Accepted 5 February 2011) This study was aimed at the large scale production and application of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) biopesticide in Bangladesh agriculture from locally available cheap raw materials. B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki HD-73 (reference strain) and two other indigenous isolates of B. thuringiensis namely Bt-Soil-47 and Bt-Insect-1i demonstrated satisfactory growth of sporulation and endotoxin production in a medium prepared from de-fatted mustard-seed meal (oil cake) as

Briefly explain the “Treadmill of Production”. What are some indicators mentioned as outcomes of the treadmill of production? The Treadmill of Production refers to the emphasis on a system that must continue to grow and with that growth continues to produce more products and services which require more energy and resources. Along with this increasing production consumer waste also continues to grow. Some of the indicators mentioned as outcomes of the treadmill of production are the following: the number

BOYAN JOVANOVIC New YorkUniversity The Diversification of Production produce more than one product. In this sense their production is diversified‚ or horizontally integrated. This paper addresses two questions. First‚ why have firms become more diversified over the past century? And second‚ why are diversified firms more oriented toward research and development (R&D) than nondiversified firms? I tackle these two questions under the assumption that a firm diversifies to maximize its efficiency

1981-82. Average productivity increased to 2.3 tons per hectare (2.8 tons on irrigated farms) by 1983. By the late 1970s‚ the country had changed from a net importer to a net exporter of rice‚ albeit on a small scale. In the 1980s‚ however‚ rice production encountered problems. Average annual growth for 1980-85 declined to a mere 0.9 percent‚ as contrasted with 4.6 percent for the preceding fifteen years. Growth of value added in the rice industry also fell in the 1980s.
