Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was carried out at ARS, Burirhat, Rangpur during the rabi season 2009-10 to find out suitable intercropping system to get higher economic return introducing low cost relay system of long yard bean with maize intercropped in garden pea. It was observed that the highest maize equivalent yield (34.91 t/ha), gross return (Tk. 349100/ha), gross margin (Tk. 258100/ha) and benefit cost ratio (3.84) was obtained from T₂ treatment (Maize paired row + 4 rows garden pea)/4 rows long yard bean beside maize paired row.

Keywords: Relay cropping, Long yard bean, Maize, Intercropping, Gardenpea

Location: ARS, Burirhat, Rangpur

Start Date: 10-04-2010

End Date: 06-03-2010

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Maize, Pea, Yard long bean

Objectives:

To observe the performance of the intercropping system

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at ARS, Burirhat, Rangpur during the rabi season 2009-10 to get higher economic return introducing low cost relay system of long yard bean with maize intercopped in garden pea. The experiment was laid out in RCB design with three replications. The treatments were T1: (Maize normal row + 2 rows garden pea)/ 2 rows long yard been beside maize normal row (75 cm x 25 cm) T2: (Maize paired row + 4 rows garden pea)/4 rows long yard bean beside maize paired row T3: Maize normal row + 2 rows garden pea T4: Maize paired row + 4 rows garden pea T5: Sole long yard bean The unit plot size was 4.5m x 3m. The variety of maize was BARI hybrid maize-5, BARI motorshuti-2 and BARI long yard bean-1 included in the experiment. Maize and garden pea seeds were sown on 19 November 2009 and long yard bean sown on 10 April 2010. In case of maize, the land was fertilized at the rate of 230-60-110-45-5-2 NPKSZnB kg/ha. One-third urea and full amount of other fertilizers were applied at the time of final land preparation.

Total Budget (Tk.) : 10,000/-

Achievement/Findings:

The highest maize equivalent yield (34.91 t/ha), gross return (Tk. 349100/ha), gross margin (Tk. 258100/ha) and benefit cost ratio (3.84) was obtained from T₂ treatment (Maize paired row + 4 rows garden pea)/4 rows long yard bean beside maize paired row. Maize paired row + 4 rows garden pea relayed with 4 rows long yard bean would be the appropriate intercropping system.
