Jute plants undergo retting, a biological process to separate fibres from woody stems without damaging the fibre cellulose using water and aquatic microorganisms or bacteria. The quality of jute fibre largely depends on this post-harvest processing method. The photo was taken at Batna village of Barishal sadar upazila on Saturday. Photo: Titu Das
Rains since Saturday noon are helping farmers prepare the soil again for the Aman paddy season. The photo was taken from Sonatola upazila in Bogura on Sunday. A vast part of land was dry and cracks had formed in many parts of the country, particularly in the north, affecting the cultivation of Aman rice, the second-largest paddy after Boro.
