This document summarizes the agricultural revolution in Bangladesh, focusing on the production of rice, vegetables, and fruits. It describes how the introduction of high-yielding varieties, fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation, and modern machinery led to major increases in food production. For rice, production increased from 10.59 million tons in 1971 to 25 million tons currently to feed the country's growing population. New drought-tolerant and flood-tolerant rice varieties have been introduced. Vegetable production has also increased substantially through the development of new varieties by agricultural researchers. While fruit production is still underdeveloped, genetically modified fruits like lychee, tomatoes, apples, and strawberries are being experimented with in Bangladesh. The agricultural revolution has boosted

Popularization of Sanate Bread Wheat Variety in the Highlands of Guji Zone, S...AI Publications
In Ethiopia wheat is the national strategic crop to solve food insecurity. Highland districts of Guji zone were potential producers of bread wheat varieties. The production of bread wheat on large area is limited by occurrence of rust and lack of improved bread wheat varieties. But the demand and supply of wheat is imbalance in the area. Farmers were demanding improved and rust tolerant bread wheat varieties. Sanate variety was tested on small area on few experimental farmers. The variety was recommended for the wheat production in the areas. Therefore, it is necessary to disseminate Sanate variety in highlands areas of Guji zone. The objectives of the study were to popularize Sanate variety, to evaluate yield and profitability of Sanate production, capacitate farmers on bread wheat production and linkage among key stakeholders. Four districts were selected based on wheat production potential. Farmers were selected based their interest to grow Sanate variety and ownership of land. 57.72 quintals of improved Sanate variety was distributed for four districts, 12 kebeles and 156 farmers were participated during 2018/2019 and 2019/2020 production seasons. 39 ha of land were covered by Sanate variety. The seed was sown 20 cm between rows and drilling of 148 kg/ha seed rate in the rows. 121kg/ha of NPS fertilizer was applied at planting time. Hand weeding and 2-4-D was used to control weed. Yield data, costs of production, income from Sanate production and farmers’ feedback were collected and analysed by descriptive statistics, qualitative and cost benefit analysis. Training, exchange visit and field day were used for the popularization of Sanate. 539 participants were capacitated on Sanate production. 32.23 qt/ha was obtained from pre scaling up of Sanate. The cost benefit analysis shows that Sanate variety was profitable with 27,966.5 ETB/ha. Even though, Sanate gave high yield and profit at the study areas the variety was not highly demanded on the market due to its dark color. However, it was used for household consumption. The variety was also affected by rust at some farmers field. Therefore, the production of Sanate should be done with the support of fungicide in the highlands of Guji zone.
Normally country bean is grown in Bangladesh in the winter season. But due to market glut situation the farmers do not get much profit by selling these beans during this season. Therefore, BRAC scientists have developed few varieties of heat tolerant country bean which can be grown in the summer season through the utilization of hybridization technique. By growing these beans in the off season the growers are now getting much more profit. Now by cultivating these off season type beans and seasonal type beans this nutritious vegetable is becoming available round the year in Bangladesh for the customers. #Suggested my you tube video link on summer tomato cultivation in Dinajpur district :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_UydD6LGO8&t=14s
Agricultural inputs, plant protection, electricity and dieselAjit Majumder
Agricultural inputs are the requirements to carry out the agricultural activity like fertilizers, pesticides, machineries, land, ideas, knowledge, ect.
Pesticides are the most important agricultural input required post and pre harvest in the agriculture.
Chemical Control are;- pesticides, fungicide: Chemical control consist of spraying and dusting the plant by chemicals and poisons or mixing these into soil to kill pests and diseases which inhibit the soil pest and diseases which inhibit the soil. The most used chemicals s, weedicides, rodenticides, and fumigants.

The most used chemicals s, weedicides, rodenticides, and fumigants.
Electricity is one of the most indispensable agricultural input in modern agricultural practices.
The use of electricity in developed countries have reached to such a position where in India electricity use in farm base activities is still to reach recognizable dimension.
Use of electricity can supplement to the present agricultural labor crisis as many manual works can be performed by use of electricity power.
Plowing of field, pumping of water, threshing, spraying of pesticides, spraying of fertilizers and many more work can be done by use of electricity.
Minor crops are not available in all the time. These crops are less in number. Minor crops are basically cultivated in fewer amounts and it is cultivated in certain period of time. The study was conducted in two villages, one was from Tarash Upazila under Sirajgonj District and another was from Rajbari Sadar Upazila under Rajbari District. This study was conducted on the period of two month staring from June to July, 2013.The sample size was 30 (15 from each area).There are some minor crops in those two areas. Those minor crops are Barly, Jab, motor, Cheena, kaon, khesari, Til, Groundnut, Mashkalai, Soyabean. In the past those minor crops were cultivate in large amount. At present the numbers of minor crops are decreasing. There are some reasons of decreasing minor crops at present. The demands of minor crops are decreasing. The seeds are not available. These minor crops are not profitable. There are some special used of minor crops. For example; Oil can be made from Soyabean and it is used to cook food. Kaon can be used to make one kind of Bengali sweet which is called khir or payes. The traditional cultivation tools are used to cultivate minor crops. For example; cow is used to plow the land. There is less use of modern cultivation tools. There are some problems of minor crops. It takes long time to cultivate minor crops. There are some diseases of minor crops which can destroy the production of minor crops. These minor crops are not profitable. From our study we got that people should be aware to avoid the problems of minor crops.
Agriculture is the backbone of the economy of Bangladesh and very recent successful operation of regular sustainable commercial vegetable cultivation of its horticulture division has given a new dimension to the Agriculture Sector in strengthening economy of this country. Considering the importance of horticultural crops in shaping the country’s socio-economic as well as cultural status, poverty eradication and ensuring nutritional security BRAC intervened into this horticultural sector of Bangladesh and started its vegetable seed distribution program to its beneficiaries after independence during the year 1972 to engage more people particularly the women into this vital sector. Gradually BRAC started vegetable seed production program and to provide support to the vegetable sector BRAC launched its variety development program in its own research and development center BARDC (BRAC Agricultural Research & Development Centre). Along with other advantages which favours seed trading, since vegetable seed business is a round the year trade and the high priced vegetable seed usually occupy relatively smaller area during storage it also facilitate seed industry development in the country and BRAC also gave importance to the vegetable sector to involve itself in the seed business. As an NGO, undeniably it may be argued that it is quite ridiculous that BRAC has established a research section for the improvement of horticultural crops but it is interesting to note that through this research activities BRAC has played a very vital role not only in producing best quality vegetable seed within the country but also played a significant role in promoting and popularizing vegetable cultivation in Bangladesh. Besides absorbing a good no. of agriculturalists, botanists and other skilled persons in its agriculture sector every year BRAC is also helping to control the unemployment problem of Bangladesh as well.

The official concern for food productivity stagnation calls for a Second Green Revolution involving new hybrid rice and transgenic rice varieties. However, traditional rice landraces prove to be fine tuned to local soil and climatic conditions. Traditional farmer landraces can yield significantly greater in marginal environmental conditions than any modern hybrid variety. Traditional agoecological knowledge and farmer innovations are the best bet to address the food security issue.

Information about Rice:
Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) known as one of the significant cereal grain in the world which is served as the main food in Asia, Africa, China, India, and many more countries. Rice is identified as the main food it brings culture, true life, and tradition. Rice has its specific history along with religious significance in the life of a human being. Among those countries, India is the world’s biggest producer of white rice.
Oryza Sativa is a type of perennial grass in a grass family which originated in Thailand, Southern China, and India. Nowadays it is cultivated in warm temperature, wet topical, and semi-tropical areas. Rice is produced on an expected 3% of the world’s cultivated land, and aidslikethemainr of calories for above half the global population. The term ‘wild rice’ can refer to any of a non-cultivated or lesser category of Oryza, though is basically used to denote North American types in the species Zizania.
Oryza Sativa is basically an annual grass which has some variations of perennial. This plants usually grow in a clump or tuft of upright stems fit for 2 meters or taller and have flat leaf edges. The flower grows on a panel or in terminal panicles which are known as branched clusters. The rectanglespikelet contains a single flower which isthinbeside the stem before forming thickbunches. The picked kernel, recognized as a rice paddy and is enclosed in a shellwhich is removed through milling.
According to a report it has been found that an entire area under rice agriculture internationally is projected to be 150,000,000 ha byyearly production be around 500 million metric tons. Nowfact,ricesignifies 29 % of the wholeproduction of grain crops internationally. International rice supplies are expected to grow 1.3% to 633 million tons (Forrest Laws, 2018). Another data have shown the major rice shipping countries global in 2017 or 2018, calculated in 1,000 metric tons. From February 2018, rice trade of India was expected to volume to a number of 12.5 million metric tons (Statista, 2018).
Rice delivers 21% human energy plus 15% of protein. Though rice protein positions high in nutritious quality between protein and cereals are modest. It also offers fiber, minerals, and vitamins while every constituent excluding carbohydrates is minimized in the time of milling. The global normal feeding of rice in the year 1999 was 58 kg and in Myanmar the highest yearly consumption at 211 kg/person.
Rice is similarly the maximum significant crop to billions of farmers who cultivate it on billions of hectares through the area, and to the various landless labors who getprofits from operating on these farms. One day, it will bevital that the production of riceendureraisingat any rate as quickly as the populace, if not quicker.

3. Introduction…
Revolutionary changes occurred in agriculture in order to make a massive
production. It has been effected not only in Bangladesh but also in many
other countries where food production is not enough with the size of
population.
A large increase in food production in Developed and Developing countries
achieved by using modern agricultural techniques.
Revolution can be divided into four different stages
Scientific Breakthrough
Technological Breakthrough
Production Breakthrough
Agricultural Breakthrough
4. Why revolution happened?
High yielding Variety (HYV) of seeds
Seeds with superior genetics
Chemical Fertilizers and pesticides
Multiple Cropping system
Irrigation Facility
Modern Agricultural Machinery
Agricultural Research
New Technologies
Marketing Facilities
Price Incentive
Expansion of farming areas
5. Increase in production was made by different ways:
Introduction of new varieties of seeds.
Improvement in per acre yield through quality fertilizers .
Pesticides and insecticides have reduced the time required to
disinfect the crop.
Irrigation has made double cropping effective.
Innovation of new methods to rotate crops has increased land
productivity.
Technological developments were made in the field of
mechanization.
Water resource utilization.
Excess supply of inputs such as fertilizers, chemicals and
machinery.
The government made facilitating policies pertaining to easy and
cheap availability of inputs and prices stability of outputs etc.
This agriculture produce directly and indirectly benefited the small
as well as large-scale farmers .
6. Revolution of Paddy Production
The dominant food crop of Bangladesh is rice, accounting for about 75 percent of agricultural land. Rice is
the staple food of about 135 million people of Bangladesh.
In the mid-1980s, Bangladesh was the fourth largest rice producer in the world. It is currently the world's
sixth-largest producer. Rice is grown on about 10.5 million hectares which has remained almost stable over
the past three decades.
Total rice production in Bangladesh was about 10.59 million tons in the year 1971 when the country's
population was only about 70.88 millions. However, the country is now producing about 25.0 million tons to
feed her 135 million people. This indicates that the growth of rice production was much faster than the
growth of population. This increased rice production has been possible largely due to adoption of modern
rice varieties on around 66% of the rice land which contributes to about 73% of the country's total rice
production.
7. Why revolution happened?
Introduction of new high yield varieties:
The agricultural scientists of the country have made a major breakthrough in developing two other
types of High Yielding Variety (HYV) rice, which are especially suited to fight famine-like situation called
monga in some northern districts of the country. These varieties of rice called BR-11 dhan-33 and BINA
dhan-7 mature in less than four months, 115 days to be exact, and thus can be harvested one month
ahead of the customary aman crop of the HYV group, namely the BR-11, which the framers have been
growing since long.
Introduction of abiotic stress tolerant varieties:
Due to abiotic stresses like flood, drought, salinity tolerant varieties paddy production increased. These
varieties of rice are :-
Flood tolerant varieties such as BRRI dhan-51, 52 were introduced in 2010 and BINA dhan 11, 12 were
introduced in 2014 .
Drought tolerant variety BRRI dhan-56 was introduced in 2011.
Salinity tolerant varieties such as BRRI dhan-47,53,54,55,61,65,67,73 were introduced between
(2007-2015) and BINA dhan 8,10 were introduced in 2010 and 2012 respectively.
Introduction of disease resistant varieties.
Introduction of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Introduction of modern machineries such as planker, cultivator, rotavator etc and technologies.
Increased irrigation facilities.
8. The cultivation of rice in Bangladesh varies according to seasonal changes in the water
supply. The largest harvest is aman, occurring in November and December and
accounting for more than half of annual production. The second harvest is aus,
involving traditional strains but more often including high-yielding, dwarf varieties.
Rice for the aus harvest is sown in March or April, benefits from April and May rains,
matures during in the summer rain, and is harvested during the summer. The
production of this boro rice, including high-yield varieties, expanded rapidly until the
mid-1980s.
9. Revolution of Vegetables Production
Bangladesh is going to achieve new record in the production
of vegetables. Over the last year, the target of producing
vegetables in 5.88 lakh hectares of land has been set in Rabi
season. It is expected that by breaking all records of the past,
the country will produce the largest vegetables in the
country.
60 types and 200 varieties of vegetables are being produced
in the country. 90 percent of these vegetables are produced
in the country. 40 percent of vegetables are being wasted
every year from production to consumer. Therefore, the
European Union has advised to take measures and steps to
protect vegetables and increase exports.
It is learned that four types of Bt brinjal have been released
in the country. These are: Four varieties of Bari Bt brinjal 1-
Uttara, Bari Bt brinjal-2, Kajla, Bari Bt brinjal-3, Nayantara and
Bari-Bt brinjal 4 are released for cultivation at the peasant
level.
10. Ginger-free vegetables are being cultivated. The procedure is not very difficult or
costly.
The amount of potato production is 96 lakh tonnes.
Scientists of the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute have invented several
varieties of summer tomato, lau, and karasaha.
According to the Seed Wing of Agriculture Ministry, currently the country needs 4,500
tonnes of seeds annually, 70 percent of which are marketed by private companies.
60% hybrid varieties of this seed and the remaining 40% of modern and native
varieties invented by Bari scientists.
However, in countries where the Bengali speaking people are living, Bangladesh's
demand for vegetables is high. Nearly 60 percent of the exported vegetables go to
other countries including the Middle East and the remaining 40 percent in Europe.
Among these vegetables, there are notable crops like karna, kokrol, tomato, papaya,
brinjal, molasses, lau, kachur lati, kachurmukhi, sweet pumpkin, barbati, jackfruit,
cucumber, ghee, larkas, ponies, cauliflower, cabbage, chapatrice, patal and jhunga. In
addition, processed vegetables include stalks, cucumbers, beans, coconuts, banana
flowers, gourds and jackfruit.
11. In order to cultivate poisonous vegetables, the farmers of northern region are also
using their own methods of genetically-modified therapies. And in this it's a mess. As
the money to buy farm pesticides is surviving, consumers can also get poisonous
vegetables. Initially, the farmers of northern answer to pesticide abuse were not so
aware, but now they have known its harmful aspects. this case, the gender fertility
system has received huge response among the farmers.
12. Revolution of Fruits in Bangladesh...

development of modern, irrigated and least-risk agriculture
strengthening of the agricultural research and extension systems
sustainable technologies
participation of NGOs
adoption of policies and regulations
19. Conclusion…
The introduction of CDP in the agriculture sector has created
an awareness among the farmers to grow and consume a
variety of crops.
As crop diversification is believed to be an effective means for
improving the performance of agriculture in Bangladesh, so
the future directions are formulated based on several
assumptions.
