Development of Alternate Cropping Pattern Garden Pea-boro-t.aman Against Fallow-boro- T.aman Rice Cropping Pattern

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

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at the MLT site of Bheramara upazilla under Kushtia district during 2014-15 in the farmers’ field to study the feasibility of growing garden pea as vegetable crop (cash crop) in the T.Aman–Garden pea – Boro rice cropping pattern. BARI Motorshooti-3 was well fitted as vegetable (pod) in the cropping pattern T.Aman – Fallow – Boro rice. Gross margin of alternate and existing cropping pattern were Tk.232995 and Tk. 103131ha^-1, respectively.

Keywords: Alternate cropping pattern, Existing pattern , Gross margin, Garden pea

Location: MLT site, Bheramara upazilla,Kushtia district

Start Date: 00-00-2014

End Date: 00-00-2015

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Pea, Rice

Objectives:

To study the feasibility of growing field pea as vegetable crop (cash crop) in the T.Aman - Pea - Boro rice cropping pattern under up land condition.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the MLT site of Bheramara upazilla under Kushtia district during 2014-15 under farmers’ field condition. A discussion meeting was arranged at the start for the cooperating farmers involved in the program. Plot size was 0.13 ha in one replication. The existing cropping pattern (F) was T.Aman-Fallow -Boro and Alternate cropping pattern(FA) was T.Aman-Garden pea-Boro. Activities of T.Aman were same in both the patterns. The fertilizer dose of BRRI dhan39 was 113-45-37-14-0.64 kg, N-P-K-S-- B ha^-1, in both the patterns. All intercultural operations were done as and when necessary. For BARI Motorshooti-3, seeds were sown on 10.11.2014 in broadcast method. Weeding and other intercultural practices were done as and when necessary. Fertilizer was applied @ 14-20-20-10 kg N-P-K-S ha^-1 in pea. All fertilizers were applied as basal. First and 2nd pod picking were done on 08.1.15 and 12.1.15, respectively. In Boro season BRRI dhan28 was cultivated in both existing and alternate cropping pattern. Seedlings were transplanted on 15.1.2015 and 18.1.2015 for existing and alternate cropping pattern, respectively . The harvesting dates of existing and alternate cropping pattern were 10.5.2015 and 12.5.2015, respectively. The dose of fertilizer of BRRI dhan28 was 94 -31-24-11-1 kg N-P-K-S -B ha^-1, respectively for alternate cropping pattern. While in existing cropping pattern, the dose was 117-37-37-14-2.69 kg, N-P-K-S Zn ha^-1.

Achievement/Findings:

The alternate cropping pattern (Garden pea-Boro-T.Aman) was found to be profitable to the farmers because, BARI Motorshooti-3 could be easily fitted in the T.Aman-Fallow-Boro rice pattern. This output might be demonstrated for wide scale extension through block approach.
