Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Wheat- Jute- T.Aman improved pattern (FI) was tested against the farmers pattern (F) at Monirampur under medium high land to increase the productivity and profitability of the farmers pattern through incorporation of improved varieties and management practices. Higher gross margins obtained for each of the crops in improved management (FI) than that of farmer’s management (F) with increased BCR (1.95, 2.40 and 1.71) for improved management (FI) in comparison to farmers management (F) for Wheat, Jute and T.Aman respectively. Overall, the FI pattern performed well in terms of yield and economic return to the farmers.

Keywords: Improved cropping pattern, Wheat, Jute, T.Aman

Location: Monirampur, Jessore.

Start Date: 01-03-2006

End Date: 28-02-2007

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Wheat, Rice, Jute

Objectives:

i) To introduce improved technology and new crop in the area.

ii) To increase productivity and higher income of the farmers.

Methodology:

Design: RCBD, Replication: 5 (Dispersed), Plot size: 500-1000 m2 Variety: F pattern: Farmers choice Improved varieties Jute: OM-1/O-9897, T. Aman: BRRI dhan 32, Wheat: Improved varieties. Seed rate (kg/ha): F pattern: Farmers choice, FI/FA pattern: Jute: 7, T. Aman: 30, Wheat: 100-120. Sowing time: F Pattern: Farmers choice, FI/FA pattern: Jute: March-April, T. Aman: July-August, Wheat: November- December. Fertilizer rate:(Urea-TSP-MP-Gypsum-Zinc Sulphate kg/ha): F pattern: Farmers choice, FI/FA pattern: Jute: 200-50-60-95-11/176-50-40-95-11, T. Aman: 135-90-50-60, Wheat: Recommended dose. Pest control: As and when necessary. Harvest time: F Pattern: Farmers choice, FI/FA pattern: Recommended time.

Funding Source:

1. Government

Budget: 30,000.00

Total Budget (Tk.) : 30,000.00

Achievement/Findings:

The gross margin per hectare for each crop was Tk. 17375, Tk. 38018 and Tk.17255/ha with corresponding investment of Tk. 22001, Tk. 27883 and 25801 for wheat, jute and T. aman respectively in farmers' management. On the other hand, gross margin received by wheat was Tk. 45615/ha while TVC was 23340, jute and T. aman obtained Tk. 39893 and Tk. 19103/ha as gross margin with TVC of Tk. 28500 for jute and Tk. 26617 for T. aman under improved management. Higher gross margins obtained for each of the crops in improved management (FI) than that of farmer’s management (F) with increased BCR (1.95, 2.40 and 1.71) for improved management (FI) in comparison to farmers management (F) for Wheat, Jute and T.Aman respectively. Overall, the FI pattern performed well in terms of yield and economic return to the farmers.
