3. 25th AEZ OF BANGLADESH
LEVEL BARIND TRACT

4. Introduction
 This region is developed over Madhupur clay. It
occupies about 80% of the Barind Tract. It differs
from 26 in occupying a level landscape 27 & 28 in
shallowly-weathered, impervious, poorly drained
soils.
 Floodplain regions in mainly acidic soils developed
over mineral poor Madhupur clay above river flood
level.

5.  Location and extent: Dinajpur, Gaibandha,
Jaipurhat, Bogra, Noagaon, Sirajganj and
Natore districts.
 Total area: 5049 km2
 Sub regions: Two

6. Physiography
 Almost level, with 60-90 cm local
differences in elevation. Relief is
locally irregular. In the west,
elevations gradually increase as this
region merges with the High Barind
Tract

7. Soils
Clayey 97%
Loamy

9. Present Land Use
 T. aman is the major crop. B. aus/T.
aus are also grown. DWA in low lands.
With irrigation early rabi crops
(potato, wheat) and HYV boro are
grown.

10. Crop Productivity Constraints
 Wet/flooded in rainy season and very dry in dry season. It
is bad for dry land crops.
 Low organic matter content, low soil fertility relative to
floodplains. Rapid decomposition of organic matter.
 Silty top soils are easily puddle when wet and which have
a strong plough pan. Breaking plough pan, low bearing
capacity when wet.
 Variable pre-monsoon rainfall, and occasional dry breaks
in rain
 Poor rural road communications
