A field experiment was carried out at Rajapur, Bardiya Nepal to determine the effect of different biofertilizers on the yield of spring rice (Oryza sativa L.). Five different combinations of biofertilizers and chemical fertilizer viz. T1 (Azolla + N:P:K @50:15:15 kg ha-1), T2 (Azotobacter+ N:P:K @50:15:15 kg ha-1), T3 (Azotobacter +Mycorrhiza + N:P:K @50:15:15 kg ha-1), T4 (Azotobacter + Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria+ Potassium Mobilizing Bacteria+ N:P:K @50:15:15 kg ha-1) and T5 (Recommended chemical fertilizer i.e. N:P:K @100:30:30 kg ha-1) was used. The experiment was laid out in a simple RCBD design with four replications and 3mˣ2m individual plot size. The hardinath-1 variety was used for the experiment. Biometrical observations like plant height (99.92 cm), number of tillers (355.62 m-2) were found significantly highest in T1 (Azolla + NPK@50:15:15 kg ha-1). Similarly, yield attributing characters such as the number of effective tillers (340 m-2), number of filled grains per panicle (114.30), highest panicle length (28.42 cm) was found significantly the highest in T1 (Azolla + NPK@50:15:15 kg ha-1). The highest grain yield (8.46 ton ha-1), straw yield (12.6 ton ha-1), and harvest index (0.40) were also observed on T1 (Azolla + NPK@50:15:15 kg ha-1). Benefit cost ratio was also found highest on T1 (Azolla + NPK@50:15:15 kg ha-1) which was 2.05 incurring the cost of cultivation Rs 72035 per hectare returning the total revenue of Rs 148190 per hectare. The study shows that the application of T1 (Azolla + NPK@50:15:15 kg ha-1) was the best fertilizer combination for spring rice production as it was superior over other fertilizer combinations in terms of yield and yield attributing characters with the highest benefit cost ratio.

Abstract We use data from the Head Start Impact Study (HSIS) to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of Head Start, the largest early childhood education program in the United States. Head Start draws roughly a third of its participants from competing preschool programs, many of which receive public funds. We show that accounting for the fiscal impacts of such program substitution pushes estimates of Head Start’s benefit-cost ratio well above one under a wide range of assumptions on the structure of the market for preschool services and the dollar value of test score gains. To parse the program’s test score impacts relative to home care and competing preschools, we selection-correct test scores in each care environment using excluded interactions between experimental assignments and household characteristics. We find that Head Start generates larger test score gains for children who would not otherwise attend preschool and for children who are less likely to participate in the program.

This paper reports findings from a study carried out to investigate the profitability of snail marketing in Ibadan North East Local Government area of Oyo State. Structured questionnaires and interview schedules were designed to obtain information on socio-economic characteristics, operational capital and source, years of experience in the business and constraints to snail marketing. Seventy snail marketers, randomly selected from three major markets which are Oje, Agodi gate and Agugu market;. The data collected were analyzed using frequency table, percentage, gross margin, Benefit/ Cost ratio and Marketing Efficiency analyses. Majority (94.3%) of the respondents were female while 5.7% were male. 31.5% were between the ages of 51-60years with mean age of 54.9 years. It was also shown that 50% source their capital through personal savings between N11,000-N20,000 and 47.1% with 5-9years experience. The cost and return analysis revealed that total revenue was N1, 457,700.00k and total cost was N1, 285,320.00k while gross margin    was N172, 380.00k and benefit- cost ratio was 1.13 which implies that for every N1.00 invested the marketer will make a return of N1.13k on every snail sold, Marketing efficiency was 88%. Major constraints to snail marketing in the study area were poor market patronage (87.1%) and seasonality (82.9%). Snail farming is advocated since it is a profitable agribusiness and can be achieved through cooperatives and micro credit facilities. Also, marketing of snail in the area    should be restructured and standardized to command frequent patronage and command higher price value.

The study was conducted to assess the cost and return from tilapia farming. Fifty homestead aquaculture ponds practicing monoculture and polyculture of tilapia (25 farmers from each category) were selected for this study. Data had been collected through face to face interview by using a structured questionnaire during April to September 2015 from the selected farmers of Dinajpur districts. The results from the survey revealed that both the tilapia monoculture and polyculture farming were profitable. However, the average total cost per hectare per production period was found higher (Tk. 332,712.08) in tilapia monoculture than tilapia culture with carps (Tk. 241,722.34). Moreover, the net margin was also found higher in tilapia monoculture with benefit cost ratio 1.51. Whereas, the benefit cost ratio in polyculture farming was 1.34. J. Bangladesh Agril.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity in Indonesia is leveling off. The study aims to determine the effect of the Jejer Manten double rows modified planting system on the growth, productivity, and economic feasibility of the rice farming system. The study was conducted in Lampung Province, Indonesia from 2016 to 2018. The study was arranged using a split-plot design with 3 replications. The treatment consisted of two factors namely: planting system (S1 = Jajar Tegel, S2 = Jajar Legowo double rows 2:1, and S3 = Jejer Manten double rows modification) and rice varieties (V1 = Ciherang; V2 = Inpari 10).The results of the study showed that the Jejer Manten planting system produced higher growth and productivity than Jajar Tegel and Jajar Legowo planting system. During the three years of research, the application of the Jejer Manten planting system increased productivity by 6.04-32.27% compared to Jajar Tegel and 13.78-28.92% compared to the Jajar Legowo planting system. Economically, based on the analysis of marginal benefit-cost ratio (MBCR), the application of the Jejer Manten planting system was more feasible than the Jajar Tegel planting system (MBCR = 6.32) and Jajar Legowo planting system (MBCR = 8.18). Based on these results, it is recommended to apply the Jejer Manten planting system as a new technology to increase rice production and support of food self-sufficiency program of Indonesia.
