The use of non-destructive devices like Delta-T-LeafAreaMeter and Canegro Models can help farmers to manage their cane crops and have an understanding of the importance of measurement of physiological parameters so as to maximize cane and sugar yields. This study was conducted on sandy clay loams of the lithosol group under the Zimbabwe soil classification system at The Zimbabwe Sugar Associati...

C quality is important to fruit and vegetable growers, buyers, and handlers. °Brix readings indicate soluble solids content. Since soluble solids represent a product’s potential sweetness (an aspect of quality), °Brix readings can interest many throughout the value chain. Three steps are required to make effective use of °Brix readings: (1) obtain accurate representative values; (2) become fami...

Now a days, tomato production in Bangladesh is increasing. But land area for cultivation not increased. Due to the adoption of new High Yield Variety (HIV) and hybrid total Farmers are willing produce off-season or summer tomatoes because their high price. Production profitable by considering cost benefit. Summer both more highly than seasonal production. A large part farmers small farmers. The...

Just after transplanting, the vegetable has difficulty in nutrients uptake. To explore the effect of different fertilization on spring cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata) production and fertilizer use efficiencies, this experiment consisting of six treatments was implemented and divided into three groups: 1) no fertilizer (NF) and vegetable planting fertilizer (VPF); 2) conventional fe...

The study provides data on two cases of foodborne botulism caused by consumption of commercial vegetable products: artichoke preserve and cream of vegetable soup. By mouse bioassay, Clostridium botulinum toxin in both the suspected food samples was detected and identified as type B toxin. The detection of C. botulinum toxin in the artichoke preserve indicates an inadequate food production techn...

Integrated aquaculture is an efficient method to address food scarcity and land resources. This study analysed the impacts of integrated rice–prawn–vegetable farms (RPVF) compared with conventional rice (CRF) on farming households in southwest Bangladesh, terms cropping pattern, financial profitability viability, cash-flow. Data were collected through face-to-face recall interviews from farmers...

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 + ...
