4.3.9 Major cropping patterns practiced by the maize farmersPotato-Maize-T.aman and Maize-Fallow-T.aman cropping patterns were practiced in both Rajshahi andDinajpur area (Table 4.3.7). A single cropping pattern Maize -Aus-T.aman was widely adapted inKishoregong area. While there were another three cropping patterns viz. Maize-T.aus-T.aman,Potato+Maize-T.aus-T.aman and Tomato-Maize-T.aus cropping are used in Rajshahi. Maize wascultivated both in Rabi and Kharif seasons at all three locations.able 4.3.7 Major cropping patterns followed by the maize farmers in the study areasRajshahi Dinajpur KishoregonjPotato–Maize–T.amanMaize–T.aus–T.amanPotato + Maize–T.aus–T.amanTomato–Maize–T.ausMaize–Fallow–T.amanPotato–Maize–T.amanMaize–Fallow–T.amanMaize–Aus–T.aman4.3.10 Dissemination of maize varieties in the study areasIn Rajshahi area, NK-40 (30.15%) and Pacific -11 (27.32%) varieties of maize were widelydisseminated among the farmers (Table 4.3.8). In this area, 48.90% of the large category of farmerscultivated NK-40 variety. There were another nine maize varieties grown by the Rajshahi farmers viz.J.K., Seed-502, BARI maize-6, Pacific-984, Pacific-1921, BARI maize-5, Pacific-1837, Pacific-555,Honey and BARI maize-3. All categories of Dinajpur farmers cultivated maize varieties, 900M/ 900Gold (average 76.67%), NK -40 (average 10%) and 717 (12.33%). But Pacific maize varieties wereplanted only by the small proportion of large farmers (3%). There were fifteen maize varieties/cultivars,which were grown in Kishoregonj site. Among them Pacific 11 (64.11%) and Hira (11.35%) werewidely cultivated by all categories of farmers.Table 4.3.8 Percent of farmers using different varieties of maize in the study areas (2008-09)Maize variety% Farmers used Suppliers/Large Medium Small AverageIntroducerRajshahiBARI maize-3 - - 1.99 0.66 BARIBARI maize-5 2.21 5.87 - 2.69 BARIBARI maize-6 2.21 7.84 - 3.35 BARIJ.K.
