Situation Assessment Report in S-W Coastal Region of Bangladesh
Livelihood Adaptation to Climate Change Project (BGD/01/004/01/99) SITUATION ASSESSMENT REPORT IN S-W COASTAL REGION OF BANGLADESH (JUNE, 2009) Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) Acknowledgements The present study on livelihoods adaptation was conducted under the project Livelihood Adaptation to Climate Change, project phase-II (LACC-II), a sub-component of the Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP), funded by UNDP, EU and DFID which is being implemented by the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) with technical support of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), UN. The Project Management Unit is especially thankful to Dr Stephan Baas, Lead Technical Advisor (Environment, Climate Change and Bioenergy Division (NRC), FAO, Rome) and Dr Ramasamy Selvaraju, Environment Officer (NRC Division, FAO, Rome) for their overall technical guidance and highly proactive initiatives. The final document and the development of the project outputs are direct results of their valuable insights received on a regular basis. The inputs in the form of valuable information provided by Field Officers (Monitoring) of four coastal Upazilas proved very useful in compiling the report. The reports of the upazilas are very informative and well presented. In the course of the study, the discussions with a number of DAE officials at central and field level were found insightful. In devising the fieldwork the useful contributions from the DAE field offices in four study upazilas and in district offices of Khulna and Pirojpur was significant. The cooperation with the responsible SAAOs in four upazilas was also highly useful. The finalization of the study report has benefited from the valuable inputs, comments and suggestions received from various agencies such as DAE, Climate Change Cell, SRDI (Central and Regional offices), and others. -

Mott MacDonald is committed to integrating sustainability into our operational practices and culture. As a world leading consultancy business we are always seeking to improve our own performance and reduce the environmental impact of our business. Meanwhile, many of our staff are committed to living sustainably in their personal lives – as an employee-owned company Mott MacDonald shares their concerns. We feel an ethical obligation to reduce our emissions and resource use and have committed to reducing our per capita carbon footprint by a minimum of 5% year on year. We print our reports and client submissions using recycled, double-sided paper. Compared to printing single sided on A4 virgin paper, double sided printing on recycled paper saves the equivalent of two trees, over a ton of CO2 and a cubic metre of landfill space for every 100 reams. By choosing the greener path we have been able to achieve efficiencies benefiting both Mott MacDonald and our customers. We would like to share some of the principles of our own ‗Going Green‘ initiative: • When possible we scan rather than print and consider what really needs to be on paper • We use electronic faxing when practicable • We work on e-forms • We use recycled paper when possible and print on both sides • Reducing paper in the office creates a better working environment for our staff and our clients We believe that you, as one of our esteemed clients, will share our concern to conserve precious resources for the benefit of our planet and its inhabitants. -
Efficiency Measurement of Rice Producers in South-West Region of Bangladesh
IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 19, Issue 7, Ver. III (July. 2014), PP 145-153 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Efficiency Measurement of Rice Producers in South-West Region of Bangladesh Apurba Roy1, Dr Fauzia Hamid2 1(Masters Student, Economics Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna-9208, Bangladesh) 2(Professor, Economics Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna-9208, Bangladesh) Abstract: This research aims to measure the production efficiency, more specifically technical efficiency of the hybrid rice producing farms of Dighalia Upazila in Khulna District from south west region of Bangladesh, based on cross-section data collected from 80 farmers chosen randomly from the study area in 2013. In order to estimate technical efficiency, stochastic production frontier approach has been used. Estimates of OLS demonstrate that labor, fertilizer, and herbicide have positive and significant influence on rice production; on the other hand, land and seed show significant negative relation with output. However, MLE estimates indicate that land, labor, seed, and fertilizer are positively and significantly related with rice production. Study finding also indicates that technical efficiency in rice production ranges from 28 percent to 97 percent with a mean of 75 percent. Estimated gamma value is 0.94, which, confirms that there is presence of inefficiency in the production system. An attempt to identify the variables responsible for observed variations in technical efficiency among the farmers has been made by considering socioeconomic variables like age, gender, family size, education, farm size, farming experience, land fragmentation, and formal training, but, they are found to be statistically insignificant. -

Locally supervised by Dr. Md. Atikul Islam Professor, Khulna University, Khulna, Bangladesh. Introduction In the coastal areas of Bangladesh with the construction of Polders to reduce flood risk, salinity intrusion and maximize the agricultural production, the other problems like land subsidence, sedimentation, water logging and salinization have become severe by the time being. By addressing these problems, ‘Living Polders’ project is working in the south- western region to develop a sustainable solution considering the social and physical dynamics of the area. As a part of the ongoing baseline study a field visit was conducted in Polder 30 (Batiaghata and Gangarampur union) and Polder 35/3 (Kara Para, Dema and Malliker Ber Union) during 8th to 10th February, 2017. -

Severity of Associated Weeds in Rabi Crops and Their Control Measures Perceived by Farmers
The Journal of Agricultural Sciences - Sri Lanka Vol. 16, No 3, September 2021. Pp 452-465 http://doi.org/10.4038/jas.v16i03.9471 Severity of associated weeds in Rabi crops and their control measures perceived by farmers S. M. A. Islam1, M. A. I. Rana1, M. Ahmed2 and M. M. Islam2* Received: 23rd April 2020 / Accepted: 26th July 2021 ABSTRACT Purpose: The study was conducted to identify the associated weeds of Rabi (winter) crops and their control measures used by the farmers at Dumuria and Batiaghata upazila in Khulna district of Bangladesh. Research Method: Data were collected from purposively selected 73 respondents using structured interview conducted from 4 January to 20 April, 2019. Findings: In the study area, Echinochloa crussgalli and Cynodon dactylon were found as dominant within rice fields with the highest severity index of 25.34% and 20.54% respectively. In sesame fields, Cucumis melo var. agrestis and Cynodon dactylon were found with 16.78% and 12.33% severity index respectively. The severity index of Cynodon dactylon was the highest in majority of the vegetable crops. The weeding of rice, potato, bitter gourd, spinach, country bean was done within the critical weeding regime but in the rest of the crops weeding was not done during the critical weeding regime. Originality/value: Farmers spend about 40% of the total production cost on weed control and the critical weeding regime has a major impact on effectiveness of weed control, overall economic benefit and net income. Key Words: Associated weeds, Critical weeding regime, Rabi crops, Severity index INTRODUCTION 1998). Competition and Allelopathy are the important ecological interactions between the Bangladesh is predominantly an agrarian crop and weeds.
