 and Yukon and significantly lower in Candid Charm. Similarly, significantly higher plant height, canopy diameter, leaf number, curd height, economic yield and biological yield were recorded in 50% N through FYM and 50% N through urea. Significantly lower plant height, canopy diameter, leaf number, economic yield and biological yield, titrable acidity and significantly higher days to curd maturity, vitamin C and dry matter content of leaf and curd, and TSS content were recorded in 100% N through FYM.

Aman rice - rabi crop – DDS Aus rice pattern. Nine rabi crops namely, (1) Mustard, (2) Potato, (3) Lentil, (4) Field pea, (5) Radish, (6) Cabbage, (7) French bean, (8) Carrot and (9) Tomato were cultivated during the rabi season in between the two rice crops to form nine cropping patterns. The experiment used Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Aman rice variety BRRI dhan57 was transplanted on 12 July 2017 and harvested on 28 October 2017, while, Aus rice variety BRRI dhan28 was sown in the dry cultivated land on 16 March 2018 and harvested on 24 June 2018 while rabi crops were sown/transplanted on 28 November 2017. Proper agronomic management practices were adopted for all the crops in the patterns. Data on yield and related attributes of DDS Aus rice were recorded at harvest. In addition, the yield of Aman rice and all the rabi crops were recorded. In addition, rice equivalent yield of each rabi crop, system yield (total yield of all the crops in the sequence), cost of production, gross return and benefit cost ratios (BCR) of all the patterns were recorded. Results revealed that yield of dry direct seeded Aus rice cv. BRRI dhan28 did not differ significantly due to different rabi crops grown under the respective patterns. The system yield was the highest in T. Aman rice –tomato – DDS Aus rice pattern (19.62 t ha-1) and the lowest with T. Aman rice -mustard – Aus rice pattern (14.63 t ha-1). Since the market price of a rabi crop changes from year to year, the net profit of a pattern depends on the yield of a crop grown in rabi season. Therefore, any of the nine rabi crops under the trial can be successfully cultivated in between the two rice crops under Aman rice – rabi crop –Aus rice patterns. However, the present study concludes that any of the nine rabi crops can be grown in between the two rice crops but carrot, French bean, mustard, field pea, and tomato could be the most profitable ones for the T.

Thirty lambs were divided into three age groups like T1 (6 months), T2 (9 months) and T3 (12 months) having ten lambs of each treatment. Parameters studied were carcass traits, proximate component (DM, CP, EE, and Ash), physicochemical (Ultimate pH, cooked pH, cooking loss, drip loss, water holding capacity-WHC), sensory attributes (color, flavor, tenderness, juiciness, overall acceptability) and instrumental color values (L*, a* and b*). Hot carcass weight and dressing% were found significantly (p<0.001) higher in T3 than T1 and T2 treatments. Edible by products namely viscera, head, leg, pluck, neck, shoulder, rack, loin, kidney, heart, liver, lungs and shank from three treatments were found significant effect (p<0.001). Inedible by products viz. blood, skin and spleen were found significantly higher (p<0.001) with the advancement of age. Dry matter (DM) of T2 and T3 were found significantly lower (p<0.001) than T1 treatment. Crude protein (CP) and ether extract (EE) were significantly increased (p<0.001) of advancement of age of lambs. Drip loss of T2 was found significantly lower and WHC of T2 was significantly (p<0.001) higher than other two treatments. Cooking loss and ultimate pH of T3 were significantly (p<0.001) lower than other two treatments.
