Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted in six locations to evaluate the pattern based fertilizer recommendation on the productivity of potato mungean-T.Aman rice cropping pattern during 2008-09.there were four treatment viz. T₁= soil test based fertilizer dose for medium yield goal, T₂= STB fertilizer dose for high yield goal, T₃= Integrated Plant Nutrition System for HYG and T₄= Farmers practice. Farmer’s doses for different treatments were estimated based on initial soil test data. The maximum potato yield (24.7 t/ha) was recorded for the treatment T₃ which was statistically similar to T₂ and T₄. In case of mungbean (BARI mung-6), the highest seed yield was also obtained to T₃ and it was statistically similar with T₂ but it differed significantly from other treatments. The highest grain yield of T.Aman rice (BR11) was also recorded from T₃ which was significantly different from all other treatments. The lowest yield was observed with T₁ treatment in all crops. Cost and return analysis showed that the highest gross return (Tk. 34720/ha), net return (Tk. 213642/ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.6) were obtained from IPNS based fertilizer dose and it was followed by STB dose for HYG in the potato mungbean-T.Aman rice cropping pattern.

Objectives:

To evaluate pattern based fertilizer recommendation on the productivity of Potato-Mungbean -T.Aman cropping pattern.

Methodology:

The experiment was set up at the MLT site, Joypurhat during 2008-09. The experiment consisted four treatments with six dispersed replications for of the crops. The fertilizer treatments used in the experiment was based of Bangladesh Agriculture Research Council fertilizer recommendation guide. Before conducting the experiment, soil samples were collected from farmer’s field and chemical analysis was done at SRDI laboratory, Bogra. The experiment was laid out following RCBD. The unit plot size 10 m x 4 m for the whole cropping sequence. Fertilizer doses were estimated with the help of soil analysis value as per treatment concerned. The following four different fertilizer combinations were tested T₁= soil test based fertilizer dose for medium yield goal, T₂= STB fertilizer dose for high yield goal, T₃= Integrated Plant Nutrition System for HYG and T₄= Farmers practice. The full dose of cow dung, TSP, MoP, Gypsum, Zinc sulphate, boric acid and half of urea were applied in potato at the time of final land preparation. Remaining urea was applied at the side row and covered with soil about 30-35 days after planting at the time of earthing up followed by irrigation. In maugbean all fertilizers were broadcast and incorporated at the time of final land preparation. Potato tuber was planted on 25 Nov 2008 with a spacing 60 cm x 25 cm. the potato variety used was Diamante. The crop was harvested on 17 Feb 2009. Seeds of mungbean were BARI mung-6. The crop was harvested on 7 May 2009 from different replications. In T.Aman rice, the full amount of TSP, MoP and gypsum was applied as broad cost and incorporated with soil during final land preparation. Urea was applied in three equal splits such as at 15 days after transplanting, at 30 DAT and 45 DAT. The variety of T.Aman rice was BR11. Forty days old seedlings of T.Aman rice were transplanted on 27 July 2009. A distance of 20 cm row to row and 15 cm from plant to plant was maintained. The crop was harvested on 17 Nov 2009. Intercultural operations were done as and when necessary. Plant protection measures were taken following IPM technique. Data on yield and yield contributing characters of potato, mungbean and T. Aman.

Achievement/Findings:

From the above study, it could be concluded that the treatment T₃ (IPNS) comprising organic and inorganic fertilizers was found agronomic ally viable and economically profitable the potato-mungbean-T.Aman rice cropping pattern in AEZ-25 at Joypurhat area. This type of experiment finding should be validated in more locations before recommendation farmers.
