(Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Research System (SAURES), Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2013-07) Laila, L.; Aminuzzaman, F. M.; Islam, M. R.; Rayhan, S. J.; Tania, S. N.
A net house experiment was carried out in the field of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh to evaluate ten wheat varieties against leaf blight (Bipolaris sorokiniana). The wheat seeds of varieties Sonalika, Kanchan, Barkat, Shatabdi, Aghrani, Pavon-76, Akbar, Gourab, Sourav and Protiva were collected from Banngladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARl), Gazipur. At ear initiation stage, flowering stage, milking stage and hard dough stage minimum disease severity was recorded in the variety Shatabdi and maximum in the variety Sonalika. The highest number of grains/ear (36.95) and number of healthy grains/ear (36.43) were recorded in the variety Shatabdi The highest 1000-seed weight (43.1Og) were recorded in the variety Gourab and lowest in the variety Protiva. The highest grain yield/pot (5.97g) was recorded in the variety Gourab and lowest yield/pot (4.40g) in the variety Pavon-76. The highest straw yield /pot (14.13g) was recorded in the variety Barkat and lowest (9.IOg) in the variety Shatabdi.

Bangladesh is a small South Asian country and has the highest population density in the world. It has an agro-based economy, where about half of the total population is female and a majority of them, about 80%, live in rural areas. Most of the rural women have little opportunity to participate in intra-household, socio-economic and political decision-making processes as well as very limited interaction with people outside of the home. The works of women in Bangladesh are mostly confined to the homestead due to cultural, religious and social restrictions. Most of the rural people are poor and family depends on income of male person; but ensuring the income of women is an essential precondition for the elimination of poverty. At present women are involved in some income generating activities, Hand Weaving is one of them, not only women are taking benefit from this new sector but also men are getting more advantages from this. Socio-economic analysis, cost & return was estimated to show their income level as well as livelihood. The main objectives of the study are to improve livelihood of rural people, to analyze the proportion of income from various sources, to compare the income of weaver between present and past and to identify the determinants of income of weaver at household level through Multiple Classification Analysis (MCA).

(Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Research System (SAURES), Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2013-07) Rahman, M. S.; Mila, F. A.; Hasan, M. R.; Rayhan, S. J.
The study was conducted in Jessore and Rangpur district of Bangladesh to determine the income inequality among the farmers. Gini-coefficient and multiple regression analysis were used 10 achieve the objectives of the study. The findings of the study indicated more than 50% of the total income was come from non agriculture sources. More income inequality was found among the farmers of Jessore district than that of Rangpur district. Overall Gini-coefficient was found to be 0.25 in the study areas. Income from non agriculture sources contributes 52% of the overall income inequality. Income, education, family size, access to credit etc. had positive and significant effect on the welfare of the farmers. Credit with low interest rate, low cost production technologies played a vital role to increase the income as well as the welfare of the farmers in the study areas.
PROFITABILITY AND RESOURCE USE EFFICIENCY OF MUSTARD PRODUCTION IN SIRAJGANJ DISTRICT, BANGLADESH
(Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Research System (SAURES), Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2013-01) Rayhan, S. J.; Rahman, M. S.; Sammy, H. M.; Saha, S.
The study was conducted in Sirajganj district of Bangladesh to determine the profitability and resource use efficiency of mustard production. Both descriptive statistics and functional analysis was done to achieve the objectives of the study. The findings of the study suggested that the total cost of mustard production was Tk. 51105.8 per hectare of which 52.6% was variable cost. Net return and BeR was found to be Tk. 34556.9 per hectare and 1.6? respectively. Urea and TSP had positive and significant effect on the yield of mustard. Farmers in the study area use different input inefficiently. Farmers in the study area also face some constraints like high price of inputs, non-availability of quality seed, low price of mustard etc. regarding mustard production. Financial support and crop management training are needed to farmer to increase the production of mustard in the study area.
