The successful planning and implementation of the census activities, followed by the timely release of the provisional results in August 2014 and now the main results in May 2015, is a clear testimony of the Government’s resolve to publish all information collected from respondents in accordance with the Population and Housing Census Law No. 19 of 2013. It is my hope that the main census results will be interpreted correctly and will effectively inform the planning and decision-making processes in our quest for national development. The census structures put in place, including the Central Census Commission, Census Committees and Offices at all administrative levels and the International Technical Advisory Board (ITAB), a group of 15 experts from different countries and institutions involved in censuses and statistics internationally, provided the requisite administrative and technical inputs for the implementation of the census.

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.

In the meantime, older populations are increasing rapidly in the whole world and thus, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataract and diabetic retinopathy are becoming common. Hot and dusty environment, inadequate access to water and poor facial hygiene are risk factors for blindness. A MATERIALS AND METHOD: Lewe Township was purposively selected due to its high prevalence of eye problems. A cross-sectional study was conducted and simple random sampling was applied to achieve desired sample size. The structured questionnaires were used to collect B data including screening of eye problems from 414 elderly population. Frequency, percentage, mean, SD and other descriptive analysis S were determined and chi-square test for associations was constructed. RESULTS: Cataract was the highest prevalence rate with 40.8% followed by refractive error (27.3%) and pterygium (12.8%) among older T people population in research area. While knowledge level indicated good level (88.4%), good attitude level (21.3%) and good practice level R (27.1%) were noticeably low among older people. In the meantime, there were significant associations between age (p=0.003) and education A level (p=0.001) with knowledge level of older people while age (p=0.001), education level (p<0.001), occupation (p=0.038) showed statistically association with attitude level.

    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).
