InsectsDiversity Potato FarmersThe study was conducted in the 20 upazila of 10 selected major potato growing districts of Bangladesh to find out the present potato cultivation status, challenges, diversity of pests and their risks management options among the farmers. The data were collected through interview of 500 potato farmers considering 25 potato farmers from each upazila. Infections of diseases were reported to be the major problems followed by lower market price of the produced potato. Other major problems faced during potato cultivation were insect pest attack and weed attack. The BARI Alu-7 (Diamant) was most susceptible potato variety to insect pests and diseases, whereas the Lal-pakhri was the least susceptible to pests. Most of the fields (98.50%) were infested by cutworm. Among these pests, cutworm and aphid were identified as major pests and caused high and moderate infestations respectively. Others were identified as minor pests of potato with low infestations. Potato tuber worm was found as the key pest in storage condition. Rat was reported as the most infesting vertebrate storage pests. Currently cutworm and aphid were more damaging insect pest of potato in field condition than previous infestation, and potato tuber worm was more damaging insect pest in storage. Insecticide spray is the most favorable pest control method among the potato growers. Only a little portion of farmers have knowledge about integrated pest management (IPM) practices. So, it is expected the proper awareness program and planning will be taken to handle such challenges. To cite this article: Nasif SO, MNH Sani, MS Islam, MT Anondo, KF Punam and MR Ali, 2018.

“…The average yield of potato in Bangladesh is very low as compared to many potato-growing countries of the world, and is only 19.65 t/ha (BBS 2018). Potato production, certification and value chain; resource and agricultural inputs requirements have been further reported by several authors (Siddique et al 2015;Hossain and Siddique, 2015;Sultana et al 2015). However, the main reason for increasing area is favorable environmental conditions particularly prolonged winter.…”

An experiment was conducted at Breeder Seed Production Centre (BSPC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Debiganj, Panchagarh during cropping seasons to investigate comparative potentiality of five clonal potato hybrids, 4.5 W, 4.15, 4.26 R, 4.27 and 4.40 for releasing as variety in the country. In the investigation two outstanding varieties, Diamant and Cardinal were used as check. All the genotypes under study expressed excellent plant vigour showing above seven score (at 1-10 rating scale). Plant height ranged from 58.73 to 68.20 cm. The highest tuber weight/hill was found at 4.26 R (763.7 g) which was statistically similar to 4.5 W (741.7 g) and 4.40 (670.3 g) while the lowest was found at 4.15 (537.7 g). The highest yield was found from clone 4.40 (29.57 t/ha) at 65 days after planting (DAP) which was statistically similar to all other genotypes except 4.27 (22.44 t/ha). Regarding yield the clones/varieties may be arranged in order to descending as 4.5 W (47.36 t/ha), 4.26 R (46.02 t/ha), 4.40 (44.69 t/ha), Cardinal (40.46 t/ha), 4.27 (40.23 t/ha), Diamant (39.81 t/ha) and 4.15 (35.83 t/ha). Among them clone 4.5 W and 4.26 R gave significant higher yield than Diamant and Cardinal. Therefore, these two genotypes could be selected for variety for Bangladesh condition with further trails in other parts of the country.

“…Inputs requirement (i.e., seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides, labour, water etc. ), profitability, marketing and value chain studies of these crops are important for productivity and farm return (Hossain and Siddique, 2015;Sultana et al 2015;Siddique et al 2015). In this regard, chilli is a valuable spice and also an important cash crop in Bangladesh.…”

The study aims to assess financial profitability of green chilli. Fifty producers of green chilli from three upazila of Bogra district were selected for study purpose. A structured questionnaire was constructed for data collection. The results are as descriptive statistics and interpreted based on farmer feedbacks. Findings include that total cost (TC) for green Chilli is Tk. 128011.13; gross return (GR) of Green Chilli is Tk. 240864; gross margin (GM) for green Chilli is Tk. 137698. All the calculations are based on per hectare. Thus, producing green Chilli net return (NR) is Tk. 112852.87. The green chilli is attractive for farmers to produce as its benefit cost ratio (BCR) shows 1.88 in our study. Lack of agricultural credit, lack of farmer's association and lack of crop insurance were the major problems for green chilli cultivation. Farmers expect to avail sufficient credit facilities along with regular government extension services, strong market monitoring authority and better transportation facilities for assisting Chilli cultivation. Moreover, a farmers' association is needed to be formed in chilli production area.
