Abstract

The AIDS pandemic has caused global concern what with its threat to man’s survival and the enormous cost to prevent and treat the illness. No effective cure is possible but for the last fifteen years, countless studies were made to improve survival, delay disease progression or just improve the quality of life. Various clinical trials were designed to inhibit specific processes that are necessary for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to survive the internal milieu. As important as these discoveries, are the precise methods of measuring the impact of these treatments. Only in the last five years has there been a better understanding of these processes and methods.

Abstract

Despite the concerted efforts of successive governments in Sri Lanka to popularize coconut-based intercropping (CBI) systems, an intensive land use alternative to traditional less intensive coconut monocropping, its adoption by farmers is as low as 25% of the agronomically potential area of 100,000 ha. Although the adoption of an innovation is influenced by a range of determinants which can be broadly categorized as technical, economic, institutional and personal/social, economic profitability of the technology itself is one of the key determinants influencing its adoption. This study assesses the economics of widely practiced five different CBI systems vis-a-vis coconut monocropping, employing five economic indicators, namely Total Gross Margin (TGM), Net Present Value (NPV), Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR), returns to labor and returns to capital. Data were collected by a field survey of 113 intercroppers and 37 monocroppers conducted from March to May 1995 in three main coconut growing districts in Sri Lanka, namely: Gampaha; Kurunegala; and, Puttalam. Results revealed that all the CBI systems give higher returns per hectare than coconut monocrops, though some of the indicators, namely BCR and returns to variable costs, are reasonably attractive for monocrop coconuts, albeit they are less than for some CBI systems. The study concluded that the low rate of adoption of CBI systems is not a problem of low profitability. Hence, it is worthwhile to explore the other factors typically influencing the adoption of production technologies to find out the reasons for low adoption of CBI

Abstract

A Tall x Tall coconut genotype resistant to basal stem rot (Ganoderma) disease has been developed for the first time in India. The resistant coconut genotype registered higher survival rate, growth characters and nut yield in disease endemic area. It contains more amount of phenolics, lignin, amino nitrogen and lesser amount of sugars which may be the factors responsible for the disease resistance.

Abstract

A new product using farm wastes from coconut plantation is being developed as an alternative building material. The product, coir-wood-cement board (CWCB), is made from husk fiber of coir and shredded sapling or excelsior that are mixed separately with cement at a predetermined ratio of 70% cement to 15% coir excelsior by weight basis. Mixture of saturated coir/excelsior and cement is mat-formed and pressed to the desired thickness and then conditioned by air-drying to produce CWCB. Its dimension is 61 cm wide and 244 cm long with thickness ranging from 8 mm to 25 mm CWCB meets the strength requirements set by PHILSA standard specification for particleboard (PHILSA 106, 1975). It is being service-tested as an alternative material for expensive construction materials such as plywood, particleboard and cement hollow blocks. It has been found suitable for such uses as exterior/interior walls, partition panel and ceiling of building as well as furniture components such as table top and cabinet siding. Production of CWCB needs the major equipment/machinery such as decorticating machine, shredding machine, blending machine, hydraulic press, trimmer and lifter. Except for lifter, these machines can be designed and fabricated locally. Estimated total investment cost of PhP 3.76 million is needed to establish a CWCB plant that includes equipment, land rental, building and working capital. About 37,500 boards can be produced every year with internal rate of return of 35.20% and payback period of 2.68 years.

Abstract

Coconut-Based Mixed Farming System which evolved from the Central Plantation Crops Research Institute is one of the technologies recommended for sustainable coconut production. The economic analysis of this system for the period 1989-90 to 1997-98, realized a net return between Rs. 49,700 to Rs. 126,900. The Cash Flow Analysis preformed using a discount rate of 14% realized the Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR) of 1.36, the Net Present Worth of the system was Rs.286,500,, the Internal Rate of Return was 27.44%, and, the Pay Back Period was five years.
