Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Jute-T. Aman-Rabi crops is often practiced by farmers in different areas of Banagladesh. Especially in Monirampur region, farmers practiced T. Aman-Boro rice- Fallow pattern. After harvesting of Boro rice (BRRI dhan-28) large area remain fallow, where jute can be easily introduced instead of fallow. As a result, cropping intensity will be increased and farmers will be benefited. Farmers generally use imbalance does of chemical fertilizer in cultivation of different crops in this pattern. Their cultivation practice is also traditional in nature. To improve the existing situation, Jute Farming Systems Division has undertaken a programme to introduce cropping pattern Jute-T.Aman-Boro rice involving improved varieties of crops and recommended production packages to this areas.

Keywords: Alternative cropping pattern, Existing farmers’ pattern,Mmedium high land

Location: Jessore

Start Date: 00-00-2013

End Date: 00-00-2014

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Rice, Jute

Objectives:

To find out agro-economic performance of farmers’ alternative (FA) pattern Boro rice-Jute-T. Aman against farmers’ (F) pattern Boro rice-Fallow-T. Aman

Methodology:

An experiment was conducted during the period in 2013-14 crop season to find out agro-economic performance of farmers’ alternative (FA) pattern Boro rice-Jute-T. Aman against farmers’ (F) pattern Boro rice-Fallow-T. Aman in the medium high land of Jessore. RCBD dispersed design was followed with 3 replications in 1000 m2 plot. In FA pattern, improved varieties were used like O-9897 variety of Tossa jute, BRRI dhan 33 variety of T. Aman and BRRI dhan 28 variety of Boro rice. Recommended doses of seed rate (Jute: 6 kg/ha, T. Aman: 26 kg/ha and Boro Rice-28 kg/ha), sowing time (Jute: March-April, T. Aman: July-August and Boro rice: December), fertilizer doses (Jute (Urea-TSP-MP-Gypsum-Zinc Sulphate kg/ha): 125-51-135-145-86-0, T. Aman: 296-147-117-117-0 and Boro rice: 200-120-70-0-0 and other intercultural operations were performed as and when necessary in FA pattern. On the other hand, farmers were used their own choice varieties, seed rate, sowing time, fertilizer dose and other intercultural operations in prevailing Boro rice-Fallow-T. Aman pattern. Return was measured in terms of yield, gross return and net return. Gross return is the value of yield and by product.
