Abstract/ Executive Summary:

HYV Boro has displaced a number of major as well as minor crops. This study examines the magnitude and direction of changes in area of HYV Boro and its competitive crops in Bangladesh over the years (1973- 74 to 1934-85). Considering the importance of the crops substituted by HYV Boro particularly the non-cereal crops; more emphasis in research and extension is needed to increase their productivity so that these can be grown profitably like that of HYV Boro.

Keywords: Rice, Boro rice, Other crops

Location: Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council

Start Date: 00-00-1973

End Date: 00-00-1985

Program Area: Socio-economic and Policy

Non-commodity: Impact, Adoption of technology

Objectives:

To increase their productivities so that these can be grown profitably like that of HYV Boro.

Methodology:

The present study is entirely based on Secondary data. Time series data on area under HYV Boro and its competitive crops from 1973-74 to 1984-85 for the whole of Bangladesh were collected from published sources of Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics. For analytical purpose, competitive crops of HYV Boro have been classified into four groups as follows:

Group A: HYV Boro versus Local Boro, HYV Aus, Local Aus, HYV Wheat, Local Wheat and Jute.

Group B: HYV Boro versus Pulses (i. e. Gram, 'Masur', 'Mung'. 'Motor, 'Mashkalai' and 'Khesari').

Group C : HYV Boro versus Winter Til, Mustard (including Rape ).

Group D: HYV Boro versus Spices (i. e. Rabi Chillies, Onion. Garlic and Coriander Seeds).

Both linear and exponential equations which are commonl use.d to explain trend movements and growth rates have bee used in this study. The equations for linear trend line and exponential trend line in time series analysis of the forms:

Y c = a + bt (I) and

Yc = Ae^bt .. ......... (2)

respectively have been used in this study: Here b .stands for trend coefficient in equation (1) and growth rate m equation (2). In both equations t stands for time. After taking log in equation (2) we get:

log Y c = log A + bt

Further to examine relationship between areas under HYV boro and its competitive crops, product moment correlation coefficients were calculated.

Achievement/Findings:

Since HYV Boro is more profitable than its competitive crops. it has displaced a large number of enterprises, particularly non- cereal crops. Considering the importance of its competitive crop, particularly, Jute, Pulses, Oil seeds, etc. more emphasis in research IS needed to find out new HYV s for the crops substituted by HYV Boro, so that these can be grown profitably like that of HYV Bora.
