Dill cultivated throughout the world as a medicinal plant. It is used traditionally as a popular aromatic herb and spice. Dill (Anethum graveolens), Physicochemical, Medicinal uses, Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, analgesic effects. Dill (Anethum graveolens) used as an anti-convulsion, antiemetic, anti-cramp (in children), as a wound healer and to increase the appetite and strengthen the stomach. Anethum graveolens contained essential oils, fatty oil, moisture proteins, carbohydrates, fiber, ash, furanocoumarin, polyphenols and mineral. Previous studies showed that Anethum graveolens induced antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, gastric mucosal protective and ant secretory effects, smooth muscle relaxant effect, hyperlipidemia, increased progesterone concentration, and many other effects. The aim of the present review is to highlight the chemical constituent and pharmacological effects of Anethum graveolens before cooking and after cooking. There are protein and starch loss after cooking, Vitamin-C and Lipid loss moderately but Beta carotene and Iron loss very little.

ABSTRACT
This study was critically evaluated the livelihood of one of the Bangladesh ethnic tribal communities, the Sawtals and others tribal peoples. Being the minority, the Sawtals faces some challenges to adjust to social, economic and natural changes that came in their way during the last three hundred years. For the study Sawtal and others tribal communities a research was conducted Sirajganj district Sadar upzilla in 2018-19 fiscal year. This study aims was to find the impacts on the livelihood pattern of the Sawtals due to the depletion of the common pool resources and how they were coping with this situation. This study identifies that pragmatic and comprehensive arrangement for the Sawtals was necessary so that they can continue living by preserving their ethnicity and cultural diversity. Ensure food security, improved nutritional status and reduced the poverty of Sawtal and others tribal families through boosting agricultural production and improved income generating opportunities at the household levels.
Key words: Brind, livelihood opportunities, nutritional status, boosting agricultural production.

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of salinity and three varieties of capsicum on their growth and yield under poly house condition at Horticulture farm, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from November, 2023 to March, 2024. The experiment consisted of four level of salinity viz., S0: 0 ds/m (control), S1: 4 ds/m, S2: 8 ds/m and S3: 12 ds/m and three capsicum varieties viz., V1: BARI Capsicum-1, V2: BARI Capscum-2 and V3: Sweet Beauty F1. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The growth and yield parameters of capsicum were significantly influenced by salinity levels while the varietal difference was not significant on most of the growth parameters except for yield parameters where significant variation among varieties was observed. Different salinity levels showed significant effects on growth and yield parameters of capsicum. Growth parameters and yield of capsicum decreased with the increase of salinity levels. The control treatment S0 (0 dS/m) gave the highest capsicum yield (294.51 g per plant and 8.84 ton/ha) followed by S1 (3 dS/m) treatment, which provided 203.08 g per plant and 6.10 ton/ha yield; whereas S3 (12 dS/m) treatment produced lowest yield (85.74 g per plant and 2.57 ton/ha). The variety Sweet Beauty F1 was found superior to BARI Capsicum-1 and BARI Capsicum-2 in case of yield parameter. Sweet Beauty F1 produced highest yield of 231.34 g per plant and 6.94 ton/ha respectively, while the lowest yield was obtained from BARI Capsicum-2 which was 161.15g per plant and 4.83 ton/ha. Treatment combination of S0 (0 ds/m) with V3 (Sweet Beauty F1) produced higher yield (374.73 g per plant and 11.24 ton/ha) followed by treatment combinations of S0 (0 ds/m) with V1 (BARI Capsicum-1) with 260.34 g per plant and 7.81 ton/ha. While the lowest yield (81.76 g per plant and 2.45 ton/ha) was obtained from treatment combinations of S3 (12 ds/m) and V2 (BARI Capsicum-2).

A field experiment was conducted at the research field of the Department of Crop Science and Technology, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi to evaluate the effect of spacing and nitrogenous fertilizer on the growth and yield attributes of cabbage. In the study, the cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) variety “BARI Badha kopi-2 (Agradut)” was cultivated during Rabi season (November 2023 to January 2024). The experiment consisted of three spacing i.e. 50cm×30cm, 50cm×40cm and 50cm×50cm as well as three levels of nitrogen fertilizers viz. 50kg/ha, 100kg/ha and 150kg/ha. The results revealed that different treatments significantly affected the growth and yield attributes of cabbage. The combination of wider spacing (50cm×50cm) with highest level of nitrogenous fertilizer (150kg/ha) produced the maximum plant height (40.57 cm), head diameter (23.83 cm), head thickness (15.89 cm), fresh head weight head (1.59 kg), yield per plot (39.92 kg) and yield (63.87 t/ha), whereas closer spacing (50cm×30cm) and lowest level of nitrogenous fertilizer (50kg/ha) required maximum days required to head formation (47.10) and head maturity (98.00). The study concluded that 50cm×50cm spacing and 150kg/ha nitrogenous fertilizer is to be needed for getting maximum yield from cabbage cultivation.
Key words: Spacing, nitrogenous fertilizer, growth and yield, cabbage.

The experiment was carried out at the research field of the Department of Crop Science and Technology, Rajshahi University, Rajshahi during the period from October, 2023 to March, 2024. The aim of this research was to evaluate the excellent combination of these two parameters, as the nutrients and moisture are two major components that drastically affect mustard production. The experiment consisted of three levels of chemical fertilizers i.e. F1 (80-20-30 kg/ha NPK), F2 (90-30-40-25-1.0 kg/ha NPKSB), F3 (100-40-50-35-1.5 kg/ha NPKSB) and the three levels of irrigations viz. I0 (no irrigation), I1 (two irrigation at 20 and 50 DAS), I2 (three irrigation at 20, 40 and 50 DAS). BARI Sarisha-14 was used as test crop of this research. The most comprehensive combined treatment F3I2 resulted in the maximum observed values of plant such as plant height (83.67 cm), number of leaves per plant (19.33), number of branches per plant (10.00), minimum days to 50% flowering (35.00), minimum days to maturity (75.00), siliqua length (5.03), number of siliqua per plant (100.33), number of seeds per siliqua (25.33), 1000 seeds weight (3.79 gm). This treatment also resulted in highest seed yield (1.59 t/ha), indicating a robust growth response. In contrast, the lowest values of all plant characters and seed yield (1.44 t/ha) except days to 50% flowering and maturity under the combined treatment F1I0. However, application of three irrigations with 100-40-50-35-1.5 kg/ha NPKSB may be practiced for achieving higher seed yield of mustard (BARI Sarisha-14) in the northern part of Bangladesh.
Key words: Chemical fertilizer, irrigation, growth and yield, mustard.
