Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted at Jute Agriculture Experimental Station (JAES), Manikganj, Jute Research Sub Station (SS), Jessore and Patuakhali in 2016 to determine the optimum sowing date of the advanced breeding line Mesta SAMU’93. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with four replications and cultivar HS-24 was used as control. Crops were sown on four different dates like 30 March, 15 April, 30 April and 15 May regarded as treatment. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing. All crops were attained normal cultural practices. Results showed that advanced breeding line SAMU’93 sown on 15 April gave significantly higher fibre yield at Manikganj (2.79 t ha^-1), Jessore(3.14 t ha^-1) and Patuakhali (3.09 t ha^-1).

Keywords: Mesta, Sowing date, Yield, Fibre

Location: Jute Agriculture Experimental Station (JAES), Manikganj, Jute Research Sub Station (SS), Jessore and Patuakhali

Start Date: 30-03-2016

End Date: 20-07-2016

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To determine the appropriate date of sowing for advanced mesta breeding line SAMU’93, the experiment was, therefore, undertaken at different agro-ecological zones of Bangladesh for higher fibre yield.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Jute Agriculture Experimental Station (JAES), Manikganj, Jute Research Sub Station (SS), Jessore and Patuakhali in 2016. The experiment was laid out in RCBD with three replications. Unit plot size was 4.0m x 2.5m. Space between plot to plot and around the field was 1.0 m and between replications 1.5 m. The advanced breeding line of Mesta SAMU’93 was used as study material and cultivar HS-24 was controlling. The crop was sown on assign dates regarded as treatment. Seeds were sown in a line of 30 cm apart. Other cultural and intercultural practices were followed as per BJRI recommendation. Plants were harvested 120 days after sowing.
