Yield Potentiality of Different Cropping Patterns in Mango Orchard as Agroforestry System

Dr. Md. Faruque Hossain
Senior Scientific Officer
On-Farm Research Division, BARI, Gazipur-1701.

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Yield potentiality of three cropping patterns in mango orchard was conducted in the MLT site Khalashpir, Pirganj, Rangpur to find out a suitable cropping pattern under mango orchard. Three cropping patterns namely viz, Potato-Mungbean-T.aman, Potato - Mungbean - Bitter gourd and Wheat - Mungbean - T.aman were initiated during Rabi season 2014-15. Potato and wheat was harvested and at present mungbean in the field. Higher yield as well as gross return was obtained from potato compare to wheat.

Keywords: Cropping patterns, Mango orchard, Agroforestry system

Location: Khalashpir, Pirganj, Rangpur

Start Date: 00-12-2014

End Date: 00-03-2015

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Bitter gourd, Wheat, Rice, Mungbean, Potato

Objectives:

To know the performance of different cropping patterns (Potato-Mungbean-T.Aman, Potato - Mungbean - Bitter gourd and Wheat - Mungbean - Bitter gourd) under the niche of mango orchard.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted in three farmer’s established Mango orchard age about four years. Land was prepared by three times ploughing followed by laddering. Cardinal variety potato seed was sown in the field during December 8, 2014 maintaining 60 cm x 25 cm spacing and crop was harvested on 26 February, 2015. BARI gom 26 seed was sown in the field December 08, 2014 and crop was harvested on 31 March, 2015. In potato three time irrigation was provided and in wheat irrigation was done twice. Other plant protection measures were taken as when necessary.

Achievement/Findings:

Yield potentiality of three cropping patterns in mango orchard was conducted in Rabi season 2014-2015. Potato and wheat have been harvested and at present mungbean in the field. Yield as well as gross margin was higher in potato compared to wheat. After completion of the experiment, recommendation can be made on the cropping patterns.
