Okra seeds (OSD) have been proved to possess significantly anti-fatigue activity and due to their high contents of flavonoids and polyphenols. While, the quality of OSD is easily affected by harvest time, region and other factors. In this research, the rapid method based on Fourier transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectroscopy was developed for quality assessment of okra seeds. Firstly, 120 sam...

Intercropping is a labor-intensive practice largely adopted by smallholder farmers to increase yield per unit area, cope with crop failures and market fluctuations, meet food preferences farm income. A field experiment was conducted examine the performances intercropping efficiencies of sweet corn okra planted in young rubber plantation. The treatments were arranged Randomized Complete Block De...

An experiment was conducted at the research field in Department of Agriculture, Noakhali Science and Technology University, Noakhali, Bangladesh during period from March to July 2022 study effect vermicompost on growth yield okra. The laid out a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) comprising four treatments with three replications. were T0 (Control), T1 (Vermicompost 10 t ha-1), T2 15 ha-1)...

Recently, the anti-glycation and anticancer properties of curcumin longa and okra seed extract were studied alone and also in combination with the well-established drug metformin. The combined effect of curcumin with metformin and metformin with okra seed extract was found to be highly efficacious in inhibiting Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs). In order to understand the mechanistic impli...
