520 _aMaize has considerable potential for increasing the total food supply without seriously affecting the production of other crops. It has been found that the crop can fit in the existing cropping pattern in Bangladesh. A number of studies were undertaken at central, regional, and sub-stations of BARI as well as farmers' fields to determine appropriate management practices for growing maize as both a sole crop and in combination with other crops. This paper focuses on experiments conducted at different locations in the country. Encouraging results from Maize + Groundnut, Maize + Mungbean/Blackgram, Maize+ Radish, Hybrid Maize + Soybean/Groundnut, Tomato + Maize, Potato+ Maize, Maize+ Carrot/Bush bean etc, were obtained. Equivalent yield and monetary benefits were found to be higher in all of the intercropping combinations. On the On-Farm Research Division, BARI designed and tested several maize based farmer alternative cropping patterns at different Agro-ecological zones with farmer participation. Of those, five cropping patterns were found promising and were recommended for cultivation, namely Maize-T.Aman-Potato, Maize-Mungbean-Mustard, Maize-Fallow-Wheat, Maize-T.Aman-Wheat, and Mungbean-T.Aman-Maize.
