Conservation Agriculture Improves Soil Health: Major Research Findings from Bangladesh
Original language description
Agriculture in Bangladesh is subsistenceoriented, with traditional management practices still widespread. More recently, new management options have been introduced which have led to substantial improvements in national food and nutrition security as well as a decline in rural poverty. Globally, Bangladesh is the second largest consumer per capita of rice about 200 kg year. Between 77percent and 80percent of the countrys arable land is used for ricebased crop production. Depending on local edaphic and hydrologic conditions, rice may be grown over three key cropping periods: aman grown in the wet season and rainfed from monsoon rains, boro grown in winter and fully irrigated, and aus grown in spring largely using premonsoon rainfall. To meet the increasing food and nutrition demands of Bangladeshs increasing population, farmers apply high doses of agrochemicals e.g. fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides without realizing the deleterious effect overapplication has in terms of depleting soil organic m
