In the urban area there is scarce space for planting trees and cultivating agricultural plants. Rooftop gardening might be an alternative to overcome this land scarcity. However, the present status of rooftop gardening and the associated problems are yet to be documented. The present study mainly analyzes the scenario of rooftop gardening, its problem confrontation and its effects on the surroundings. Nirala and Sonadanga area of Khulna city were purposively selected for the study from where a total of 60 rooftop gardens were randomly selected for face-to-face interview with a pre-tested interview schedule during the period of 15 March to 20 April, 2018. Results showed that majority of the rooftop gardeners belonged to the group of old age (40%), undergrad and above level of education (61.6%) and small family size (55%) with high annual income (41.7%). Majority of them had low experience (40%), but high knowledge (76.7%) on rooftop gardening. Besides, 58.3% respondents had no organizational participation along with seldom extension contact (66.7%) and seldom cosmopoliteness (81.7%). More than half of the respondents (65%) had small size (≤1000 ft2) roof area suitable for gardening. The rooftop gardeners earned very poor economic benefit from the garden compared to bearing large expenditure for it. Most of the respondents preferred rooftop garden as a hobby (98.33%) and aesthetics (90%). Again, 51.67% respondents considered it as an aspect of ecological balance. Vegetables (16.57%) and flowers (12.53%) were the most dominating plants in the study area for rooftop gardens. Main intercultural operations included irrigation, weeding, training/pruning and control of insects and diseases. Commonly faced insects were ant, mealy bug and green leaf hopper with the diseases of die back, viral disease, leaf curling and leaf scorching. Common fertilizers used in the study area were cow dung, compost, urea, MoP and sesame cake. Excessive heat (91.67%), lack of proper nourishment (87.08%) and roof load (72.92%) were the most severe problems. Among the 9 selected characteristics only age of the respondents showed significant positive relationship with problem confrontation. Besides, weather parameters showed positive impacts in case of green roof than empty roof. Thus, the overall results indicate great contributions of rooftop gardening in urban areas in terms of environmental reclamation.

Black quarter (BQ), caused by Clostridium chauvoei, is an economically important, highly infectious bacterial disease of cattle, goat and sheep. The present study was conducted to isolate and identify the causal agent of BQ from field cases. A total of 32 samples from necropsied areas of cattle presented to the Teaching Veterinary Hospital, Bangladesh Agricultural University were collected. The samples were subjected for bacteriological culture followed by identification through a series of conventional bacteriological techniques, staining properties and biochemical tests. The bacteria were cultured in anaerobic condition using candle jar. Morphological characters of bacteria were observed after Gram stain. The suspected samples were subjected for several passages in liver infusion broth to get pure culture. On neomycin blood agar, the bacteria showed hemolysis. Based on the cultural and staining characteristics and biochemical tests, 4 (12.5%) out of 32 samples were confirmed as Cl. chauvoei. It is concluded that Cl. chauvoei has been successfully isolated and identified from BQ affected cattle.

An observation on the performance of UC Davis chimney drier on drying of leather was carried out at BAU-GPC, Department of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, during February 2017-October 2017.Jackfruits leather were trailed by two varieties. The collected jackfruits were peeled off the hard rind of the jackfruits, then extract the juice manually and maintained the desirable thickness layer i.e. 1.0 cm, 0.5 cm on the tray. Some trays were placed under UC Davis chimney drier for study and some trays were placed on open with net condition as control. Required times to dry was (8.25 days) for jackfruits leather dry under UCD than open with net condition (12.75 days). Solar dry matter content (15.84%), final TSS (38.17% Brix), storage time (247.75 days) was higher in UCD than open with net condition (13.67%, 0.00% and 24.42 days). Relative humidity (61.25%) and moisture content (86.33%) was high in open with net than UCD (44.79% and 84.16% respectively).Thickness of 0.5cm required less (9.33 days) to dry than 1.0cm (11.67days). 0.5cm solar dry matter was high (18.22%), longer storage (137.42 days) than 1.0cm (11.29% and 134.75 days). Panel test was high (55.00% aroma, 57.00% color and 51.00% taste) under UCD than open with net condition (35.83%, 34.00% and 33.34% respectively). Thickness of 0.5cm was high (50.00% aroma, 47.50% color and 36.33% taste) than 1.0cm (40.48%, 44.00% and 36.33% respectively) thickness of jackfruits leather.
