Abstract/ Executive Summary:

With a view to identify the effective does and optimum period of top dressing of urea in jute crop for reducing production cost of BJRI Tossa Pat 5 a field experiment was undertaken at Jute Research Regional Station, of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Kishoreganj during April to August 201 8. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with three replications. The treatments were three Top dressing dose of Urea (gm -2): D. viz. D1 = 10-14-0 gm-2, D2 = 12-16-0 gm-2 and D3 = 12-14-10 gm-2., four Top dressing period (DAG): A. viz. A1 = At Basal time-35-0, A2 = At Basal time-25-45, A3 = 05-35-0 DAG and A4 = 05-25-45 and Control (Recommended dose of fertilizer, line sowing, weeding and other intercultural operations were maintained). In treatment D1, 10 gm-2, 14 gm-2, 0 gm-2 top dressing dose of Urea were applied at the period treatment of A1: At Basal time, 35 and 0 DAG, respectively. Similarly in treatment D1, the treatments A 2, A3 and A4 were applied. Similarly the D2 and D3 dose treatments were applied at the period of A 1, A2, A3 and A4 treatments. Thinning operations were done properly in every treatment, however weeding were not practiced in any treatment plots except control. BJRI Tossa Pat 5 variety was used as study material. Results revealed that plant population, plant height, base diameter and bark thickness were influenced significantly due to top dressing does of urea except fibre yields and stick yields of BJRI Tossa Pat 5. The highest plant population, plant height, base diameter and bark thickness were recorded in D3 treatment. Numerically higher fibre yields and stick yields were found in D3 also. The all yield and yield contributing parameters differed significantly due to top dressing period. The highest plant population, plant height, base diameter, bark thickness, fibre yields and stick yields were recorded in A 4 treatment. The treatment A4D3 contributed significantly highest plant height of 3.18 m, Base diameter of 15.02 mm, bark thickness of 3.17 mm, fibre yield of 3.05 tha^-1and stick yield of 6.97 tha^-1 in interaction. Total Variable Cost (TVC) of 1,14,220/- Tk.ha^-1 was recorded the highest in control plot, however 65,490/- Tk.ha-1 in A4D3 treatments. Benefit Cost Ratio-(BCR) was the highest of 2.58 in A4D3 and it was higher than every treatments and control. The cost (TVC) was reduced in the treatment A4D3 of 48,730/- Tk.ha-1 (43%) from the control where all intercultural managements were practiced.

End Date: 01-08-2018

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

The experiment was undertaken to identify the effective doses and appropriate time of urea top dressing for higher yield with reducing weeding cost.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Jute Research Regional Station, Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Kishoreganj in 2018 followed by RCBD design with three replications in a view to manage jute field weeds through Urea fertilizer top dressing at different days/period after germination (DAG) of jute crop. The treatments were three Top dressing dose of Urea (gm^-2): D. viz. D1 = 10-14-0 gm^-2, D2 = 12-16-0 gm^-2 and D3 = 12-14-10 gm^-2., four Top dressing period (DAG): A. viz. A1 = At Basal time-35-0, A2 = At Basal time-25-45 DAG, A3 = 05-35-0 DAG and A4 = 05-25-45 DAG and Control: Recommended dose of fertilizer, line sowing, weeding and other intercultural operations. In treatment D1, 10 gm^-2, 14 gm^-2, 0 gm-2 top dressing dose of Urea were applied at the period treatment of A1: At Basal time, 35 and 0 DAG, respectively. Similarly in treatment D1, the treatments A2, A3 and A4 were applied. Similarly the D2 and D3 dose treatments were applied at the period of A1, A2, A3 and A4 treatments. Thinning operations were done properly in every treatments, however weeding were not practiced in any treatment plots except control. On the other hand weeding, thinning and other intercultural managements were operated properly in control plots. BJRI Tossa Pat 5 (O- 795) was used as study material. The unit plot size 3m X 2.1m. Space between plots, block and around the field was 1m with 20 cm deep drain. Line to line distance was 30 cm. Only recommended TSP and MoP to the other experimental plots were incorporated at the time of final land preparation. However, recommended dose of Urea, TSP and MoP to the control plot were incorporated at the time of final land preparation. The jute (BJRI Tossa Pat 5) seeds were sown on 2 April, 2018 and harvested at 2 August, 2018. The fibre yield, yield attributes and cost of production data were recorded and analyzed. The mean difference among the treatments were adjudged by the Duncan`s New Multiple Range Test

Achievement/Findings:

The treatment A4D3 (05-25-45 DAG × 12-14-10 gm-2) contributed significantly the highest fibre yield and yield contributing parameters. Gross Margin and BCR were higher in A4D3 treatment also. In A4D3, the production cost was reduced at 43%. Therefore, It could be concluded that cost and return analysis of urea fertilizer top dressing for weed management at different period of plant age of jute crop was analyzed highly profitable.
