BSS, Jamalpur :
Farmers in the district have achieved a bumper production of Aush paddy this year as a result of favourable climatic conditions.
Sources with Department of Agriculture Extension (DAE) said the farmers were able to produce 2.7 tonnes of high yielding variety Aush rice per hectare against the target 2.55 tonnes this year.
Sufficient rainfalls during the season helped the paddy plant grew well without any irrigation.
The sources said the farmers cultivated the crop on 5987 hectares of land this time which is almost double compared to the last season.
Local variety of the crop was cultivated on 452 hectares and high breed Aush on 35 hectares. The harvesting of the paddy will be completed by this month.
