Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at the experimental field of Regional Station of BJRI, Kalapara, Patuakhali from March 2013 to August 2013 to find out the optimum date of sowing, suitable variety and interaction between sowing date and variety on the fiber yield of white jute. The experiment was two factor factorial experiment, which consisted of three Corchoruscapsularis jute varieties and four sowing dates. The varieties were CVL-1, BJC-7370 and BJC-2142 and four sowing dates were viz. 15 March, 30 march, 15 April and 30 April. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results from the analyzed data showed that the growth and fiber yield parameters were varied significantly among varieties, due to on different sowing dates and in their combinations. There was no significant veriation among varieties in terms of plant height. Highest plant height (3.02 m) was found on 30 March sowing, which was statistically identical to 15 March (3.01 m) and 15 April (2.95 m ). Fiber yield per hectare was highest (2.52 t ha^-1) in variety CVL-1, which was statistically similar to BJC-7370 (2.39 t ha^-1). It was also clear that earlier sowing (15 March) produced highest (2.80 t ha^-1) fiber yield per hectare (ton) than late sowing (30 April) (1.74 t ha^-1). It can be recommended that CVL-1 is the best variety for fiber yield (2.99 t ha^-1) when sown on 15 March in the similar condition of the experiment area.

Keywords: Sowing date, Growth, Yield, White jute, Variety

Location: At the experimental field of Regional Station of BJRI, Kalapara, Patuakhali

Start Date: 00-03-2013

End Date: 00-08-2013

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

1.To find out the appropriate date of sowing for higher fiber yield and quality of white jute

2.To find out the varietal performance of white jute at different sowing dates in the southern region of Bangladesh.

3.To find out the interaction effect between different sowing dates and different white jute varieties.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at experimental field of Regional Station of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute ,Kalapara, Patuakhali, Bangladesh during the period from March, 2013 to August, 2013 in order to study the effect of planting date on different white jute varieties for fiber yield and quality.

Experimental material

CVL-1, BJC-7370 and BJC-2142 were used as study material in the experiment. The seeds were collected from Capsularis Department, Breeding Division, Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Dhaka. The varieties are annual herbaceous plant belonging to Tiliaceae family.

Treatments

The experiment consisted of three varieties and four sowing dates. The treatments are as follows:

Variety:

CVL-1 (V₁)
BJC-7370 (V₂) and
BJC-2142 (V₃)

Sowing date:

15^th March (S₁)
30^th March (S₂)
15^th April (S₃)
30^th April (S₄)
Treatment combinations

There were 12 treatment combinations obtained from the above treatments as follows:

V₁S₁

V₁S₂

V₁S₃

V₁S₄

V₂S₁

V₂S₂

V₂S₃

V₂S₄

V₃S₁

V₃S₂

V₃S₃

V₃S₄

The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The treatments were randomly assigned in each replication. There were 36 unit plots in the experiment. The size of each plot was 4m×2.5m. Each unit plot and block were separated from each other by 50 cm and 1m, respectively.

Sampling, harvesting and processing

Plants were harvested at maximum plant height stage. Ten sample plants (excluding border plants) were selected at random from each plot and harvested for recording of necessary data. After sampling one square meter area was harvested from the center of each plot.

Collection of data

Data on growth and fiber yield components were recorded on the following parameters:

Plant population at final thinning and harvest
Date of harvest
Plant height (cm)
Base diameter (cm)
Green weight with leaf (kg/10 Plants)
Green weight without leaf (kg/10 Plants)
Fiber weight per plant (g/10 Plants)
Fiber weight per plot (kg)
Stick weight per plant (g/10 Plants)
Stick weight per plot (kg)
Statistical analysis of data:

The collected data were analyzed statistically. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Least Significant Difference (LSD) test were doneto find out the significant difference among the treatment means (Zamanet al. 1982). The experimental data were analyzed by MSTAT-C software. Mean comparisons for treatment parameters were compared using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test at 5% level of significance (Gomez and Gomez, 1984).

Achievement/Findings:

Fiber yield of Capsularisvarieties differed among one another, variations were also observed at different days of sowing and their inter action. Variety CVL-1 was the superior variety in terms of fiber yield (2.52 t ha^-1) in Patuakhali region and suitable time of sowing was 15 March for the highest production (2.80 t ha^-1) of fiber yield.
