    Australian Journal of Science and Technology ISSN Number (2208-6404) Volume 2; Issue 1; March 2018 Original Article Ethnoveterinary knowledge and practices at Tanore Upazila of Rajshahi District, Bangladesh Md. Touhidul Islam, A. H. M. Mahbubur Rahman* Department of Botany, Plant Taxonomy Laboratory, Faculty of Life and Earth Sciences, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi, Bangladesh ABSTRACT This study reports the surveyed list of medicinal plants used by Santal tribes of Tanore, Rajshahi in ethnoveterinary practices. During the study, interviews were conducted with the help of a semi-structured questionnaire and the guided field walks method. The ethnoveterinary plants traditionally used by Santal tribes were collected and preserved as herbarium specimens by following the standard methods. The identification of plants was further authenticated with the Herbarium, Department of Botany, Rajshahi University, Bangladesh. In this study, a total of 23 plant species under 22 genera and 17 families have been identified as the potential source for treating 14 types of ailments. The objective of the present study was to conduct ethnoveterinary surveys at Tanore Upazila of Rajshahi, Bangladesh. The various ailments treated by the Santals included weakness, low lactation, intestinal problem, diarrhea, stomach trouble, burn, dry cough, chronic ulcerous wounds, disinclination, sickness, constipation, asthmatic problem, urinate trouble of calf and dysentery. Moreover, proper documentation of ethnoveterinary practices leading to further scientific research can also become an important source for discovery of newer and more efficacious drugs. Keywords: Medicinal plants, ethnoveterinary uses, Santals, Rajshahi, Bangladesh Submitted: 11-12-2017 Accepted: 10-01-2018 Published: 29-03-2018 documentation [17]. There have been many ethnoveterinary INTRODUCTION surveys from around the world regarding the use of plants in therapeutic protocols.[2,7,8,11,12,15,16,23-26] Nature is provided with a lot of herbal medicinal plants which play a major part in the treatment of diseases.

Edward College, Pabna, Bangladesh 2Assistant Professor, Department of Physics, Pabna University of Science & Technology, Bangladesh 3 Lecturer, Department of Applied Physics & Electronic Engineering, University of Rajshahi, Bangladesh Abstract: Groundwater is an important segment of the hydrologic cycle and constitutes about one third of world’s fresh water reserves. It has distinct advantages over surface water resources. It is the most dependable resource and is available almost everywhere on land phases. It is hard to overstate the importance of groundwater in the life and economy of Bangladesh. Groundwater supplies over 90% of drinking water requirements and the vast majority of irrigation water. It is the only source of water supply for drinking and main source of irrigation in the area studied. The increased demands due to over population and development activities have stimulated investigations oriented towards quantifications of this resource. The large scale abstraction of groundwater for irrigation, without proper planning and management, has caused much environmental degradation. So, a detailed study is now essential for the conservation of this important resource in the specific area. Proper utilization of groundwater greatly precedes the analysis of static water levels in various extents of this inexhaustible resource. The increasing demand placed on it has stimulated to identify of this resource, which would be the basic of its exploration, management and conservation.

Physical feature and socio-historical background Kushtia is not an ancient township but one of the eighteen oldest districts in independent Bangladesh. There is no much evidence to know the ancient history of Kushtia. The only tool to be informed about the district what was portrayed through description by different persons based on different regimes in the region governed. Hamilton's Gazetteer has mentioned of Kushtia town and of the fact that the local people called the town Kushtay (Kushte). In Tolemy's map, several little islands have been portrayed under the Ganges basin. These islands are considered as ancient Kushtia. 1 The district was under Natore Zemindar in 1725. Then it was under Rajshahi civil administration of Kanadarnagar Pargana. 2 Later East India Company transferred Kushtia under Jessore district in 1776. It was brought under Pabna district in 1828. Then Mahkuma Administration was established under Kushtia in 1861 and then brought under Nadia district.3 During the British rule, railway connection with Kolkata, capital of British India, established in 1860, made the town an alluring location for mills and factories, including the Jagneshwar Engineering Works (1896), Renwick and Company ( 1904 ), and the Mohini Mills (1919).

  • Farmers' Technology, Economic Performance and Relative Economic Efficiency of Country Bean Growers

    Farmers' Technology, Economic Performance and Relative Economic Efficiency of Country Bean Growers

    Bangladesh J. Agric. Econs. XX, 1(1997): 85-96 Research Note FARMERS' TECHNOLOGY, ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE AND RELATIVE ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF COUNTRY BEAN GROWERS S.M. Fakhrul Islam Md. Rezaul Karim ABSTRACT This paper examined farmers' country bean production technology and proposed an econometric model for estimating the normalized profit distribution function using a Three Staged Generalized Method of Moment procedure. The advantage of the model is that it used Cobb-Douglas form of profit function which is linear in logarithm. The second moment function of profit can be used for measuring risk involved in input use under uncertainty. Furthermore, the results could be used for testing relative economic efficiency of growers'. The empirical data on country bean production validated the model. The result showed that fertilizers and pesticides were risk increasing inputs in country bean production. The small farmers were found to be more efficient. The study concludes that under uncertain environmental condition, relative economic efficiency can be assessed through estimation of normalized profit distribution function. I. INTRODUCTION Country bean (Dalichos lablab) is an indigenous vegetable of Indo-Bangladesh region. The plant is long trailing and branched. It is treated as a perennial crop at some places. It is a very important vegetable of Bangladesh and India. In terms of dry matter, calorie, protein, fat, vitamin A and B, the pods are superior to most other vegetables of creeping nature. Nutritionally, the seed is also nearly at the top of the pulse's list. Country bean is very rich in carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. In the past years, it was a homestead vegetable in Bangladesh but recently it is cultivated commercially as field crop in flood free high land.

Images of bands 1 - 5 and 7 of Landsat 4 - 5 TM and Landsat 7 ETM+ imagery recorded in years 2001, 2005 and 2009 are classified using unsupervised classification with the technique of image segmentation. It is found that during the eight year period, paddy area increased from 30% to 37%, followed by the increase in the homestead (55% to 57%) and urban area (1% to 3%). These changes occurred at the expense of the decrease in forest land cover (14% to 3%). In the category of homestead, the presence of different kinds of vegetation often makes it difficult to separate the category from paddy field, though paddy exhibits accuracy of 93.70% - 99.95%, which is better than the values for other categories.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 ABSTRACT Rural development programmes are normally regarded as necessary for alleviating mass rural poverty in the Developing World, but to be successful they must reach small farmers and the landless. The available evidence suggests that major rural development programme instituted by the Bangladesh Government in the 1960s, the Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP), has failed to assist the poorer sections of the rural community to any great extent. Although recently re-designed to provide better access to its services for small farmers and the landless, it will be argued that the main reason for its continuing failure to meet their needs arises from their variable access to land and other private resources which to-gether limit the advantages to be acquired from the goods and services provided under the IRDP.
