Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was conducted at Jute Agriculture Experimental Station Manikganj in 2004. It was followed by Split plot design (SPD) with three replications. There were four breeding lines like Ana-3812, Ana-3821, Ana-3820, Ana-4582 against recommended cultivar O-9897 (Control), and four planting times like 1 March, 15 March, 30 March, 15 April used as treatment. Results revealed that planting time affected in the yield of breeding lines significantly. The crops planted on 30 March produced the highest fibre yield (2.74 t/ha) which was followed by 15 April (2.40 t/ha), 15 March (1.84 t/ha) and 1 March (1.44 t/ha). Results also showed that tossa jute breeding lines were not differed significantly. However, the breeding lines Ana-3812 and Ana-3820 produced numerically highest fiber yield (2.12 t/ha) over the control variety O-9897.

Keywords: Jute, sowing date, Tossa

Location: Jute Agriculture Experimental Station, Manikganj

Start Date: 01-03-2004

End Date: 31-12-2004

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To ascertain optimum date of sowing for higher fibre yield of four breeding lines of tossa jute were tested in relation to planting time.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at Jute Agriculture Experimental Station Manikganj in 2004. It was followed by Split plot design (SPD) with three replications. There were four breeding like Ana-3812, Ana-3821, Ana-3820, Ana-4582 against recommended cultivar O-9897 (Control), and four planting times like 1 March, 15 March, 30 March, 15 April used as treatment. Planting times were placed in main plot and breeding lines were in sub plot. Unit plot size was 3m x 3m. Space between plot to plot was 50cm and between replications and around the field 1m. Sowing was ensured on assigned date of sowing. Seeds were sown in line of 30 cm apart. Other standard cultural and intercultural practices were followed. Plants were harvested at 120 days after sowing. All crops were attended normal cultural practices.

Achievement/Findings:

The crops planted on 30 March produced the highest fibre yield (2.74 t/ha) which was followed by 15 April (2040 t/ha), 15 March (1.84 t/ha) and 1 March (1.44 t/ha). Results also showed that tossa jute breeding lines were not differed significantly. However, the breeding lines Ana-3812 and Ana-3820 produced numerically fiber yield (2.12 t/ha) over the control variety O-9897.
