An experiment was conducted to study the effects of cultivars and household organic mulches on growth and yield of onion at the Horticulture Farm of the Department of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from October 2020 to March 2021. The experiment consisted of three winter onion cultivars of Bangladesh viz. Taherpuri, BARI Piaz-1 and BARI Piaz-4, and five organic mulches, viz. Control (no mulching), vegetables wastes, rice straw, banana leaf and water hyacinth. The two-factor experiment was carried out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Results revealed that the parameters under study showed significant variation among onion varieties and mulching. BARI Piaz-4 gave the highest plant height, number of leaves, fresh weight and gross yield of bulb compared to BARI Piaz-1 and Taherpuri. The application of water hyacinth increased plant height, number of leaves, fresh weight of bulb, bulb length and diameter, and bulb yield compared to other treatments. Mulching with water hyacinth showed the best results in respect of on all the parameters under study. The highest bulb yield (12.72 t/ha) was recorded in T4 and the lowest bulb yield (8.97 t/ha) was found in T0. The effect of household organic mulches on yield were in order of water hyacinth> vegetables wastes> rice straw> banana leaf> control (no mulching). Among the treatment combinations water hyacinth mulch in combination with BARI Piaz-4 gave the highest plant height (47.85 cm), number of leaves (14.01), fresh weight of bulb (52.87 g) and gross yield of onion (18.24 t/ha), whereas, the lowest plant height (36.13 cm), number of leaves (6.53), fresh weight of bulb (17.08 g) and gross yield of onion (5.74 t/ha) were was obtained from Tahepuri caultivar having no mulch. Therefore, the combined application of water hyacinth along with BARI Piaz-4 was found to be the best in respect of growth and yield of onion.

The research was conducted in Putalibazar, Bhirkot, and Waling municipality and Arjunchaupari rural municipality of Syangja district , Nepal in 2021 to assess the status of the primary nutrients (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium), pH, and soil organic matter of the cultivated mandarin orchards located at different altitudes. There were six treatments: three in north-facing namely <900 meter above sea level (masl), 900-1100 masl, and >1100 masl, and three in south-facing namely <900 masl, 900-1100 masl, and >1100 masl. These treatments were replicated 4 times each in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). A total of 72 soil samples were taken from 0 to 30 cm soil depth in ‘V’ shaped pattern from last week of March to the first week of April. Analysis of soil samples was done in the regional soil testing laboratory Pokhara, Kaski. The altitude range had a considerable effect on soil nutrient status except for phosphorous and potassium availability. Both pH and soil organic matter content were found increasing with the increase in altitude. Soil pH level was found increasing with increase in altitude from 5.62 in <900 masl to 6.70 in altitude >1100 masl in south facing slope. Highest organic matter content (5.76%) was recorded in 900-1100 masl of north facing slope followed by lowest 3.76% in <900 masl in south facing slope. Similarly, highest nitrogen content (0.28%) was recorded in 900-1100 masl of north facing slope followed by lowest (0.18) in >1100 masl in south facing slope. Phosphorus and potassium were found highest in 900-1100 masl of both north and south facing slope. The findings of the research showed that the altitude range of 900-1100 masl and north-facing slope was suitable for mandarin cultivation from the nutrient status point of view.

Precise choice of potassium (K) source and application method does matter for its cost-effectiveness. The effect of soil potassium fertilization either as sulfate or humate form with or without K2SO4 foliar sprays was studied on vegetative growth, yield and fruit quality of Grand Naine banana plants grown under clay loam soil conditions. The experiment included four treatments as follows: Control (800 g of K2SO4 as soil application), 250 g of K-humate as soil application, 800 g of K2SO4 as soil application + 2 % K2SO4 as foliar sprays and 250 g of K-humate soil application + 2 % K2SO4 as foliar sprays. Each treatment was replicated three times with three plants per each replicate and the randomized complete block design was arranged. Results indicated that potassium fertilization treatments showed a positive effect on vegetative growth parameters, N, P, K, chlorophyll a and b content in the leaves, also improved yield and fruit properties. In this respect, the humate form was more pronounced than the sulfate form. In addition, treatments included K2SO4 as foliar sprays were more effective than those without it. Therefore, the usage of 250 g of K-humate as soil application + 2 % K2SO4 as foliar sprays could be recommended to improve the growth, yield and quality of Grande Naine banana under these experimental conditions.
准确选择钾源和施用方法对其成本效益至关重要。研究了在粘壤土条件下施用硫酸钾和腐殖质钾肥，同时叶面喷施或不喷施K2SO4对大奈香蕉植株营养生长、产量和果实品质的影响。试验包括4个处理:对照(土壤施用800 g K2SO4)、土壤施用250 g腐植酸钾、土壤施用800 g K2SO4 + 2% K2SO4叶面喷施和土壤施用250 g腐植酸钾+ 2% K2SO4叶面喷施。每个处理重复3次，每个重复3株，采用随机完全区组设计。结果表明，施钾处理对叶片营养生长参数、N、P、K、叶绿素a、b含量、产量和果实性状均有显著影响。在这方面，腐植酸形式比硫酸盐形式更为明显。此外，叶面喷施K2SO4比不喷施K2SO4更有效。因此，在本试验条件下，建议土壤施用250 g腐植酸钾+叶面喷施2% K2SO4可促进大纳因香蕉的生长、产量和品质。

Metabolic disorders characterized by different physiological syndromes are affecting modern society, particularly the people who live in urban areas. High sugar diet (HSD) consumption is associated with the development of metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Dietary fiber has been linked to a variety of health benefits, including obesity prevention, better glucose homeostasis, and control of blood lipid profile. Therefore, we designed this experiment to determine the efficacy of cassava fiber (CF) in preventing the development of diabetes and obesity caused by HSD. Swiss albino male mice were fed with CF in supplementation with or without HSD. In comparison to a high sugar diet group, CF supplementation steadily reduced food intake. Though it was insignificant CF supplementation attenuated the increase in body weight due to HSD consumption. From the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (ipGTT), it was revealed that CF supplementation improved glucose tolerance after a glucose (2mg/kg BW) challenge and also showed a significant decrease in area under the curve (AUC). Moreover, CF supplementation remarkably lowered the LDL-cholesterol level of the HSD-fed mice. Overall, our present study demonstrates that consumption of a CF-rich diet helps to maintain glucose homeostasis and prevent the development of metabolic syndromes associated with diabetes and obesity.

The nutrient is one of the vital factors that helps in the growth of crops. A field experiment was conducted to study the performance of potatoes at the different phosphorous levels and mulch from February to June 2021 in Dhamkane, Bajura district, Nepal. The experiment was arranged in two factorial RCBDs with 3 replications and 8 treatments. Bajura local variety was used. Four levels of phosphorous 0, 50, 100, and 150 kg ha-1 were used and for mulching, silver on black plastic mulch and no mulch (control) was used. It was observed that both mulching and phosphorous levels influenced the growth and yield of potatoes. Plant height (39.90 cm), number of leaves (439.98) was significantly highest in silver in black plastic mulch whereas haulm number was significantly highest in no mulch condition. In the same way, significantly highest plant height (44.36 cm), haulm number (4.15), and the number of leaves (442.10) were found on 100 kg ha-1 P level. The main effect of mulching and phosphorous level was found to increase the yield but no interaction was observed. The highest average tuber weight, yield per plant and number of tubers per plant were found on silver in black plastic mulch. Average tuber weight is highest at 150 kg ha-1 phosphorous level. The number of tuber per plant was highest for silver on black plastic mulch and 100 kg ha-1. Marketable and non-marketable tubers were significantly higher at silver on black plastic (8.55 & 3.1) and 100 kg ha-1(10.45 & 3.46). The overall performance was superior in silver on black plastic mulch and 100 kg ha-1 P level with significant B: C ratio.
养分是帮助作物生长的重要因素之一。2021年2月至6月，在尼泊尔巴朱拉县Dhamkane进行了不同磷水平和覆盖条件下马铃薯的田间试验研究。试验采用两因子rcbd, 3个重复，8个处理。使用巴朱拉当地品种。施磷量分别为0、50、100和150 kg hm -1，覆盖时采用黑色塑料覆盖和不覆盖(对照)。结果表明，覆盖和磷水平对马铃薯的生长和产量都有影响。株高(39.90 cm)和叶数(439.98 cm)在黑色地膜覆盖条件下显著高于银色地膜覆盖，而茎长(439.98 cm)在无地膜覆盖条件下显著高于银色地膜覆盖。在100 kg hm -1磷水平上，株高(44.36 cm)、茎长(4.15 cm)和叶数(442.10 cm)均显著高于对照。覆盖和施磷水平对产量的提高有主要影响，但不存在交互作用。平均块茎重、单株产量和单株块茎数均以黑色地膜覆盖的银色最高。平均块茎重在150 kg hm -1磷水平时最高。单株块茎数量以黑色地膜覆盖和100 kg hm -1银色地膜最高。可销售和不可销售的块茎在黑色塑料上的银色(8.55和3.1)和100 kg hm -1(10.45和3.46)显著较高。在黑色地膜覆盖和100 kg hm -1磷水平下，总体表现较好。

Soil fertility evaluation is an important aspect in the context of sustainable agricultural production of an area. This study was carried out to find the soil fertility status of the Dhanushadham Municipality, Dhanusha, Nepal located at 26°52’N, 86o02’E using GPS and GIS Using Google Earth Pro (GEP) and ArcGIS, 61 soil samples were collected based on land use, slope, and aspects. The soil's texture, pH, total nitrogen, available phosphorous, and potassium levels were all measured. Most of the study area (36.35%) has loam soils, followed by sandy loam soil (28.17%). The soil pH ranged from 5.2 to 7.5, indicating that it was strongly acidic to nearly neutral. Soil organic matter (SOM) ranged from 1.14% to 1.83% with a mean value of 1.52% in most of the soil. Total nitrogen was 0.08%, available phosphorus was 120.96 kg/ha, and available potassium was 146.13 kg/ha, respectively. In the study area, total nitrogen was found to be medium, phosphorus found to be high, and potassium was found to be low. To maintain soil nutrient status, organic manure, reduced use of chemical fertilizers, and different soil management practices should be used. The study concludes that GPS and GIS-based soil fertility mapping assists farmers, scientists, planners, researchers, and students in providing soil test-based fertilizer recommendations for sustainable soil management and developing future farm research strategies.

The study was designed to relate fruit consumption with income and determine the influencing factors of fruit consumption at Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) and its surroundings. Data were collected through direct interviews from 155 respondents (90 fruit buyers and 65 non-buyers) who were selected through random sampling techniques. Descriptive statistics, Logit and Tobit model were applied to get meaningful results according to the stated objectives. The findings presented that, except banana, apple, grapes and orange had positive correlation with income and fruit consumption. Banana consumption has found negatively correlated with income. Regression results revealed that per head income and nutritional knowledge has positive and significant influence which leads to the increase in fruit consumption of buyers. On the other hand, gender inequality and higher price of fruits decrease the amount of fruit consumption. From the result of the Tobit model, we found that gender, education level, per head income, nutritional knowledge increases the fruit consumption of consumers. On the other hand, higher prices of fruits decrease the amount of fruit consumption.

An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory in Bangladesh Agricultural University to evaluate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculation and zinc (Zn) fertilizer management on growth and yield of hybrid maize Kohinoor 1820. The experiment consisted of two levels of AMF inoculation (AMF-inoculated and non-inoculated) and five levels of Zn fertilizer management. The Zn management regimes were NoZinc = no Zn fertilizer (control); Basal100 = 100% recommended dose (RD) of Zn fertilizer (i.e. 15 kg ZnSO4.7H2O ha−1) added during final land preparation; Foliar100@EV = 100% RD of Zn was applied as foliar spray during early vegetative (EV) stage; Folar100@Rp = 100% RD of Zn was applied as foliar spray during reproductive (Rp) stage; Foliar@50EV+50Rp = 100% RD of Zn fertilizer was applied as foliar spray by equal split during EV and Rp stages. ZnSO4.7H2O @15 kg ha−1 was used for basal application and 0.1% of the same fertilizer was used as foliar spray. The experiment was laid out a factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 3 replications. ‘Serakinkon’, a commercially available AMF inoculum collected from Japan was used in the experiment. The inoculum mainly consisted of Gigaspora margarita species of AMF. It was found that both AMF inoculation and Zn fertilizer management significantly affected leaf greenness (SPAD value), number of cobs plant−1, number of seeds cob−1, weight of 1000 grains, and grain yield (all p<0.05). The highest maize grain yield was obtained from the AMF inoculated plots when Zn was foliar applied during both early vegetative and reproductive stages (50%EV + 50% Rp) or foliar applied (100% RD) during reproductive stage. It appeared that only AMF inoculation boosted 15% maize yield in comparison to non-inoculated crops. Zn fertilizer management increased 16% grain yield over control (no Zn applied). Further research should be conducted on the screening of naturally occurring AMF strain suitable for maize crop.
在孟加拉国农业大学农学田间实验室进行了试验，研究了接种菌根真菌(AMF)和锌肥管理对杂交玉米Kohinoor 1820生长和产量的影响。试验分为AMF接种和未接种2个水平和5个水平的锌肥管理。锌管理制度为不施锌=不施锌肥(对照);Basal100 =在最后准备土地时添加100%推荐剂量(RD)的锌肥(即15 kg ZnSO4.7H2O ha - 1);Foliar100@EV = 100% RD锌在营养早期叶面喷施;Folar100@Rp = 100% RD锌在生殖期叶面喷施;Foliar@50EV+50Rp = 100% RD的锌肥在EV期和Rp期等分叶面喷施。ZnSO4.7H2O @15 kg ha - 1作基施，0.1%作叶面喷施。试验采用全因子随机区组设计(RCBD)， 3个重复。实验中使用了从日本收集的市售AMF接种物“Serakinkon”。接种物主要由AMF的Gigaspora margarita种组成。结果表明，接种AMF和锌肥处理均显著影响叶片绿度(SPAD值)、穗轴数、穗轴数、千粒重和籽粒产量(均p<0.05)。在营养和生殖早期叶面施锌(50% ev + 50% Rp)或在生殖期叶面施锌(100% RD)时，AMF接种地块的玉米产量最高。与未接种的作物相比，似乎只有AMF接种使玉米产量提高了15%。施用锌肥比对照增产16%。筛选适合玉米作物的天然AMF菌株有待进一步研究。
