Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A study was conducted at Sreepur, Gazipur under Madhupur Tracts soils during the cropping season 2007-2008 where sole paired row cane (PRC) and PRC with potato, onion, garlic and mustard as 1st intercrcp and mungbean as 2nd intercrop were grown. PRC with potato-mungbean combination was recorded highest in respect of cane yield (122.8 t/ha), adjusted cane yield (210.74 t/ha), gross return (Tk 339291), gross margin (Tk 220500) and benefit cost ratio (1.86) followed by PAC with onion-mungbaan and PAC with garlic mungbean intercrcp combination. Highest no of tiller (134.3x103ha^-1 and millable cane stalks (74.49x103ha^-1 ware obtained in PRC with onion mungbean intercrop combination. All of the four intercrop combination performed better over sole paired row sugarcane in respect of total adjusted cane yield. Cultivation of those inlercrops with paired row sugarcane generated an additional income from the same field. Therefore, intercropping high valued rabi crops like potato, onion, garlic and mustard as 1st inlercrop and summer mungbean as 2nd intercrop with paired row sugarcane was found profitable intercropping practice with sugarcane for Madhupur Tract areas.

Keywords: Sugarcane, lntercrop, High valued crops, Paired row

Location: Sreepur, Gazipur

Start Date: 00-00-2007

End Date: 00-00-2008

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Sugarcane, Mungbean

Objectives:

To find out the performance of some selected intercrops as first followed by summer mungbean as second intercrop in paired row planting system of sugarcane in Madhupur Tract areas.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Sreepur, Gazipur belongs to Madhupur Tract soils of AEZ 28 under irrigated condition during the cropping season 2007-2008 following RCBD and replicated three limes. The unit plot size was 8mx7m. After final land preparation, two budded sells of variety BSRI Akh 41 (Amrita) were planted on 26 October, 2007 at 25cm distance in paired row of 60 cm apart while the distance between two paired rows of cane was 140 cm. All intercultural operations and fertilization were done as BSRI recommended packages. The treatments were included in the experiments were as follows: T_o - Paired row cane, T₁ - PRC + Potato followed by Mungbean T₂ - PRC +Onion followed by Mungbean T₃- PRC +Garlic Mungbean and T₄ - PRC +Mustard followed by Mungbean Four winter crops viz. potato (Solanum tuberosum), onion (Allium cepa), garlic (Allium sativum) and mustard (Brassica campestris) were grown as first intercrop followed by a second intercrop summer mungbean (Vigna radiate). Collection of various data on yield and yield contributing characteristics lor cane and intercrop were done. The adjusted cane yield for the intercropped plot was calculated by adding the cane yield. The average values of all parameters were analyzed statistically. Economic and statistical analysis on different parameters for sugarcane and intercrops were done following standard procedures.

Achievement/Findings:

All of the four intercrop combination performed better over sole paired row sugarcane in respect of total adjusted cane yield. Cultivation of those inlercrops with paired row sugarcane generated an additional income from the same field. Therefore, intercropping high valued rabi crops like potato, onion, garlic and mustard as 1st inlercrop and summer mungbean as 2nd intercrop with paired row sugarcane was found profitable intercropping practice with sugarcane for Madhupur Tract areas.
