Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Grain yield and yield contributing characters, except days to maturity, of wheat was significantly influenced by the treatments as intercropped with mustard under bed planting system. The highest grain yield of wheat (3,467 kg ha^-1) was obtained from sole wheat treatment followed by one row mustard (30×10 cm) in between two beds of wheat (20×5 cm) (3,284 kg ha^-1) due to intercrop effect within the two crops. The lowest grain yield of wheat (3,160 kg ha^-1) was obtained from the treatment two rows mustard in between two beds of wheat. The highest seed yield of mustard (1,321 kg ha^-1) was obtained from sole mustard treatment followed by two rows mustard in between two beds of wheat. The highest wheat equivalent yield and gross return (4,749 kg ha^-1 and Tk 1,32,972) were obtained from two rows mustard in between to beds of wheat. The maximum BCR was obtained (3.0) from two rows of mustard in between two beds of wheat followed by one row mustard in between two beds of wheat.

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Wheat, Rice, Mustard

Objectives:

This experiment was undertaken to find out the suitable planting system of mustard with wheat for higher productivity.

Methodology:

The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Wheat seeds were sown on 15 November 2014 by a bed planter and mustard seeds were sown in between two beds of wheat on the same day manually. Wheat variety was BARI Gom 28, and mustard variety was BARI Sarisha 15. There were four treatments viz., T₁ = sole wheat, T₂= sole mustard, T₃= one row mustard in between two beds of wheat, and T₄ = two rows mustard in between two beds of wheat. Recommend doses of fertilizers for wheat were used. Two-third of urea and full doses of TSP, MoP, gypsum and boron were applied as basal during final land preparation and rest of the urea was applied during 1^st irrigation after 21 days of sowing during crown root initiation. Two more irrigation were applied during booting and grain filling stage. Weeding and thinning were done as and when necessary. Each crop was harvested at full maturity stage. Data were collected on yield and yield contributing characters and was analyzed statistically with MSTAT-C programme.

Achievement/Findings:

Grain yield and yield contributing characters, except days to maturity, of wheat were significantly influenced by the treatments as intercropped with mustard under bed planting system. The highest grain yield (3,467 kg ha^-1) was obtained from sole wheat treatment followed by two rows mustard (30×10 cm) (3,248 kg ha^-1) in between two bed planting of wheat (20×5 cm) due to intercrop effect within the two crops. The lowest grain yield (3,160 kg ha^-1) of wheat was obtained from the treatment two rows mustard in between two bed planting of wheat due to intercrop mustard with wheat. Significant difference was observed in yield and yield contributing characters of mustard due to intercropp with wheat under bed planting system except plant height. The highest seed yield of mustard (1,321 kg ha^-1) was obtained from sole mustard treatment followed by two rows mustard in between two beds of wheat due to less population of mustard. The highest wheat equivalent yield and gross return (4,749 kg ha^-1 and Tk 1,32,972) was obtained from two rows mustard in between two beds of wheat. The highest BCR was obtained (3.0) from two rows mustard in between two bed planting of wheat due to less competition between two crops.

The highest wheat equivalent yield (4,749 kg ha^-1) and net return (Tk 88,722) with higher BCR (3.0) was obtained from two rows mustard in between two beds of wheat cropping system. So two rows mustard may be suggested for intercropping in bed planting system.
