Weed management practices are crucial for controlling weeds as they reduce yield, increase the production cost as well as deteriorate the grain quality. So, an experiment was conducted at Monirampur, Jashore, Bangladesh during July 2020 to June 2021 to find out the appropriate weed management practices in boro rice. BRRI dhan29 was selected as planting material to see the effect of seven different weed management practices such as no weeding, pre-emergence, post-emergence, pre-emergence followed by (fb) hand weeding (HW) at 40 DAT, post-emergence fb HW at 40 DAT, pre-emergence fb post-emergence and two HW at 20 and 40 DAT following single factor randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The study revealed that Poaceae and Cyperaceae contributed more weeds among 15 different families. Monochoria vaginalis, Fimbristylis miliacea, Echinochloa crus-galli, Cyperus rotundus and Alternanthera sessilis were more abundant among 34 weed species. The highest weed density (98.22 m−2 ) and dry weight (51.36 g m−2 ) were found in no weeding condition but that of the lowest value (weed density: 9.93 m−2 and dry weight: 3.59 g m−2 ) was observed in pre-emergence fb one HW at 40 DAT. The highest grain yield (6.52 t ha-1 ), net income (91571 Tk ha-1 ) and B:C ratio (1.9) were recorded in pre-emergence fb HW at 40 DAT followed by pre-emergence fb post-emergence treatment. The lowest value of grain yield (3.29 t ha-1 ), net income (12290 TK ha-1 ) and B:C ratio (1.14) were found in no weeding treatment. As per results, it can be concluded that pre-emergence fb HW at 40 DAT has been revealed as the best weed management practice for BRRI dhan29.
杂草管理措施对控制杂草至关重要，因为杂草会降低产量，增加生产成本，并使粮食质量恶化。因此，在2020年7月至2021年6月期间，在孟加拉国j岸上的Monirampur进行了一项实验，以找出合适的水稻杂草管理方法。选择BRRI dhan29作为种植材料，观察7种不同的杂草管理措施的效果，即不除草、发芽前、发芽后、发芽前、40点手除草(HW)、发芽后40点手除草(HW)、发芽前、发芽后、20点和40点手除草(HW)，采用单因素随机完全区设计(RCBD)， 3个重复。研究表明，禾本科和苏科在15个不同科中贡献较多。在34种杂草中，以阴道单孢菌(Monochoria vaginalis)、毛缕草(finbristylis miliacea)、交叉高架棘球藻(Echinochloa croscrosgalli)、圆草(Cyperus rotundus)和互花草(alternantheresessilis)数量最多。未除草时，杂草密度最高(98.22 m−2)，干重最高(51.36 g m−2)，萌发前1 HW, 40 DAT时，杂草密度最低(9.93 m−2)，干重最低(3.59 g m−2)。40 DAT孕穗期前处理的籽粒产量最高(6.52 t ha-1)，净收入最高(91571 Tk ha-1)， B:C比最高(1.9)，其次为孕穗期前处理的孕穗期后处理。未除草处理籽粒产量最低(3.29 t hm -1)，净收入最低(12290 TK hm -1)， B:C比最低(1.14)。综上所述，40 DAT的苗期前杂草管理措施为BRRI dhan29的最佳杂草管理措施。

Large areas of the world are affected by high levels of soil salinity.Global warming causes a rapid rise of the sea level and enhancing new salt-affected areas inundating new agricultural land through saltwater intrusion. Salinity management through breeding strategies, land management or organic amendment could be wise strategies for salt management. Exogenous application of legumes as green manure can potentially reduce negative effects of soil salinity through growth improvement, ionic homeostasis via enhancing Ca/Na ratio in soil, adding organic matter, over expressing SOD, POD, CAT, APX, and lessening membrane leakage that upsurge crop productivity in saline environments. Such contribution to the sustainable agricultural systems is considered an alternate way towards enhancing crop cultivation in saline ecosystems. This review focused on the mechanisms of green manuring crops in soil salinity reclamation and subsequent contribution on crop growth and development.

An investigation was made on growth and yield performance of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) under different organic manures and fertilizers at the Horticulture Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from October 2017 to March 2018 to investigate the effect of organic manures on the growth and yield of cabbage. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Result of the experiment revealed that the different combinations of organic manure significantly influenced all the parameters studied. Maximum marketable yield per hectare (55.5 ton) was obtained when T5(cowdung @ 2 t/hectare + compost @ 2.5 t/hectare + mustard oil cake @ 0.25 t/hectare + poultry manure 1.8 t /hectare) was applied, while the lowest was obtained from the control treatment. So T5(cowdung @ 2 t/hectare + compost @ 2.5 t/hectare + mustard oil cake @ 0.25 t/hectare + poultry manure 1.8 t /hectare) was found suitable for growth and yield of cabbage.

An experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm and Postgraduate Laboratory of the Department of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from September 2019 to March 2020 to study the effects of staking and mixed fertilization for improving growth, yield and quality of cherry tomato cv. Binatomato 10. The two-factor experiment consisted of two types of staking viz. S1 = Single, S2 = Trellis type and five doses of mixed fertilizers viz. T0: Control, T1: 25% of mixed fertilizers (cowdung, mustard oil cake (MOC), urea, TSP and MoP @ 4000, 125, 100, 87.5, and 75 kg/ha, respectively), T2: 50% of mixed fertilizers (cowdung, MOC, urea, TSP and MoP @ 6000, 250, 200, 175, and 150 kg/ha, respectively), T3: 75% of mixed fertilizers (cowdung, MOC, urea, TSP and MoP @ 9000, 375, 300, 262.5, and 225 kg/ha, respectively) and T4: 100% of mixed fertilizers (cowdung, MOC, urea, TSP and MP @ 12000, 500, 400, 350, and 300 kg/ha, respectively). The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. Staking and mixed fertilization had significant effects on all the parameters under study. Trellis type staking along with combined application of cowdung, MOC, urea, TSP and MoP @ 9000, 375, 300, 262.5, and 225 kg/ha, respectively (S2T3) gave the highest plant height (134.93 cm), number of leaves (46.87), flowers (384.32) and fruits per plant (312.31), individual fruit weight (11.68 g), fruit length (3.68 cm) and diameter (2.67 cm), yield per hectare (64.24 t), and TSS (8.69%).

More than 780 million people are chronically undernourished worldwide despite the fact that there is adequate food for everyone. Unfortunately, over 40% of Nigerians live in food insecure homes, and the country has the greatest rate of undernourishment out of West Africa. Kolanut selling households have also received minimal attention with regard to food security. This study, therefore, sought to access the linkage between food security status and Kolanut marketing households in Ondo State, Nigeria. A total of 120 Kolanut marketing households were randomly selected and data were collected using pretested semi-structured questionnaires. Specifically, we estimated the costs and returns to Kolanut marketing, food security status of Kolanut marketing households and the determinants of food security status. These objectives were analyzed using marketing margin analysis, food security index, logistic regression and Likert scale were used. It was reported that the net marketing margin received annually was N2,781.33/ha. Also, each dollar invested resulted in a profit for the marketers of 34.92 percent. Additionally, it was discovered that the majority (55.83%) of Kolanut marketing households had food insecurity, using 2260 Kcal/Adult Equivalent as a measure. Additionally, a logistic regression analysis showed that the household size of Kolanut marketing households in the research area had a negative impact on their level of food security. Poor road conditions, expensive transportation, limited access to market information, and inadequate financing facilities were the main obstacles for the households. Therefore, we urge the creation of educational programs on birth control methods that can actually reduce excessive family sizes.

Cowpea is a widely consumed food crop produced in the Savanna zone of Ghana. Anti-nutrients/bio-active compounds in it limit the biological availability of important nutrients/minerals (proteins, carbohydrates, fat, sodium, zinc, calcium, iron e.t.c). Thisstudy employed soaking to investigate the nutritional value of three cowpea varieties (Wang Kae, Kirkhouse Benga and Padi-Tuya). The soaking was in two forms; soaking in water and soaking with 1% each of NaHCO3and NaClsolutions. Standard chemical analytical procedures were carried out to measure proximate parameters (Fat, protein, carbohydrate, ash, moisture and crude fibre), anti-nutrients/bioactive compounds (Tannins, phytates, oxalate and flavonoids), and minerals (Sodium, iron, calcium and zinc) contents of the cowpea varieties. Significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) in proximate composition, anti-nutrients/bioactive compounds and minerals among the cowpea varieties were obtained. Moisture content, ash, crude protein, crude fat, carbohydrates and crude fibre varied among the soaking regimes for the samples in the ranges of 7.47-19.90%, 2.35-6.11%, 23.35-26.33%, 29.23-35.33%, 21.70-31.36% and 2.24-4.78%, respectively. Values for iron, zinc, calcium and sodium ranged between 24.86-214.46mg/kg, 45.02-216.93mg/kg, 31.12-56.59mg/kg and 34.82-136.13mg/kg, respectively. Tannins, phytate, flavonoids and oxalate values also ranged between 1.35-6.74mg/g, 4.18-10.70mg/g,15.50-91.39mg/100g and 13.64-24.63mg/g, respectively. These results indicate that, soaking with water and (NaHCO3 + NaCl) solution have potentialities for enhancing nutritional value in the cowpea varieties, which could be a means of combating nutritional deficiencies and food insecurity in Ghana and other countriesin West Africa

The commercial rice bran industry in Bangladesh has experienced remarkable growth in the last decade and it continues to grow. However, lack of a wellcoordinated marketing system of agriculture products remains a major constraint in further development of the industry. The focus of the study, therefore, was to assess the structure, conduct and performance of the rice bran market in Kishoreganj district in order to elucidate the performance of the marketing system before any interventions are made to change the existing conditions. The data for the study was sourced from both primary and secondary sources. The study employed descriptive statistics and Gini coefficient to determine the degree of rice bran market concentration in the study area. The gross margin, marketing margin and marketing efficiency was used to measure the performance of the rice bran market in Kishoreganj district. The results of the study showed that the Gini coefficient was 0.495 and 0.493 for wholesalers and retailers respectively, indicating a highly concentrated market hence an oligopoly market structure. The conduct of the market participants, which reflects the behavior of the firms or the decision that firms make relating to their pricing and output policy and other competitive practices, revealed that among rice miller, the two forms of terms of sale were contract selling 10 percent and spot market selling 90 percent. Further, the study found that rice miller attained the highest gross margin of TK 191,000 followed by wholesalers and retailers with TK 10,300 and TK 3,100 respectively. The marketing margin revealed that retailers attained the highest marketing margin of 11 percent while wholesalers had 10 percent. In conclusion, rice bran production and trading in Kishoreganj district is profitable but not to a satisfactory state due to lack of collusive behavior among market participants and availability of market information. The study, therefore, recommends that the Government of Bangladesh should integrated agricultural marketing information system which is linked to rice millers, wholesalers, retailers and final farmers in order to avoid exploitation of high prices.

In conclusion, rice bran production and trading in Kishoreganj district is profitable but not to a satisfactory state due to lack of collusive behavior among market participants and availability of market information. The study, therefore, recommends that the Government of Bangladesh should integrated agricultural marketing information system which is linked to rice millers, wholesalers, retailers and final farmers in order to avoid exploitation of high prices.","PeriodicalId":14096,"journal":{"name":"International journal of food, agriculture and environment","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73096839","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}
