The study was initiated during the rabi season of 2017-2018 in Godagari and Tanore upazila of Rajshahi district, Sapaher upazila of Naogaon district (under draught prone area), and Kuakata of Patuakhali district under saline prone area. Three water saving irrigation technologies named drip fertigation, alternate furrow irrigation (AFI) and deficit irrigation were demonstrated for rabi crops like tomato, potato and wheat in drought prone area and watermelon, maize and sunflower in saline prone area. Nine farmers from drought prone area and ten farmers from saline prone area were selected to disseminate water saving technologies. Marketable yield of tomato in drip irrigation system is found highest (59.58 t/ha) followed by alternate furrow irrigation methods (56.76 t/ha). Water saved of tomato in furrow, alternate furrow and drip irrigation method which was found 19.82%, 47.3% and 55.8%, respectively over farmers practice. The highest yield of potato was found (34.56 t/ha) in alternate furrow irrigation method followed by furrow irrigation (32.44 t/ha) method. The percentage of irrigation water saved of potato in alternate furrow irrigation and furrow irrigation method was 44.20% and 22.05%, respectively compared to farmers practice. The highest fruit yield of watermelon in all three trials (38.12 t/ha, 35.46 t/ha and 40.13 t/ha, respectively) were found in fertigation treatment. Water saved in drip fertigation in watermelon was about 21%, 23% and 19%, respectively compared to the farmers practice. The difference of grain yield of maize between furrow and alternate furrow method was only about 0.6-2.4%, which is very negligible. However, the amount of irrigation water applied was around 27-36% less in alternate furrow irrigation than that of every furrow irrigation in maize. Yield of sunflower was found higher in every furrow irrigation compared to alternate furrow irrigation but yield gap was marginal. Water productivity of sunflower was found higher (about 28% to 32%) in alternate furrow irrigation method than that of every furrow irrigation method. From the one year results it was found that the given water saving technologies performed better in all of the sites, therefore, farmers’ responses were found positive. However, the dissemination program need to be continued in a greater scale to popularize these technologies among the local farmers.

Objectives

  • To up-scale BARI developed water saving irrigation technologies for crop production at farmers level.
  • To increase the crop production and reduce irrigation water use in saline and drought prone areas of Bangladesh
  • To improve the livelihood of the local farmers in the selected regions 

The study was initiated during the rabi season of 2017-2018 in Godagari and Tanore upazila of Rajshahi district and Sapaher upazila of Naogaon district under draught prone area and Kuakata of Patuakhali district under saline prone area. Prior to the selection of the sites, a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was done with elite and progressive farmers of Godagari and Tanore upazila of Rajshahi district and Sapaher upazila of Naogaon district in Barind area and Kuakata of Patuakhali district to collect qualitative data and to select appropriate crops for dissemination of BARI developed water savings technologies. The FGD was enriched with the presence of number of scientists and scientific associates of Irrigation and Water Management Division of BARI and On Farm Research Division of Barind, Rajshahi and On Farm Research Division of Patuakhali representatives from the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE). Nine farmers from drought prone area and ten farmers from saline prone area were selected to disseminate water saving technologies which is shown.

More than one bigha (0.1336 ha) of land was selected for each farmer trial. Sowing and harvesting dates of different crop under different treatments are presented. For each crops, recommended doses of fertilizers were used and standards cultural practices were followed. At maturity stage, all crops were harvested manually to determine grain yield. Data on yield and yield contributing characters were recorded. Amount of irrigation water was calculated and finally total water use and water productivity was determined for treatments. Water productivity (WP) was calculated by the following formula: WY = P/SWU.

where, WP        = Water productivity, kg/m3

            Y         = Grain yield kg/m2

SWU    = Seasonal water use in the crop field (m)

This is the first-year upscaling program on using water saving technology for crop production in saline and drought prone area. More upscaling program is needed on water saving technologies for non-rice crop cultivation to save our water resources. So, this program proposed to be continued in large scale in the saline and drought prone area and also the other area of the country to save irrigation water for crop production.
