Abstract

Assessing the determinants, challenges and opportunities of pulses crops in southern char land areas like -Madaripur, Shariatpur and Barishal was made through an extensive field survey during 2018-2019. The study showed that education, family members, farm size, experience, and training are the significant determinants of willingness to cultivate more pulses crop. The study revealed that pulses production is becoming challenging due to losses of agricultural char land, adverse climatic condition, lack of technological knowledge, attack of insect and diseases, lack of quality seeds, problems regarding marketing of pulses crop. But still there are lots of opportunities to grow more pulses with the fulfillment of the following criteria like proper utilization of fallow char land, use of flood or salt tolerant varieties, use of quality seed, adoption of new technology, and ensuring fair price of pulses crops.
