Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Seed of high quality is the prerequisite for satisfactory crop production. In Bangladesh there is a big zone in the coastal area, where jute seed could be grown to meet the seasonal tossa jute seed demand. Normal agricultural lands are not so available for jute seed cultivation. The big coastal area could be used for tossa jute seed production purpose. Therefore an experiment was conducted at Sub-station, Pakhimara, Potuakhali during 2009-10 to assess the yield and quality of different tossa jute varieties in saline environment (costal area). It was laid out in RCBD with four replications. The cultivar O-9897, OM-1 and O-72 were used as study material. The crop was sown last week of September and harvested at third week of January. Results revealed that number of seed/pod and seed yield significantly affected due to varieties. The highest seed yield (867.60 kg/ha), number of pod/plant (33.55), number of seed/pod (240.45) and weight of seed/plant (5.83g) produced from the variety O-72. The highest 1000 seed weight was 2.46g and and germination percentage was 95 of the variety O-72.

Keywords: Jute, late jute seed, coastal zone

Location: Jute Research Sub-station Pakhimara, Potuakhali.

Start Date: 01-07-2009

End Date: 31-01-2010

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

The experiment was conducted to assess the yield and quality of different tossa jute varieties in saline environment (costal area).

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Sub-station, Pakhimara, Potuakhali during 2009-10. It was laid out in RCBD design with three replications. The cultivar O-9897, OM-1 and O-72 were used as study material. The crop was sown last week of September and harvested at third week of January. Unit plot size was 4.0m x 2.5m. Space between plot to plot, around the field 1.0m and between two replications 1.5m were maintained. Cultural and intercultural operations were attended as per BJRI recommendation.
