Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at Manikganj, Kishoregonj, Faridpur, Rangpur and Comilla in 2008 to ascertain optimum date of sowing for higher fibre yield of deshi jute breeding line BJC-2197. It was laid-out in RCBD with three replications. Deshi jute breeding line BJC-2197 was used as study material and recommended cultivar CVL-1 was control. Crops were sown on 3 different dates viz., 15 March, 30 March and 15 April regarded as treatments. Crops were harvested at 120 days after each sowing. Results revealed that the sowing date of 30 March gave the highest fibre and stick yields of 3.69 t/ha and 7.64 t/ha, respectively. Crop own on 15 April recorded the lowest fibre yield of 2.93 t/ha and stick yield of 6.25 t/ha and same at all other yield attributes of the studied. Yield and yield attributes were not differed significantly due to variety irrespective of sowing date and location. CVL-1 yielded numerically higher fibre (3.37 t/ha) than the Breeding line BJC-2197. The highest yields were recorded at Manikganj sown on 30 March. The lowest yields were found at Comilla sown on 15 April.

Location: Jute Agriculture Experimental Station Manikganj; Jute Research Regional Station Kishoreganj, Faridpur, Rangpur and Chandina, Comilla

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 yield of deshi jute breeding line BJC-2197.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Manikganj, Kishoregonj, Faridpur, Rangpur and Comilla in 2008. It was laid-out in RCBD with three replications. The deshi jute breeding line BJC-2197 was used as study material and recommended cultivar CVL-1 was control. Crops were sown on three different dates viz., 15 March, 30 March and 15 April 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.

1. Government

Budget: 15000

Total Budget (Tk.) : 15000

Achievement/Findings:

The sowing date of 30 March gave the highest fibre and stick yields of 3.69 t/ha and 7.64 t/ha, respectively. The plant height of 3.16m and base diameter of 20.74 mm were also found the highest at the same date. Crop own on 15 April recorded the lowest fibre yield of 2.93 t/ha and stick yield of 6.25 t/ha and same at all other yield attributes of the studied. Yield and yield attributes were not differed significantly due to variety irrespective of sowing date and location. CVL-1 yielded numerically higher fibre (3.37 t/ha) than the Breeding line BJC-2197. The highest fibre and stick yields were recorded at Manikganj crop sown on 30 March. The lowest yields were found at Comilla sown on 15 April.
