Abstract/ Executive Summary:

In the Binadhan-4 rice based cropping patterns, mustard cv. Binasarisha-5 had produced significantly higher yield (1.8 t ha^-1). Rice (cv. Binadhan-4)-Mustard (cv. Binasarisha-5) - Sesame (cv. Binatil-1) appeared most profitable with a net return of Tk 69175 and benefit cost ratio is 2.28 of all the altered cropping patterns. The rice cv. Binadhan-4-Groundnut (cv.Binachinabadam-2) cropping patterns indicated second highest return (Tk. 64210) with a similar benefit cost ratio is (2.25). In contrast, the existing cropping pattern: BRRIdhan-39-Fallow-BRRIdhan-28 (used as check) showed very low return: Tk. 44925 with lower BCR value was 1.97. Moreover, the existing cropping resulted 200% cropping intensity much less than the altered pattern, 300% cropping intensity.

Keywords: Cropping pattern, Saline areas

Location: Farmers field of Sathkhira

Start Date: 00-07-2004

End Date: 00-07-2005

Program Area: Farming System

Non-commodity: Performance

Objectives:

The objective was to develop location specific system based technologies

Methodology:

Two altered rice based cropping patterns were performed during July 2004 to July 2005 cropping season with the existing cropping pattern under saline prone area at Sathkhira, Bangladesh. The two altered and the existing patterns under the study were: Altered pattern-I-a. Rice (cv. Binadhan-4) - Mustard (cv. Binasarisha-4) - Rice (cv. Iratom-24), b. Rice (cv. Binadhan-4) - Mustard (cv. Binasarisha-5) –Sesame (cv. Binatil-1). Altered pattern-II-Rice (cv. Binadhan-4) - Groundnut (cv. Binachinabadam-2). A. Rice (cv. Binadhan-4) - Groundnut (cv. Binachinabadam-3). Existing cropping pattern-Rice (cv. BRRdhan-39) – Fallow - Rice (cv. BRRIdhan-28)

Achievement/Findings:

Satkhira area Four cropping patterns assessed in saline Satkhira area using BINA varieties: (i) Binadhan-4-Binasarisha-4-Iratom-24; (ii) Binadhan-4-Binasarisha-5-Binatil-1; (iii) Binadhan-4- Binachinabadam-2 and (iv) Binadhan-4-Binachinabadam-3 against the existing pattern. All the four cropping patterns using BINA varieties resulted in higher net return and BCR than existing one. However, the pattern Binadhan-4-Binasarisha-5- Binatil-1 produced be the highest net return (Tk.69175) and BCR (2.28) with the cropping intensity of 300%.
