The experiment was conducted during the period from 11 December, 2012 to 30 March 2013 to study the effect of supplementary nitrogen, irrigation and hormones on flower droppings, growth and reproductive behaviour of chickpea. Statistically significant variation was recorded for different growth and reproductive parameters. Results showed that BARI chola 9 gave the highest plant height, number of branches plant-1, dry matter content plant-1, pod remaining, pod length, seed yield and the lowest flower dropping, pod dropping, total dropping. Among the supplemental treatments, the highest plant height, number of branches plant-1, dry matter content plant-1, pod remaining, pod length, seed yield and the lowest flower dropping, pod dropping, total dropping were found from supplemental irrigation + aqueous N before flowering. In case of treatment combination, the highest plant height (39.31 cm), number of branches plant-1 (6.53), dry matter content plant-1 (7.02 g), pod remaining (39.67 %), pod length (1.96 cm), seed yield (1.94 t ha-1) and the lowest flower dropping (57.27 %), pod dropping (3.07 %), total dropping (60.33 %) was recorded from BARI chola 9 with supplemental irrigation + aqueous N before flowering.

Black Soldier Fly larvae
Solid residues produced by processing food waste via Microaerobic Fermentation (MF) and by Black Soldier Fly larvae (BSFL) have been proposed as soil fertilizers. Yet, little is known about their effects on plant growth. This study compares the growth of corn plants (Zea mays) in soil amended with MF or BSFL residue, with effects of aerated compost on corn growth over ten weeks. Corn plants grown in soil amended with MF residues were 109% taller and had 14% more leaves than those grown in traditional aerated compost (Cedar Grove). But plants grown in BSFL residues were stunted, growing 39% shorter and having 19% fewer leaves on average. Only height data was statistically significant. Results indicate that MF produced from food scraps is a suitable soil amendment product, but BSFL solid residue from a similar source is phytotoxic when amended, untreated, into soil in a ratio of one part residue to two parts soil. More research on additional post-processing methods for BSFL solid residue is needed.
