{"title":"Adoption and profitability of BARI released garlic varieties in Bangladesh: a farm level study","authors":"Md. Imrul Kaysar, Syful Islam, Monirul Islam, Nusrat Binta Atiq, Sohag Sarker","doi":"10.3329/aajfss.v7i2.67739","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3329/aajfss.v7i2.67739","url":null,"abstract":"Garlic, a vital spice crop in Bangladesh, holds a prominent position as the leading producer among all spice crops. This study was conducted in three garlic growing districts, namely Rajbari, Natore, and Dinajpur, with the primary objective of assessing the adoption status of BARI garlic varieties, analyzing their farm-level profitability, and identifying constraints faced by the farmers. A total of 300 farmers, with 100 selected randomly from each district, participated in this research. Data collection was carried out using a pre-tested interview schedule during the period of January to March 2019. The findings revealed that BARI rosun-2 had the highest adoption rate among farmers, with 45% choosing this variety, while the adoption rate for BARI rosun-1 was the lowest at 14.67%. Interestingly, no adoption of the other two BARI varieties, BARI rosun-3 and BARI rosun-4, was observed in the study areas. Some farmers also cultivated local and exotic varieties, such as Italy, Patna, and Barma. The preference for BARI rosun-2 and BARI rosun-1 was attributed to their higher yield, greater profitability, and reduced susceptibility to insect-pest infestations at the farm level. Key cost items included human labor, seed cost, and the rental value of land. In terms of yield, the highest production was reported in Rajbari at 7,650 kg per hectare, followed by Natore (7,260 kg/ha.) and Dinajpur (6,980 kg/ha). Net returns were highest in Natore at BDT 69,631 and lowest in Dinajpur at BDT 38,613. The benefit-cost ratio (BCR) on the basis of variable cost and total cost were 1.31 and 1.24, respectively. The cost per kilogram based on total cost was BDT 32. The study identified low market prices during the peak season, the non-availability of improved or hybrid seeds, unfavorable weather conditions, and a lack of technical knowledge as major constraints to garlic cultivation. To address these issues, the study recommends measures such as banning excessive imports, introducing high-yielding hybrid varieties, providing hands-on training to interested farmers, and ensuring affordable input prices to promote higher adoption of these garlic varieties.In conclusion, this research sheds light on the adoption, profitability, and challenges of cultivating BARI garlic varieties in the specified districts, offering valuable insights for policymakers, farmers, and stakeholders in the garlic farming industry.

Using cultural, biochemical, and molecular techniques, 100 fresh vegetable samples (including tomato, carrot, cucumber, green chili, and coriander) were examined for C. jejuni. The isolates were further tested for virulence genes and antimicrobial susceptibility. Out of the 100 samples, 23% were confirmed as C. jejuni, by 16S rRNA gene-based polymerase chain reaction and all were found to be virulent with cytolethal distending toxins (cdtA, cdtB and cdtC genes). Antibiotic susceptibility testing revealed resistance to amoxicillin (47.83%), tetracycline (43.48%), and streptomycin (39.13%) among the isolates. However, ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin were effective against 47.83% and 43.48% of the isolates, respectively. Moreover, 52.17% of the isolates were sensitive to erythromycin. Alarmingly, 34.78% of the C. jejuni isolates exhibited multidrug resistance (MDR) with eight different antibiotic resistance patterns, including four MDR patterns. These findings highlight the presence of virulent and antibiotic-resistant C. jejuni in fresh vegetables, emphasizing the need for monitoring and control to ensure food safety and public health issues.

Sugar, as traditional sweetener was used to make peda samples at the level of 0 g, 75 g, 150 g and 225 g. Peda samples were prepared with these different sugar ratios were analyzed for sensory attributes, chemical composition and microbiological quality. Analysis of the data for quality such as flavor, body and consistency, color and appearance and chemical analysis such as protein content, carbohydrate content, ash and total solids contents of peda samples revealed significant (P<0.05) difference, but there was no significant (P>0.05) differences for fat content and total viable count of peda samples. The organoleptic quality of 150 g sugar containing peda samples scored better result than control and other treatments. If overall quality aspects were considered, 150 g sugar containing peda samples gave best results than other samples. Asian Australas. J. Food Saf.

Four supervised field trials were undertaken sprayed with the prescribed dose of fenvalerate at the rate of 1mL/L of water and acephate at the rate of 2g/L of water. The samples of tomato and yard long bean were collected at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 days after spray (DAS).

No residue was detected at 12 DAS in tomato and 15 DAS in yard long bean. The residue of fenvalerate was detected up to 12 DAS in tomato and 13 DAS in yard long bean, of which the quantities of residue of fenvalerate was above EU-MRL at 9 DAS in tomato and 11 DAS in yard long bean. Fenvalerate contained 0.076-0.008 mg/kg residue in tomato and 0.049-0.021 mg/kg residue in yard long bean which were below EU-MRL at 10 to 12 DAS in tomato and 12 to 13 in yard long bean which were below EU-MRL. No residue was detected at 13 DAS in tomato and 14 DAS in yard long bean.

In this study, 45 vegetable samples were analyzed. Out of 15 samples of hyacinth bean, 2 samples (13% of the total samples) contained pesticide residues above MRL and the remaining samples did not contain any detectable pesticide residues. In the instance of cauliflower, 2 samples (13% of the total number of samples) contained pesticide residues above MRL, while the remaining samples had no detectable pesticide residues. Pesticide residues with levels exceeding MRL were found and measured in 3 samples (20% of the total number of samples) from 15 yard long bean samples. From remnant samples, no pesticide residue was detected. This study depicts the overall scenario of pesticide contamination in vegetables specially in hyacinth bean, cauliflower and yard long bean available in the local markets of Gazipur city, Bangladesh.

N is one of the most essential macromolecules required for the growth and reproduction of plants. It occurs in diverse chemical forms and circulates in natural and agricultural ecosystems. It is a constituent of chlorophyll, hence is required for the photosynthesis of plants. Plants receive N through their roots in the form of ammonia or nitrate. Nutritional quality and defense of plants that have a direct impact on herbivorous insects are altered by N fertilization and herbivorous insects can differentiate between plants that receive different applications of N fertilizer. Increasing N fertilization has a variable impact on plant species composition, plant growth, plant biomass, and yields. Plant tissue N and protein contents are also affected by nitrogen fertilization. Moreover, nitrogen fertilization affects many aspects of insects such as population dynamics, larval count, larval weight, feeding choice, and oviposition preference. Furthermore, predatory insect abundance, parasitization performance, and development of parasitoids on host insects are negatively affected by N fertilization. Other important effects of N fertilization are the hemolymph protein profile of herbivores, emission of VOCs, phytohormone biosynthesis, and direct and indirect defense of plants. The aim of this literature research is to demonstrate the effects of variable doses of N fertilization on the crop-herbivore-natural enemy tri-trophic systems. The information gathered in this review might help researchers understand the impact of optimal and excessive N fertilization on crop production and food security.\u0000Asian Australas. J. Food Saf.

In this study, 126 samples were collected, 90 of which were unique (tomatoes 18, carrot 18, cucumber 18, coriander leaf 18, green chili 18) and 36 of which were composite (made by combining the individual samples). The spread plate dilution method was utilized for this work, and the organisms were cultivated on selected culture media. Microbes that were expected were discovered utilizing culture and staining procedures. The number of Salmonella, E. coli, S. aureus and Campylobacter was found from all tomato (100%), cucumber (100%) and green chili (100%). In carrot samples, the number (%) of E. coli, S. aureus and Campylobacter was found 100% except Salmonella (88.88%). The number of Salmonella (77.77%), E. coli (100%), S. aureus (94.44%) and Campylobacter (100%) was found in coriander leaf.
