“…Therefore, families having low subsistence pressure faced less constraints. The result is in agreement with the findings of Basak and Pandit (2011). They reported lower family subsistence pressure is well for formation of favourable attitude towards a new technology.…”

The study was conducted to determine the constraints faced by the farmers in commercial cultivation of vegetables and to explore relationship between the selected characteristics of the farmers and constraints faced by them. Data were collected through personal interview from 142 randomly selected respondents out of 1422 vegetable growers of the three villages viz. Panchpara, Bagan and Rampur, under Trishal Upazila of Mymensingh district during January to March 2011. In terms of overall constraints the highest portion (83.30%) of the respondents faced medium constraint. Based on constraint facing index (CEI), low price of vegetables during harvesting ranked first followed by lack of quality seed and high wages of labourer. Among the ten selected characteristics, level of education, family size, farm size, extension media contact, knowledge on vegetable production and cosmopoliteness showed significant negative correlation and family subsistence pressure showed significant positive correlation with farmers' constraints in commercial cultivation of vegetables. Stepwise multiple regressions showed that extension media contact, cosmopoliteness and knowledge on vegetable production had greater influence on farmers' constraints.

“…The estimated value means that farmers' preference for using USG in Boro rice production is 0.061 unit higher in case of having extension contact compared to other condition while holding all other variables in the model constant. The results are quite similar with Basak and Pandit (2011) where the authors showed that level of education, farm size, annual income, farming information, agricultural training exposure and rice farming knowledge of the farmers' had significant positive relationship but family subsistence pressure had significant negative relationship with their attitude towards the use of USG.…”

The study was examined the profitability of Boro rice production using Urea Super Granule (USG) and traditional urea in Rangpur district of Bangladesh. 60 farmers were selected randomly for the present study. The cultivation of Boro rice was profitable from the viewpoint of the farmers. Per hectare net return for USG user and traditional urea user was Tk. 40264.4 and Tk. 26740.2, respectively. Benefit cost ratio for USG user and traditional urea user was estimated at 1.5 and 1.3, respectively. BCR was higher for USG user because they were efficient producer. Power tiller cost, seed/seedling cost, TSP cost, MoP cost, cowdung cost and irrigation cost; and human labor cost, seed/seedling cost, urea cost, MoP cost, cowdung cost and irrigation cost had significant impact on gross return from Boro rice production for USG and traditional urea user, respectively. Age of farmer, price of USG, soil nutrient availability and extension contact had significant impact on farmers' preference for using USG in Boro rice production. The price of fertilizer should be regulated strictly by the government and extension programs should be arranged in order to motivate farmers for adopting USG use in Boro rice production.

“…One solution could be the split application of USG, using 2 g-USG, either placed at different times (Gaudin 2012) or at different places. But the required labor should be too much and consequently unacceptable by farmers: a single application has already limited success in developing countries (Basak and Pandit 2011). It is worthwhile to mention that during the eighties, FAO's Fertilizer Program in Madagascar performed hundreds of demonstrative plots comparing USG versus prilled urea, in farmers' fields; the yield increase, due to USG, varied from 700 to 1,400 kg/ha; the final result was that, while recognizing the superiority of the USG versus prilled urea, the farmers, unanimously stated that the application of USG was too laborious and consequently expensive: it has practically the same cost as the labor of rice transplantation.…”

Deep placement of urea supergranules in wetland rice (Oryza sativa L.) or correct urea band application enables to protect nitrogen (N) from various loss mechanisms, but recovering of fertilizer N by plants depends upon geometric and agronomic factors. The objective of this study was to characterize the diffusion of ammoniacal N from the two urea sources, point or line application, in a typical paddy soil. A model of ammonia diffusion was developed for the two geometries. The relation between the N application rate and the transplanting geometry was studied in two fields using probes attached to urea supergranule of different mass (2 and 4 g). The transplanting pattern was adapted for obtaining 58 or 116 kg N ha -1 in the 4 g application. The ammoniacal nitrogen concentration was compared to the diffusion model prediction. The values of the diffusion coefficient were found to be 1.160 and 1.107 cm 2 d -1 . Ammonia disappearance below 10 mmol L -1 did not follow the same kinetics in the two treatments corresponding to 4 g application. Relative to the 2 g treatment, root ammonia uptake in the 4 g treatment was delayed and slowed in the classical geometry of 20 cm 9 20 cm (116 kg N ha -1 ) when it was mainly delayed in the geometry provided with 58 kg N ha -1 . This manipulation of the source-sink relationship enables to foresee possibilities for the development of new fertilizers adapted to wetland rice cultivation.
