Addressing constraints to pulses in cereals based cropping systems in North West BD
● Successfully demonstrated the cultivation of lentil and chickpea in high barind track
● Awareness creation about multi-crop planters (VMP)
● Low cost strip and zero till planters improved and tested for a range of crops and soils
● Mini-mill prototype designed and demonstrated
● Operators training on the use of multi-crop planters and mini-mill prototype conducted successfully

Expanding the area for Rabi-season cropping in southern BD● About 200,000 ha of land in SB lie fallow in winter
Government support for wheat was not encouraging Salinity and terminal heat – major constraints
● Varieties identified – relatively tolerant to salinity and higher temperature during grain filling stage (e.g. BARI Gom 25) through PVS
● Wheat in southern BD with acceptable yield (2.5 t/yield even planted under late condition i.e. up to 15 December)
● Learning from this project are integrated into the CSISA expansion in BD

Accelerating seed multiplication to combat the threat of stem rust in wheat
Objectives
To ensure fast replacement of existing commercial varieties that are vulnerable to new races of stem rust (Ug99) through accelerated seed multiplication and dissemination of new rust resistant varieties working with NARS, national seed programs and farmers

Progress1. Bangladesh - BARI Gom 26 (BAW 1120 i.e.
Francolin, V01078) 2. Nepal – Vijaya (Francolin)3. Afghanistan – Chonte, Misr 1 (Misr 2, and
3) - massive scale 4. Egypt – Misr 1, Misr 2. 5. Pakistan – (V04178 – Released?)6. Ethiopia – Danda a (Picaflor#1) -Middle
elevation, Kakaba (Danphe#1) -higher elevation
1. Government is very supportive to multiply these varieties in a massive scale.

A. CA based demonstrations using Ug99 resistant lines/varieties
● Possible combinations for CA demonstrations (few examples):
Raised bed vs flat sowing (30% residue) Strip till vs flat sowing (30% residue)
● Machine Operators’ training ● CA based adaptive diamond trials - Wheat -
rice - maize/mungbean pattern.

SummarySummary Increased awareness among R &D leaders
Stem Rust (race Ug99) is a devastating disease Significant progress have made to mitigate the
threat Release better varieties - urgently needed There are still some challenges.
Sustainability of large scale seed multiplication and seed marketing
Buy back of pre-release seed by private companies
Affected multiplication of pipeline varieties Varieties resistant to Ug99 are not always
outperforming established varieties

Sustainable intensification of R-M production systems
Objectives● Assess and prioritize constraints to, and opportunities
for, uptake of improved management options in R-M systems
● Evaluate and identify elite maize germplasm tolerant of excess moisture
● Develop locally adapted management solutions for high-yielding, profitable, resource-efficient, and sustainable R-M systems (CA & nutrient management)
● Build capacity and disseminate key technologies for R-M systems
![Page 17: Annual Meeting Global Conservation Agriculture Program March 28, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/5681358d550346895d9cf83d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Progress
● Capacity building of researchers and field/scientific assistants on all aspects of the experiments
● Increased awareness about CA among researchers and field/scientific assistants, farmers, govt. and non-govt. officials, and media persons
● Introduced seeding machinery and CA practices in farmers’ fields in completely new areas (e.g. Comilla, Rangpur, Paba-Rajshahi)
● Improved understanding of crop responses to N, P, and K through NM evaluation and omission plot trials across project sites
● Variability among maize hybrids on water logging tolerance
![Page 18: Annual Meeting Global Conservation Agriculture Program March 28, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/5681358d550346895d9cf83d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Future focus● Analysis, synthesis and interpretations of those
data and write-up, including economic analysis● Continue emphasis on CA based Crop
Management and NM evaluation trials for maize ● Refine the NM software for Rice and Maize● Focus on dissemination activities (improved
seeds, large-scale delivery of maize and DSR with PTOS and zero/strip tillage, etc.) -> inclined plate device
● Focus on communication activities (brochures, etc.)

New CSISA Expansion in B/Desh● CIMMYT, IRRI, WorldFish● 5-year investment from USAID – Bangladesh
(FtF- $24.4 m)● Enterprise-based diversified strategy● Emphasis on technology delivery, capacity
building, and adaptive research (no upstream research, breeding, or policy)
● Formation of four new hubs in the South BD● Strengthening of existing hubs in Central and
Northwest (3X more resources at hubs)
![Page 20: Annual Meeting Global Conservation Agriculture Program March 28, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062720/5681358d550346895d9cf83d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

What has worked● Strip till – maize, wheat and
legumes● Bed planting – wheat, maize ● Training
Machine operators training Whole family training

What hasn’t worked well
●Service provider concept●Encouraging local manufacturers●Residue management
