 Two experiments were conducted at Chalan beel (Experiment-1: Sirajgonj) and at Monglar beel (Experiment-2: Faridpur) to improve the rice based cropping system in lowland during 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. Treatments of Experiment-1 were four cropping patterns like T1=Mustard-Boro rice, T2= Mustard-Jute, T3=Potato-Boro rice and T4=Fallow-Boro rice. Treatments of Experiment-2 were four cropping patterns viz. T1=Onion-Jute, T2=Onion-Broadcast aman (B. aman) rice, T3= Lathyrus- B. aman rice and T4=Fallow-Boro rice. Experiments were conducted in a RCB design with five dispersed replications. Crops in the patterns were sown/planted/transplanted timely in the growing season. Cultural management were done as and when necessary as per recommendation of each crop. All relevant data was collected and analyzed systematically. The results of the Experiment-1 revealed that Mustard-Jute and Potato-Boro rice cropping patterns were found superior in respect of productivity and economic returns as compared to existing cropping pattern (ie. Fallow-Boro rice cropping pattern). The findings of the experiment-2 indicted that Onion-Jute and Onion-B. aman rice were found as the most productive cropping patterns with better economic benefit over existing cropping pattern (ie. Fallow-Boro rice cropping pattern). Farmers’ are interested to adopt in these improved cropping patterns in the beel area. They will get more economic returns. Total food production of the country will be enhanced through adoption of these improved cropping patterns.
