Abstarct
A sub-project entitled “Crops Productivity in Beel areas of
Bangladesh” under NATP-2, BARC has
been executing for 18 months from April 2017 to September 2018. According
to LOA (signed on 15 May 2017), PI
and Co-PI are the authorized persons for implementing the sub-project in favour
of BARI. Objectives of the sub-project are to identify technology for improving
crop productivity and to adapt HYV with best crop management practices in beel
areas. Total approved Budget is Tk.3000000 (Thirty lakh taka only).
Experimental locations have been selected as (1) Dobilabeel and (2) Khalkhola,
Tarash-Sirajgong (3) Charkadaho, Gurudahpur-Natore, and (4) Monglarbeel
(Surjack-Katagor), Boalmari-Faridpur. Key findings of ten adaptive trial have
been summarized here. BARI sarisha-14 and BRI sarisha-15 were found suitable
before boro rice in upper land of
Chalan Beel area producing higher seed yield (1600-1667 kg/ha) and BCR
(1.59-1.65). Nutrient dose of 140-44-70-30-1.8-1
kg/ha of N-P-K-S-Zn-B (125% RN) + Weeding at 15 DAE was found suitable for
higher seed yield (1754 kg/ha) of mustard and higher BCR of 1.69. BARI
Gom-30 was found suitable in upper land of Chalan Beel area in respect higher grain
yield (5.02 t/ha) and BCR of 1.78. Nutrient dose of 125-45-31-25-2-1 kg/ha of N-P-K-S-Zn-B (125%
RN) + Weeding at 20 DAE was found suitable for better yield (5.52 t/ha) and
economic return (BCR of 1.81) for wheat at Chalan Beel area. Maize
varieties named NK-40, 900 M Gold and Miracle produced higher grain yield
(10.02-10.64 t/ha) with higher BCR (1.88-2.00) in Chalan Beel area. Nutrient
dose, 325-90-185-60-5-2.5
kg/ha of N-P-K-S-Zn-B (125% RN) + Weeding 20 DAE was found suitable for higher
grain yield (12.98 t/ha)
and BCR of 2.24 for maize cultivation in Chalan Beel area. BARI Piaj-4
and local variety of onion gave better bulb yield (19.61-20.02 t/ha) and higher
economic returns (Gross return of Tk. 830400-862000/ha and BCR of 2.00-2.08) in
Monglarbeel area. Nutrient dose, 150-75-200-50-5.60-2.5 kg/ha of N-P-K-S-Zn-B (125% RN) + Weeding at 30
DAE produced the highest bulb yield (19.96 t/ha) of onion with higher economic returns (BCR
of 2.01) in Monglarbeel area. Nutrient dose, 26-11-11-5-0.8-0.8 kg/ha of
N-P-K-S-Zn-B + hand weeding at 20 DAE
and 50-60 DAE was found suitable for higher grain yield (1.59-1.61 t/ha) and
better economic return (gross return of Tk. 35475-41976/ha
and BCR of 1.91-2.11) for B. aman in
beel areas. Nutrient level like 40-20-10-5-0.8-0.5 kg/ha of N-P-K-S-Zn-B + one
hand weeding at 5-7 days after harvest of main rice was found suitable for
higher yield (2.10 t/ha) and better economic return (gross return of Tk. 46200
/ha and BCR of 3.82) for ratoon rice in chalanbeel area. Five experiments on
Mustard-Boro rice pattern and
Maize-B.aman rice pattern (in the
field), Garlic+water melon intercropping, Minimizing technique of waterlogged effect for maize Garlic varieties (data analysis) are going
on soothingly. Base line information has been collected by a quick survey
(Enclosure-2). Capacity building training for farmer and field day have been
completed. Procurement has been completed. Financial progress is about 98.40%.
