Because of Bangladesh's fertile soil and normally ample water supply, rice can be grown and harvested three times a year in many areas. [9] Due to a number of factors, Bangladesh's labour-intensive agriculture has achieved steady increases in food grain production despite the often unfavorable weather conditions. [9]
Downhill creep, also known as soil creep or commonly just creep, is a type of creep characterized by the slow, downward progression of rock and soil down a low grade slope; it can also refer to slow deformation of such materials as a result of prolonged pressure and stress.
Soil Resources Development Institute (SRDI) is a government organization under the Ministry of Agriculture working as a statutory organization that carries out research on soil and surveys on soil quality to improve agriculture in Bangladesh and is located in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
There are two primary mechanisms of stream bank erosion: fluvial erosion and mass failure. Fluvial erosion is the direct removal of soil particles by flowing water. The rate of fluvial erosion is determined both by the force of the flowing water (e.g. faster flow equals more force) and the resistance of the bank material to erosion (e.g. clay is generally more resistant to erosion than sand).
In 2015, the Bangladesh Krishi Bank incurred a loss of 1589.3 million taka. [14] The Bank worked with the Department of Agricultural Extension in Netrokona District to provide loans to Boro rice Cultivators. [15] The Moulvibazar branch of the bank was robbed of over 600 thousand taka. [16] On 23 November 2016, Muhammad Awal Khan was appointed ...
A catena in soil science is a series of distinct but co-evolving soils arrayed down a slope. [1] Each soil type or "facet" differs somewhat from its neighbours, but all occur in the same climate and on the same underlying parent material. A mature catena is in equilibrium as the processes of deposition and erosion are in balance.
In these societies agriculture was the driving force in the economy and shifting cultivation was the most common type of agriculture practiced. By examining the relationships between social and economic change and agricultural change in these societies, insights can be gained on contemporary social and economic change and global environment ...
The SAARC Agriculture Centre has now been given an enhanced mandate for supporting the member states to address common regional challenges of the food and agriculture sector by strengthening agricultural research and extension systems, knowledge management, and appropriate agricultural policies and program development.
