Development of Alternate Cropping Pattern of Mustard-jute-t.aman in Coastal Area of Satkhira

Chief Scientific Officer & Head, OFRD and Relevant Scientists of OFRD

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at the MLT site, Satkhira during 2014-15 to develop an improved cropping pattern against the farmers’ existing one. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with four dispersed replications. The alternate cropping pattern Mustard-Jute-T.Aman was tested against the farmers existing cropping pattern Fallow-Fallow-T.Aman. Higher grain yield of rice (4.70 t ha^-1) was obtained from Binadhan-7 than that of local variety of rice Jamaibabu (3.95 t ha^-1). In improved cropping pattern (ICP), the yield of mustard (BARI Sarisha-14) and jute (O-9897) were observed as 2.01 and 2.15 t ha^-1, respectively. The ICP recorded higher rice equivalent yield (13.27 t ha^-1) than existing one (3.95 t ha^-1). The ICP also gave the higher gross margin (Tk. 142637 ha^-1) compared to existing cropping pattern (Tk. 5934 ha^-1).

Keywords: Alternate pattern (T.Aman- Mustard-Jute), Existing pattern (Fallow-Fallow-T.Aman), Gross margin, Coastal area

Location: MLT site, Satkhira

Start Date: 00-00-2014

End Date: 00-00-2015

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Mustard, Jute, Rice

Objectives:

To develop an alternate cropping pattern through T.Aman- Mustard-Jute in the coastal area of Satkhira

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the MLT site, Satkhira during 2014-15. The alternate cropping pattern (AP) Mustard-Jute-T.Aman against the farmers’ existing pattern (FP) Fallow-Fallow-T.Aman. The alternate cropping pattern was tested with 4 dispersed replications across the farmers’ field under same land type. The unit plot size was 25 decimal. Recommended fertilizer package (FRG, BARC, 2012) along with the application methods were used for all the crops. Pest management and other intercultural management practices were done to support the normal growth of the crops. Relevant data were taken and analyzed statistically. For economic comparison between two crop sequences, the yield of all crops was converted into rice equivalent yield on the basis of prevailing market price of individual crops (Verma and Modgal, 1983). The economic indices i.e. gross return, gross margin and benefit cost ratio were also calculated on the basis of prevailing market price of input and output i.e. produces.
