Determinants of Cropping Intensity in Drought Prone Areas of Bogura

Abstract This study assessed cropping intensity and its influencing factors in the drought-prone areas of Bogura district, Bangladesh. Data were collected from 105 randomly selected farmers across four villages using a structured interview schedule. Cropping intensity, calculated as the ratio of gross cropped area to net sown area, ranged from 200% to 300%, with an average of 277.9%. The majority (84.7%) of farmers achieved more than 268% cropping intensity. Key factors positively influencing cropping intensity included the use of machinery for tilling, water management through underground water extraction, and the cultivation of short-duration crops. However, challenges such as surface water scarcity, poor drainage, inadequate infrastructure, low soil organic matter, and limited natural water bodies hindered intensification. Additionally, farmer’s education levels, annual income, and access to communication media significantly impacted cropping intensity. The study highlights the need for improved irrigation facilities, enhanced extension services, and better infrastructure to sustain high cropping intensity in drought-prone regions.
Keywords Cropping Intensity, Drought-Prone Areas, Agricultural Productivity, Farm Mechanization, Water Management, Soil Management, Crop Diversification.
