Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at Central Station, Dhaka to characterize of selected fifteen accessions of deshi jute collected from different sources were sown on 1 April, 1995 along with the check varieties CVL-1 and CC-45. The experiment was sown in a mini plot of 3 meter length of 5 rows for each accession. Row to row distance was 30 and plant to plant distance was 5-6 cm in rows. The unit plot size was 3m x 1.2 m for each accession and plot to plot distance was 1 meter. Pigmentation data were collected at 60 days after sowing. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing and post harvest data were collected.The accessions were characterized for their morph-agronomic attributes as per Corchorus descriptor. Based on contributing characters viz. technical height, leaf angle, leaf length, leaf width, petiole length, node number, base diameter of stem, middle diameter of stem, top diameter of stem, core diameter, dry fiber weight and dry stick weight accessions 3309, 3490, 2210 and 2318 performed better than the check varieties.

Keywords: Germplasm, Characterization, Attributes, Yield

Location: Central Station, Dhaka

Start Date: 01-04-1995

End Date: 01-08-1995

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To characterize some of deshi jute (Corchorus capsularis L.) germplasm as per Corchorus Descriptor for their morpho-agronomic attributes.

Methodology:

The experiment was sown in a mini plot of 3 meter length of 5 rows for each accession. Row to row distance was 30 and plant to plant distance was 5-6 cm in rows. The unit plot size was 3m x 1.2 m for each accession and plot to plot distance was 1 meter. The accessions viz. 447, 2134, 2147, 2210, 2318, 2415, 3232, 3259, 3309, 3337, 3449, 3485, 3490, 3492 and 3553 were sown on 1 April, 1995 with check variety CVL-1 and CC-45. Other standard cultural and intercultural practices were followed. Pigmentation data were collected at 60 days after sowing. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing and post harvest data were collected.
