Abstract/ Executive Summary:

During Rabi, 2005, observation trials were conducted at farmers field in Noakhali, Patuakhali and Sathkhira districts. BARI khesari-2 and Narail local field pea were used in the observational trials.Seeds of field pea and grass pea were relayed 30-days before harvesting T.Aman rice. In Noakhali, sowing was done on 17 November,2005 while in Potuakhali it was done on 22 November,2005. It was reported that seeds of grass pea and field pea were sown timely at Bearpota farm,Sathkhira. But after germination seedlings could not survive. Hence there was no yield due to high salinity. Result showed that yield performance of relay field pea and grass pea decreased with increasing salinity level. In high salinity, overall performance was not satisfactory. However, performance of relay field pea and grass pea in medium and lower salinity regions were satisfactory and the mean performance were 475 kg/ha and 692 kg/ha, respectively in Noakhali and 625 kg/ha and 560 kg/ha, respectively in Patuakhali.

Keywords: Relay crop, Field pea, Grass pea , T.Aman, Saline area

Location: Noakhali, Patuakhali and Sathkhira

Start Date: 17-11-2005

End Date: 10-03-2006

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Fieldpea, Grasspea, Rice

Objectives:

To identify the feasibility to grow pulses in the saline belt as a relay crop with T. Aman rice.

Methodology:

During Rabi, 2005, observational trials were conducted at farmers field of Noakhali, Patuakhali and Sathkhira districts. BARI khesari-2 and Narail local field pea were used in the observational trials. Seeds of field pea and grass pea were relayed 30-days before harvesting T.Aman rice. In Noakhali, sowing was done on 17 November,2005 while in Potuakhali it was done on 22 November,2005. Data on yield and yield contributing characters were recorded and analyzed statistically. The mean values were adjusted by LSD test.
