Abstract

An experiment was conducted at Bangladesh Sugarcane Research Institute (BSRI) farm, Ishurdi for consecutive two years starting from 2008-2009 to 2009-2010 to find out the suitable mustard variety for mustard-mungbean sequential intercropping with paired row transplanted sugarcane. Tori 7, BARI Sarisha 9, BARI Sarisha 11, BARI Sarisha 15, BINA Sarisha 3 and BINA Sarisha 4 were used as mustard varieties. In this trial, PRC + onion - mungbean treatment combination 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 Sarisha 9 - Mungbean performed better in respect of yield and yield contributing characters of sugarcane, yield of mungbean, net return, BCR and LER. Therefore, mustard (BARI Sarisha 9) - mungbean sequential intercropping with paired row transplanted sugarcane could be considered as a profitable combination for sustainable sugarcane farming with maintaining soil health.
