This chapter provides an overview of the thermochemical conversion techniques for transforming microalgae into biofuels. Microalgae are a promising source of renewable biomass for biofuel production due to their high lipid and carbohydrate content, fast growth rate, and ability to grow in diverse environmental conditions. However, the extraction an...

This study determined the influence of different cooking procedures on the removal of toxic elements (TEs) including arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb) along with other nutrient elements from different commercially available rice brands sold in Bangladeshi markets. We observed 33%, 35%, and 27% average removal of As, Cd, and Pb accordingly f...

Human health risks as a result of consuming pesticide residues in fresh vegetables have drawn serious attention to the scientific community, particularly in developing countries. This study analyzed country bean (Lablab purpureus L.) and eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) for widely used neonicotinoid, synthetic pyrethroid, and dithiocarbamate pestici...

Arum plant parts such as stem, leaf and corm and the corresponding farm soils were sampled from four As-impacted districts of Bangladesh to assess the potential health risk to humans from toxic elements (TEs) including arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb). The mean concentrations of As in arum leaf, stem and corm were 150 μg/kg, 107 μg/kg and 1...

A field experiment was conducted in medium fertile soil at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during November 2017 to April 2018 in Rabi season with a view to evaluate the performance of wheat varieties under different weed control methods. The experiment was carried out with three varieties i.e. BARI Gom-28, BARI Gom-29 and B...

Food, including rice, is the major source of toxic element cadmium (Cd) for human exposure. Globally, many populations rely on the consumption of significant amounts of rice as a staple food. Using dietary intake and concentration of Cd, this study determines the risk posed to both adults and children due to Cd exposure from consumption of rice sol...

An experiment was conducted to asses the integrated effect of organic manures and nitrogen on yield contributing characters and yield of rice (BRRI dhan29). The experiment consisted of 12 treatments, T 1 : Control condition (No chemical fertilizer, no organic manure); T 2 : 100% recommended N (120 kg N ha-1) + recommended P, K, S and Zn); T 3 : 100...

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are beneficial bacteria that colonize plant roots and enhance plant growth by a wide variety of mechanisms. Ten isolates of bacteria designated as SS01, SS02, SS03, SS04, SS05, SS06, SS07, SS08, SS09 and SS10 were successfully isolated and morphologically and biochemically characterized. Subsequently to i...

Plant probiotics or plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can enhance the growth and productivity by exerting beneficial effects through direct and indirect mechanisms. In this study, 15 bacteria were isolated from chilli Rhizoplane and rhizosphere soils (collected from farmer's field of Tangail district) and their morphological, biochemical...

A field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of integrated nutrient management on the growth and yield of hybrid dhan Hira 2. Growth and yield contributing characters of hybrid dhan Hira 2 were significantly affected by different treatments except one, non-effective tillers per hill, which was insignificant to different treatments. The hig...

The experiment consisted of eight management practices coded from T 1 to T 8 using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. At total fruiting stage, minimum fruits infestation was found from T 1 (Admire 200 SL @ 0.5 ml/L of water) (2.7%) while maxi mum from control (19.0%) in number and minimum fruits infestation was (2.5%) whereas...

The experiment was conducted at the Horticulture Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh September 2011 to February 2012 to examine the response of nitrogen and boron on growth, yield attributes and yield of rapeseed cv. BARI Sarisha-14. The experiment consisted four levels of nitrogen (N : 0, N :60, N :120 and N :180 kg N/ha) and...

An experiment was conducted at Farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh from December 2011 to April 2012 to study the influence of AWD irrigation system on growth and yield of boro rice (HIRA HYBRID dhan2). The experiment consisted nine levels of irrigations (coded from T1-T9) were used. Maximum number of total tillers (26.7/hill),...
