EXISTING CROPPING PATTERN AND ADOPTION OF NEW FARMING TECHNOLOGY IN THE PLAIN LAND ECOSYSTEM OF PHULPUR UPAZILA OF MYMENSINGH
Journal Title: International Journal of Biological Innovations - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The participatory rural appraisal (PRA) was conducted at Phulpur Upazila of Mymensingh district of Bangladesh during April 2018 to May 2019 to know the existing farming system and new techniques in plain land area. The analysis shows a profit gap between traditional mono/double crop cultivation and integrated farming and the gap benchmarking indicates that integrated farming has two times greater income feasibilities than present cultivation system. Authors strongly recommend the application of model integrated farming to minimize the input cost and maximize the agricultural outputs in order to establish the better economic feasibility for decent livelihood and rural development.
