Abstract/ Executive Summary:

In Dhaka region, Boro-Fallow-Fallow and Boro-Fallow-T. Aman is the most dominant cropping pattern. Other major cropping patterns were: Winter vegetables - Summer vegetable-Summer vegetables, Mustard/Boro-Fallow-Fallow, Mustard/Boro-Fallow-T. Aman, Mustard/Boro-Fallow-B. Aman, Boro –Fallow-B.

Aman cropping patterns were the most dominant cropping pattern in medium low land in most of the upazilas. Other major cropping patterns were Mustard/Boro-Fallow-Fallow, Boro-Fallow-B. Aman, Mustard/Boro-Fallow-T. Aman, Potato-Jute-Fallow and Wheat-Jute-Fallow. In lowland, Boro-Fallow-Fallow was the most dominant cropping pattern. Boro-B. Aman, Mustard/Boro-Fallow-Fallow and Potato-Fallow-B. Aman cropping patterns were also major cropping patterns in some upazilas. Boro-Fallow-Fallow was the only cropping pattern in very low land in most of the upazilas.

Keywords: Rice, Dominant cropping pattern, Major constraints

Location: Different Upzillas of Dhaka region

Start Date: 01-07-2007

End Date: 30-06-2008

Program Area: Farming System

Non-commodity: Cropping pattern

Objectives:

To identify major cropping patterns and MV rice coverage under different land types.
To identify variety wise coverage and yield level of MV rice.
To identify major constraints to further adoption of MV rice.
To identify opportunities for increasing cropping intensity and land productivity by identifying fallow period under different cropping patterns.

Methodology:

Information on existing cropping patterns in different land types, their area coverage, status of rice varieties in the patterns in different land types and constraints to further adoption of MV rice varieties and measures to improve cropping patterns in all upazilas of the country is necessary for the Rice Farming Systems scientists and practitioners to identify researchable issues for a specific land type and development agencies to develop plan for undertaking production program either on a commodity or on a system basis. Therefore, a study has been initiated by the Rice Farming Systems Division keeping in mind the related objectives through questionnaire. Questionnaires were sent back to RFSD, which were previously distributed to different upazilas. The information were computerized, processed and analyzed in collaboration with the scientists of Agricultural Statistics Division. Concerned scientist visited the office of Upazila Agriculture Officer (UAO) to meet up any query raise by the analyst during processing and analyzing the collected data.

In Dhaka region, Boro-Fallow-Fallow is the most dominant cropping pattern in Nawabgonj, Dohar, Savar, Bandar, Rupgonj, Raipur, Norsingdi, Gazipur Sadar, Sripur, Kaliakoir, Kaligonj, Sreenagar, Lohjong, Gazaria, Nagarpur, Tangail Sadar upazilas. The Boro-Fallow-Fallow cropping pattern was also found one of the major cropping patterns in Narayangonj Sadar, Sonargaon, Shibpur, Monohardi, Polash, Belabo, Kapasia, Munsigonj Sadar, Sirajdikhan, Gopalpur, Tongibari, Kalihati, Basail, Delduar, Sakhipur, Singair, Ghior, Saturia, Shivalaya and Manikgonj Sadar upazilas. The Boro-Fallow-T. Aman is the most dominant cropping pattern in Shibpur, Monohardi, Polash, Belabo, Kapasia, Modhupur, Gopalpur, Bhuapur, Ghatail, and Sakhipu upazilas. This cropping pattern was also existed as one of the cropping patterns in Savar, Rupgonj, Raipur, Gazipur Sadar, Sripur, Kaliakoir, Kaligonj, Kalihati, Delduar and Saturia upazilas.
