On the other hand, the small and mediumfarmers across all sites were mostly linked with NGOs in order to get agricultural credit, inputs andtraining in an easy and affordable way.52

In Dinajpur the patternswere: Wheat–Fallow–Rice, Wheat-Mungbean-T.aman, and Wheat–Jute–Rice and in Rangpur thepatterns were, Wheat-Jute–T.aman, Wheat–Fallow–T.aman, and Wheat-Mungbean-T.aman (Table4.2.6). From the table it is observed that the wheat crop was mainly sown after harvest of T.aman rice atall the sites and this conflicts with the timely sowing of wheat. Therefore as per the claims of thefarmers, short duration T.aman rice varieties should be introduced to these areas for allowing timelysowing of wheat.Table 4.2.6 Major cropping patterns followed by the wheat farmers at the study areasMajor cropping patternsRajshahi Dinajpur RangpurWheat-T.aus-FallowWheat-Fallow-TomatoWheat-Fallow-T.amanWheat-T.aus-T.amanWheat–Fallow–T.amanWheat-Mungbean-T.amanWheat–Jute–T.amanWheat–Jute–T.amanWheat–Fallow–T.amanWheat-Mungbean-T.aman4.2.8 Time line of wheat cultivationTime line of wheat production in Rajshahi shows that during 1983 the farmers of the study area used tocultivate three varieties like Sonalika, Kanchan and Balaka. It is evident from the Table 4.2.7 that theyield of these three varieties was 3.0-3.5 t/ha. During 2008s, two new varieties Gourab and Shatabdiwere introduced. With the introduction of new varieties the yield also increased to 4.5-5.0 t ha -1 .Farmers of the surveyed village in Dinajpur adopted HYV variety Sonalika from the year 1984. Theyhad started growing another HYV variety named Kanchan from 1987, which persisted for a decade.Thereafter, farmers had adopted Shatabdi and Prodip & Bijoy from the year 2005 and 2007,respectively (Table 4.2.7). Farmers began to grow `Swarna’ (it is named ` Helna’ in India meaning53
