Fifty two genotypes were evaluated to find out the genetic variability, character association, and path coefficient for reproductive traits of exotic rice germplasm in experimental field of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University, Salna, Gazipur during December 2008 to May 2009. The analysis of variance showed significant variation for all the characters indicating wide geneti...

The computer program WPACKING was validated using bin data for three different bin conditions: 1) a smooth-walled bin filled with wheat, 2) a corrugated-walled bin filled with wheat, and 3) a corrugated-walled bin filled with corn. WPACKING is a computer program which utilizes the differential form of Janssen’s equation to predict the pressures and amount of material stored in a bin. The differ...

A 3- years (2015, 2016 and 2017) field study was carried out at National Wheat Research Program, Bhirahawa, Rupandehi, Nepal to evaluate the influence of crop residues and nitrogen levels on rice. The experiment was conducted in split plot design with three replications. Main plots were two crop residue levels (with crop residues of 30 cm wheat stubble and without crop residues) and sub plots c...

To determine the effect of inorganic N fertilizer on the incidence of yellow stem borer (YSB), Scirpophaga incertulas Walker and on grain yield, yield attributes and bio-chemical characters of local paddy cultivar Tulaipanji, a field experiment for three consecutive years (2007-2009) was carried out by randomized block design in pesticide untreated field. Treatments comprised of seven different...

water shortage and its consumption resulted in development of a suitable rice cultivation system which use less water. therefore, this preliminary research was carried out to study the possibility of coversion of irrigated system of rice cultivation to aerobic. we tested 61 aerobic rice genotypes, in which were developed at international rice research institute (irri), together with 3 diverse l...

The transport of 3H+ (as HTO) and 36Cl- (as Na36Cl) was investigated in the dynamic system, i.e., in the columns filled with crushed pure granite and fracture infill of various grain sizes. The aim of column experiments was to determine important transport parameter, such as the retardation, respectively distribution coefficients, Peclet numbers and hydrodynamic dispersion coefficients. Further...
