This presentation discusses the relation between biotechnology and the Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation (BADC). BADC utilizes several biotechnological approaches in its operations, including vermicomposting, biogas plants, biodiversity conservation through cultivating various crops and animals, and mass selection techniques. These approaches allow BADC to produce higher crop yields in an eco-friendly and sustainable manner. The presentation concludes that biotechnology is important for BADC's activities as it allows leveraging of natural processes to meet agricultural needs.

2. Biotechnology
Biotechnology means Technology based on Biology

3. Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation
An autonomous
government body
It’s Origin is
East Pakistan Agricultural
Development Corporation
Changed to Bangladesh
Agricultural Development
Corporation after the
independence of Bangladesh
Established in 1961

4. Mission & Vision Of BADC
Manage & supply Agricultural
seed
Non-nitrogen fertilizer
Irrigation Technology Utilization of ground water

5. Relation Between Biotechnology & BADC
BADC utilizes
Biotechnological approaches
Vermicomposting
Biogas Plant Biodiversity
Mass selection

6. Vermicomposting
 Simple biotechnological process of composting
 Earthworms are used to enhance the process of waste conversion
and produce a better product
 Fertilizer are eco-friendly, safe, non-hazardous
 BADC utilizes these fertilizer for producing higher yield of crops

7. Biodiversity
BADC cultivate many types of vegetative
crops such as gourd, Tomatillo, Pigeon pea,
soybean, sunflower etc.
They able to cultivate BRRI-73 rice
They also cultivate different
animals

8. Biogas Plant
 Mixture of different gases produced by organic matter
 Uses cow dung and different wastes for biogas production
 Produce energy and can use in heating, electricity etc.

9. Mass Selection
 Larger number of plants are there
with same phenotype
Selected seeds of plants are
harvested
 New verities can be formed
 BADC carryout mass selection
technique
These are based on biotechnological
approaches

10. Tools Used In BADC
Seed Storage Chamber
Stores seed for longtime
Moisture Meter
Measuring the moisture
of the seeds

11. Vacuum Scale
Tools Used In BADC
Measuring Cylinder Seed Divider

12. Conclusion
 BADC perform most of their activities by utilizing biotechnological
approaches
 Biotechnology gains its importance by the ability to leverage nature’s
own processes to fill specific needs for humans, animals, and the health of
the planet.
