“…Yield and economic performance of alternate and existing cropping pattern during 2014-15 and 2015-16 are presented in Hossain et al (2014) who stated that short duration varieties and improved four crop based cropping pattern increases total productivity and profitability over farmers existing pattern.…”

Field experiment was conducted at the farmers' field of Amratoli, Barura multi location testing site of Cumilla during 2014-15 and 2015-16 to increase cropping intensity and productivity by inclusion of T. Aus in existing cropping pattern. Thus experiment variables were F: Existing cropping pattern (Potato -Boro-Fallow-T. Aman) and FA: Alternate cropping pattern (Potato-Boro-T. Aus-T.Aman). Research result indicated that rice equivalent yield (REY) in alternate cropping pattern was 43.46 t ha -1 , which is 25.90% higher over existing pattern (34.52 t ha -1 ). Higher gross return (Tk. 651900 ha -1 ), gross margin (Tk. 416520 ha -1 ) and higher marginal benefit cost ratio (2.77) obtained from alternate cropping pattern messaged that this pattern may be recommended to other extrapolation areas of Cumilla region.

The trial was conducted at Multi Location Testing (MLT) site under On-Farm Research Division, BARI, Kushtia during the last week of February, 2015 to second week of February, 2017 at farmers’ field condition to find out the productivity and profitability of three alternate cropping patterns, i.e. ACP1=Mustard (var: BARI Sarisha-15) - Mungbean (var: BARI Mung-6) - T. Aus rice (var: BRRI dhan48) - T. Aman rice (var: Binadhan-7), ACP2=Lentil (var: BARI Masur-6) - Mungbean (var: BARI Mung-6) - T. Aus rice (var: BRRI dhan48) - T. Aman rice (var:Binadhan-7), ACP3=Wheat (var: BARI Gom-28) - Mungbean (var: BARI Mung-6) - T. Aus rice (var: BRRI dhan48) - T. Aman rice (var:Binadhan-7) against the existing cropping pattern, i.e. ECP= Lentil (var: BARI Mashur-6) – Sesame (BARI Teel-3) - T. Aman (var: Binadhan-7). Findings revealed that the required mean crop durations ranged 340-356 days for one cycle in a year in four crops based cropping patterns against 293 days in existing cropping pattern. Total seed/grain yields in terms of REY of ACP1, ACP2, and ACP3 were 14.85, 16.06 and 14.92 t ha-1 year-1, respectively which were 44%, 56% and 45%, respectively higher than that of existing pattern (10.30 t ha-1 year-1). Mean production efficiency (32.53-40.43 kg ha-1day-1), land use efficiency (93.15-97.53%) and mean gross margin ( Tk. 109393 - Tk. 127834 ha-1) of all alternate cropping patterns were higher than that of existing cropping pattern (PE: 23.63 kg ha-1day-1, LUE: 80.28% and gross margin Tk. 94929 ha-1). As a result, all alternate cropping patterns were agronomically feasible and economically profitable. Among the alternate cropping patterns, ACP2=Lentil (var: BARI Masur-6) - Mungbean (var: BARI Mung-6) - T. Aus rice (var: BRRI dhan48) - T. Aman rice (var: Binadhan-7) performed the best. Therefore, farmers in Kushtia area of Bangladesh might follow the alternate cropping patterns in high and medium high land for higher crop productivity and profitability over existing cropping pattern.

“…Mondal et al (2015) reported that T.Aman rice (var: Binadhan-7) -Mustard (var: BARI Sarisha-15) -Mungbean (var: BARI Mung-6) -T.Aus rice (var: Parija) cropping pattern gave higher benefit with less cost of production and could be easily fitted in the existing pattern. Hossain et al (2014) also reported that T.Aman rice (var: Binadhan-7) -Mustard (var: BARI Sarisha-15) -Mungbean (var: BARI Mung-6) -T.Aus rice (var: Parija) are agronomically feasible and economically profitable compared to the existing pattern.Due to growing four crops in a year in the same piece of land more employment opportunity could be created and at the same time due to increased production of crops, food and nutritional security could be ascertained for the farmers and at the same time cropping intensity and productivity could be increased (Mondal et al, 2015;Hossain et al, 2014). Nazrul et al (2017) found that improved pattern (Mungbean-T.Aus -T.Aman rice) provided higher grain yield, contributed more REY, gave maximum sustainable index, production efficiency, land use efficiency and higher profit compared to farmers pattern (Fallow-T.Aus-T.Aman rice).…”

The trial was conducted at Multi Location Testing (MLT) site under On-Farm Research Division, BARI, Kushtia during the last week of February, 2015 to second week of February, 2017 at farmers’ field condition to cover two cropping cycle of four crops. The main objectives of the trial were to verify the feasibility of growing improved cropping pattern Mustard-Mungbean-T.Aus-T.Aman rice and to compare its productivity and profitability with existing cropping pattern Lentil-Sesame-T.Aman rice. The varieties BARI Sarisha-15, BARI Mung-6, BRRI dhan48 and Binadhan-7 were used for the crop Mustard, Mungbean, T.Aus and T.Aman rice, respectively in the improved cropping pattern, while in case of existing pattern, the varieties were BARI Masur-6, BARI Till-3 and Binadhan-7 for Lentil, Sesame and T.Aman rice, respectively. Findings revealed that the mean crop duration of 340 days were required for one cycle in a year in improved cropping pattern which implied that four crop based cropping pattern was agronomically feasible to replace existing cropping pattern. Total seed/grain yield in terms of REY of improved cropping pattern was 14.85 t ha-1 year-1 which was 44% higher than that of existing pattern (10.30 t ha-1 year-1). Mean production efficiency (35.78 kg ha-1 day-1), land use efficiency (93.15%) and labour employment (589 mandays ha-1 year-1) of improved cropping pattern was 51%, 16% and 62%, higher, respectively than that of existing cropping pattern. The mean net economic advangaes of improved cropping pattern was Tk 12677 ha-1 year-1 which implied that the improved cropping pattern was economically viable. Moreover, the improved cropping pattern increased cropping intensity, farmers knowledge, skill, and income as well as employment. It also maintained soil health by incorporating mungbean stover and T.Aus rice straw in the soil. Therefore, farmers in Kushtia region of Bangladesh could follow the improved cropping pattern in their high and medium high land for higher productivity and profitability as well as employment generation over existing cropping pattern.Bangladesh J.
