Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was carried out at Jute Agriculture Experimental Station Manikganj and Jute Research Regional Station Faridpur in 1999 to find out the extend of yield as affected due to varied fertilizer dose and minimize cost of production through manipulation of agronomic practices. Four different fertilizer management system viz., T₁=No fertilizer (Control), T₂=Only urea as recommended, T₃= 20% less than recommended NPK fertilizer, T₄=Recommended NPK fertilizer, and Jute variety O-9897 & CVL-1 were involved as treatment. The result showed that the highest fibre yield was obtained at Manikganj by the fertilizer management of Recommended NPK fertilizer (2.91 t/ha) which was followed by only urea as recommended and 20% less than recommended NPK fertilizer. The lowest fibre yield was recorded by no fertilizer treatment. The variety O-9897 was gave better yield than CVL-1. The result also showed that the highest fibre yield was obtained at Faridpur by the fertilizer management of Recommended NPK fertilizer (2.65 t/ha) which was followed by only urea as recommended and 20% less than recommended NPK fertilizer. The lowest fibre yield was recorded by no fertilizer treatment. The variety O-9897 was gave better yield than CVL-1

Keywords: Jute, Fertilizer management, Recommended NPK

Location: Jute Agriculture Experimental Station Manikganj and Jute Research Regional Station Faridpur.

Start Date: 01-04-1999

End Date: 31-12-1999

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

1. To find out the extend of yield as affected due to varied fertilizer dose.

2. To minimize cost of production through manipulation of agronomic practices.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Jute Agriculture Experimental Station Manikganj and Jute Research Regional Station Faridpur in 1999. Four different fertilizer management system viz., T₁=No fertilizer (Control), T₂=Only urea as recommended, T₃= 20% less than recommended NPK fertilizer, T₄=Recommended NPK fertilizer, and Jute variety O-9897 & CVL-1 were involved as treatment. Unit plot size was 3 m x 3 m, Space between plot to plot 60 cm and around the field & between replications 1 m were maintained. It was laid out in split plot design with three replications where fertilizer treatments were placed in main plot and crop variety was placed in sub plots. Seeds were sown in line of 30 cm apart. Other cultural and intercultural practices were attended as per BJRI's recommendation. The mean difference among the treatments were adjudged by the New Duncan`s Multiple Range Test.
