Abstract/ Executive Summary:

To increase the systems productivity by inclusion of fruits or vegetables that require less water compare to rice, the study was conducted at FSR&D site Jagatpur, Habiganj Sadar in three dispersed farmers’ fields during 2012-13. From this study, range of rice equivalent yield (REY) of Water melon-T. Aus-T. Aman pattern, Khira- T. Aus-T. Aman pattern and Fallow-T. Aus-T. Aman patterns were 12.42 t/ha, 9.83 t/ha and 9.71 t/ha, respectively. The gross margin was 105560, 61940 and 91980 Tk/ha from Water melon-T. Aus-T. Aman pattern, Khira- T. Aus-T. Aman pattern and Fallow-T. Aus-T. Aman patterns, respectively.

Keywords: System productivity, Cropping pattern, Rice, Fruits/vegetables

Location: FSR&D site Jagatpur, Habiganj

Start Date: 00-00-2012

End Date: 00-00-2013

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Water melon, Rice

Objectives:

To increase the systems productivity by inclusion of fruits or vegetables that require less water compare to rice.

Methodology:

Fallow-T. Aus-T. Aman cropping pattern is the major cropping pattern of Habiganj FSRD site. In this pattern, there are no crops in Rabi season due to shortage of irrigation facilities. For this reason, system productivity is comparatively low. To increase the systems productivity by inclusion of fruits or vegetables that require less water compare to rice, the study was conducted at FSR&D site Jagatpur, Habiganj Sadar in three dispersed farmers’ fields during 2012-13. Each farmer’s field was considered as one replication. Three patterns: i) Water melon-T. Aus-T. Aman, ii) Khira- T. Aus-T. Aman and iii) Fallow-T. Aus-T. Aman (existing) were evaluated in each dispersed farmer’s field. The varieties were BRRI dhan46 for T. Aman, Diana for water melon and century for Khira.

Achievement/Findings:

Systems productivity by inclusion of fruits or vegetables was encouraging to farmers. Rice equivalent yield of Water melon-T. Aus-T. Aman pattern, Khira- T. Aus-T. Aman pattern and Fallow-T. Aus-T. Aman patterns were 12.42 t/ha, 9.83 t/ha and 9.71 t/ha, respectively. The pattern Water melon-T. Aus-T. Aman gave about 15% gross margin over the check pattern, Fallow-T. Aus-T. Aman.
