Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at Manikganj and Faridpur in 2008 to determine the optimum sowing date of BJRI Tossa Pat-5. It was laid-out in RCBD with three replications. Recommended cultivar BJRI Tossa Pat-4 (O-72) was used as control, and three date of sowing viz., 1 March, 7 March and 14 March regarded as treatments. Results revealed that the sowing date of 14 March gave the highest fibre and stick yields of 3.53 t/ha and 7.48 t/ha, respectively. The plant height (3.31m) and base diameter (18.47 mm) were also found the highest at the same date. Crop sown on 1 March recorded the lowest fibre yield (2.86 t/ha) and stick yield (6.14 t/ha) and all other yield attributes studied. BJRI Tossa Pat-5 yielded numerically higher fibre of 3.28 t/ha than BJRI Tossa Pat-4. The highest fibre and stick yield were recorded at Manikganj crop sown on 14 March. The lowest yields were found at Faridpur sown on 1 March.

Start Date: 01-03-2008

End Date: 31-12-2008

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To ascertain optimum date of sowing for higher fibre yields of of newly released variety BJRI Tossa Pat-5.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Manikganj and Faridpur in 2008. The experiment was laid-out in RCBD with three replications. of newly released variety BJRI Tossa Pat-5 was used as study material and recommended cultivar BJRI Tossa Pat-4 (O-72) was control. Crops were sown on three different dates viz., 1 March, 7 March and 14 March regarded as treatments. Crops were harvested at 120 days after each sowing. 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.

Achievement/Findings:

The sowing date of 14 March gave the highest fibre and stick yields of 3.53 t/ha and 7.48 t/ha, respectively. The plant height (3.31m) and base diameter (18.47 mm) were also found the highest at the same date. Crop sown on 1 March recorded the lowest fibre yield (2.86 t/ha) and stick yield (6.14 t/ha) and all other yield attributes studied. BJRI Tossa Pat-5 yielded numerically higher fibre of 3.28 t/ha than BJRI Tossa Pat-4. The highest fibre and stick yield were recorded at Manikganj crop sown on 14 March. The lowest yields were found at Faridpur sown on 1 March.
