Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The program was executed in the coastal saline area at different villages under Kalapara upazilla of Patuakhali districts to know the agro-economic performance of Capsularis varieties of jute (cv. CVL-1, BJC-83, BJC-2142 and CVE-3). The performances of Capsularis varieties observed satisfactory even under unfavorable weather condition. Gross margin obtained per hectare by CVL-1 was found highest (Tk. 37271.00) with best BCR (2.24) among the cultivars. It was revealed from the study that the cultivation of Capsularis jute in the coastal saline area is profitable as a whole.

Keywords: Varietal testing, Capsularis jute, Coastal saline area, Patuakhali district.

Location: Kalapara upazilla of Patuakhali.

Start Date: 01-03-2008

End Date: 30-08-2008

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

(i) To motivate and demonstrate farmers to cultivate released Capsularis variety in farmers environment

(ii) To evaluate the performance of Capsularis jute fibre on agronomic aspect of adaptability, yield and quality.

Methodology:

Design: RCBD, Replication: 5-10 (Dispersed), Plot size: 5-10 decimal. Variety: Improved varieties of Capsularis. Seed rate (kg/ha): 8. Sowing time: March-April. Fertilizer rate:(Urea-TSP-MP-Gypsum-Zinc Sulphate kg/ha): 100-10-60-20. Cultivation practices: Recommended packages for all varieties.

Achievement/Findings:

As observation, per hectare yield of CVL-1 maintained better (2491 kg/ha) than other varieties. Among the CVL-1, BJC-83, BJC-2142 and CVE-3 varieties per hectare cost of cultivation on total TVC ranged from Tk. 27988 to Tk. 29986 at the study areas. The performances of Capsularis varieties observed satisfactory even under unfavorable weather condition. Gross margin obtained per hectare by CVL-1 was found highest (Tk. 37271.00) with best BCR (2.24) among the cultivars.
