    International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) ISSN: 2319-7064 ResearchGate Impact Factor (2018): 0.28 | SJIF (2018): 7.426 Economic Analysis of Green Mung Bean in Selected Area, Myanmar Yu Yu Tun1, Aung Phyo2 1Associate Professor, Department of Agricultural Economics, Yezin Agricultural University, Nay Pyi Taw 2Lecturer, Department of Agricultural Economics, Yezin Agricultural University, Nay Pyi Taw Abstract: As mung bean is one of the income remunerative crops in Myanmar, this study was focus on economic analysis and market performance of green mung bean producers and market intermediaries along the supply chain in selected areas of Nay Pyi Taw and related market regions. The objectives are to understand the existing participants, marketing activities, and distribution channel in the marketing system of mung bean and to analyze the cost and profitability of mungbean producing farmers and market participants along the channel in the study area. Main marketing actors are farmers, village collector, local wholesalers, and wholesalers (exporter) in Mandalay and Yangon markets. Marketing activities analysis showed farmers still have lower standard of grading and standardizing and also limited source of market information as compared to other market participants been indication to upgrade an efficient market information system to all. In the marketing channel, farmers preferred to sell local wholesalers and only very few farmers sold to village collector and most of the farmers in the study areas have directly contact with the local (townships) wholesalers. Local wholesalers traded their goods to the main agents such as Mandalay and Yangon wholesalers/exporters. In the results of profitability analysis, Farmers got the benefit cost ratio of 1.97 in mung bean production in the study area implied that for every 1.00 MMK invested in mung bean production in the area, 0.97 MMK was returned, thus further confirming the profitability of the enterprise.

    DEVELOPMENT OF A DECISION SUPPORT FRAMEWORK TO ASSIST WITH FERTILIZER DECISIONS IN MYANMAR So Pyay Thar MSc in AgriCommerce ORCID ID: 0000-0002-7696-9649 Submitted in total fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY April 2021 School of Agriculture and Food Faculty of Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences University of Melbourne, Australia ABSTRACT Myanmar is an agricultural country with substantial development potential, having abundance of land, water and labor resources. Despite this, agricultural productivity in Myanmar is low and smallholder farm profits and incomes are amongst the lowest in Asia. Many reports have documented that the underperformance of crops and low yield is mainly due to the low use of fertilizers by smallholders in Myanmar. Fertilizer application is an important strategy in increasing crop yield. However, determining the “Right Rate” at the “Right Time” is challenging to achieve economic, social and environmental goals. Many decision support tools (DSTs) have been developed to support farmers in making better informed fertilizer management decisions. Such tools allow farmers to use fertilizers more efficiently and increase production, reduce risks, save resources and gain more profit with a lower detrimental impact on the environment. DSTs are developed to be a solution and support farmers in Myanmar with their fertilizer decisions. However, there is limited evidence of the acceptability and successful ongoing uptake of DSTs by farmers throughout the world. A review of the literature suggested that agricultural DSTs, in general, have suffered from low levels of use, apparently due to limited acceptability by end users. Reasons for this include lack of user participation in the initial design and development of the tools, complexity of earlier DST versions, insufficient training and technical support and limited on-going funding for DST maintenance.

    Population Density of Rice Root Nematode, Hirschmanniella oryzae (Luc and Goodey, 1964) in Nay Pyi Taw Union Territory Ei Ei Mon 1, Myat Lin 2*, Yu Yu Min 3, Phyu Thaw Tun 4, Tin Aye Aye Naing 5 Abstract Soil and root samples from 44 rice fields were collected on 5 summer rice varieties (Manawthukha, Sinthukha, Shwethweyin, Palethwe and Yet-90) in 5 townships (Lewe, Tatkon, Pyinmana, Zabuthiri and Dekkhinathiri) to determine the population density of Hirschmanniella oryzae . It was observed that 98.89 % out of 44 fields sampled were infested with the rice root nematode, H. oryzae . Based on the prominence value (a combination of the frequency of occurrence and abundance) of H. oryzae , Tatkon Township was the most infested region and the lowest population was found in Lewe Township. The highest population of H. oryzae from soil and root was observed in Sinthukha and the lowest population was found in Shwethweyin. All summer rice varieties surveyed were observed to be either susceptible or highly susceptible to H. oryzae . In two different cropping sequences, rice-blackgram-rice cropping sequence had the lower nematode population than that of rice-rice cropping one. Moreover, the lower nematode population was also found in direct seeding than in transplanting method. Key words: H. oryzae , prominence value, rice varieties, susceptible 1Master student, Department of Plant Pathology, Yezin Agricultural University 2Division of Post-Harvest Technology, Advanced Centre for Agricultural Research and Education 3Department of Agricultural Microbiology, Yezin Agricultural University 4Department of Agronomy, Yezin Agricultural University 5Department of Plant Pathology, Yezin Agricultural University *Corresponding author: [email protected] 1 Introduction Rice ( Oryza sativa L.) is the staple food crop for a large part of the world's human population (Sharif 2014).
