Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The present study was conducted at Jessore region (Jhikargacha & Monirampur, Jessore and Kaligonj, Jhinaidah and Bheramara, Kushtia) in the farmers field for the validation of growing pea (BARI Motorshuti-3) as vegetable crop in the T.aman- Pea -Boro rice cropping pattern under upland condition during 2014-2015. It was found that BARI Motorshuti-3 in the pattern has produced an extra crop without disturbing the existing T. Aman –boro pattern. Rice equivalent yield of pea pod was calculated using value of pea pod @ Tk 35/Kg and corresponding value of rice @ Tk 15/kg. Thus the average total productivity of the improved patterns of other 3 locations was 20.54 t/ha of rice and that of existing pattern was 11.40 t/ha which means that inclusion of pea in the pattern increased the total productivity by 80% over the existing pattern. The BCR of the improved pattern was also higher (1.77) than the existing pattern (1.38).

Keywords: Pea, Cropping pattern, T. aman, BCR

Location: Jessore region (Jhikargacha & Monirampur, Jessore and Kaligonj, Jhinaidah and Bheramara, Kushtia)

Start Date: 00-00-2014

End Date: 00-00-2015

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Pea, Rice

Objectives:

The present study was, therefore undertaken for the validation of growing pea (BARI Motorshuti-3) as vegetable crop in the T.aman- Pea -Boro rice cropping pattern under upland condition of Jessore region.

Methodology:

The program was conducted at Jessore region (Jhikargacha & Monirampur, Jessore and Kaligonj, Jhinaidah and Bheramara, Kushtia) during 2014-15 in farmer’s condition. Unit Plot size was 1 bigha (0.13 ha) per location. Production time schedules of T.aman rice (BRRI dhan 39), Pea (BARI Motorsuti-3) and Boro rice (BRRI dhan 28) cropping pattern. The fertilizer dose of BRRI dhan 39 was 85, 45, 26, 14 and 2.7 kg/ha of NPKS and Zn, respectively. For field pea (BARI Motorsuti-3) was sown after harvesting of T.aman rice (BRRI dhan 39) with proper land preparation. Fertilizers @ 14-20-20-10 kg/ha of NPKS, respectively were applied during final land, preparation. Seed rate of 200 kg/ha was used. The seeds were soaked for 8 hours before sowing. Seeds were sown in line with 20 cm spacing. Normal cultural practices were followed. Green pods were harvested at 2 installments and finally green plants were harvested as fodder. Data on yield attributes were collected. BARIMoturshuti-3 was completely harvested by last week of January’15 except Kushtia where it was harvested on 12 January and following it Boro rice was planted by 1^st week of February’15 and in Kushtia it was planted on 18 January’15.

Achievement/Findings:

From the above study, the results revealed that BARI Motorshuti- 3 is easily fitted in T.aman-Fallow-Boro rice pattern. It produces rice equivalent yield almost equal to boro rice with much less cultivation cost and irrigation cost. Inclusion of one legume crop in rice-rice system which will improve productivity as well as improve soil health. Therefore the pattern should be promoted where possible. However, BARI Motoshuti-3 should be planted within 2^nd week of November with higher seed rate (225 kg/ha) and closer spacing (20 cm).
