Title: Evaluation of production potential and economics of Radish-Potato/Maize-T. Aman cropping pattern in Rangpur region
Abstract: The study was conducted to determine the yield and economic consequences of two cropping patterns viz. improved cropping pattern (Radish-Potato/Maize-T. Aman rice) and farmers’ pattern (Potato/Maize-T. Aman rice) through incorporation of modern high yielding varieties and improved management practices for crop production. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with six dispersed replications in farmers’ field condition in Domar, Nilphamari in three consecutive years 2009-12. Three years mean data showed that the improved management practices for the pattern provided significantly higher yield in improved pattern. The gross return (Tk. 4,32,990/ha) and net return (Tk. 1,98,324/ha) of improved pattern were 33.56 % and 24.93 % higher, respectively compared to that of farmers’ pattern with 45.44% extra cost. The higher marginal benefit cost ratio, land use efficiency and production efficiency indicated the superiority of the improved pattern over the farmers’ practices.
Key Words: Agronomic performance, Land use, Production potential and Marginal benefit-cost ratio
