Name of Technology: Deshi jute variety in Jute-Roppa Aman-Wheat cropping pattern

Year of innovation: 1995

2.

Introduction: It is very important to increase the cropping intensity by using early sowing deshi jute in jute-ropa aman-wheat cropping pattern which ensures optimal land utilization as well as conversion of mono-cropped land to tri-cropped land.

3.

Salient features of the technology:

• Cropping intensity will increase.
• A lot of relaxation can be observed in the sowing time of the newly developed deshi varieties (BJRI Deshi Pat -5 and BJRI Deshi Pat -6) on the sowing time of seedlings and wheat sowing during the tri-crop production cycle.
• In newly developed deshi jute (BJRI Deshi Pat -5 and BJRI Deshi Pat -6) based tri-cropping pattern gives more profit than other Deshi  jute.
