Field Assessment of Strip-Tillage for Summer Rice Cultivation in Bangladesh

Farmers in the tropics and subtropics of Asia usually transplant rice seedlings puddled soils which makes crop establishment weed control easier. But can be grown successfully by planting into non-puddled after a single shallow pass strip tillage. This method was globally reported to produce same yield as traditional puddle farming saved labor, fuel water, too. With this aim asses effect tillage productivity Bangladesh, trial done at farmer's field Gauriopur area Mymensingh district Bangladesh from July December 2014. The four summer varieties, BR11, BRRI dhan46, dhan52, BINA Dhan-7, compared under (ST) vs. conventional (CT). CT had two main ploughings two-wheel tractor, ST Versatile Multi-crop Planter. interactive results study showed that, except for number effective tillers per m2, grain yield, BCR, none other parameters changed significantly between treatments. highest BCR profit came BR 11 ST, followed Dhan-7 ST. lowest measured CT. could because amount sterile maximum were seen respective 26% higher than CT, have been due 3% that having 6% more 42% lower m2 area. In end, we say is profitable way grow best three types.
