Successful promotion of 4-cropping pattern stressed

block
BSS, Rajshahi :
Agricultural scientists and researchers have called for promotion of four crop-based yielding pattern through the best uses of modern technologies in the vast Barind tract for sustaining soil fertility and crop productivity specially BARI Sharisha14.
They viewed there has been an enormous prospects of bringing harvesting intensity coupled with increasing food production through successful promotion of the Transplanted Aush-Transplanted Aman-Mustard-Sesame cropping pattern. Farmers have vital role to play in this regard.
To maintain sound soil health, it could be advisable to grow mustard, particularly BARI Sharisha14 using a different system in order to improve compatibility between monsoon rice and upland winter crops. This would also suit the shift in economic importance towards the winter crops over monsoon rice. They were addressing a farmers training and field day programme titled “Four Crop-based Cropping Pattern Development Programme towards intensifying cropping intensity and Yield” held at Madarpur under Gomastapur upazila in Chapainawabganj district yesterday. Barind Centre of On-Farm Research Division (OFRD) under Bangladesh Agriculture Research Institute (BARI) organised the training in order to sensitize the farmers towards adopting the cropping pattern.
