“…This conclusion backs up the results of previous study, who observed that including blackgram and mungbean into the wheat-rice cropping sequence boosted system productivity, gross return, gross margin, benefitcost ratio, and production efficiency. This farming series provided 57% greater wheat equivalent yield than the prior wheat-rice system [54] .…”

Power tiller-driven plow tillage and crop residue exclusionary Traditional Agriculture practices are expensive, labor demanding, soil damaging, and eco-unfriendly. Over the last several years, pursuits of crop production through sustaining the productive capacity of soils, and environmental quality, have raised concern to adopt Conservation Agriculture worldwide. Single tillage combined with herbicides and crop residue retention principles of Conservation Agriculture are being developed. Between 2016–2017 and 2017–2018, a two-year on-farm experiment was done in Bangladesh. We practiced two crop establishment methods; Traditional Agriculture: Plow tillage followed by three manual weeding without residue preservation of previous crop and Conservation Agriculture: Pre-plant herbicide + single tillage + pre-emergence herbicide + post-emergence herbicide; under rice–wheat and rice–wheat–mungbean systems. Data reveal that the Conservation Agriculture was more cost-effective crop establishment technique than Traditional Agriculture in rice, wheat, and mungbean by increasing the ratio of benefit to costs by 24.3%, 35.7% and 48.8%, respectively, with a savings in tillage operations (66.3%, 58.1%, and 57.6%, respectively), weeding expenditures (59.2%, 24.5%, and 42.2%, respectively), and manpower requirements (25.1%, 27.2%, and 31.3%, respectively). This has resulted in an increase of 32% productivity of rice–wheat–mungbean systems with the yield advantage of 16%, 31% and 37% in rice, wheat and mungbean, respectively. When mungbean was added, the rice–wheat system’s productivity rose by 43%. The rice–wheat–mungbean system under Traditional Agriculture had the highest land utilization efficiency (99.45%), followed by Conservation Agriculture (92.05%), which expanded the scope to include additional crops into rice–wheat–mungbean system. Moreover, the Conservation Agriculture had a 59.7% greater production efficiency than Traditional Agriculture, where the rice–wheat–mungbean system having the highest production efficiency (53.00 kg–1 ha–1 day–1), followed by the rice–wheat system (45.57 kg–1 ha–1 day–1).

“…96,600 ha -1 ). Annual cost of cultivation increased with increasing cropping intensity, with the triple or more-cropping system incurring considerable higher costs than the double-cropping system primarily due to cost of fertilizer, labour and plant protection (Biswas et al, 2006;Singh et al, 2011, Hossain et al, 2016b.

A field experiment viz. was conducted at farmers’ field of Field Service Research Division site, Kadamshahar, Godagari, Rajshahi under High Barind Tracts to evaluate the the effect of the intensive cropping on system productivity and economic returns as well as nutrient balance and changes in soil fertility of four crop-based cropping pattern Lentil –Mungbean -T.Aus -T.Aman during 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. The Lentil - Mungbean-T.Aus -T. Aman rice cropping pattern was considered as improved pattern (IP) and compared with the farmers’ practice (FP) of Boro - Fallow -T.Aman rice cropping pattern. The Lentil-Mungbean- T.Aus -T.Aman cropping pattern was involved with higher cultivation cost but having the higher rice equivalent yield (REY 15.01 t ha-1), gross return (Tk. 265500 ha-1), gross margin (Tk. 134750 ha-1) and marginal benefit-cost ratio (1.38). This cropping pattern gave 46% higher REY compared to the existing Boro-Fallow-T. Aman rice pattern. The four crop pattern took 345 days in a year for its cycle completion. Incorporation of legume residues into the soil in IP increased soil organic matter, total N, available P and Zn contents, as observed after two crop cycles. The IP increased N, P and K uptake by the crops in the sequence. The apparent balance, i.e. difference between inputs and outputs for N and K was negative. The apparent P balance was positive in IP while it was negative in FP. Therefore, it is concluded that the practicing Lentil- Mungbean-T.Aus-T.Aman rice cropping pattern is a productive and profitable system of production technology in the high Barind Tract.
