A.; Alam, M. M. Study on the variabilities, genetic parameters, character associations and path coefficients between yield and fourteen important characteristics of ten ash gourd genotypes were conducted to determine the critical traits that contribute to yield. The genotypes exhibited a wide range of variability for all the characters studied. Heritability (h\) estimates were high for all the characters except number of female flower per plant, edible fruit length and diameter. Highest Genetic Advance in Percentage of Mean (GAPM) were observed in node order of first male and female flower anthesis followed by plant height at first male and female flower anthesis and edible fruit yield per plant and number of plant per hectare. Edible fruit yield had high negative rp and rg' with plant height for first male and female flower anthesis, days to first male and female flower anthesis and edible fruit yield per plant. Yield had also high negative rg with node order of first male and female flower anthesis and positive rg with number of female flower per plant and edible fruit length. Edible fruit length and weight of individual fruit directly contributed to the yield of ash gourd. For increasing yield, selection should be based on plants bearing more fruits with higher length and weight. 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/handle/123456789/2086 EFFECTIVENESS OF INFORMATION SOURCES AS PERCEIVED BY THE SUB-ASSISTANT AGRICULTURE OFFICERS Alam, M. M.; Islam, M. R.; Bhuiyan, M. H. The specific objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of information sources as perceived by the Sub-Assistant Agriculture Officers (SAAOs). Attempts were also made to determine eight selected characteristics of the SAAOs and their relationship with effectiveness of information sources. Ten in formation sources were considered in this study for measuring effectiveness. Data were collected from a sample of 100 SAAOs of the five Upazilas of Chapainawabgonj district. Pearson's correlation co-efficient was used to determine the relationships between the dependent and independent variables. It was revealed from the study that majority (90 percent) of the respondents' opined that these information sources were moderate to highly effective compared to only 10 percent of the respondents' opined these sources were less effective. In respect of relationship between dependent and independent variables it was revealed that except age and annual family income of the respondents all other characteristics such as service length, training received, organizational participation. job facilities. attitude towards rice production technologies and use of communication media were found to be significant. 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z http://localhost:8080/handle/123456789/2085 EFFECT OF VERMICOMPOST AND NPK FERTILIZERS ON THE POTASSIUM AND SULPHUR CONTENTS IN WHEAT AND THE POST HARVEST SOIL Bhuiyan, M. S. I.; Islam, M. N.; Haque, M. S. A field experiment was conducted at the Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Farm, Dhaka 1207 during the Rabi season of2004-2005 to study the effect ofvermicompost and NPK on potassium and sulphur content of wheat and in the post harvest soil. The treatments consisted of 4 levels of vermicomposts viz. V. (0 t ha"), VI (I t ha"), V, (2 t ha·I),V3 (3 t ha"), and 4 levels of chemical fertilizers viz. F,,= (0-0-0 kg NPK ha'), F1= low (40-30-20 kg NPK ha'), F, = medium (80-60-40 kg NPK ha'), F3= high (120-80-60 kg NPK ha") as N-P,O,K20 with 16 treatments combinations. The results demonstrated that with increasing the doses of vermicomposts and chemical fertilizers, K and S content were increased in wheat straw at three stages and in the post harvest soil significantly. The highest doses of verrnicompost and chemical fertilizers enhanced potssium and sulphur content at the maximum tillering stage. 2008-01-01T00:00:00Z
