Abstract/ Executive Summary:

In Comilla region, Boro-Fallow-T. Aman, Boro-Fallow-Fallow and Boro-Fallow-B. Aman were the dominant cropping patterns in most of the upazilas. While Boro-T. Aus-T. Aman was the dominant cropping pattern in some of the upazilas. Boro-Fallow-T. Aman, Boro-T. Aus-T. Aman, Winter vegetables-Summer vegetables-Summer vegetables were the major cropping patterns in high land. In medium high land, Boro-T. Aus-T. Aman, Boro-Fallow-T. Aamn, Fallow-T.Aus-T.Aman, Potato-T. Aus-T. Aman, Winter vegetables-Summer vegetables-T. Aman, Wheat-Aus-T. Aman, Wheat-Jute-T. Aman, Potato-Jute-T. Aman were the major cropping patterns in different upazilas. Boro-Fallow-B. Aman and Boro-Fallow-Fallow were the dominant cropping patterns in medium high land and low land. While Boro-Fallow-Fallow was the dominant cropping pattern in very low land.

Start Date: 01-07-2008

End Date: 30-06-2009

Program Area: Farming System

Non-commodity: Rice, Cropping pattern

Objectives:

i) To identify major cropping patterns and MV rice coverage under different land types. ii) To identify variety wise coverage and yield level of MV rice for different land types. iii) To identify major constraints to further adoption of MV rice. iv) To identify opportunities for increasing cropping intensity and land productivity by identifying fallow period under different cropping patterns.

Methodology:

Questionnaires are sending back to RFSD, which were previously distributed to different upazilas. The information were computerized, processed and analyzed in collaboration with the scientists of Agricultural Statistics Division. Concerned scientist visited the office of UAO to meet up any query raise by the analyst during processing and analyzing the collected data.

Achievement/Findings:

In Comilla region, Boro-Fallow-T. Aman is the most dominant cropping pattern in Burichang, Chauddagram, Comilla Sadar south, Laksam, B. Baria Sadar, Comilla Sadar, Ashuganj, Chandpur Sadar, Faridgonj, Haimchar. The Boro-Fallow-Fallow cropping pattern was also found one of the major cropping patterns in Brahmanpara, Nangolcoat, Barura, Kasba, Debidwar, Muradnagar, Sarail and Akhaura. The Boro-Fallow-Fallow is the most dominant cropping pattern in Titas, Monohargonj, Kasba, Nabinagar, Muradnagar, Daudkandi, Sarail, Bancharampur and Akhaura upazilas. This cropping pattern was also existed as one of the major cropping patterns in Homna, Laksam, B. Baria Sadar, Debidwar, Chandina, Ashugonj, Motlab north, Hazigonj, Shahrasti, Kachua and Faridgonj. Boro-Fallow-B. Aman was the most dominant cropping patterns in Homna, Burichang, Brahmanpara, Comilla Sadar south, Monohargonj, Laksam, Hazigonj, Shahrasti and Kachua upazilas. This cropping pattern was also one of the major cropping patterns in Laksam, Nabinagar, Chandina, Muradnagar and Daudkandi. Boro-T. Aus-T. Aman was the most dominant cropping pattern in Brahmanpur, Nangolkot, Barura, Debidwar and Matlab north. In highland, the cropping patterns, Boro-Fallow-T. Aman, Boro-T. Aus-T.

Aman, Boro-Fallow-Fallow cropping patterns were major in medium lowland in most of the upazilas. Boro-Fallow-Fallow and Boro-Fallow-B. Aman cropping patterns were the most dominant cropping pattern in lowland most of the upazilas. Other major cropping patterns were Pulses-Fallow-B. Aman and Mustard-Fallow-B. Aman. In very lowland land, Boro-Fallow-Fallow was only the cropping pattern.
