Bangladesh is a developing country and its economy depends largely on agriculture but the economic sector is most vulnerable to climate change and variability. This survey study was intended to know the nature of hazards, identify and analyze the adaptation options to climate change in Shyamnagar Upazila in the Satkhira district. Data were collected from the farmers of five selected villages namely Ramjannagar, Padmapukur, Munshiganj, Kashimari, and Koikhali from Shyamnagar Upazila in the Satkhira district during the period of August, 2016 to December, 2016 using open questionnaire process. The sample size was 100 farmers drawn from a population of 650 inhabitans using random sampling technique. Data were processed and analyzed using Excel-2007 and SPSS-16. The study found that the intensity of salinity has increased and most of the respondents observed that some crops were more damaged than they were in the past and some other hazards (flood, cyclone, rainfall) were posing new threat by changing their nature.

Aims: The experiment was conducted to assess the effect of vermicompost and tuber size on processing quality of potato during ambient storage condition. Study design: Experiment was conducted in a split-plot design, where vermicompost levels were assigned to main plots and tuber size to subplots.
A pot experiment was conducted in the Net House of "Field Laboratory of Plant Stress Management" in the Horticulture farm of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, during the period from October 2016 to March 2017. The two factors experiment was laid out in Complete Randomized Design with five replications. Factor A is three tomato varieties viz. V 1 = Exotic line 1 (Korean), V 2 = Exotic line 2 (Taiwan) and V 3 = BARI tomato 14 and factor B is seed priming treatment viz. P 0 = No priming (Control), P 1 = Hydropriming (distilled water), P 2 = NaCl priming (50 mM) and P 3 = KNO 3 priming (200 mM). The total treatment combinations were (4×3) 12 and 8 dS/m fixed salinity maintained for all the pots. The experimental results exhibited that seed priming treatment significantly affected growth, yield and quality parameters of tomato. The highest plant height (137.10 cm), number of fruits per plant (40.92) and fruit yield per plant (585.00 g) were found from V 1 under 8 dS/m salinity level. In case of seed priming, the highest plant height (150.10 cm), number of fruits per plant (48.11) and fruit yield per plant (755.80 g) were recorded from P 2 mostly at 8 dS/m salinity level. Regarding the combined effect, the highest plant height (187.00 cm), number of fruits per plant (55.00) and fruit yield per plant (829.30 g) were found from V 1 P 2 under 8 dS/m salinity level. So, Exotic line 1 with NaCl priming (50mM) showed better performance for growth, yield and quality of tomato under saline condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
