Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was carried out at three different locations such as Manikganj, Faridpur and Monirampur, Jessore under Bangladesh Jute Research Institute during 2004-2006 to find out the effect of three nitrogen levels on seed yield and yield contributing characters of jute varieties, CVL-1, CVE-3 and D-154. Significant influences of split application of N-fertilizer on plant height, branch/capsule, capsule/plant, thousand seed weight and seed yield were observed. Interaction effect between variety and split application on plant height, branch/capsule, capsule/plant, thousand seed weight and seed yield were found significant. Most of the characteristics mentioned above were found significant for varieties.

Start Date: 00-00-2004

End Date: 00-00-2006

Program Area: Seed Technology

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To evaluate the effect of split application of nitrogen ferlizer on seed yield and yield contributing characters of Jute

Methodology:

The experiment was laid out in RCBD with three replications with two factors viz. Jute and split application of nitrogen fertilizer using three jute varieties viz. V1 (CVL-1), V2 (CVE-3 ) and V3 ( D-154 ) developed by BJRI and three nitrogen level viz. T₁( full dose of urea at two equal splits, ½ at FLP + ½ at 45 DAS ), T₂ ( full dose of urea at three equal splits, 1/3 at FLP + 1/3 at 45 DAS+1/3 at 90 DAS ) and T₃ ( full dose of urea at four equal splits, 1/4 at FLP + 1/4 at 40 DAS+1/4 at 80 DAS + 1/4 at 120 DAS ). Urea, TSP, MP, Gypsum and Zinc sulphate were applied @ 75-5-15-9-4-N-P-K-S-Zn kg/ha. All the fertilizer were applied as basal except urea but urea were applied as splits at final land preparation and different days after sowing according to treatments. The date of sowing was 3rd week of april and when 80% capsules became brownish in colour, the crop was harvested. The capsules and seeds were dried in the air and cooled in desiccators.

Achievement/Findings:

Application of urea fertilizer in two equal splits at final land preparation and 45 days after sowing was more effective than other splits applied.
