      abstract = {An attempt was taken to transform Aman-fallow-Boro  cropping pattern into Aman-rapeseed and mustard-Boro for  three years beginning from Rabi 2011-12. Two components  viz. Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh (BAU)  and Bittohin Chashi Somaj Kallayan Sangstha (BCSKS)  executed the programme under the leadership of BAU. Three  upazillas viz. Mymensingh Sadar, Muktagacha & Haluaghat of  Mymensingh district were under BAU component. Whereas, the  upazillas Bagha of Rajshahi, Ishwardi of Pabna and Lalpur  of Natore districts were under BCSKS component. A total of  1200 farmers (300+400+500 for 1st, 2nd & 3rd years) were  taken into consideration to grow rapeseed and mustard in  between Aman & Boro. Each of the farmers were provided with  1kg rapeseed and mustard seeds, necessary fertilizers,  insecticide, fungicide & irrigation costs. Five rapeseed  and mustard varieties namely BARI sarisha 14 & 15, BINA  sarisha 4 & 7 and Unnata Tori 7 were used. Before rapeseed  and mustard cultivation, all the farmers grew Aman rice  &Boro rice after harvesting it. Among the five rapeseed and  mustard varieties BARI sarisha 14 & 15, BINA sarisha 4 and  Unnata Tori 7 were found to be suitable for the cropping  pattern Aman-rapeseed and mustard-Boro. These varieties  matured between 76.9 to 84.1 days. Per hectare seed yield  of the varieties ranged from 1266.5 kg (Unnata Tori 7) to  1822.0 kg (BARI sarisha 14) with an average of 1544.6 kg.  On an average per hectare cost of production, gross income  & gross return from rapeseed and mustard were tk. 27770,  78180 and 50471, respectively. On an average, over three  years gross income and gross return obtained from Aman and  Boro rice were tk. 52,273 &22237 and tk. 71,138 & 30,935  per hectare, respectively. Thus, an additional income of  tk. 50471 obtained by the farmers for growing rapeseed and  mustard in between Aman & Boro over that of Aman & Boro  only, and cropping intensity of the farmers raised into  300%.},
