Research Field and Laboratories

The field demonstration program for the students of CAS has been enriched with the development and creation of research facilities with the utilization of laboratory equipments, machineries, chemicals and reagents and glass-ware. The College of Agricultural Sciences (CAS) has a well-established Agriculture laboratory with a big experimental field in the permanent campus at Uttara and a germplasm centre at Ashulia, Dhaka. The green campus of the university is itself a site for agricultural research.

The Agricultural Laboratories consist of  different disciplines of agronomic practices such as  Crop Production ,Crop Botany, Soil Science, Soil Survey and classification, Plant Physiology and Plant Nutrition, Agricultural Chemistry,  Plant Pathology, and Entomology, Horticulture and Floriculture, Food processing, Genetics and Plant Breeding, Animal and Fisheries Sciences, Poultry and Dairy  production, and Ecology and Crop Climatology. The laboratories have been modernized with essential equipments like simple and compound microscopes, digital camera and banner, autoclave, laminar air flow, oven, pH meter, hydrometer, grinder, hot plate with magnetic stirrer, DO, EC, and BOD meter, digital balance, Pyrex and normal glass apparatus, morter and pastle, glass-wares, macro and micro pipette, insect boxes, aquarium and other specific subject related equipments and machineries.

The College of Agricultural Sciences (CAS) has a well-established Agriculture laboratory with a big experimental field in the permanent campus at Uttara  and  a  germplasm centre at Ashulia, Dhaka. The green campus of the university is itself a site for agricultural research. Along with the conventional field research activities, many rare, underutilized and high value crops/plants are raised. Among them Perennial Garlic, Tokma, Lemon Tulsi, Sesame, Arums, Elephant foot yam, Sweet potatoes, Grape vine, Kalomegh, Lemons, Amloki, Neem, Gila, Palmyra, Fish tail palm, Patipta and Arjun are important.

The Agricultural Laboratories of CAS encompass different disciplines such as Agronomy, Crop Botany, Soil Science, Soil Survey and classification, Plant Physiology and Plant Nutrition, Agricultural Chemistry, Crop production, Plant Pathology, and entomology, Horticulture and Floriculture, Food processing, Genetics and Plant Breeding, Animal and Fisheries Sciences, Poultry and Dairy  production, and Ecology and Crop Climatology. The laboratories are equipped with simple and compound microscopes, digital balance, glass-wares, and other specific subject related equipments and machineries.

The germplasm centre with an Arboretum at Ashulia is an endemic flora rich centre and another 100 acre area in Naikhongchari, Bandarbon Hill Tracts is available mainly for upland hill agricultural research which will be one in the country’s biodiversity and food security centre. Keeping the traditional  culture of the Tribal and indigenous people and the landscape unchanged, the research project will develop a new dimension of sustainable living of the under privileged hill dwellers. The students of CAS are getting scope for practical multidisciplinary agricultural practices there.
