| Abstract | Adverse effects of pesticide and chemical fertilizers, using in all processes of rice cultivation, have been in environment and human, especially in cost for environment improvement and health care. However, little previous study focused on environment improvement including biodiversity of health determinant. The purpose of this study was to compare incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) between untreated and treated pesticide application in rice field. The study included untreated and treated rice fields in Ubon Ratchathani Province, Northeast of Thailand to study biodiversity in soil. Then, one hundred and seventy farmers were interviewed on the possible soil improvement from processes of rice cultivation. Data analysis included descriptive statistic, sensitivity analysis, and mean difference (MD) between groups. The results showed that meanof cost for soil improvement was 8,412.63 ? 172.37 baht. ICER on untreated sites was higher than treated sites. The findings showed that cost of rice cultivation in untreated site was more effective than that of treated site. Recommendations of this study were to encourage Thai farmers for reducing pesticide application and suggest to the policy maker to promote organic farming campaign along with local and national level. |
