PERFORMANCE OF SUGARCANE WITH DIFFERENT PLANTING METHODS AND INTERCROPS IN OLD HIMALAYAN PIEDMONT PLAIN SOILS (Pages : 55 - 57)
M. A. ISLAM, M. N. A. MIAH, M. A. RAHMAN, M. A. KADER AND K. M. R. KARIMA study was conducted at grower’s field of Regional Sugarcane Research Station (BSRI), Madarganj, Thakurgaon during 2006-07 to study the performance of four different intercrops viz. Potato (Solanum tuberosum), Mungbean (Vigna radiata), Chilli (Capsicum frutescens) and Garlic (Allium sativum) in different planting methods in the farmer’s field at Thakurgaon Sugar Mills zone under Old Himalayan Piedmont Plain Soils during the cropping season 2006-07. The results revealed that the highest millable cane stalks (108.3 X 103 ha-1 ) and yield (101.60 t ha-1 ) was obtained from the T2 (STP single row + Potato-Mungbean) followed by millable stalks (107.8 X 103 ha-1 ) and cane yield (99.38 t ha-1 ) from T4 (STP paired row + Potato-Mungbean). Highest adjusted cane yield of 220.9 t ha-1 and 219.1 t ha-1 were recorded from T4 and T2 respectively. Overall results showed that STP single row + Potato-Mungbean (T2) and STP paired row + Potato-Mungbean (T4) combination was found most productive and remunerative package technology for Old Himalayan Piedmont Plain Soils.
