Strawberry germplasm viz. V 1 (Germplasm-01), V 2 (Germplasm-02), V (Germplasm-03) and organic matters viz. OMc (Control), OMcd (Cowdung), OMvc (Vermicompost), OMpl (Poultry Litre) were exploited on the experiment; which was outlined in Complete Randomized Design with five replication. Among germplasm, maximum fruits number (16.5/plant), fruit weight (14.1 g), total fruit weight (244.9 g/plant), brix percentage (8.3%) were found from V 3 whereas minimum in V 2 1 and among organic matters, maximum fruits number (19.2/plant), fruit weight (14.4 g), total fruit weight (282.8 g/plant), brix percentage (10.2%) were found from OMvc whereas minimum in OMc. Maximum fruit weight (400.1 g/plant) were found in V 1 OMvc and minimum in V OMc. Leaf area showed positive correlation with all of yield and quality parameters significantly. In view of overall performances, this study suggests that vermicompost as a potential source of plant 2 nutrients for suitable strawberry production. So, Germplasm-01 with vermicompost has admirable possibility for organic strawberry production.

ANOWER This study was conducted to find out the postharvest challenges on potato in northern zone of Bangladesh. Both primary and secondary data were used in this study. Study areas were Shibganj of Bogra and Kalai of Joypurhat district and a total of 120 respondents were randomly selected for interview. The selected characteristics: age, education, experience in potato cultivation, farm size, family size and annual income were selected for exploring their relationships with faced challenges by the respondents. In order to compare the challenges faced by the farmers, a challenge facing index was lack of marketing facilities and 3 rd was lack of processing facilities during potato growing season 2010-11. Probable suggestion to overcome the existing challenges of the potato farmers were collected by their opinions. It may conclude that until the potato farmers are free from different challenges, they will not be in a position to adopt improved technology in potato cultivation.

BASIRUL An experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from May to December 2011 to find the influence of spacing and gibberellic acid on growth and flowering of tuberose . The experiment consisted of two factors. Three levels of spacing viz., 1 : 20 × 10 cm ; ( viz., 0 : 0 ppm 2 : 20 × 15 cm and (iii) 1 : 200 ppm 6 2 3 : 20 × 20 cm and four levels of GA : 250 ppm and respectively . The experiment was conducted in a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The maximum number of spike and maximum number of spike 2 2 3 : 300 ppm GA . In respect of combined effect, S produced the maximum number of spike 2 G 3 . The maximum benefit cost ratio and the minimum 1 G 0 . Considering above findings the 20 cm × 20 cm spacing with 250 ppm GA 3 . was suitable for tuberose cultivation A Thesis Submitted to the Department of Horticulture Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University,Dhaka In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE HORTICULTURE Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT http://localhost:8080/handle/123456789/254 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/handle/123456789/253 EFFECT OF ORGANIC MANURES ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF TOMATO VARIETIES AND ASSESSMENT OF SHELF LIFE PARVIN, SOHELY The field experiment was conducted in the Horticultural farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka during the period from October 2010 to March 2011. Two factors were used in the experiment, viz. factor A. four types of organic manure such as M 0 = Control, M 1 = Cowdung 5 2 = Poultry manure = Vermicompost V 2 = BARI tomato 14 and V 3 1 = BARI tomato 15, = BARI tomato 2. The experiment was laid out in Randomized complete Block Design with three replications. The maximum yield 2 V 1 , while M minimum and the lowest 0 V 3 0 V . In case of shelf life three storage conditions were used, such as open at room temperature 24 temperature 24 0 C and refrigerator in 10 0 0 3 gave the C, perforated polythene bag in room C with both in half ripe and full ripe conditions. The height shelf life was found when tomato was kept in refrigerator in 10 24 0 0 C in half ripe C in full ripe condition.
