The experiment was aimed that the aspects of some plant growth parameters and yield and yield contributing traits of BRAC hybrid rice Aloron (Oryza sativa) in response to the effect of decomposed faecal sludge @ 10 t/ha and in combination with different doses of chemical fertilizers and compared with absolute control. Days to 80% heading, days to 80% maturity, total tiller per hill, panicle per square meter, plant height, panicle length, 1000 grain weight and yields were found statistically identical among the sole and integrated use of DFS with chemical fertilizer treatments. Excessive vegetative growth was observed when DFS was applied @ 10 t/ha. The highest grain yields were observed when DFS and recommended chemical fertilizer dose applied in sole but the highest grain yield was observed when DFS @ 10 t/ha along with ½ of the recommended chemical fertilizer dose was used. The average requirement of DFS irrespective of its rate, N, P and K variations, grain yield was about 9.256 t/ha and 9.108 t/ha with DFS in the year of 2013 and 2014 respectively. This implies that DFS can be utilized successfully for growing hybrid rice in Bangladesh.

The present study was conducted on the crossbred Holstein cow presented with Bovicabovis infestation around the perineal and tail regions to establish new avenues in the field of therapeutic management of Bovicolabovis infestation in cows. The Kerosene oil was applied to the tail and perineum of the affected cattle and the area was subsequently washed with water. It was found that all the animals recovered well subsequently after the operation. The present study could be helpful for the field Veterinary Professionals in managing the cases of infestations of Bovicolabovis in cattlein an indigenous and cost effective way.

The actual situation in Ethiopian farmers is alarming and calls for an intensive work on assessing pesticide use and practice, educating the farmers on good pesticide managements; sensitize the local community about consequences in misuse of pesticides. In this study one of the largest Districts of Borena Zone in the Oromya region of Ethiopia was considered to survey the pesticide use and practice of farmers. Kebele based cross-sectional comparative study was conducted using self administered questionnaires. A total of 413 study units were involved in the survey with response rate of 98 %. About 82 % of the study participants use chemical pesticides at different levels. Among the farmers who take part in spray operation, 92.48 % worn any ordinary suit with old rubber shoes during spraying and formulation. Based on the survey 75.22 % of the respondents claimed illness after pesticide spraying. Communities should adopt nopesticide policies and launch community education programs.

In this laboratory a novel series of 1-phenyl-3-[4-(2,4-dithio-3-allyl-5-substituted-1,3,5-triazino) aminophenyl]-prop-2-ene-1-ones (IIa-e) was synthesized by the isomerization of 1-phenyl-3-[4-(2-allylimino-4- substitutedimino-1,3,5-dithiazino)aminophenyl] prop-2-ene-1-ones (Ia-e)in 10% aqueous ethanolic sodium bicarbonate medium. The structure of all the synthesized compounds was justified on the basis of chemical characteristics, elemental analysis and spectral analysis.

The experiment was conducted with 34 local rice genotypes with one check varieties at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University experimental field to study characterization and genetic diversity of 35 local rice genotypes and to find out the association among the genetic characteristics. PCA showed the highest inter-cluster distance was observed between the cluster II and V (46.71) followed by III and V (46.40) and IV and V (45.43). Genotypes from these three clusters may be involved in hybridization as wide genetic variations exist among the groups. Cluster IV exhibited the highest intra-cluster distance (38.36), while the lowest distance was observed in cluster V (23.09). Further study of this experiment is needed in different locations of Bangladesh for accuracy of the results obtained from the present experiment. Considering diversity pattern and other agronomic performance lines G-10, G-13, G-15, G-18 and G-24 could be considered suitable parents for efficient hybridization in future.

Recently in this laboratory 1-substituted-2-thio-4-amino-6-methylformamidino1,3,5-triazines(XIIIa-r) were synthesised by isomerisation of 2-substituted imino-4-amino-6-formamidino-1,3,5-thiadiazines (XIIa-r) successfully by refluxing with 10% aqueous ethanolic sodium bicarbonate medium. The structure of all the synthesized compounds was justified on the basis of chemical characteristics, elemental analysis and spectral studies.

Microorganisms are important sources of bioactive natural products with enormous potential for the discovery of new molecules for drug discovery, industrial use and agricultural applications. In this study, photochemical analysis of the extracts of secondary metabolites produced by endophytic fungi from leaves of Irvingia gabonensis was carried out using recommended standards. Results revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, steroids and glycosides. Extracts from all five cultures of the endophytic fungi gave a wide variety of phytochemicals, except saponin. From the results, the different natural products fractions are a potential in the provision of the basis for the synthesis of novel therapeutics that would aid in the fighting of life threatening diseases once resistance builds up. Therefore, the search for the secondary metabolites that could enable the synthesis of drugs should be encouraged. The potential value of investigating metabolite production by endophytic fungi from leaves of Irvingia gabonesis have been demonstrated from the result to be a source promising antimicrobial compounds against some human pathogenic microbes.
