Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Agro-economic performance of farmers alternative (FA) pattern Jute- T.Aman- Khesari were tested in comparison to farmers (F) pattern Fallow- T.Aman- Fallow in the coastal medium high land of Pakhimara upazilla of Patuakhali district. Modern crop varieties with improved management practices were followed in alternative cropping pattern (FA). Under FA management, the gross margin of T.Aman Tk. 10837.00 per hectare was observed on TVC basis, which was more than 20% higher against the farmer’s pattern (F). The CVL-1 variety of Jute and BRRI Dhan-33 were performed better than the local varieties and result of Khesari was not available during this reporting period.

Keywords: Cropping pattern, Jute, T.Aman, Khesari, Existing farmers pattern

Location: Pakhimara upazilla of Patuakhali.

Start Date: 01-03-2006

End Date: 30-02-2007

Program Area: Farming System

Commodity: Jute, Grasspea, Rice

Objectives:

i) To introduce improved technology and new crop.

ii) To increase productivity and higher income of the farmers.

iii) To find out a suitable cropping pattern for the farmers.

Methodology:

Design: RCBD, Replication: 3-5 (Dispersed), Plot size: 500-1000 m2 Variety: F pattern: Farmers choice Improved varieties Jute: CVL-1, T. Aman: BRRI dhan 3233, Kheshari/Fallondal: Improved varieties. Seed rate (kg/ha): F pattern: Farmers choice, FI/FA pattern: Jute: 8, T. Aman: 30, Kheshari/Fallondal: 40-50. Sowing time: F Pattern: Farmers choice, FI/FA pattern: Jute: March-April, T. Aman: July-August, Kheshari/Fallondal: November- December. Fertilizer rate:(Urea-TSP-MP-Gypsum-Zinc Sulphate kg/ha): F pattern: Farmers choice, FI/FA pattern: Jute: 166-25-30-45-11, T. Aman: 135-90-50-60, Kheshari/Fallondal: 40-80-30-0-0/20-40-20-0-0. Pest control: As and when necessary. Harvest time: F Pattern: Farmers choice, FI/FA pattern: Recommended time.
