Paddy Season in Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Paddy season in Bangladesh:

Depending on the time of cultivation, paddy in Bangladesh is divided into three parts. The three main divisions are Aush, Aman and Boro.

Aush Paddy:

However, this paddy can be cultivated at any time of the year. The names of aush paddy found in Bangladesh are: Atlai, Cuttackara, Kumari, Charanak, Dular, Dhalashait, Dharail, Patuakhali, Pashur, Panbira, Pashpai, Pukhi, Marichbeti, Harinmuda, Hasikalmi, Suryamukh, Shani, Shaita, Bhaira. Ribbon, black goat, kharajamari, mulkeAus, Kalamanik, Bhaturi etc.

Aman Paddy:

A corruption of the Sanskrit word 'Haiman' or 'Haimantik'. Rice special. Its other names are Aguni and Haimantik. Paddy is cultivated in most of the lands during the aman season. [4] There are three types of aman paddy. E.g.

1. Ropa Aman: It is so named because it produces rice by preparing seedlings and planting those seedlings. Ropa Aman Seeds are sown in the seed bed in the month of Jaistha-Ashar, Ropa Kar is planted in the main land in the month of Shravan-Bhadra and paddy is harvested in the month of Agrahayan-Poush.

2. Woven Aman: This Aman is sprinkled and woven. Bona Aman Seeds are sown in the field in the month of Chaitra-Baishakh and ripe paddy is harvested in the month of Agrahayan. It is also called Ashara Aman.

3. Bawa Aman: This aman is produced in the bill area. For this reason it is also called aman in deep water bill.

Boro Paddy:

Boro paddy is mainly dependent on irrigation. Seed sowing starts from the month of Kartik. Paddy is harvested till Baishakh-Jaistha. Since the introduction of high yielding boro paddy, there has been a drastic change in paddy cultivation and the entire agricultural system. As a result, on the one hand, the cultivation of aus paddy has declined alarmingly, while on the other hand, the cultivation of conventional crops such as pulses, oilseeds, vegetables, fruits, sweet potatoes, spices, etc. has declined. However, as this paddy grows in spring, it is called basantik paddy. The names of these varieties of paddy are- Aman Boro, Khayaboro, Tupa, Pashushail, Banajira, Boroboro etc.
