Farmers get good yield of mustard

Satkhira: Mustard growers of the district are all happy after having a good harvest of mustard with a high-yielding new variety, ‘Bari Sarisha-14’, this year, reports UNB.
According to agriculture officials, the farmers here harvested 1.5 metric tons of mustard per hectare by cultivating the new variety, which is double than the local variety ‘Tori-7’.
A field camp on the mustard harvest was recently held at Bharashimla field in Kaliganj upazila to promote the new variety—‘Bari Sarisha-14’.
As soil of the area has been found slat-tolerant one, farmers have the opportunity to make money by easily cultivating this new mustard variety, the agriculture officials said.
As part of the expansion of mustard cultivation, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) encouraged the farmers to bring their lands under ‘Bari Sarisha-14’ variety.
Dr Md Abdur Rouf, joint secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, said the cultivation of ‘Bari Sarisha-14’ variety is easy as the farmers can harvest their crop within 75-80 days at minimum cost.
