One method of effecting economies in product ion testing of da i ry cattle involves increasing the in terval between tests. Several studies have been published concerning the amount and importance of the accuracy lost when this in terval is lengthened. A t least seven investigators have repor ted the accuracy of lactat ion records computed f rom monthly bu t t e r fa t tests and milk weights as...

The relationship between characterictics of flour of common wheat varieties and fresh pasta-making qualitites was examined, and the fresh pasta-making properties of extra-strong varieties that have extra-strong dough were evaluated. There was a positive correlation between mixing time (PT) and hardness of boiled pasta, indicating that the hardness of boiled pasta was affected by dough propertie...

European agriculture suffers from a substantial deficit of protein sources forlivestock and the projected changes in agro-climatic conditions in Central Europeinclude a higher risk of drought. To address these challenges, the drought resistantlegume crop chickpea was compared with pea, barley and oat regarding its nitrogen(N) yield, protein yield and N use and utilization efficiency under Centr...

An experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from December 2004 to May 2005 to determine the most effective kind of trellis for the rice-cum-vegetable production system. The treatments consisted of five crop combinations viz. C0: rice alone i.e. control, C1: rice + bottle gourd, C2: rice + white gourd, C3: rice + ...

Objective:  In addition to the role of organic matter in plant nutrition, this material improves soil quality, physical structure, ventilation and water supply, and ease of penetration and expansion is rooted deep in the soil surface. Effects of organic matter due to climatic factors, soil characteristics may vary from region to region, resulting in organic materials management must be given to...

Several management approaches were evaluated against pod borer attacking yard long bean during April - July, 2019 at Entomology Research Field, Bangladesh Agricultural Institute (BARI), Gazipur. The package namely sanitation + spraying bio-pesticide Antario (Package 1), Spinosad 45 SC 3) and alternate of 45SC 4) showed almost equal effectiveness in reducing flower damage by higher yield. But th...

The objective of this study is to assess the possibility using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) multispectral imagery for rapid monitoring, water stress detection and yield prediction under different sowing periods irrigation treatments common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, L). used a two-factorial split-plot design, divided into subplots. There were three (plots; I—mid April, II—end May/beginning June...

in order to develop a high yielding rice cultivar with optimum cooking quality, a cross was conducted between two rice cultivars khazar, high yielding and resistant to blast disease and daylamani tarom, with good cooking quality in 1990. forty pure lines were selected and compared for high grain yield in 1996. ten selected lines together with two check cultivars dasht and onda were tested in ad...
