摘要：Adverse effects of pesticide and chemical fertilizers, using in all processes of rice cultivation, havebeen in environment and human, especially in cost for environment improvement and healthcare. However, little previous study focused on environment improvement including biodiversityof health determinant. The purpose of this study was to compare incremental cost-effectivenessratio (ICER) between untreated and treated pesticide application in rice field. The study includeduntreated and treated rice fields in Ubon Ratchathani Province, Northeast of Thailand to studybiodiversity in soil. Then, one hundred and seventy farmers were interviewed on the possiblesoil 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 higherthan treated sites. The findings showed that cost of rice cultivation in untreated site was moreeffective than that of treated site. Recommendations of this study were to encourage Thai farmersfor reducing pesticide application and suggest to the policy maker to promote organic farmingcampaign along with local and national level.
