Yellow Corn

Yellow Corn is one of the largest crop in Bangladesh after rice and wheat. The Bangladeshi yellow corn is known for its high nutritive values and therefore is the most widely used ingredient in food industries.

The prime use of Bangladeshi yellow corn is however for human consumption and animal feed. Being less in fat and high in proteins it is a good source of balanced nutritive food for animals, cattle and poultry. It is the primarily used as livestock feed, forage, silage etc.

These Yellow corn are used for various food industries and other industries .Majorly used for animal feed.These corns are widely demanded by our clients from across the world .

Some Basic Knowledge on Agricultural wards

What is Evaporation?

           Evaporation:  Evaporation may be defined to be the loss of water particles from the water bodies and soil masses under the effect temperature and wind velocity.

What is Transpiration?

           Transpiration: It may be defined that the amount of water leaves a living plant through its leaves.

What is Evapotranspiration? 

           Evapotranspiration:  It is the total water loss from a cropped of irrigated land due to the transpiration of plants during their growing period and the evaporation from the adjacent soil particles.

What is Crop-factor?

          Crop-factor:  It is the ratio of the consumptive use of water to the pan evaporation. It is different for different crops and is different of the same crop for the different places.

What is Meant by  monthly temperature?

            Monthly Temperature: The mean value of the monthly temperature for 30 years is called the mean monthly temperature.

What is Relative humidity?

        Relative humidity:  It is the ratio of the actual vapour pressure to the saturation vapour pressure at the same temperature. It gives an idea of the extent to which the air is saturated.

Day light hours

            The light of visibility in a day emitted by the sun is called the day light hours.

Mean sunshine hours

            It may be defined to be the mean of the summation of all the values of sunshine hours for the same month of several years.

Maximum possible sunshine hours

            The mean daily maximum duration of bright sunshine hours for different latitude of an area is called the maximum sunshine hours.

Potential evapotranspiration

            It may be defined as the evapotranspiration from a large vegetation covered land surface with adequate moisture at all times. In other words, it may be defined as the evapotranspiration that occurs when the ground is completely covered by actively growing vegetation and there is no limitation in the soil moisture.

Mean monthly evapotranspiration

            The mean monthly evapotranspiration means the daily evapotranspiration.

Consumptive use of water

            The product of the locally crop factor with potential evapotranspiration is called the consumptive use of water of evapotranspiration.

>Factors affecting evaporation

            The following factors affect the evaporation are:

• Air temperature
• Water temperature
• Relative humidity
• Wind velocity
• Exposed surface area
• Barometric pressure
• Salinity of the water

            Hence higher the temperature and wind velocity, greater the evaporation, while greater the humidity and dissolved salts, smaller is the evaporation.

> Factors affecting evapotranspiration

            The following factors affect the evapotranspiration are:

• Climatologically data of factors like percentage sunshine hours wind speed, mean monthly temperature, humidity, day length and normal temperature.
• Crop factor like the type of crop and the percentage growing season.
• The moisture level in the soil. 

Way on Irrigation Calculator

·         The Barindarea of Bangladesh exhibit the high value of effective rainfall. It can be concluded that as the soil characteristics and climatic parameter is the causes.

·         It can be concluded that effective rainfall is directly proportional to consumptive use and inversely proportional to the amount and intensity of rainfall.

• Amount of effective rainfall increases with the increase in the depth of irrigation water applied to the field. In case of Potential Evapotranspiration / Precipitation Ratio method, effective rainfall increases with the increase in seepage and percolation losses.

• In the Barind area of Bangladesh, the PET is maximum in the month of May-July and minimum in the month of December- January.
• Priestly-Taylor method is suitable for cold region.Net radiation method and Preistley-Taylor method are radiation based method and Hargreaves method is temperature based method.
• It can be concludes from the study that using locally determined parameter values all six empirical methods gave acceptable estimates of potential evapotranspiration. The results of the study are expected to be useful for those involved in agricultural activities in Bangladesh.
• Irrigation requirement is depends on the many factors and this factor may varies in the small area so it is needed more station for more accurate result.

Very little experimental information is available in Bangladesh, for planning purposes of irrigation projects on the basis of effective rainfall and evapotranspiration. These experimental data may be collected by setting up crop lysimeters in the field. The four methods use in this study for estimating effective rainfall and evapotranspiration was mainly developed for U.S.A.

So, these methods therefore, should be modified and improved if necessary, to suit the climatological patterns in the Barind area of Bangladesh by comparing these results with practical values. Rapid empirical methods can also be developed for different irrigated areas in the Barind area of Bangladesh.

This study has been carried out from the irrigation point of view as sugarcane and wheat crops. The same study can be carried out for other purposes, such as, flood control engineering, hydro-electrical engineering, reservoir engineering, etc. Irrigation calculator can be developed for easily estimation of the irrigation requirement for crops.

Plant breeding programs in Bangladesh

The economy of Bangladesh is largely dependent on agriculture. This sector contributed about 20% to the country’s GDP and about 84% of the total population live in rural areas and are directly or indirectly engaged in a wide range of agricultural activities. The situation and the topography of Bangladesh make it an excellent habitat for the rice plant which is therefore the most important crop of the country.

Breeding research in Bangladesh began 30 years ago. The National Agricultural Research System (NARS) is composed mainly of public educational research institutions. There are also several private firms now working in Bangladesh.

Plant breeding research focuses mainly on line development and evaluation. Rice and wheat breeding are well developed in Bangladesh and utilize mainly local germplasm. On the other hand, 100% of maize germplasm has been introduced through multilateral agreement with CIMMYT. Therefore, maize breeding is largely dependent on international cooperation and assistance.

The problem of infrastructure and limited training in biotechnology to carry out advanced breeding research are the most limiting factors for all the institutions. Thus, training of manpower on biotechnology at advanced laboratories should play a vital role for crop improvement.
