Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiments were conducted in the field of Jute Agriculture Experimental Station (JAES), Manikgonj and Kishoregonj Regional Station (KRS), Kishoregonj of BJRI. The experiments were conducted during the period April 2012 to January 2013. Six different types of containers viz. tin pot, plastic pot, poly bag, gunny bag lined with polythene, cloth bag, and IRRI poly bag , two different seed treatments viz. Provax-200 and BAU- Biofungicide and two locations viz. JAES and KRS were used for the present study. The highest disease incidence (25.64%) was encountered in case of interaction among cloth bag storing seeds and control condition. Interaction between different types of containers and seed treatments, the highest germination (81.33%) and stick yield (12.01 t ha^-1) were recorded in interaction effect of tin pot storing seeds and BAU- Biofungicide treated seeds. The highest fibre yield (5.32 t ha-¹) was recorded in interaction of poly bag storing seeds and BAU- Biofungicide treated seeds. The highest seed yield (702.54 kg ha^-1) was observed in interaction of gunny bag lined with polythene storing seeds and BAU- Biofungicide treated seeds. Interaction between different types of containers, seed treatments and locations, the highest disease incidence (26.07%) was encountered in interaction effect of gunny bag lined with polythene storing seeds, control condition and KRS. The highest fibre yield (5.32 t ha^-1) was recorded in interaction of poly bag storing seeds, BAU- Biofungicide treated seeds and JAES. Highest stick yield (12.01 t ha^-1) was recorded in interaction effect of IRRI poly bag storing seeds, BAU- Biofungicide treated seeds and JAES. Highest seed yield (740.29 kg ha^-1) was observed in interaction of gunny bag lined with polythene storing seeds, BAU- Biofungicide treated seeds and JAES.

Objectives:

The present study was carried out with the objective was to find out suitable seed management for quality jute seeds and fibre production.

Methodology:

The experiments were conducted in the field of Jute Agriculture Experimental Station (JAES), Manikgonj and Kishoregonj Regional Station (KRS), Kishoregonj of BJRI. The experiments were conducted during the period April 2012 to January 2013. Seed of CVL-1 variety was selected for this study. For this experiment six different types of storage containers were used, viz. T1= Tin pot, T2= Plastic pot, T3= Poly bag having 25 μm thickness, T4= Gunny bag lined with polythene, T5= Cloth bag and T6= IRRI Poly bag (Super Grain bag II Z) having 78 μm thickness. Seeds were treated with: (i) Provax-200 WP (0.4% of seed weight), (ii) BAU- Bio fungicide @ 3% of seed weight (Hossain, 2011b), iii) Control (Untreated). The experiments were conducted following Randomized Block Design (RCBD) having three replications. The size of the unit plot was 10m2 (5m x 2m) and the distance between plots and replications were 1.0 m and 1.0 m, respectively. During final land preparation Urea 60 kg, Triple Super Phosphate 50 kg and Muriate of Potash 25 kg per hectare were applied (Islam, 2009 and Islam et. al. 2008). After 15-20 days of seed germination first top dressing with the urea @ 60 kg and again another 15 days later of first top dressing, the 2nd top dressing was given with 60 kg per hectare. Top dressing of urea was done very carefully so that it will not come in contact with the plant parts. To meet sulphur and zinc deficiency, gypsum and zinc oxide @ 45 kg and 5 kg per hectare were applied (Islam, 2009 and Islam et. al. 2008). Seeds were sown in line on 18 April, 2012 in Kishoregonj Regional Station (KRS), Kishoregonj and 30 April in Jute Agriculture Experimental Station (JAES), Manikgonj. Row to row and plant to plant distance were maintained as 1M and 1 M, respectively. The seed rate for CVL-1 was 5 kg per hectare. Relation between seed borne fungal pathogens and germination was observed with regression equations. Relationships between disease severity and seed, fibre and stick yield were also observed by linear regression lines and equations (Gomez and Gomez, 1984).

Achievement/Findings:

Therefore, the following conclusion may be drawn for quality seed and fibre production from the findings of this study: 1. BAU- Biofungicide (3% of seed weight) can successfully be used for treating seeds to avoid Provax-200 for the production of quality healthy jute seeds with higher seed and fibre yield. 2. Fibre and seed yield were found to decrease with the increase of seed borne infection of fungal pathogens. 3. Seed germination and disease incidence varied significantly with respect to storage container, seed treatment and location. So, the following recommendation may be drawn for quality seed and fibre production from the findings of this study: Quality of jute seeds can be maintained by storage in tin pot and seed treated of BAU- Biofungicide enhance the quality and yield of the jute seed and fibre in the field.
