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. Two different disease management practices viz. Dithane M-45 and BAU- Biofungicide were used for the present study. Disease management showed the lowest disease incidence 1.98% and 1.87% at JAES and KRS, respectively with BAU- Biofungicide spraying and the highest disease incidence 4.26% and 4.47% at JAES and KRS, respectively were recorded under control condition. The highest seed yield (588.35 kg/ha), fibre yield (4.12 ton/ha) and stick yield (9.33 ton/ha) was recorded under BAU- Biofungicide sprayed plant and lowest seed yield (378.45 kg/ha), fibre yield (2.21 ton/ha) and stick yield (5.43 ton/ha) under control treatment.

Keywords: Effect, Disease management, Disease incidence, Seed quality, Yield.

Location: Jute Agriculture Experimental Station (JAES), Manikgonj and Kishoregonj Regional Station (KRS), Kishoregonj of BJRI.

Start Date: 01-04-2012

End Date: 31-01-2013

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To find out suitable disease management for quality jute seeds and fibre production.

Methodology:

Variety Used: Seeds of Jute cv. CVL-1 was selected for this study.
Moisture Content of Seeds: Seeds having moisture content 9.5% (Khandakar and Bradbeer, 1983 and Bangladesh Gazette, 2010) were selected for field study.

Disease management in the Field: Spraying of fungicide Dithane M-45 (0.2%)
i) Spraying of BAU- Biofungicide @ 2% in water
(Hossain, 2011b)
ii) Control (without spray)

Experimental Design: 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.

Data collection: Data on different parameters were collected as shown below
1. Incidence of diseases (%)
2. Fibre yield per plant (gm)
3. Fibre yield per hectare (ton)
4. Stick yield per plant (gm)
5. Stick yield per hectare (ton)
6. Average number of branches per plant
7. Average number of fruits per plant
8. Seed yield per plant (gm)
9. Seed yield per hectare (kg)

Achievement/Findings:

Therefore, the following conclusion may be drawn for quality seed and fibre production from the findings of this study: BAU-Biofungicide (2% in water) can successfully use as spraying agent to avoid Dithane M- 45 or other chemical fungicides for the production of quality healthy jute seeds with higher seed and fibre yield. Fibre and seed yield were found to decrease with the increase of seed-borne infection of fungal pathogens. So, the following recommendation may be drawn for quality seed and fibre production from the findings of this study: Foliar spray of BAU- Biofungicide enhance the quality and yield of the jute seed and fibre in the field.
