Results revealed that the highest number of whitefly/plant (3.43) was recorded in brinjal at farmer’s field followed by PSTU farm (1.13) while lowest was in homestaed gardem (1.00) than tomato. The highest percentage of plant attacked per plot by whitefly was recorded in brinjal (16.67%/plot) while the lowest percentage was in tomato (9.76%/plot). The highest mean percentage of B. tabaci adult was observed in the middle canopy (64%) while the lowest was in lower canopy. The highest percent plant attacked (56.25%/plot) was recorded on 2nd March while the lowest attacked (9.09%/plot) was recorded on 15th February. The similar trend was also found in case of tomato. The highest percent plant attacked (56.25%/plot) was recorded on 2nd March followed by 1st April (50%/plot) and 17 March (33.33%/plot) while the lowest attacked (9.09%/plot) was recorded on 15th February followed by 30th January (10.98%/plot).Jahangirnagar University J.

Organic carbon rates from rice straw (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 t C ha-1 including control) were evaluated under alternate wetting and drying (AWD) and continuous flooding (CF) systems. Each treatment also received the recommended dose of chemical fertilizers excluding control. Factorial experiment was laid out in a complete randomized design with three replications. Results revealed that, maximum plant height, filled grains per tiller, 1000 grains weight, grain and straw yield were also observed in continuous flooding system in combination with 2.0 t C ha-1 in 2010 and 2011, respectively. Combined use of chemical fertilizers, 2.0 t C ha-1 fresh rice straw and continuous flooding system performed better results to reduce CO2-C gas emission, increased organic carbon and rice production with maintaining optimum soil pH level. Continuous flooding with 2.0 t C ha-1 as fresh rice straw is an effective way to reduce CO2-C emission, optimize soil pH and contribute to sustainable rice production for food security.Jahangirnagar University J.
