Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The secondary information was collected from different sources of the Library of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Dhaka during the period from April to till December, 2015. The data sources were IJSG reports, BJRI reports, Bangladesh Journal of Jute and Fibre Research; Jute and Jute fabrics, Bangladesh, News letter of BJMA, BJMC and BJSA, DAE, FAO statistics, different books, direct communications with related office and persons. Total labour force in agriculture 32 million in 2011 of which 4 million farmers are engaged in jute cultivation. There are 219 jute mills in Bangladesh. Among them 86 are under BJSA, 106 are under BJMA of which 88 are running and 27 are under BJMC. There are approximately 1,65,501 workers employed in the jute mills of Bangladesh. The average production of BJSA mills, BJMA mills and BJMC mills are 422,000, 160,000 and 172,923 MT of jute products, respectively. The long staple fiber has high tensile strength and low extensibility. Its luster determines quality. It also has some heat and fire resistance. Jute is a biodegradable features. Jute includes good insulating and antistatic properties, as well as having low thermal conductivity and moderate moisture regain. Jute has the ability to be blended with other fibres, both synthetic and natural, and accepts cellulosic dye classes such as natural, basic, vat, sulfur, reactive, and pigment dyes. Jute can also be blended with wool. If proper research and development works in the different stages of manufacture of jute fibre/yarn/fabrics with special emphasis on the developments in the mechanical and chemical machinery sides are carried out, jute will get a good place in the textile world along with cotton, wool and such fibres.

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

This paper reviews jute (Corchorus spp.) weeds identification, population in the field, control measures and other most related important management activities.

Methodology:

The study was based on secondary data. The secondary information used was collected from different sources of the Library of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Dhaka during the period from April to till September, 2015. The data sources were International Jute Study Group (IJSG) reports, IJSG website, BJRI reports, Bangladesh Journal of Jute and Fibre Research; Jute and Jute fabrics, Bangladesh, News letter of Bangladesh Jute Mills Association (BJMA), Bangladesh Jute Mills Corporation (BJMC) and Bangladesh Jute Spinners Association (BJSA). Department of Agricultural Extension, Food and Agriculture Organization statistics, different books, direct communications with related office and persons, accessing internet and using different national and international journals.

Achievement/Findings:

In conclusion it may be pointed out that any fibre can make better place in the tomorrow’s world fibre market if it is backed by proper research and development works. It is equally applicable to jute also. If proper research and development works in the different stages of manufacture of jute fibre/yarn/fabrics with special emphasis on the developments in the mechanical and chemical machinery sides are carried out, jute will get a good place in the textile world along with cotton, wool, and such fibres. We shall have to open the future possibility through coordinated efforts for a new vision for jute in this direction.
