Study Design: The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block (RCB) design with the two replications in each location.
Place of the Study: The study was conducted in ten different agroecological environments across the country, namely Bogura, Jashore, Munshiganj, Gazipur, Patuakhali, Faridpur, Debiganj, Madaripur, Thakurgaon and Rangpur district of Bangladesh during November 2020 to March 2021.
Methodology: Sixty-two released potato varieties and exotic materials were used as planting materials for the experiment. Whole seed tubers of 28–40 mm were planted in the last week of November with a spacing of 60 cm between the rows and 20 cm between the plants. The crops
were harvested at full maturity during March. Tuber yield was determined by adding the weights of marketable and unmarketable tubers from the net plot area and converting them to tons per hectare. After that, the tubers were graded in different grades and the dry matter of the potato was analyzed.
Results: Considering the results, the location Rangpur, Thakurgaon, Debiganj, and Bogura are the most suitable place for export variety cultivation in Bangladesh. The potato variety and genotypes 13.7, BARI Alu-12, BARI Alu-61, BARI Alu-68, BARI Alu-73, and Innovator were found promising for export for their yield, tuber size, and dry matter content.
Conclusion: The variety having good yield, bigger size and high dry matter could be selected for export from Bangladesh and the better-performed regions can be utilized for export quality potato production in Bangladesh.

Results indicated significant variation among the varieties. Based on the results of the 1st year multi-location trial, seven superior ones were selected for further testing in AYT and RYT in next two years. In the SYT, varieties Farida and 7four7 were the highest yielders. In the AYT, the highest average yield over location was also produced by 7four7 (38.70 t/ha). Varieties Cimega and Memphis also gave comparable yields to that of 7four7 (37.33 and 36.67 t/ha, respectively). Considering the yield of the three generations, the above four varieties were significantly better than the checks. Considering the specific qualities, Farida was found most suitable for table purpose because of its high yield, medium-sized oval and smooth tubers with good eating quality. The variety Taisiya produced tubers with good size and shape, but low in dry matter content; so not suitable for processing. Memphis might be selected for French fry as it produces maximum large sized tubers with good long oval shape. On the other hand, variety Panamera is a high yielder but its plant type was undesirable. On the whole, varieties Cimega, 7four7 and Farida are suitable for table purpose, and Memphis may be selected for French fry under Bangladesh condition. None was found quite suitable for Chips preparation.

On the other hand, the processing sector mandated some stringent standards in order to maintain product quality, hence potato quality evaluations are required for chip processing industries. Specific gravity, starch, reducing sugars, tuber dry matter, and chip color are all important characteristics to consider for processing. This study was designed to find suitable potato varieties with satisfactory attributes for processing chips, in comparison with other processing potato varieties. Keeping this in mind, the study was performed during the winter season of 2019–2020 and 2020–2021 in Bangladesh. Six processing types of potato varieties viz. BARI Alu-25 (Asterix), BARI Alu-28 (Lady Rosetta), BARI Alu-29 (Courage), BARI Alu-68 (Atlantic), BARI Alu-70 (Destiny), and BARI Alu-71 (Dolly) were evaluated for different quality parameters (specific gravity, dry matter, starch content, reducing sugar, chip color, and crispiness). The result of the study showed an ample variation in the studied parameters among the potato varieties. Among the varieties, BARI Alu-28 (Lady Rosetta) and BARI Alu-29 (Courage) were found better for all the quality parameters, such as dry matter, starch, reducing sugar, chip color, and crispiness, and could be recommended for the processing industries.

It is an essential component of the diet in many developing countries as it supplies vitamins and minerals and the demand is increasing day by day. In Bangladesh, mango ranks the first position in annual production with an average yield of 82 kg per acre. This amount is not high when compared to other mango producing countries in the world due to different pest attacks and diseases. This review was carried out to investigate the different pre- and post-harvest treatment methods used in controlling anthracnose disease with their efficiencies. Anthracnose disease, caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is one of the most important diseases of Mango in humid areas and also in Bangladesh. About 25 to 30% losses of total mango production have been reported due to anthracnose and stem-end rot which can spread with raindrops. Several pre-harvest and post-harvest management approaches have been used to control this anthracnose disease of mango fruits including
chemical treatments.

Single crop production systems are vulnerable to different risks and uncertainties such as seasonal, irregular and uncertainty in income and employment to the farmers which have demanded the development of a suitable integrated farming systems. This review was conducted to investigate the present status of integrated aquafarming in Bangladesh with the strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats (SWOT) of integrated aquafarming. The investigation reveals that the integrated aquafarming has gained much popularity in Bangladesh as one of the most important eco-friendly and sustainable agricultural food production system due to its multidisciplinary outcomes. Different types of integrations are being practiced in Bangladesh such as Rice-Fish culture system, poultry-fish culture system, duck-fish culture system, rice-poultry-fish culture system and others. All of these integrated farming systems have some potentials, some drawbacks, and some constraints which are very important to be identified for the later steps in planning to achieve the objectives of new integration technology. SWOT analysis explores the strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats of any technology which helps the decision-makers to identify if the objectives are attainable or not. Although the Integrated aquafarming system possess great potential for using the land and water resources of Bangladesh but still its potentiality has not been fully explored in our country. This review also focuses on the socioeconomic potential of Integrated Aquafarming and the factors affecting the widespread dispersion of integrated aquafarming emphasizing SWOT analysis.
