| Abstract | Water is one of the major constraints to get optimum yield. Irrigation facility is not adequate in Bangladesh, so farmers had to depend on natural precipitation. Specially in the main rice cropping season Aman.
The simulation were done for Joydebpur area by using twenty year rainfall, with the the help of computer based water balance model. The model indicates that it is possible to grow transplant Aman rice after Aus crop depending on natural precipitation. The Aman can be transplant within September. With the help of natural rainfall farmer can get an optimum yield. But with a supplemental irrigation a better yield can be expected.
The amount of irrigation needed was 92 mm an average. range of irrigation was 0-549 mm. The number of irrigation ne was an average 2, the range was 1 to 9. |
