Abstract/ Executive Summary:

At Nachole, it could be observed that the pattern Rice (cv. Binadhan-4)-Chickpea (cv. Binasola-4)-Summer mungbean (cv. Binamoog-5) appeared profitable as an altered cropping pattern with a net return of Tk 73860 per hectare with a benefit cost ratio 2.64. In contrast, the existing pattern, locally adapted rice cv. Sarna-Fallow-Fallow resulted in very low net return of Tk. 22910 with a lower BCR estimate 2.13 and the least cropping intensity (100%) while cropping intensity in alternated cropping pattern using BINA varieties was 300%. At Tanore, it is observed that the test pattern Rice (cv. Binadhan-4)-Chickpea (cv. Binasola-4)-Summer mungbean (cv. Binamoog-5) appeared most profitable as an altered cropping pattern with net return of Tk 72460 with a benefit cost ratio 2.61. In contrast, the existing pattern, locally adapted rice cv. Sarna-Fallow-Fallow resulted very low return of all Tk. 24610 with lower BCR estimate 2.21 and its cropping intensity was only 100% compared to the alternated cropping pattern whose intensity was 300%. On the other hand, at Godagari, it is observed that the proposed pattern rice (cv. Binadhan-4)-Chickpea (cv. Binasola-4)-Summer mungbean (cv. Binamoog-5) was the most profitable cropping pattern with a net return of Tk 76460 with benefit cost ratio 2.7. In contrast, the existing pattern, locally adapted rice cv. Sarna-Fallow-Fallow resulted in very low net return Tk. 22810 with lower BCR value 2.12 and the least cropping intensity 100%) compared to cropping intensity of 300% of the alternated pattern tested.

Keywords: Development, Altered cropping pattern, Drought prone agriculture, Nachole, Tanore and Godagari

Location: Farmers field of Nachole, Tanore and Godagari

Start Date: 00-07-2004

End Date: 00-06-2005

Program Area: Farming System

Non-commodity: Performance

Objectives:

The objective was to develop location specific system based technologies

Methodology:

Rice–based cropping patterns using BINA varieties were assessed at three drought prone locations of the Barind tract at Nachole, Tanore and Godagari (North-western part) during July 2004 to June 2005 cropping season with the existing cropping pattern. The altered and the existing patterns of the study were: Altered pattern: Rice (cv. Binadhan-4)-Chickpea (cv. Binasola-4)-Summer mungbean (cv. Binamoog-5) and Existing cropping pattern: Rice (cv. Sarna)-Fallow-Fallow.

Achievement/Findings:

Rice–based cropping patterns at three locations viz. Nachole, Tanore and Godagari were evaluated using BINA varieties. The pattern Binadhan-4- Binasola-4- Binamoog-5 against the existing pattern. The proposed cropping patterns using BINA varieties resulted in higher net return and BCR than existing one and BCR, respectively at Nachole, Tanore and Godagari.
