The experiments were conducted at the Central Jute Research Station of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute ( BJRI), Manikganj, Bangladesh, during 2003 to 2006. The crops were potato (Solanum tuberosum L., vr. Diamond), wheat (Triticum aestivum L., vr. Showrov), jute (Corchorus olitorius L., vr. OM-I), broadcast aus rice (Oryza sativa L., vr. BRRI Dhan-24) and transplanted aman rice (Oryza sativa L., vr. BRRI Dhan-33). Different cropping patterns including and/or excluding jute were used as treatments. Two sets of experiments were conducted separately with potato and wheat as base crop in rabi season. The experimental field was divided into two parts. One part of the field was selected to find out the effect of jute cultivation on potato based cropping sequences and second one for wheat based cropping sequences. Unit plot size was 6 m X 6 m having 1 m distance between adjacent plots. Four cropping sequences and three years were used in split plot design where years were in main plot and cropping sequences were in s ub-plots. Four replication were included for each treatment. The treatments (cropping pattern s) for potato based experiment were Potato - Jute - T. aman (Tl), Potato - B. aus - T. aman (T2), Potato - Fallow- T. aman (T3), and Fallow- Jute- T. aman (T4) and the rate of applied nutrients for those treatment combinations were 160-30-120-20, 90-10-30-20, 90-20-40-15 (TI) , 160-30- 120-20, 60-20-35-15, 90-20-40-15 (T2), 160-30- 120-20, 00-00-00-00, 90-20-40-15 (T3), and 00-00-00-00, 90- l0-30-20, 90-20-40-15 (T4) N-P-K-S kg/ha, respectively. The treatments for wheat-based experiment were Wheat - Jute - T. aman (TI), Wheat- B. aus-T. aman (T2), Wheat - Fallow-T. aman (T3) and Fallow- Jute-T. aman (T4) and the rate or applied nutrients for those treatment combinations were 110-30-60-20, 90-10-30-20, 90-20-40-15 (Tl), 110-30-60-20, 60-20-35-15, 90-20-40-15 (T2), II 0-30-60-20, 00-00-00-00, 90-20-40-15 (T3), and 00-00-00-00, 90-10-30-20, 90-20-40-15 (T4) N-P-K-S kg/ha, respectively. Nutrients were applied as per Fertilizer Recommendation Guide of Bangladesh Agriculture Research Council (BARC, 1997) Urea, triple supper phosphate (TSP), murate or potash (MP) and gypsum were used to provide nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and sulphur, respectively. Management and agronomic practices were performed according to the recommendation made by BARI (1998) for potato, BARI (2000) for wheat, BJRI (200I) for jute and B RRI (2000) for broadcast aus rice and transplanted aman rice. Yield data i .e. product and by-product of individual crop were recorded. Collected data were analyzed statistically (MSTAT, 2002)
