The present study was conducted in five districts namely Mymensingh, Ranpur, Pabna, Rajshahi and Chapainwabganj in Bangladesh. The objectives of the study were i) to identify the socio-economic characteristics of Aus rice growers; ii) to estimate profitability and productivity of Binadhan-19 in the study areas; and iii) to find out the major preferences and constraints for the variety cultivation. A total of 200 farmers were randomly selected (40 from each location) to collect the data with a pre-designed questionnaire. The distribution of the farmers by age showed that the mean age for Binadhan-19 cultivated farmers was 43 years. In the study areas among the farmer 86% was educated. Farmers average experience was 20 year and income were Tk. 235066 (USD 2611.84) per year. Per hectare average yield of rice was 1.37 ton. It was estimated that, to produce one kilogram of rice, total cost incurred was Tk. 14 where per kg average selling price of rice was Tk. 17. The average gross return and gross margin of rice cultivation were found Tk. 90679 (USD 1007.54)/ha and Tk. 51290 (USD 559.88)/ha, respectively. Per hectare average net return was Tk. 2459 (USD 27.32) which was found to be highest in Chapainwabganj Tk. 29739 (USD 330.43) and lowest in Rangpur Tk. 12692 (USD 141.02) district. BCR on total cost basis was found 1.37. The highest preference was for neat rice 98% and the highest constrain said by the farmer was crop destroy by animal and bird of paddy for early ripening in Binadhan-19 cultivation.

Tegra practice (healthy seedling, mechanical transplanting, herbicide application and advisory services), as a new concept in commercial rice cultivation, needs to be evaluated with farmer’s practices in our country. This study was conducted in the farmers’ field during Aman 2013 and Boro 2013-14 seasons in Bogra district. In each season, six farmers within one kilometer radius were selected to conduct this study. Randomized complete block design (RCBD) with two treatments namely farmer’s practices (FP) and Tegra practices (TP) were used in the experiment. Self-propelled four rows walking-type rice transplanter was used to transplant seedling in TP. Seedlings were raised in plastic tray to use in mechanical transplanter. The mat seedlings were ready to transplant when attained 3-4 leaves and 10-12 cm height. Mechanical transplanting found faster than manual transplanting. Missing/floating hill observed insignificant in mechanically transplanted field. Fuel consumption of mechanical transplanter obtained 4.5 L/ha. Tender aged seedling was used in TP and seedling age was higher in FP than TP. Plant height followed the similar trend in both the practices. Tillering ability obtained the highest in TP than FP. TP produced significantly higher (14-23%) grain yield in both seasons. The total cost of production, gross return, gross margin and BCR obtained the highest in TP. BCR showed 5-13% higher in TP than FP in both the seasons due to higher grain and straw yield. The economic analysis clearly revealed the profitability of TP over FP in both the seasons.Bangladesh Rice j. 2016, 20(1): 33-43

The present study attempted to determine the contract growers’ costs and returns of the open pollinated tomato seed production and resource use efficiency under different categories of farmers in some selected areas of greater Rangpur district. In total 60 open pollinated tomato seed contract growers were purposively selected in consultation with BADC personnel at the categories of marginal, small and medium farmers. Total cost, gross margin, gross return, net return and benefit cost ratio (undiscounted) were estimated for financial analysis. The results revealed that per hectare total cost, gross return and net return of open pollinated tomato seed production were estimated at Tk 220313, 384000 and 163687, respectively. Benefit cost ratios came out to be 1.64, 1.74 and 1.83 for marginal, small and medium farmers’, respectively which was found a bit higher for the medium open pollinated tomato seed contract growers. The Cobb-Douglas production function model was used to estimate the values of coefficient and related statistics of production function. The coefficient of human labour cost, cost of using seed, organic manure cost, fertilizer cost and irrigation charges were statistically significant. Returns to scale was found to be 1.19 and that of the value of R2 was 0.79. The marginal productivity analysis indicated that the contract growers in the study areas have failed to show their efficiency in using the resources. It was evident that timely and efficient uses of different inputs are most important to increase production and profitability of the open pollinated tomato seed contract growers.

The study identified agronomic practices, analyzed relative profitability, and resource use efficiency of tuberose cultivation in Bangladesh during January 2010. Primary data were collected from 100 randomly selected farmers from Jessore and Chuadanga districts. The results revealed that the per hectare costs of tuberose cultivation were estimated at Tk. 2,00,761 and Tk. 1,29,283 over full cost and variable cost, respectively. The major share of total cost was for human labour (30%) followed by land use (23%), and fertilizer (17%). The total cost was 26% and 12% higher than its competitive crops banana and papaya, respectively. The yield of tuberose was 4,54,425 sticks per hectare. The gross margin and net return were Tk. 5,52,354 and Tk.4,80,876 per hectare, respectively. This net return was 65% higher than banana and 71% higher than papaya cultivation. The BCRs (benefit cost ratio) were 5.27 and 3.39 over variable cost and full cost basis, respectively. Production function revealed that human labour, seedling and irrigation had positive effect on tuberose cultivation. The lack of scientific knowledge, high yielding variety and efficient transport facility were reported to be major problems in tuberose cultivation. Bangladesh J. Agril.

Background and objective: Ileal conduit for urinary diversion can be completed using either end-to-end handsewn or stapled anastomosis. This study aimed to compare stepled and handsewn anastomosis methods in terms of complications, hospitalization and cost. Materials and methods: Forty-three patients were included in the hand-sewn and 44 patients in the stapler group. After creating an ileal conduit, continuity of the loop was achieved either with handsewn or stapler method. Patients' demographic data, time to onset of bowel movement, time to transit to oral intake, time to removal of the drain, perioperative and postoperative complications, mortality and total costs were retrospectively recorded and compared between the two groups. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of the mean to the onset of bowel movements (p = 0.51) and the mean time to transit to oral intake (p = 0.23). The mean time to removal of the drain was significantly lower in the stapler group (p = 0.023). Perioperative complications were seen in eight patients in the handsewn group, while none of the patients in the stapler group developed perioperative complication (p = 0.003). Postoperative complications were similar between both groups (p = 0.75). The duration of hospitalization was statistically significantly lower in the stapler group (p = 0.004) and the mean total cost was statistically significantly more advantageous (p < 0.001). Conclusion: No significant difference was found between stapler and handsewn anastomosis techniques in terms of postoperative complications. On the other hand, hospitalization and total cost were in favour of stapler technique, showing that this technique can be used safely.

The cost of managing late blight in potatoes during a severe epidemic caused by new, aggressive strains of Phytophthora infestans in the Columbia Basin of Washington and Oregon in 1995 was documented. The mean number of fungicide applications per field varied from 5.1 to 6.3 for early- and midseason potatoes, and from 8.2 to 12.3 for late-season potatoes in the northern and southern Columbia Basin, respectively. In 1994, a year when late blight was not severe, the mean number of fungicide applications per field made to early- and midseason potatoes was 2.0; whereas late-season potatoes received a mean of 2.5 applications. The mean per acre cost of individual fungicides applied varied from $4.90 for copper hydroxide to $36.00 for propamocarb + chlorothalonil. Total per acre expenses (application costs plus fungicide material) for protecting the crop from late blight during 1995 ranged from $106.77 to $110.08 for early and midseason potatoes in different regions of the Columbia Basin and from $149.30 to $226.75 for lateseason potatoes in the northern and southern Columbia Basin, respectively. Approximately 28% of the crop was chemically desiccated before harvest as a disease management practice for the first time in 1995, resulting in an additional mean cost of $34.48/acre or $1.3 million for the region. Harvested yields were 4 to 6% less than in 1994. The total cost of managing late blight in the Columbia Basin in 1995 is estimated to have approached $30 million.
