It promises to ameliorate nutritional demand from vegetables and has an excellent possibility for the world market. But the production is hampered due to infection of several diseases in field conditions. Research method: This study was undertaken based on secondary data of existing literature from Bangladesh and other parts of the world. So far, many research works were done on this issue but those were not available to the policy makers, extension workers, and public in a systematic manner to date. Findings: In this paper, we tried to bring forth different aspects of phytopathological problems of country bean. It usually undergoes stresses from different soilborne to seed-borne pathogens and expresses symptoms from the seedling stage to maturity. Crop protection largely depends on the integration of host plan...

For example, the agrarian sectors like agriculture, fisheries, and livestock are vital aspects of food systems directly affected by COVID-19. This review paper summarizes COVID-19 and its effects on the agricultural sectors. The COVID-19 affects the profit of agriculture, livestock, and fisheries and has opened up inequalities within the food chain. As a result, the epidemic has shown that our food chain is fragile. Since the worldwide population and urbanization will be raised in the coming decades, epidemics will occur more often. To that end, we have highlighted the need to ensure contingency plans and mitigation strategies about agricultural systems which would make more sustainable and resilient.

It is widely consumed by most of the rural people, and it is the national fruit of Bangladesh. The main aim of this review is to document the medicinal significance of jackfruit, major parts and uses of the jackfruit in Bangladesh. This article was based on mostly a literature review. All parts of the fruit and plant are used as human food, animal feed, and wood source for furniture. Although jackfruit is the main fruit of the tree, it is used as furniture for its beautiful texture and wood color. Jackfruit contains anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-helminthic properties. The fruit is rich in carbohydrates, minerals, carboxylic acids, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The seed is rich in manganese, magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, and lectins and thus meets up nutritional requirements for the rural people. The present study attempted to ...
