Abstract/ Executive Summary:

In greater Kustia district, Boro-Fallow-T. Aman is the most dominant cropping pattern in Kustia Sadar, Chuadanga Sadar, Damurhuda, Jibannagar, Meherpur Sadar, Gangni and Mujibnagar. The Fallow-Fallow-T. Aman cropping pattern was also found as one of the major cropping patterns in Khoksha, Kumarkhali and Alamdanga. The Tobacco-Jute-T. Aman is the most dominant cropping pattern in Daulatpur and Mirpur upazilas. This cropping pattern is also existed as one of the major cropping patterns in Meherpur Sadar upazila. Wheat-Jute-T. Aman is the most dominant cropping pattern in Bheramara. This cropping pattern is also existed as one of the major cropping patterns in Kustia Sadar, Khoksha, Mirpur, Chuadanga Sadar, Damurhuda, Meherpur Sadar, Gangni and Mujibnagar. Maize-Fallow-T. Aman is the most dominant cropping pattern in Alamdanga. This cropping pattern is also existed as one of the major cropping patterns in Kustia Sadar. Sugarcane is the major crop of Khoksha and Kumarkhali upazilas.

Keywords: Rice, Dominant Cropping pattern, Major constraints, Adoption of MV rice

Location: Kustia Sadar, Bheramara, Daulatpur, Khoksha, Kumarkhali, Mirpur, Chuadanga Sadar, Alamdanga, Damurhuda, Jibannagar, Meherpur Sadar, Gangni, Mujibnagar

Start Date: 01-07-2009

End Date: 30-06-2010

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Rice

Objectives:

To identify major cropping patterns and MV rice coverage under different land types.
To identify variety wise coverage and yield level of MV rice for different land types.
To identify major constraints to further adoption of MV rice.
To identify opportunities for increasing cropping intensity and land productivity by identifying fallow period under different cropping patterns.

Methodology:

Questionnaires are sending back to RFSD, which were previously distributed to different upazilas. The information were computerized, processed and analyzed in collaboration with the scientists of Agricultural Statistics Division. Concerned scientist visited the office of UAO to meet up any query raise by the analyst during processing and analyzing the collected data.
