The study identified agronomic practices, analyzed relative profitability, and resource use efficiency of tuberose cultivation in Bangladesh during January 2010. Primary data were collected from 100 randomly selected farmers from Jessore and Chuadanga districts. The results revealed that the per hectare costs of tuberose cultivation were estimated at Tk. 2,00,761 and Tk. 1,29,283 over full cost...

A reverse phase High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) method to determine puerarin in Pueraria tuberose was developed and described. The method involves separation of active compound using mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile: water: orthophosporic acid in the ratio of 32:67:01 and detecting the chromatogram at 280 nm using photodiode array detector. The sensitivity of the method was ob...

Recent research on seeds of bio-diesel plants like Jatropha curcas, constituting 40-50% bio-crude oil indicates its potential as one of the most promising alternatives to conventional sources of energy. Also, limited studies on utilization of de-oiled cake have revealed that Jatropha bio-waste has good potential to be used as organic fertilizers produced via aerobic and anaerobic treatment. How...

The foliar nematode Aphelenchoides besseyi causes white tip disease in rice (Oryza sativa L.) and floral malady in tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.). This nematode is widely distributed in the rice fields of many states of India, including West Bengal (WB), Andhra Pradesh (AP), Madhya Pradesh (MP) and Gujarat (GT). In order to generate information on intraspecific variations of A. besseyi as we...

BACKGROUND Neonatal Tuberose sclerosis complex may be associated with symptomatic cardiac rhabdomyomas. Cardiac rhabdomyomas are the most common cardiac tumours. The symptoms include haemodynamic instability and life threatening arrhythmias usually requiring early surgical intervention. RESULTS We report a case of a 32 week gestation newborn diagnosed with a right ventricular outflow tract ma...

Introduction Angiomyolipoma (hamartoma) of the kidney is a rare finding. Hajdu and Foote (1969) recorded an incidence of 0.31% in 8501 post-mortem cases. McCullough, Scott and Seybold (1971), Becker et al. (1973), Honey and Honey (1977) consider that 50-80% of renal hamartomas appear in patients with tuberose sclerosis. Angiomyolipomas without tuberose sclerosis are usually solitary and unilate...

tuberose (polianthes tuberosa l.) is one of the most important bulbous ornamental crops of tropical and subtropical areas. the objective of the present study was to determine the interaction effects of salinity and irrigation intervals on growth and flowering of two important commercial cultivars (‘mahallati’ and ‘dezfuli’) of tuberose (polianthes tuberosa l.). irrigation treatments consisted o...

An experiment was conducted at the Floriculture Research Field of Horticulture Research Centre (HRC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh during April, 2015 to February, 2017 to find out the suitable planting materials for specific tuberose genotype for growth, flowering and bulb production of tuberose. Individually both genotypes showed better performances for some ...

tuberose (polianthes tuberosa l.) is one of the most important cut flowers in tropical and subtropical areas. this flower has forth order in cut flower and second order in bulbous plants production in iran. plant spacing and nitrogen necessity are the most important factors for tuberose quality and quantity. in this study, field experiment carried out as factorial design in randomized complete ...
