Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted in 3 locations namely Faridpur, Kishoregonj and Rangpur over 2 years (1992, 1993) on relative contribution of component technologies in jute production. The use of balance fertilizer and timely weeding, planting & intercultural operations provided significantly higher yield as compared to farmers’ practice. Other components of improved technologies viz. improved seed, line sowing, insect-pest & disease control, improved drainage condition had also provided significantly higher yield as compared to farmers’ practice. Shifting from traditional to improved jute production had 42.20% extra yield over farmers’ practice.

Keywords: Develop, Techonology, Jute, Production

Location: Faridpur, Kishoregonj and Rangpur.

Start Date: 00-00-1992

End Date: 00-00-1993

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To develop location specific technology package to enhance production in farm level.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted in 3 major jute growing areas of Bangladesh viz., Faridpur, Kishoregonj and Rangpur for two consecutive jute growing seasons of 1992 and 1993. There were 8 treatments including 2 controls, namely farmers practice and improved technology which included all of the components of improved technology: (i) improved seed, (ii) line sowing, (iii) balanced fertilizer, (iv) timely weeding-planting & intercultural operation, (v) insect-pest & disease control and (vi) improved drainage condition. These components have been taken also as an individual treatment by incorporating it with farmers practice. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 4 replications in 6m×4m unit plots. Spacing between rows was 30cm. (for line sowing and improved technology treatments) and that between plots was 60cm. Seeds were sown by 3 rd week of March and the locally available seed (mostly improved cultivars) was taken for farmers practice and O-9897 for improved technology experiments. Irrespective of soil type (location) a uniform dose of fertilizer was applied in all of the 3 locations. In the treatments such as, in improved seed (IS) and improved technology (IT); 100-50-90 kg/ha of Urea, TSP and MP; were applied. In rest of the treatments including the farmers practice (FP); 50-25-45 kg/ha of Urea, TSP and MP respectively were applied. Three weeding including one raking was conducted at 15, 35 and 50 days after emergence of the seedlings. Data of fibre yield (t/ha) and that of yield contributing characters (plant height and plant base diameter) was collected and analyzed statistically.
