Abstract/ Executive Summary:

No significant effect of intercropping on tiller, cane yield and pol % cane was found in the experiment but significant effect was found in millable cane, first and second intercrop yield. From the result it was found that total adjusted cane yields of sugarcane and intercropping packages were higher compared to sole sugarcane. Among the intercropping packages where jute was grown difference was found in relation to total adjusted cane yield. The highest adjusted cane yield (121.93 t ha-1) was found in T2 {T 1 + jute (variety OM-1)-MB} followed by T4 {T 1 + jute (variety O-9897)-MB} and the lowest was recorded from T1 where no intercrops were grown. The overall result revealed that all the jute varieties tested in the experiment were found suitable to grow with sugarcane in paired row planting system and may be recommended for large scale adoption in farmers’ field for quality seed production.

Keywords: Sugarcane, Jute, Mung-bean

Location: BSRI Farm

Start Date: 18-10-2007

End Date: 19-12-2008

Program Area: Farming System

Non-commodity: Intercropping

Objectives:

i) To find out jute variety for seed production in jute-mungbean intercropping system with sugarcane ii) To supply quality jute seed to the farmers

Methodology:

Sugarcane was grown in paired rows at 140cm-60cm x 30cm spacing and intercrops was grown in vacant spaces. The brief statements on methodology is given below: First Intercrops : Jute Second Intercrop : Mungbean Total treatments : 10, Plot size: 8m x 8m, Replication: 3, Design: RCB Treatments : T1 : Paired row cane (PRC) only T2 : PRC + potato - mungbean T3 : PRC + jute (variety OM-1) - mungbean T4 : PRC + jute (variety O-72) - mungbean T5 : PRC + jute (variety O-9897) – mungbean T6 : Sole potato T7 : Sole jute (variety OM-1) T8 : Sole jute (variety O-72) T9 : Sole jute (variety O-9897) T10 : Sole mungbean Method of planting : STP (Bag settling) 1st Intercrop & sugarcane : September/October 2007 2nd Intercrop : 15 February 2008 Cane variety : Isd 36
