Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of different line spacing against jute diseases in field and on jute yield and yield contributing characters at Jute research regional station, Faridpur in 2019. We found that, the yield and yield contributing characters did not differ significantly except stick yield (/ha) in which stick yield significantly differed from variety to variety from one another in response to different line spacing methods. Results also revealed that the percentage of disease infestation significantly differed from one another regarding three varieties. Fibre yield was not significantly differed by using different line spacing of jute seed sowing but the higher yield was found in case of line spacing 25 cm followed by 30 cm and broadcasting method. Disease infestation was always higher in the broadcasting method followed by 25 cm and 30 cm. Similar results were also found in the previous year 2018.

Keywords: Line spacing, Disease, Jute, Yield

Location: Faridpur Regional Station

Start Date: 04-04-2019

End Date: 12-10-2020

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

Development of suitable line spacing in contrast of different disease incidence.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Jute research regional station, Faridpur in 2019. Three varieties of jute (Corchorussp.) plant such as O-9897, BJC-2142 and an exotic variety JRO-524 was grown in Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) with three replications having unit plot size of (4 m. x 3 m.) = 12 sq.m. at jute research regional station, Faridpur. Space between plot to plot and around the field 1.0 m. and between the replications 1.50 m. was maintained. Different line spacing 30 cm, 25 cm and broadcasting (BC) method were maintained for the sowing of jute seed. The Broadcasting (BC) method was used as control. Normal agronomical practices and fertilizer doses were applied as per BJRI recommendations. Observations of disease incidence were recorded at the time to time. Besides those following records were taken during the study period-

1. Date of sowing and germination,

2. Plant population at harvest,

3. Plant height and base diameter at harvest,

4. Fibre and stick weight/plot.

Achievement/Findings:

It can be concluded from the above results that the effect of different line spacing on jute diseases in the field and on jute yield, yield contributing characters and fibre yield was not significantly affected by using different line spacing of jute seed sowing but the higher yield was found in case of line spacing 25 cm followed by 30 cm and broadcasting method. Disease infestation was always higher in the broadcasting method followed by 25 cm and 30 cm. Moreover disease infestation was always higher in exotic variety JRO-524 followed by BJC-2142 and O-9897 which is similar to the findings of previous year results. It can be recommended that 25 cm line spacing method is best for more yield and quality jute fibre production.
