BSS, Rajshahi :
There has been an enormous prospect of farming mug dal developed by Bangladesh Agriculture Research Institute (BARI) in the vast Barind tract as its contribution to the field of high yielding characteristics alongside adaptability to the soil condition is highly significant.
By dint of enhancing acreage of mug dal, socioeconomic condition of the farmers has started improving coupled with rising soil health.
After harvesting different rabi crops like wheat, mustard, potato, onion and garlic, above one lakh hectares of high Barind land in 25 upazilas of Rajshahi, Naogaon and Chapainawabganj districts remain fallow every year.
