background and objectives: rice (oryza sativa) is one of the most important cereal crops and is the staple food source for over fifty percent of the world’s population. the population of rice-consuming countries is multiplying daily, and it is estimated that rice production must be increased in the coming years and an incensement in production will be the main goal of plant breeders. this has t...

An investigation was carried out during aman season, 2005 at the Field Laboratory of Agrotechnology Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna. Local rice variety Jatai tested against 4 different levels nitrogen viz. 0, 20, 40 and 60 kg N ha-1. The experimental results revealed that significantly affected plant height (cm), number tillers hill-1, weight 1000-grain (g), grain yield (tha-1), biologica...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity, relationship between morphological, agronomic and qualitative traits and to identify components of forage yield using some multivariate statistical methods in local sainfoin populations. the experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications in agricultural and natural resources research center...
