Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at Manikganj and Rangpur in 2009 to find out the effect of plant population (PP) on fibre yield and yield attributes of tossa jute. It was laid out in RCBD with 3 replications. 5 PP like - 2.5 lac/ha, 3.0 lac/ha, 3.5 lac/ha, 4.0 lac/ha and 4.5 lac/ha., and Recommended variety O-9897 and O-72 were used as treatments. Results revealed that crops having the PP of 4.0 lac/ha gave the highest fibre (3.20 t/ha) and stick yield (6.92 t/ha) at Manikganj. Though, the crops having the PP 2.5 lac/ha to 3.5 lac/ha gave higher PH and higher BD, but the crops having higher PP of 4.0 to 4.5 lac/ha were compensated the fibre yield with lower PH and BD. Results also showed that PP of 4.5 lac/ha gave the highest fibre (3.13 t/ha) and stick yield (6.86 t/ha) at Rangpur than other PPs. Here, PP 2.5 lac/ha to 4.0 lac/ha gave higher PH and higher BD, but the crops having higher PP of 4.5 lac/ha were compensated the fibre yield with lower PH and BD. Better performance was showed in case of O-72 over O-9897 at both the locations.

Keywords: Jute, plant population, Fibre yield

Location: Jute Agriculture Experimental Station Manikganj and Jute Research Regional Station Rangpur

Start Date: 01-03-2008

End Date: 31-12-2008

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To obtain more refined data, the study was undertaken to determine the effect of plant population on fibre yield and yield contributing characters of tossa jute.

Methodology:

An experiment was conducted at Manikganj and Rangpur in 2009. It was laid out in RCBD with three replications having five plant population treatments like - 2.5 lac/ha, 3.0 An experiment was conducted at Manikganj and Rangpur in 2009. It was laid out in RCBD with three replications having five plant population treatments like- 2.5 lac/ha, 3.0 lac/ha, 3.5 lac/ha, 4.0 lac/ha and 4.5 lac/ha., and recommended variety O-9897 and O-72 were used as treatments. Unit plot size wwas 4.0m x 2.5m., Space between two plots 70 cm, between two replications and around the field 1.5m were maintained of the study. Cultural and intercultural practices were followed. The crops were sown on towards the last week of March and harvested at field duration of 120 days. The mean difference among the treatments were adjudged by the New Duncan`s Multiple Range Test.

Achievement/Findings:

Plant population of 4.5 lac/ha gave the highest fibre (3.13 t/ha) and stick yield (6.86 t/ha) at Rangpur than other PPs. Here, PP 2.5 lac/ha to 4.0 lac/ha gave higher PH and higher BD, but the crops having higher PP of 4.5 lac/ha were compensated the fibre yield with lower PH and BD. Better performance was showed in case of O-72 over O-9897 at both the locations.
