Abstract/ Executive Summary:

To asses the effectiveness of increased population on weed infestation and seed yield performance of late jute seed crop an experiment was conducted at Rangpur, Kishoreganj Jessore and Dinajpur Research Station of BJRI during August, 2008 to January, 2009. It was found from the experiment that weeding and plant population significantly affected on seed yield. In case of weeding, the highest seed yield was obtained from double weeding. For plant population, the highest seed yield was obtained from 35 plants per square meter.

Keywords: Weed infestation, Weeding, O-72.

Location:

Start Date: 15-08-2008

End Date: 31-01-2009

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

(i) To find out the effectiveness of increased population on weed infestation and the seed yield performance.

(ii) To minimize the production cost of late jute seed crop.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Rangpur, Kishoreganj Jessore and Dinajpur Research Station of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute during the period of August, 2008 to January, 2009. It was laid out in RCB design with four replications having unit plot size 3m x4m. The experiment consisted of 3 weeding (no weeding, single seeding and double weeding). The jute variety O-72 seeds were sown on 23 August, 2008. the crop was harvested on 01 February, 2009. Jute seed yield and yield contributing characters were taken using BJRI standard methods. The recorded data were analyzed using standard statistical procedures.
