Effect of Plant Growth Regulator on Flowering and Yield Attributes of Litchi
Abstract: The study was carried out at the Horticulture Research Centre (HRC) Fruit Orchard, Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Jamalpur, Bangladesh, during 2024–2025 to assess the influence of Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) (GA3) on flowering and yield attributes of litchi. The age of Litchi plants were 14–15 years old. The treatments are T1 = GA3 @ 50 mg/L on panicle before flower opening, T2 = GA3 @ 50 mg/L at 15 …

A Sensor-Based Soil Monitoring System for Better Crop Harvesting
Abstract: Crop productivity is strongly affected by soil health, environmental conditions, and the availability of timely and accurate monitoring data. Traditional soil testing and crop assessment methods are labor-intensive and time-consuming. They also lack real-time capabilities, which limits efficient agricultural decision-making. This paper proposes an IoT-enabled smart soil monitoring and crop management system that provides real-time analysis of important soil and environmental parameters to improve agricultural productivity. The proposed system uses …

Biotechnological Advances in Improving Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Jute (Corchorus spp.): Genomic and Functional Insights
Abstract: Jute (Corchoruscapsularis and C. olitorius) is an economically significant natural bast fiber crop, particularly in Bangladesh and South Asia that faces severe constraints from salinity and waterlogging due to climate change and coastal inundation. Despite its agricultural importance, jute has historically lacked genomic resources for molecular improvement. Recent release of high‑quality reference genomes, coupled with transcriptomics and functional genomics, has enabled identification of stress‑responsive genes and regulatory networks. This review …
