Abstract/ Executive Summary:

To study the economic performance of jute and Dhaincha cultivation, an experiment was carried out in Jute Research Regional Station, Kishoregonj of BJRI. The seeds of jute and Dhaincha were sown on 15 April. Results showed that all varieties of jute crop gave higher gross return and gross margin compare to Dhaincha. The highest benefit cost ratio (2.42) was obtained from Dhaincha. Among the jute varieties the highest gross return (Tk. 53,865/-), gross margin (Tk. 30,965/-) and benefit cost ratio (2.35) was obtained from the variety O-72.

Keywords: Gross return, Gross margin, Benefit cost ratio.

Location: Jute Research Regional Station, Kishoreganj

Start Date: 00-04-2005

End Date: 00-08-2005

Program Area: Farm Mechanization

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

1. To study the comparative economic performance of jute and dhaincha cultivation.

2. To find out the reason why the farmers are cultivating dhaincha instead of jute.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at the Jute Research Regional Station, Kishoreganj during April to August 2005. The experimental design was RCBD with 4 replications. Unit plot size was 4.5 x 3m. Four standard jute varieties (CVL-1, BJC-7370, O-9897 and O-72) were used to compare the economic performance with Dhaincha, Standard cultural practices were followed during the crops growing period. Data on fibre and stick yield of jute and stick yield of Dhaincha were measured and analysed following standard statistical procedures.
