  2. The Goal and Objectives The overall goal of the project is to increase household income, food security and livelihoods in impoverished and agriculturally dependent regions of Bangladesh.

  3. The total area of Bangladesh is 147, 570 km2. • The coastal areas of Bangladesh cover more than 30% of the cultivable lands of the country. About 53% of the coastal areas are affected by salinity (0.83 Million ha.) • Agricultural land use in these areas is very poor, which is much lower than country's average cropping intensity. • The factors which contribute significantly to the development of saline soil are, tidal flooding during wet season (June-October), direct inundation by saline water, and upward or lateral movement of saline ground water during dry season (November-May) Satkhira Khulna

  4. Khulna Hub • The Khulna Hub belongs to mainly Ganges Tidal Flood Plain (AEZ11 ,12 & 13) • Bagerhat, Khulna and Satkhira districts • Area: 11444 km2 (including Sundarban forests) • The max. & min. annual mean temperature of the region is 35.50C & 12.50C. • Mean annual rainfall is 1710 mm. • Whole region lies within the cyclone zone.

  7. Land types and uses • Land type Percentage • Highland 2 • Medium highland 78 • Medium lowland 2 • Lowland <1 • Homestead, water 16 • Soil type: The texture of the soil is mainly clay and loamy. • Transplanted Aman is the principal crop throughout the region. • Aus, jute, sesame, mungbean, wheat, mustard and rabi crops are grown in some non saline/less saline areas.

  8. Land under Cultivation & Fallow • Area under cultivation and cultivable Fallow land

  9. Major cropping pattern • T. Aman – Fallow – Fallow • (Bagherhat 62%, Khulna 23%, Satkhira 28%) • T. Aman – Fallow - Boro • (Bagherhat 9%, Khulna 21%, Satkhira 55% ) • Sesame – Fallow- T. Aman • T. Aman – Wheat - Mungbeen • T. Aman - Mustard

  10. Development Constraints • Soil and water salinity during rabi season causes low productivity of winter crop. • Lack of fresh irrigation water • Leakage of saline water through sluice gate • Use of Local varieties in T.Amon Season causes lower yield and late harvest resulting late established of Rabi crop. • Water logging that creates late planting of different Rabi crops. • Lake of quality seed for HYV rice and Rabi crops like Wheat, Maize, Mustard, Sesame and Pulses. • Marketing problem for some crops like Maize other Rabi crops. • Lack of knowledge of modern production practice of high value crop. • Social problem of management of water resources. • Lack of rain (sweet) water reserver in the locality.

  11. Opportunities • Saline tolerant crops (Mainly Wheat, Maize, Rice) may be introduce. • Mechanization in agriculture (Use of 2WT with multi crop seeders, Power thresher). • CA Based Agriculture. • Vegetables & fodder cultivation in the dike of Gher.

  15. Activities and Achievement

  16. Total Target Farmers 2191

  17. ACTIVITIES IN PICTURE STRIP TILL TRIAL (CA)

  18. . NEW WHEAT GENOTYPESTRIAL

  19. . FARMERS TRAINING & FIELD DAY

  20. . FARMERS MEETING & PRA

  21. Major Lessons Learnt • Light irrigation following seed sowing of wheat stimulates good germination. • Wheat can be sown in late (even after 15 December). • Raise bed wheat shows good performance in saline prone area even heavy rainfall comes. • BARI Gom 25, Satabdi and Francolin can be successfully grown in saline prone area. • Rabi maize will show better performance if it is sown in early ( after short duration rice varieties). • Capacity building training, field days and demonstration are the effective means of farmers awareness that can help to increase cropping intensity of the large amount of fallow land in southern BD.

  22. Thank you for your patience
