Abstract

The experiment was conducted at Cotton Research, Training and Seed Multiplication Farm, Jagodishpur, Chowgacha, Jessore initiated June 19, 2015 for the cropping season 2015-16 to observe the performance of cotton based cropping system including total three crops in a year. The other crops were i) relay wheat – mungbean and ii) relay lentil – mungbean. Four cotton varieties CB-12, CB-13, CB-14 and CB Hybrid-1 were sowed in a RCBD design with three replications. Seed cotton yield was significantly different among the varieties. The highest seed cotton yield (2519.3 kg/ha) was obtained from CB Hybrid-1 and the lowest (2112.37 kg/ha) seed cotton was produced by CB-13. The highest BCR (1.31) was observed in cotton (CB Hybrid-1) –relay lentil –mungbean cropping pattern and the lowest BCR (1.10) was observed in Cotton (CB-13) – relay wheat –mungbean cropping pattern. The finding infers that cotton – relay lentil - mungbean cropping pattern might have the potentiality to increase cropping intensity in Bangladesh.
