Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted during in 2006 to 2008 at five Regional Research Stations of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute (BJRI). The treatment comprises five locations, namely, Manikganj; Kishoreganj; Faridpur; Rangpur and Chandina (Comilla); and three different dates viz., 15 March; 30 March and 15 April. Breeding line BJC-2197 was used as study material and recommended cultivar CVL-1 was the control. Fibre yield differed significantly due to date of sowing. At 30 March sowing gave the highest fibre and stick yields at all the five mentioned locations. There were no significance differences due to variety. Manikganj showed the highest fibre yield. The control variety CVL-1 showed the highest base diameter, fibre and stick yields. At 30 March sowing in terms of variety x date of sowing interaction, location x variety interaction showed that significantly highest fibre yield was produced by CVL-1 at Manikganj. In terms of interaction effect of location x date of sowing significantly highest fibre yield was produced in 30 March sowing at Manikganj. However, the interaction of location x variety x date of sowing were found unaffected for the yield and all yield attributes standard.

Location:

Start Date: 01-03-2006

End Date: 31-12-2008

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To assess the appropriate date of sowing for advanced deshi jute breeding line (BJC-2197), the experiment was undertaken in different agro-ecological zones for higher yield of Bangladesh.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted during 2006 to 2008 at five Regional Research Stations of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute (BJRI). The treatments comprises five locations, namely, L₁ = Jute Agricultural Experimental Station (JAES), Manikganj; L₂ = Regional Research Station, Kishoreganj; L₃ = Regional Research Station, Faridpur; L₄ = Regional Research Station, Rangpur and L₅ = Regional Research Station, Chandina (Comilla) and three different dates viz., 15 March (T₁); 30 March (T₂) and 15 April (T₃). Breeding line BJC-2197 (V₁) was used as study material and recommended cultivar CVL-1 (V₂) was the control. The experiment was laid in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The crops were attended normal cultural practices at per recommendation i.e. improved seed, line sowing, recommended dose of fertilizer and plant protection measures. Seeds were collected from breeding division of BJRI. Intercultural operations such as weeding, thinning and irrigation were done as and when necessary. The crops were harvested at field duration of 120 days in every location. Three years data of yield and yield attributing characters were analyzed with the help of computer statistical package MSTAT. The mean differences among the treatments were adjudged by least significant test (LSD) at 0.01 level (Gomez and Gomez, 1984).
