    History of Mangos

    Mango is one of the oldest trees cultivated proven by writings that are over 4,000 years old from India6. Its common name is Mango and its scientific name is the Mangifera indica L3. Mangos started growing in east India, Burma and the Andaman Islands bordering the Bay of Bengal4. People believe it was the Buddhist monks who brought the fruit to Malaysia and eastern Asia, as legend has it Buddha, the prince of India over 2,500 years ago, found peace and tranquility in a mango grove4.

    Left – over Rice (Oryza Sativa) : a Cheap and Practical Compost Enhancer

    Time and again farmers, plant growers, and backyard owners of vegetable garden have been complaining of rising cost of inorganic fertilizers such as complete and Urea. The result is that they disregard the use of these fertilizers and left their plants without it. In the end, the result is low produce and their plants are malnourished and worst less fruit. This Science Investigatory Project (SIP) entitled “Left-Over Rice: A Cheap and Practical Compost Enhancer for 28-32 days” was conducted in order to answer the problems of the farmers and plant growers. With this project, we used left-over rice from the canteens and from our households. Other materials were vegetable trimmings, fruit peelings like banana in which we got from wet markets. This Project is very useful to the community in general because they can make use of their biodegradable waste into productive use such as compost. On the other hand, compost are cheap and environment friendly organic fertilizers which can make the plants grow healthy as well as the soil fertile. The biodegradable waste such as rice instead of throwing them away can be made useful. In the end, this project will be a solution to the problem on poverty and hunger. The increase in farm output will effect additional income to the farmers. The abundant farm output can solve the problem in hunger. The community as well, can sell this compost, thereby augmenting also their household income.…

    Analysis Of The System Of Rice Intensification

    This method is, instead of being a technical strategy, a set of practices that are based on ideas and insights which contribute to the goal of creating a friendly environment for rice to fruitfully grow. The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) has its basic strategical ideas based on modification of management of seedlings, plants, soil, and water (3). Considering the simplicity of the tasks, farmers can adopt the practices relatively easily. The practices of this system are as follows (3): “seedlings transplanted at a very young stage usually just 8-12 days old, with just two small leaves; transplanting of seedlings carefully and quickly in order to have minimum trauma occurring in the roots; seedling are planted singly, only one seedling per hill, rather than 3-4 together, this avoids root competition; seedlings are planted with wide spaces between each seedling, so as to encourage a greater root and canopy growth; plant in a square grid pattern (i.e. 25x25 cm or wider); plant in good quality soil, and keep the soil well drained (rather than continually flooded during the vegetative growth stage); and weeding should be carried out at the early…

    Bangladesh authority sitting on draft GI Act

    The patenting of Basmati by RiceTec Inc. is perceived as not only intellectual property and cultural theft, but it also directly threatens farm communities in Southeast Asia. The main aim for obtaining the patent by RiceTec Inc. is to fool the consumers in believing there is no difference between spurious Basmati and real Basmati. Moreover, the theft involved in the Basmati patent is, therefore, threefold: a theft of collective intellectual and biodiversity heritage on farmers of South Asia, a theft from traders in the SE region and exporters whose markets are being stolen by RiceTec Inc., and finally a deception of consumers since RiceTec is using a stolen name Basmati for rice which are derived from Indian rice…

    Value Proposition

    Bangladesh is primarily an agrarian economy. Agriculture is the single largest producing sector of economy since it comprises about 30% of the country's GDP and employing around 60% of the total labour force. The performance of this sector has an overwhelming impact on major macroeconomic objectives like employment generation, poverty alleviation, human resources development and food security. Jute and Tea are two important agricultural products to earn foreign currency for Bangladesh. To accelerate the growth of GDP e.g. our economy and to regain the Bangladesh’s position in international market re-boosting of jute and tea necessary is very much must. Conventionally agro-industries using chemical fertilizers, chemical growth promoters which are not environment friendly, they also have side effect on human body. There’s a huge chance of boosting up this two sector by decreasing the harvesting period as well as increasing the productivity with Green SprayTM, a natural plant growth promoter, which is very much environment friendly. We have already applied this spray, Green Spray TM , to some of the vegetables like basil, palk , celery, brinjal, chilly, green-gram, lentil, almond, soybean and we’ve found an amazing result there. In every respect we’ve successfully decreased the harvesting period up to 40 percent and increased the productivity up to 30 percent. The most imperative part is it is going to keep up the nutrition level as like as it was before.…
