Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Tangail Sadar Upazila is situated between 24^o09' & 24^o22' N latitude & 89^o46' & 90o00' E longitude covering an area of 30,286 hectares. Tangail Sadar Upazila consists of 1 Pourashova, 12 Union and 215 Mouza. Per capita land availability is only 0.06ha. Potential cotton suitable high land is 698 hectares which are scattered and located in different union and pourashova. Farmers need to be motivated for cotton cultivation.

Keywords: Cotton suitability, High land, Tangail Sadar Upazila

Location: Tangail Sadar Upazila, Tangail

Start Date: 01-11-2014

End Date: 02-10-2015

Program Area: Knowledge Management

Commodity: Cotton

Objectives:

1.To study the cotton suitability assessment of Tangail Sadar Upazila.

2. To create database for future cotton area extension.

Methodology:

A draft photo-interpretative soil and landform map is prepared by analyzing aerial photos of 2010. Semi-detailed soil survey is carried out to delineate high lands of the Upazila. Soil and land types are checked during field survey. Land use is recorded. Soil samples are collected @ one sample per 50-100 hectare of high land for fertility assessment. Final cotton suitable area map is prepared by accommodating field observations. Report on cotton suitability is prepared by compiling all data.The work started on 01-11-2014 and ended on 02-10-2015.

Achievement/Findings:

Tangail Sadar Upazila is situated between 24^o09' & 24^o22' N latitude & 89^o46' & 90^o00' E longitude covering an area of 30,286 hectares. Tangail Sadar Upazila consists of 1 Pourashova, 12 Union and 215 Mouza. Per capita land availability is only 0.06ha. Tangail Sadar Upazila is divided into two physiographic units namely Old Brahmaputra Floodplain and Young Brahmaputra Floodplain.Potential cotton suitable high land is 698 hectares which are scattered and located in different union viz Mogra (110ha), Baghil (105ha), Dainna (85ha), Gharinda (38ha), Korotia (13 ha), Silimpur (85ha), Gala (61ha), Porabari (45ha) and pourashova (157ha). Sonatala is the only soil in high land. As the soil is intermittently drained cotton fields need drainage channels to avoid water stagnantion. Farmers need to trained on techniques of cotton cultivation, harvesting, processing and marketing.
