Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was carriedout in JAES,Manikganj, Kishorganj, Rangpur and Faridpur in 2009. The newly released variety BJRI tossa pat-4(O-72) gave higher yield at all the farmer's field of Manikganj,Rangpur, Kishoreganj stations except Faridpur.Pooled mean over stations showed that BJRI tossa pat-4(O-72) gave 17.24% higher yield compared to local variety.During the experimental period 2008-2009,200 farmers and 100 SAAO were trained by the project.After completion of the experiment local people were more concern about BJRI tossa pat-4(O-72)and more popularized in implemented areas.

Keywords: BJRI tossa pat-4(O-72), Yield gap,Popular,Farmer

Location: JAES, Manikganj, Kishorganj, Rangpur and Faridpur.

Start Date: 15-03-2009

End Date: 30-12-2009

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

1.To popularize new released variety BJRI tossa pat-4(O-72) throughout the country

2.To minimize yield gap between jute-farmers and breeder

3.To compare yield with BJRI others variety

Methodology:

The newly released variety BJRI tossa pat-4(O-72) was developed in 2002 but not yet popular throughout the country. It's produced highest yield in cultivated variety in Bangladesh.The developed variety is full green stem but ovate round shaped leaf .One plot of 33 decimals will be divided into two equal halves; between them 16.5 decimals will be used for BJRI tossa pat-4(O-72) and other for local variety.The seeds of both varieties will be sown on 15th March 2009.Equal quality of seed of both varieties would be sown and equal number of plants would be maintained for the varieties. Intercultural operation would be done in time simultaneously for whole plots as per recommendation.The plots must be located preferably at roadside. The sown plots will be harvested after 120 days of sowing.Similar set of experiment will be conducted at farmer's fielf of regional stations .The plots were visited by other farmers and officials of DAE and BARC.Farmers and SAAO were trained by the project in all locations.Plant population,plant height,base diameter, fibre yield were to be recorded.
