The experimental field belongs to medium high land with sandy loam soil in texture. The experiment was laid out in RCBD design with three replications. Twenty-five genotypes were evaluated for their performances. Thirty days old seedlings were transplanted maintaining of 60 cm × 50 cm spacing in each case. The crop (Green chilli) was started to harvest from February and completed on May, 2019. The results of the experiment revealed that PP-13 (68.67) needs more time to flower whereas Premium (21.67) takes short time for flowering. Crop duration was recorded highest in PP-15 (188.67) and lowest in PP-8(171.00). Among the genotypes PP-4 was recorded the highest fruit weight(18.61), fruit length(17.25), fruit diameter(1.90) but emerged the lowest number of fruits,(46.21) while PP-9 emerged as superior in terms of maximum number of fruits/plant (300.65) and highest green fruit yield (22.42 ton/acre). So, PP-09 is the best under this agro climatic condition with respect to yield and its associate characters.

The experiment was RCBD with three replications having plot size 15 m 2. Uniform cultural practices were adopted for all treatments. Assessment of quality traits was made after harvest of the crop at 95 DAPs. Data were recorded for processing quality viz. specific gravity, dry matter, sugars and nutritional traits i.e. starch, protein and ash content. The significant differences in all the quality parameters were observed among the genotypes. The highest specific gravity was found in Lady Rossetta (1.081) while Almera had the lowest specific gravity (1.042). The highest dry matter was found in Courage (22.65%) while BARI Original Research Article Akter et al.; AJRIB, 3(4): 1-7, 2020; Article no.AJRIB.55508 2 Alu-41 had the lowest dry matter (16.41%).Maximum starch was observed in Destiny (14.01%) while it was minimum in Granola (9.34%). Reducing sugars ranged from 0.51% in BARI Alu 36 to 0.123% in Omega. Protein value was found to be the highest (3.21%) in Bari Alu 56 whereas the minimum value was recorded in BARI Alu 38 (Omega) 0.67% and ash content was highest in Diamant (1.61%) whereas the lowest was in BARI Alu-37(0.53%).

The study was carried out in three northern district of Bangladesh viz. Dinajpur, Thakurgaon and Panchagarh. Three hundred farmers were randomly selected for data collection from twenty villages under the upazilla namely, Birgang, Dinajpur Sadar, Thakurgaon Sadar, Debiganj and Panchagarh Sadar. A pre-tested interview schedule was used to collect the data from the respondents. For measuring the perception, eight climate smart potato varieties viz. BARI Alu-41 (heat tolerant), BARI Alu-46 (late blight resistant), BARI Alu-53 (late blight resistant), BARI Alu-72 (heat and salt tolerant), BARI Alu-73 (heat and salt tolerant), BARI Alu-77 (late blight resistant), BARI Alu-90 (late blight resistant), and BARI Alu-91 (late blight resistant)were considered in this study. Descriptive statistical measures such as frequencies, percentage distributions, ranges, means, standard deviations and coefficient of variations were used in describing the variables. The results revealed that most of the farmers (72.3%) had very low perception whereas only 7.0% of the farmers had high perception to climate smart potato varieties taken in this study. So, it is expected that the proper awareness program and planning should be taken in order to increase farmer‟s perception to climate smart potato varieties.

The experiment was two factors RCBD where Factor A (four Agroforestry systems) and Factor B (two ginger varieties). Factor A (Agroforestry system) were-T 1 =under Ghoraneem, T 2 = under Litchi, T 3 = under Mango and T 4 = Open field (control). Again, factor B (variety) were-V 1 = Deshiand V 2 = China. Therefore, the treatment combinations were. The experiment results revealed that the growth and quality Original Research Article Hossain et al.; APRJ, 3(3-4): 1-10, 2019; Article no.APRJ.55663 2 of ginger were significantly varied by the main effect of different Agroforestry systems. The highest germination speed, plant height was higher under Ghoraneem (T1) but thehighest fresh rhizome weight (21600 kg/ha) was found under Mango based System (T 3), whereas the highest dry rhizome weight (20%) was found under Open field condition (T 4). The main effect of varieties on growth and quality of ginger were significantly varied. Germination speed, plant height, fresh rhizome weight was higher in deshi ginger (V 1) but highest dry rhizome weight was found in china ginger (V 2). The interaction effect of Agroforestry systems and ginger varieties was also significant. The highest germination found in T 1 V 1 .Again, the tallest plant was recorded in T 1 V 2 .The highest fresh rhizome weight (20865 kg/ha) was found in T3V1 but the highest dry rhizome weight was found inT 4 V 1 (21.25 %). The relationship between light intensity and fresh ginger rhizome yield was inversely proportional. The highest ginger rhizome yield (21600 kg/ha) was found when the total light intensity was 115.50 LUX under Mango (T 1) and the lowest ginger rhizome yield(18366 kg/ha) was when the total light intensity was 321.50 LUX in open field (T 4).

The mango fruits were bagged at marble stage (45 days after fruit set) with various treatments viz: T 0 : No bagging (control), T 1 : Brown paper double-layered bag (BPB); T 2 : White paper single-layered bag (WPB); T 3 : Perforated polythene bag (PB) and T 4 : White cloth bag (WCB). In physical parameters, brown and white paper bag recorded the maximum fruit weight (169.10 g and 147.6 g), fruit length (8.57 and 8.33 cm), fruit diameter (5.63 and 5.87 cm) and pulp weight (124.47 g and 105.60 g) respectively, while minimum result was found in the other treatments and control. Meanwhile, in bagging fruits, chemical parameters of total soluble solids, Original Research Article Akter et al.; AJAHR, 5(3): 45-54, 2020; Article no.AJAHR.55617 46 ascorbic acid, percent of citric acid, reducing sugars and β-carotene were increased over control. Brown paper bag changed fruit color. The sensory qualities in fruits of brown and white paper bags were improved over control. Fruit retention was significantly improved by pre-harvest fruit bagging with a brown paper bag (95.90%), white paper bag (95.50%), and control (90.00%) over polythene bag (80.00%). Fruits with brown paper bags showed shelf life up to 18 days with good physical quality and the lowest weight loss against 15 days of control fruits. The sensory attributes were better in fruits of brown, white paper and white cloth bags over control. Bagging at marble stage also reduced the occurrence of spongy tissue and the incidence of mealy bugs. These results indicate that fruit bagging can improve the quality and the shelf life of mango cv. Amrapali through the reduction of disease and insect-pest attack.
