PRODUCTIVITY OF LENTIL-MUNGBEAN SEQUENTIAL INTERCROPPING IN PAIRED ROW SUGARCANE (Pages : 1 - 10)

An experiment was conducted at the Bangladesh Sugarcane Research Institute (BSRI) farm, Ishurdi for consecutive two years starting from 2008-2009 to 2009-2010 to find out suitable lentil variety for lentil-mungbean sequential intercropping with paired row transplanted sugarcane. BARI Masur 4, BARI Masur 5, BARI Masur 6, BINA Masur 2 and BINA Masur 3 were used as lentil varieties. In this trial, onion - mungbean treatment was used as standard check. Results revealed that sequential intercropping practices did not affect sugarcane yield and juice quality. All the sequential intercropping treatments showed higher BCR than the sole cane crop. Among the treatment combinations, PRC + BARI Masur 5- Mungbean performed better in respect of yield and yield contributing characters. Mungbean based sequential intercropping with paired row transplanted sugarcane could be considered as a profitable combination for sustaining sugarcane farming and maintaining soil health.Download
