The chicken meat sample was collected from local market of Mymensingh. The sample was quickly shifted to “Animal Science Laboratory” and carried out for laboratory analyses after refrigerated at -20ºC up to 90 days. Chicken meatball samples were divided into four treatment groups viz. control group (T0), 0.01% beta hydroxyl toluene (BHT) (T1), 0.5% long coriander leaves extract (T2), and 1% long coriander leaves extract (T3). Days of intervals were 0, 30 and 90 days. An ANOVA of a 4×3 factorial experiment in completely randomized design having three replications per treatment was used for data analyses. Sensory, proximate, physicochemical, biochemical and microbiological analyses were determined. Color, flavor, Juiciness, tenderness and overall acceptability increased significantly (p<0.05) in T2 and T3 treatments but decreased at different days of intervals. Dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), ether extract (EE) and ash content decreased significantly (p<0.05) in T2 and T3 treatments and increased with days of intervals. Raw pH and cooking loss were decreased significantly (p<0.05) in T2 and T3 treatments and decreased with increased days of intervals. Free fatty acid (FFA), peroxide value (POV) were decreased significantly (p<0.05) in T2 and T3 treatments and increased with days of intervals. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were significantly (p<0.05) constant in T0, T2 and T3 treatments. Total viable count (TVC), total coliform count (TCC) and total yeast-mold count (TYMC) decreased significantly (p<0.05) in T2 and T3 treatments. Hence, sensory, physicochemical, biochemical and microbial properties indicate that 1% long coriander leaves extract was the best among all treatment groups. So, 1% long coriander leaves extract may be recommended for chicken meatballs as enriched natural antioxidant.\u0000SAARC J.

Two rice varieties viz., BINA dhan-10 and BRRI dhan28 were sown in five plant spacings viz. 25 cm × 15 cm, 25 cm × 25 cm, 30 cm × 30 cm, 35 cm × 35 cm, 40 cm × 40 cm in randomized completely block design with factorial fashion with three replications. Growth performances, yield contributing characters and yield were significantly influenced by varieties and plant spacings. The highest grain yield (8.75t ha-1), straw yield (11.56 t ha-1), biological yield (20.31 t ha-1) and harvest index (43.05 %) were obtained from the variety BINA dhan- 10 sown at planting spacing of25 cm × 15 cm. More number of total tillers hill-1(14.75) and number of effective tiller hill-1 (12.87) were recorded from the variety BINA dhan-10 sown at planting spacing 40 cm × 40 cm. Based on the present study it is suggested that BINA dhan-10 may be grown under 25 cm × 15 cm in order to get maximum grain yield for Boro rice cultivation.\u0000SAARC J.

Chemical pesticides are extensively used for controlling insect pests which cause a lot of problem, such as pest resistance, elimination of natural enemies, environmental pollution, loss of biodiversity and human health hazards. As an alternative pest control strategy, the application of nanotechnology in insect pest management can be one of the most promising ways to overcome the problems related to the application of conventional chemical pesticide. According to various research findings, the nano based materials are described as very effective in insect pest management because they have larger surface area which ensures the contact of more volume of pesticides with the insect pests. They also provide selective, targeted and long term-controlled release of formulation of nanomaterial which is ecologically more viable. Moreover, the required amount of nano-insecticide is also very small for controlling insect and thus the pesticide load in the environment gets reduced. So, use of nanotechnology for insect pest management is considered as environmentally sustainable and a brilliant insect control strategy in green agriculture.\u0000SAARC J.

In this mission, it is necessary to identify and deploy high-yielding stress-resilient maize hybrids that can cope with climate change effects, including heat stress. Under the project “Heat Tolerant Maize for Asia (HTMA)”, NMRP introduced the hybrids that performed better in previous years in different environments from International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) Hyderabad for multilocation on-farm testing. Fifteen genotypes were evaluated at two locations, two sites in Madi, Chitwan, and one in Ghorahi, Dang, along with Rampur Hybrid-8 as a heat-tolerant check, and RML-86/RML-96 and RML-95/RML-96 as normal checks. Randomized complete block design (RCBD) was used with three replicates during the spring of 2016/17. Likewise, another 20 and 18 promising hybrids were demonstrated during the winter of 2016/17 and 2017/18, respectively, in different hybrid growing pockets considering a site – a replication. Grain yield and yield attributing traits at all locations were recorded. From the across-site data analysis, selected heat-tolerant hybrids from the experiment were CAH1432, ZH15405, ZH141592, and CAH1715 which were statistically at par with promising normal hybrid RML-86/RML-96 and superior to already released heat-tolerant Rampur Hybrid-8. In 2016/17, ZH138098, ZH1620, and VH121062 were farmers’ preferred heat-tolerant hybrids. In 2017/18, Rampur Hybrid-10, ZH141592, CAH1715, and ZH15440 were preferred by farmers.
