Title: Socio-economic impact and profitability of liming by dolochun on vegetable production in acidic soil of Sreepur, Gazipur
Abstract: Impact of dolochun in terms of changes in yield and profitability of selected vegetables were studied. Sreepur upazila of Gazipur district was the location of this study. Sixty respondents were selected as the sample of the study by using proportionate random sampling technique. Data were collected with the help of an interview schedule. Statistical measures such as mean, number, percentage, standard deviation and t-test were administered to express result. Production of bitter gourd, snake gourd, red amaranth and ladies finger increased significantly and return found from the yield of those selected vegetables also increase significantly after adoption of dolochun technology. The benefit cost ratio (BCR) of selected vegetables such as bitter gourd, snake gourd, red amaranth and ladies finger was found 2.50, 2.41, 2.24 & 2.39 after application of dolochun before that it was 2.12, 2.09, 1.98 & 2.14 respectively. The study reflects that dolochun application can improve the yield efficiency and will help to increase profitability of the farmers.
Key Words: Vegetable, Soil acidity, Dolochun, Yield and Profitabiliy
