Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The survey was conducted to determine the rice production potentials of various salinity affected areas of the coastal regions and to develop maps with pertinent information to help development plans in aman season 1992 in four thanas (Satkhira sadar,Ashashuni, Kaligonj and Shamnagar) of Satkhira district. Average yield of rice in aman season in Satkhira sadar,Ashashuni, Kaligonj and Shamnagar areas were 4.95, 5.24, 4.97 and 4.43 t/ha, respectively. It was found that about 85% farmers in the selected locations cultivated BR 11 variety. The soil salinity level of Satkhira sadar, Ashashuni, Kaligonj and hamnagar were 0.505, 2.28, 2.075 and 1.948 dS/m, respectively in November 1992. The observed salinity level is not harmful for rice production in T. Aman season.

Keywords: Coastal zone, Salinity, Fresh groundwater

Location: Satkhira sadar,Ashashuni, Kaligonj and Shamnagar, Satkhira

Start Date: 00-00-1992

End Date: 00-00-1992

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Rice

Objectives:

To determine the rice production potentials of various salinity affected areas of the coastal regions
To develop maps with pertinent information to help development plans

Methodology:

The survey was conducted in aman season 1992 in four thanas (Satkhira sadar,Ashashuni, Kaligonj and Shamnagar) of Satkhira district. A questionnaire was prepared to survey about crop, variety, fertilizer rate, salinity level and yield. About 50 farmers per location were selected to fill-up the questionnaire.
