A high degree of water repellency is obtained in wood modified by silanation. However, the degrading effect of HC1, formed as a by-product in the reaction, may not be fully offset by the use of acid acceptors or inert [...]
The paper includes a field key of 12 species of Bangladesh Loranthaceae based on their leaves and indumentum characters. Brief taxonomic notes on vegetative characters of the species, their flowering time and distribution in Bangladesh have been presented.
The applicability of kiln drying schedules developed earlier were verified for 5 cm thick planks of thirty indigenous hardwood species. A series of charges were kiln dried covering the entire specific gravity range under four classes. It was found [...]
An attempt was made to develop a nursery procedure of Calamus guruba Buch-Ham. (Jait bet), C. tenuis Roxb. (Bandhari bet) and C. latifolius Roxb. (Korak bet) involving seed collection, pre-sowing seed treatment, media preparation, seed germination and seedling care. [...]
The effects of time of harvesting the seeds and the interval of sowing the same on germination was investigated in Garjan. Higher germination (95%) was obtained from the earlier harvests, as well as, early sowings. Much variation in germination [...]
Tropical pines have been under introduction trials in Bangladesh since 1961-62 with a view to building up a source of long-fibred pulp. Pathological observations in respect of planted Pines at Forest Research Institute Campus, Chittagong are reported. The etiology [...]
Seeds of Ipil-Ipil imported from the Philippines were experimentally tried at Charaljani (Tangail) and Keochia (Chittagong) to compare
the growth performance of the cultivars.
Survival percentages of the three cultivars, K8, K27 and K67 at Charaljani were 96, 94 and 93 [...]
