ABSTRACT: Comparative efficacy of different herbicides against weeds in transplanted kharif rice was studied at Agricultural Farm of Institute of Agriculture, Visva Bharati,Sriniketan, West Bengal. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with 9 treatments and 3 replications. The results revealed that the major weed flora associated with the transplanted rice during kharif season was mainly comprised of Echinochloa colona, Cyperus iria L., Sphenoclea zeylanica Gaertn. and Ludwigia parvifloraRoxb. Bispyribac sodium @30 g a.i ha-1applied at 25 days after transplanting was most effective to check all types of weed population and their growth. This treatment also gave the maximum grain yield (5549 kg ha-1)..............

Keywords: Bispyribac sodium, grain yield, transplanted rice.

ABSTRACT: Fattening the broiler chicken at lower age for better profit is the main focus of farmers who resort to various feeds to reach their goal. Any adverse effect in chicken's body through feed might produce health hazard to the consumers. Therefore, it is important to discover the concentration level of bio-chemical parameters in chicken's body due to different types of feeds available in the market. The study was conducted on seventy chickens which were randomly allocated to provide two types of feeds. Blood samples were taken at 35thdayand readings for lipid profiles, liver enzyme parameters along with calcium and creatinine were determined through lab experiment...........

Keywords: Broiler, Lipid profile, Liver function, Multivariate analysis of variance and PLS Path Modelling.

ABSTRACT: Rice cultivation in peat swamp agricultural lands in South Kalimantan has significant relationship with the issues of global warming. The aims of the study was to identify the methane gases releases from paddy field which are cultivated by local rice in Tamban sub district, Barito Kuala, Kuala Regency in South Kalimantan. Four local rice cultivars namely Siam Unus Putih, Pandak Putih, Siam 11 and Siam Rukut were cultivated in peat swamp paddy field. Methane release from each paddy cultivar was measured using close chamber technique. Research of the study shows that the emissions of methane from peat swamp paddy field with local rice cultivation during vegetative growth was increase and decrease...........

Keywords: Peat swamp, global warming, local rice cultivar

ABSTRACT: Field trial was carried out in the Sudano-Guinean zone of Cameroon to investigate the effect of pretreatment of chicken manures and vivianitepowder (applied as mineral supply)on agronomic parameters of carrot plants (Daucuscarota L.) and some chemical propertiesof carrot roots. Randomized complete block design with 11 treatments and three replications was used.Treatments were applied per plant: T0 = control; P5 = 5g vivianite powder, P10 = 10g vivianite powder, FS1 = 0.25g dried manure, FS2 = 0.5kg dried manure; FC1=0.25 Kg composted manure; FC2=0.5 Kg composted manure; X1=0.25 Kg dried manure+0.25 Kg composted manure; X2=0.5 Kg dried manure...........
