Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Results showed that the crop characters were not influenced significantly by sowing methods. It was observed that mean fiber yield was highest (5.40 t ha^-1) in broadcasting method when seed were sown at 8.0 kg ha^-1and lowest fiber yield (4.17 t ha^-1) was produced at seed rate of 6.0 kg ha^-1. In line sowing, highest fiber yield (5.24 t ha^-1) was obtained at 4.5 kg ha^-1 seed rate. Higher fiber yield in broadcasting and line sowing might be the contribution of plant height, base diameter and green weight.

Keywords: Seed rate, Yield and Tosa jute

Location: BINA sub-station farm at Rangpur

Start Date: 30-04-2014

End Date: 30-08-2014

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To evaluate the effect of seed rates on the yield and yield contributing characters of tos jute mutant

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at BINA Substation, Rangpur on the yield and yield contributing characters of tosa jute mutant. The mutant line O 97/90/72-3 was grown on April 30, 2014 under 2 methods of sowing i,e broadcasting and line sowing (30 cm row) with 3 seed rates ( 6.0 kg ha^-1, 7.0 kg ha^-1 and 8.0 kg ha^-1 in broadcasting and 3.5 kg ha^-1, 4.0 kg ha^-1 and 4.5 kg ha^-1 in line sowing) and harvested on August 30, 2014. The experiments were conducted in a RCB design with 3 replications. The recommended doses of fertilizers were applied. The data on yield attributes were recorded from randomly selected 10 plants while yield data were recorded from whole plots. All the data were analyzed statistically using MSTAT programme of computer and the mean values were adjudged by LSD. The results are discussed below
