2. |
Indroduction: From 2005 to 2007, improvement of Lentil-Jute-T. Aman cropping pattern and applicability of this technology were verified by incorporating improved varieties and management in Faridpur region. The cropping pattern can be introduced in high land and medium high land of agro-ecological zone 12. |

Salient features of the technology: a) Lentil-Jute-T. Aman pattern can be increased by up to 17-20% more yield under this management. b) When pulse crops are introduced, the soil becomes more fertile, which also benefits the farmer financially. c) Increases crop intensity and productivity. d) BCR of lentil, jute and T. Aman in improved cropping pattern was found to be 1.53, 2.26 and 1.39 respectively which was 1.34, 2.13 and 1.34 respectively in farmer's own cropping management. |
