Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The results revealed that mean grain yield of Binadhan-7 (4.67 t ha^-1) and Binadhan-8 (4.70 t ha^-1) was similar. Among the wheat lines/variety, Prodip yielded higher (4.00 t ha^-1). Second highest grain yield was produced by L-880-01 (3.13 t ha^-1). Among the lines/variety, L-880-05 matures in 114 days and Prodip matures in 119 days.

Keywords: Cropping pattern, Boro rice and yield

Location: Farmers field of Satkhira

Start Date: 25-07-2013

End Date: 20-04-2014

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Rice, Wheat

Objectives:

The objective was to increase cropping intensity of saline area. Wheat seeds were sown seven days before the harvest of T.aman.

Methodology:

Four wheat lines/varieties were evaluated as relay cropping with T.aman rice varieties at farmers field of Satkhira during 2013-14. T. aman varieties were Binadhan-7 and Binadhan-8 and wheat lines/varieties were, L-880-43, L-880-01, L-880-05 and prodip (Check). The experiment was laid out as factorial randomized complete block design with three replications. The unit plot was 4 m × 3 m. Thirty days-old seedlings were transplanted @ 2-3 seedlings hill^-1 with a planting spacing of 20 cm x 15 cm on August 25, 2013. For T.aman cultivation, the recommended doses of fertilizers were applied. All fertilizers except urea were applied at final land preparation in full amount. Urea was applied in two splits- 50% at 7 days after transplanting (DAT) and rest 50% at 30 DAT. For wheat cultivation, only recommended doses of urea were top dressed after 30 days after sowing. The crops were harvested at different dates at maturity and data on yield and yield components were recorded at harvest and were statistically analyzed following the design used for the experiment and the means were compared with LSD.

Achievement/Findings:

Study of relay cropping of wheat with T.aman rice showed positive indication for the farmers of saline areas. The results revealed that mean grain yield of Binadhan-7 (4.67 t ha^-1) and Binadhan-8 (4.70 t ha^-1) was similar. Among the wheat lines/variety, Prodip yielded higher (4.00 t ha^-1) than the advance lines.
