Title of the technology: Jute seed based cropping pattern Onion –Jute–Jute seed+Coriander Year of innovation: 2016 |
|||
|
2. |
Indroduction: On medium-high land, the Fallow-jute-T. Aman cropping pattern is cultivated in the Manikganj district. By including 4 (four) crops rather than the two-cropped cropping pattern in the aforementioned land, it is possible to recommend an improved cropping pattern of Onion-Jute-Late jute seed+Coriander. This technology was developed by JFSD through research activities at farmers’ field during 2012 to 2015. |

Salient features of the technology: a) Four crops are included in the crop pattern. b) In addition to producing jute seed, farmers also grow high-value crops including spices and vegetable crops. c) In Kharif-2 and Rabi seasons, high value crops such as onion and coriander, including jute seed, could be grown in place of T. Aman and fallow. |
