Abstract

The study assessed the volume and value of postharvest losses of cucumber in Rajshahi, Rangpur and Bandarban districts of Bangladesh. The survey covered 180 cucumber farmers. Multistage stratified random sampling technique was used to select the respondents. Postharvest loss was calculated by evaluating the quantitative and qualitative losses of cucumber. Among the respondents 71% were belonged to small farm size category followed by medium (21%) and marginal farm size category (6%). Average per hectare postharvest loss was 3929 kg in the survey areas. Postharvest loss was found highest in Rangpur (5781kg) followed by Rajshahi (4075kg) and Bandarban (1931kg). Total postharvest loss was 51.79% due to complete physical damage and the rest (48.21%) was due to partial physical damage. Sorting and grading stages accounted to 27.52% and 24.98% respectively were responsible for complete physical damage and partial physical damage. The least postharvest loss (3.61%) was due to storing of cucumber, whereas the highest loss (24.03%) was due to insect infestation. Besides, rotten and skinning causes for complete and partial physical damages of cucumber in Rajshahi district, where it was due to insect infestation in Bandarban and Rangpur district. The farmer of Rangpur district spent 81720 per hectare of cucumber cultivation, whereas it was Tk. 62354 and Tk. 34826 Rajshahi and Bandarban district respectively. Bangladesh J. Agril.

孟加拉国选定地区农场层面黄瓜生产的采后损失
该研究评估了孟加拉国Rajshahi、Rangpur和Bandarban地区黄瓜采后损失的数量和价值。该调查覆盖了180名黄瓜种植者。调查采用多阶段分层随机抽样方法。通过对黄瓜的定量和定性损失进行评价,计算采后损失。在受访者中,71%属于小型农场,其次是中型农场(21%)和边际农场规模类别(6%)。调查地区收获后每公顷平均损失为3929公斤。收获后损失最高的是Rangpur(5781公斤),其次是Rajshahi(4075公斤)和Bandarban(1931公斤)。采后损失中,完全物理损伤占51.79%,部分物理损伤占48.21%。分选阶段和分级阶段对完全物理损伤和部分物理损伤的贡献率分别为27.52%和24.98%。采后损失最小的是贮藏,为3.61%,最大的是虫害,为24.03%。此外,腐烂剥皮导致Rajshahi地区黄瓜的完全和部分物理损伤,其中Bandarban和Rangpur地区是由于虫害造成的。Rangpur地区的农民每公顷黄瓜种植花费为81720塔卡,而Rajshahi和Bandarban地区的农民每公顷黄瓜种植花费分别为62354塔卡和34826塔卡。孟加拉国J.
