Field survey, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and field experiments were conducted to fulfill the objectives of the project. The survey was conducted in Jaintiapur and Golapgonj upazila of Sylhet district, Bangladesh during July 2017 to July 2018 to document the status of agroforestry as well as other climate‐smart agricultural practices. A random sampling technique was followed to select the sample farmers. Total numbers of sample farmers were 60 and 102 in Golapgonj and Jaintiapur upazila, respectively. The field experiment was conducted with thirteen treatments of six different demandable species and an agar plant in Barlekha upazila of Moulvibazar districts during February 2018 to September 2018 to examine the performance of agar plant and crops under sole and agroforestry systems following Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. In Golapgonj upazila, total 86 plant species were recorded of which 38 were timber and fruit species, 29 were vegetable species, 12 were medicinal species, and 7 were spice species. Thirty two production activities were reported in which rice, guava, vegetable, betelnut were major (>70%) production activities while betel leaf, toikor, drumstick, black pepper and apiculture were minor (<14%) production activity. 29 plant species increased in the study area in which acacia, guava, betel nut and tomato are the most. In Jaintiapur upazila, total 97 agroforest plant species were found in which 28 fruit trees, 27 vegetables, 13 timbers, 11 medicinal, 9 spices, 5 crops and 4 non‐timber species. Thirteen production activities were reported in which homestead agroforestry, livestock farming, field crop production, roadside agroforestry and citrus based agroforestry production were major (>70%) production activities while drumstick production, apiculture and agar plantation were minor (<14%) production activity in the study area. 31 plant species increased in the study area in which acacia, rain tree, rice, Jack fruit are the most. In Golapgonj upazila, 17 Climate‐smart agricultural (CSA) practices were identified. Those practices were high yielding variety (78.3%), perching (63.3%), adjusting planting time (51.6%) , mulching (46.6%), farm yard manure (46.6%), short duration varieties (46.6%), IPM (43.3%), intercropping (38.3%), crop rotation (38.3%), pheromone trap (35%), use of local pesticides (35%), improved livestock breed (25%), agroforestry (23.3%), vermicomposting (23.3% ), Sorjan (21.6%), light trap (13.3%), rice‐cum‐fish farming (10%). In Jaintiapur upazila, 19 CSA practices were identified. Those practices were perching (84%), high yielding varieties (79%), adjusting planting time (74%), farm yard manure (65%), green manuring (63%), crop rotation (57%), vermicomposting(53%), cover crop(59%), fallowing(45%), rain water harvesting(38%), alternate wetting and drying(38%), improved livestock breed(36%), community seed bed(30%), urea super granule(27%), integrated pest mangement(26%), sorjon method(25%), floating bed fodder(19%), zero tillage(18%) and raised bed planting(11%). They were categorized into six CSA pools i.e., pest smart, carbon smart, nutrient smart, water smart, weather smart and knowledge smart. However, the levels of use of climate‐smart practices were not satisfactory in both the study area. Finally, a three‐tier up‐scaling approach i.e., information‐transfer approach, entrepreneur development approach and policy inclusion approach were proposed for the dissemination of CSA practices as short, medium and long term strategy for the study sites which might be also applicable for the other areas of Sylhet region. Results revealed from the field experiment that the crops can be grown in the existing agar garden as agroforestry systems without hampering the growth and development of agar plant. Tea (Camellia sinensis) is the most suitable as associated crops with agar plant followed by ginger (Zingiber officinale), pineapple (Ananas comosus) and bilati dhonia (Eryngium foetidum) which provide the additional year round production from existing agar garden. vi CRG Sub‐Project Completion Report (PCR) A.

  • Original Research Article an Economic Analysis of Agar-Wood
    1 Original Research Article 2 3 An Economic Analysis of Agar-wood 4 Production in North-eastern Bangladesh 5 6 7 . 8 ABSTRACT 9 The present study was carried out to examine the economics of agar-wood production and assess the financial viability of agar plantations in north-eastern Bangladesh (Barlekha Upazila, Moulvibazar District). Primary data were collected through structured questionnaire administered on 30 agar farmers using purposive sampling technique during the months of September, 2017. The total cost of agar-wood production was found BDT 1450571 per acre and BDT 1612 per agar tree. The net return was BDT 1892929 per acre and BDT 2103 per agar tree, and undiscounted BCR considering total cost was 2.30. Financial viability of 1 acre of agar-wood plantations for the period of 12 years was found feasible with respect to net present value (NPV) BDT 552327, discounted benefit cost ratio (BCR) 2.07, internal rate of return (IRR) 23.7 per cent. Sensitivity analysis also suggested the viability of agar-wood production in different situations. The study revealed that agar-wood production is a highly feasible enterprise from which the farmers can enjoy economic benefits. 10 11 Keywords: Benefit cost ratio; net present value; internal rate of return; sensitivity analysis; 12 agar-wood. 13 14 1. INTRODUCTION 15 16 The agar tree (Aquilaria malaccensis) is one of 15 tree species in the Indo-Malaysian genus 17 Aquilaria of the Thymelaeaceae family [1]. It is a large evergreen tree, growing over 15-40 18 meters tall and 0.6-2.5 meters in diameter, and has white flowers [2].

Abdullah-Al-Fuad June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF HOMICIDE IN BANGLADESH: A CONTENT ANALYSIS ON REPORTS OF MURDER IN DAILY NEWSPAPERS T. M. Abdullah-Al-Fuad Reg no. 111 Session: 2011-2012 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy June 2016 Department of Sociology University of Dhaka Dhaka University Institutional Repository DEDICATION To my parents and sister Dhaka University Institutional Repository Abstract As homicide is one of the most comparable and accurate indicators for measuring violence, the aim of this study is to improve understanding of criminal violence by providing a wealth of information about where homicide occurs and what is the current nature and trend, what are the socio-demographic characteristics of homicide offender and its victim, about who is most at risk, why they are at risk, what are the relationship between victim and offender and exactly how their lives are taken from them. Additionally, homicide patterns over time shed light on regional differences, especially when looking at long-term trends. The connection between violence, security and development, within the broader context of the rule of law, is an important factor to be considered. Since its impact goes beyond the loss of human life and can create a climate of fear and uncertainty, intentional homicide (and violent crime) is a threat to the population. Homicide data can therefore play an important role in monitoring security and justice.
