Rice productivity varies substantially across rice varieties along with judicious nitrogenous fertilizer and weed management (WM) practices. At AFL, Bangladesh Agricultural University, we tested two cultivars of short‐duration drought‐tolerant T. aman (autumn) rice, Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) dhan66 and BRRI dhan71, and how different ...

Ozone‐Tolerant Rice for Air‐Polluted Environments
To combat air pollution impacts, we introduced ozone tolerance into Bangladeshi rice varieties by marker‐assisted introgression of two quantitative trait loci (QTLs) from the landrace Kasalath. The resulting breeding lines displayed reduced stress symptoms and yield losses under elevated ozone conditions.

Productivity and Resource Use Efficiency of Boro Rice Production
This study was attempted to measure and compare resource use efficiency and relative productivity of farming under different tenure conditions in an area of Bhola district. A random sampling technique was used in the study. Sample farmers were classified as owner, crop share tenant and cash tenant farmers. A total of 90 samples, 30 from each class were

The Food and Agricultural Approaches to Reducing Malnutrition (FAARM) trial found no evidence that a 3‐year Homestead Food Production intervention reduced anaemia or micronutrient deficiencies among women and young children in rural Bangladesh. The intervention had improved diets and hygiene practices, but bigger changes may be needed.

Temporary Migration Decisions and Effects on Household Income and Diets in Rural Bangladesh
ABSTRACT Temporary migration is a widely observed phenomenon among poor rural households, yet often overlooked by policy‐makers and not captured well in standard household surveys. Although temporary migration is often related to agricultural seasonality, household preferences for temporary over longer‐term migration, and the differential effects of ...

Under irrigated condition, double transplanting (DT) of Boro rice in a T. Aman-Potato-Boro cropping pattern may be an alternative option either to reduce the yield loss of late planted Boro rice or to keep it at a minimum level. An experiment was conducted during 2003 - 2006 at Gazipur and Kapasia with three cropping patterns.
