Availability of feeds and fodder and amount of their intake by large ruminants in eight different agro-ecological zones (AEZ) of Bangladesh were recorded over a year. Roughages such as straw, naturally grown green grass, water hyacinth, tree leaves, legumes and sugarcane tops were the major feedstuffs fed to the large ruminants. Amount of intake of these ingredients differed (p<0.01) across AEZ studied, but did not differ across seasons or farmers' categories (p>0.05) except for green grasses (p<0.01). Byproduct concentrates offered to animals in the studied areas were rice bran, wheat bran and different oil cakes. The amount of intake of concentrates by the animals also differed (p<0.01) across AEZs, but did not differ across seasons or farmers' categories (p>0.05), except for rice bran and wheat bran which differed between season and farm category, and season respectively (p<0.01). The large standard errors of mean indicate that there are wide variations in intake of roughages and concentrates across AEZ's, seasons and farmers' categories and even across days. This further indicates that the feeding practices of large ruminants are largely heterogeneous. In addition to feeding roughage and concentrates, the animals were allowed to graze for six hours a day. Grazing hours also differed (p<0.01) across AEZ, but not by farmers' categories or seasons.

Paramyrothecium eichhorniae sp. nov. was observed and collected from Chiang Mai and Phetchaburi Provinces, Thailand. This new species is introduced based on morphological and molecular evidence. This fungus is characterized by its production of sporodochium conidiomata with a white setose fringe surrounding an olivaceous green to dark green slimy mass of conidia, penicillately branched conidiophores, and aseptate and cylindrical to ellipsoid conidia. Phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU rDNA, ITS rDNA, tef1, rpb2, tub2 and cmdA sequence data using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches placed the fungus in a strongly supported clade with other Paramyrothecium species in Stachybotryaceae (Hypocreales, Sordariomycetes). The descriptions of the species are accompanied by illustrations of morphological features, and a discussion of the related taxa is presented.

The physico-chemical characteristics of water and sediment, and structures of vegetation of the vascular hydrophytes were investigated in the West Nakdong River. Water quality was eutrophic according to the mean values and the ranges of water properties such as pH, DO, BOD, chlorophyll a, total nitrogen and phosphate, and other nutrients. A few cases were hypereutrophic for chlorophyll a level in summer. Soil reaction was weak acid. Composition of sediment was mainly sand except in SI(Sinan chideung) of which was mainly clay, and SU(Suan chideung) of which was mainly silt. Flora of vascular hydrophyte had 26 species and 1 variety comprising 16 families. Trapa japonica was dominant species in the sites of DU(Dunchido), GA(Garak chideung) and SU. Nymphoides peltata and Hydrocharis dubia dominated in DA and SI, respectively. Species diversity and evenness were relatively high in SI and SU but dominance was high in DA. After June, water lettuce(Pistia stratiotes) and water hyacinth(Eichhornia crassipes) were flowed from tributary to the river. Standing crop of macrohydrophytes was high in DA from April to August, but it showed maximum standing crop (445g·dw/㎡) in DU after disturbance by explosive growth of exotic plants in October. In comparison with those in 1985, total productivities in DU and GA decreased to 33.5%, and the reduction ratio of dominant species, Trapa japonica was 56.7%. Najas marina, N. minor, Myriophyllum spicatum and Nymphoides indica have disappeared ever since the Nakdong barrage was constructed in the Nakdong river. They were divided into three groups (GA-SU-DU, DA, SI) by cluster analysis. Introduction of the exotic species in this river caused decreasing of endemic plants including endangered species Euryale ferox and rare species Hydocharis dubia, and food plants for waterfowl such as Trapa japonica, Vallisneria asiatica and Potamogeton crispus.

부레옥잠은 대량 재배 및 수확이 가능한 수질정화용 식물로 생활하수, 축산폐수, 공장폐수 등의 수질정화 기능이 뛰어나고, 수확물은 건조 및 발효과정을 거쳐 가축 사료, 유기질 비료, 버섯 배지로 사용이 가능하고, 별도의 공업적 처리를 거치면 고부가가치의 바이오 연료, 연소용 연료로 사용이 가능한 친환경 농업 생산물로 본 연구에서는 부레옥잠의 고형연료 제조를 위한 수면에서 수확장치 개발을 위한 견인 특성을 파악하고 장치개발 가능성을 파악하고자 하였다. 부력구조물 부력, 부레옥잠 견인력, 부력을 측정하기 위한 실험 장치를 제작하여 부레옥잠 중량, 견인방식, 견인속도에 따른 견인력을 측정하였고, 경남 거제시에 위치한 저수지에서 실제 견인실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 견인중량 및 견인 속도가 증가할수록 견인력은 증가하였으며 인력으로 부레옥잠을 견인하는 경우 부레옥잠 중량당 견인력은 약 $0.9{\sim}1.39kg_f$로 나타났으며 이는 향 후 부레옥잠 견인장치를 설계할 경우 부레옥잠 견인중량에 따른 견인력 산정 시 참고 자료로 매우 유용하게 활용 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 저수지에서 견인실험 결과 견인속도 증가에 따른 유속저항으로 경운기에 의한 견인작업은 불가능하였으며 인력에 위한 견인 실험결과 부레옥잠 단위중량당 견인력은 견인바 3 m의 경우 1.5 ~ 2.6 N/kg, 견인바 6 m의 경우 2.1 ~ 5.4 N/kg로 비교적 크기로 나타났으나, 견인용 바에 따른 요인을 고려한 경우는 0.36 ~ 0.91 N/(kg-m)로 비교적 일정한 값을 보였다. 견인용 바 6 m, 무부하에서 인력과 경운기로 견인하는 경우 견인력은 39.24 N, 153.03 N으로 인력으로 견인하는 경우가 견인력이 작게 측정되었음. 이는 속도증가에 따라 물의 저항력이 증가함으로 나타난 결과로 부레옥잠 견인 시 견인속도는 0.36 m/s가 가장 적합한 것으로 판단되었다.
