An experiment on the effect of rate of arbuscular mycorrhiza inoculum in producing tomato seedlings (var. Ratan) were conducted in the seedbed of Soil Science Division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Joydebpur, Gazipur, Bangladesh during rabi season of 2007-08 and 2008-09. Seven rates of AM inoculum viz. 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 kg m-2 were studied on tomato seedlings. Cowdung was used at the rate of 5 kg m-2 as basal. Seeds were sown in 10 cm apart solid lines on 13 November 2007 and 11 November 2008, and the seedlings were thinned down to about 3 cm from seedling to seedling within a week of germination. Ratan was used as the variety of tomato. Biomass yield, seedling height and nutrient uptake by tomato seedlings increased greatly with the use of AM inoculum. Biomass yield of tomato seedlings followed quadratic trend with the increase of AM inoculum rate from 0 to 1.0 kg m-2 in 2007-08 and 0 to 2.0 kg m-2 in 2008-09.Bangladesh J Microbiol, Volume 29, Number 2, Dec 2012, pp 104-108

A pot experiment was conducted in the Net house of Soil Science Division of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Joydebpur, Gazipur during rabi season, 2017-2018 in Tista Meander Floodplain Soils (AEZ-3). The objectives were to evaluate the effect of boron on the yield of wheat, estimate boron use efficiency and to find out suitable variety for maximizing the yield. The experiment was designed in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications. Three varieties of wheat (BARI Gom-28, BARI Gom-29 and BARI Gom-30) with 5 levels of boron (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2 kg ha-1) along with a blanket dose N120P30K90S15Zn3Mg6 kg ha-1 were used in the study. All the three varieties performed well with application of 1.5 kg B ha-1 as compared to the other B treatments. However, the highest yield (39.2 g pot-1) was obtained with BARI Gom-30 variety receiving B at 1.5 kg ha-1. Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 44(2): 303-310, June 2019

An experiment on the effect of rate of Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) inoculum on tomato seedlings was conducted at Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Joydebpur, Gazipur, Bangladesh for two consecutive years. Seven rates of AM inoculum viz., 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, and 3.0 kg/m2 were tested. Cowdung was used at a rate of 5 kg/m2. Seeds were sown in 10 cm apart lines on 13 November 2007 and 11 November 2008, and the seedlings were thinned out to about 3 cm from seedling to seedling within a week of germination. Roma VF was used as a variety of tomato. Biomass yield, root colonization, spore number, and nutrient uptake by tomato seedlings increased remarkably with the rates of AM inoculum. The biomass yield followed a quadratic trend with the increase of AM inoculum rate from 0 to 2.0 kg/m2 in 2007-08 and 0 to 1.5 kg/m2 in 2008-09.

An experiment on the effect of different sources of Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi on tomato seedlings (var. Roma VF) was conducted at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur during rabi 2007-08 and 2008-09. Eight sources of AM fungi viz., AM-01 (Jessore), AM-02 (Rahmatpur), AM-03 (Joydebpur), AM-04 (Ullapara), AM-05 (Jamalpur), AM-06 (Hathazari), AM-07 (Ishurdi), and AM-08 (Rajshahi) were studied along with a control and mixed sources on tomato seedlings. Soil based AM inoculum at the rate of 2.0 kg/m2 was used. Biomass yield of tomato (Roma VF) increased from 14.8% to 53.6% in 2007-08 and 32.1% to 58.4% in 2008-09 over control by inoculation with different sources of AM. The highest biomass yield (301 mg/seedling) of tomato (Roma VF) was observed with AM-05 (Jamalpur source), which was higher to all AM sources except AM-07 (Ishurdi source). Nutrient uptake by tomato seedlings was improved by inoculation with AM fungi. The AM fungi from all the sources appeared to be effective in enhancing the growth and development of tomato seedlings.

Management of Jassid (Empoasca terminalis) of groundnut using botanical and chemical insecticide viz. zet powder, neem kernel extract, biskatali dust extract and neem oil, Tafgar 20 EC and their integration was studied at Regional Agricultural Research Station, .Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Rahmatpur, Barisal during rabi season of 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. The infestation of Jassid (Empoasca terminalis) was noticed during 1st week of March and the highest infestation of Jassid (Empoasca terminalis) was 345 per plant observed in the last week of April in 2009, 2010. Among the treatments as expected Tafgar 20 EC reduced the highest Jassid (Empoasca terminalis) (99.55%) with the highest BCR (5.65) followed by Neem kernel extract + Zet powder (56.32%), Neem oil + Zet powder (55.13%). Neem kernel extract (2.5%) + Biskatali dust extract (54.31) and Zet powder (48.33%) recorded at 15 days after spray over the pre-treatment count. Neem kernel extract + Zetpowder gave the second highest BCR (4.76) followed by Neem oil +Zet powder (4.29), Neem kernel extract (2.5%) + Biskatali dust extract (3.88) and Zet powder 4g/l of water (3.32).DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jesnr.v7i2.22222 J.

The experiment was carried out at Agronomy Research field of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Joydebpur, Gazipur and Regional Agricultural Research Station, Hathazari, Chittagong to find out optimum sowing date of sunflower during rabi season 2012-13. The sunflower var. BARI Surjomukhi-2 was used. Five sowing dates; 10 November, 20 November, 30 November, 10 December and 20 December were tested. It was revealed that yield and yield attributes of sunflower were significantly influenced by sowing dates. The maximum plant height (172.13 cm), head diameter (18.33), weight of seed / per head (66 g), 1000- seed weight (68 g) and yield (2.5 t ha?1) were obtained from 20 November sowing. The lowest yield (1.83 t ha?1) was obtained from 20 December sowing. The 20 November sowing received the higher duration for maturity (127 days), first flowering (57 days) and seed formation (20 days) while 20 December sowing showed shorter duration for maturity, first flowering and seed formation of 119, 54 and 14 days respectively. It was concluded that the 20 November sowing would be the optimum time of sowing for achieving maximum yield of sunflower.Bangladesh Agron. J. 2015, 18(1): 1-5

Field experiment was carried out at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research institute, Joydebpur, Gazipur during 2010 to 2011 to identify suitable legume crops with maize in maize + legume intercropping systems for better weed suppression, productivity and economic benefits in Rabi season.  There were 17 treatments of which two sole crop of hybrid maize (Zea mays BARI Hybrid bhutta -9) (weed free and no weeding), three weed free sole crops of pea (SN), bushbean (SN) and cowpea (SN) in Rabi season, and their intercropping. Twelve intercropping with different weeding regimes (no weeding, one hand weeding at 20 days after emergence (DAE), one hand weeding at 40 DAE, and two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAE of maize-legume intercropping under normal row (75 cm Î 25 cm), and two rows of legumes in between two rows of maize were used . Among all intercropping, maize-pea with two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAE gave the lowest (6.57 g m-2 at harvest) weed dry weight and the highest weed control efficiency (86% at harvest). Maize-pea with two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAE gave the highest yield (maize: 7.58 t ha-1; 6.27 t ha-1 pea), resource complementarily and profitability (LER = 1.89, BCR = 4.19). Intercropping of two rows of pea in between two rows of maize with two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAE to be a promising practice for weed suppression and profitable maize + legume intercropping in Rabi season.

The effect of different sources of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi on chilli seedlings was conducted in the net house of Soil Science Division, BARI, Gazipur. The AM fungi from various sources including an exotic variety were included in this study. Soil-based AM inoculum was used at the rate of 50 g/pot. It was found that the growth, biomass yield and nutrient uptake of inoculated seedlings were significantly higher than those of uninoculated seedlings. Such higher growth and nutrient uptake appeared to be due to beneficial effects of AM fungi. The performance of the indigenous AM inocula was much better than the exotic inoculum with respect to biomass production and nutrient uptake. Inoculation with AM fungi helped to produce healthy and vigorous seedlings with faster growth. This would help reducing the nursery life and thereby reduce the cost of seedling production. It is expected that the AM inoculated seedlings might perform better in the field trail since the fungi could colonize with the roots.Keywords: Arbuscular mycorrhiza, Chilli seedlings, Pot cultureDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjm.v23i2.870 Bangladesh J Microbiol, Volume 23, Number 2, December 2006, pp 98-101
