Influence of Sowing Time and Variety on Growth and Yield of Jute (Corchorus capsularis L) at Southern Region of Bangladesh
Abstract:
Effect of sowing time variation with different cultivars on growth and yield of jute (Corchorus capsularis L). The experiment was conducted at Regional Station of BJRI, Kalapara, Patuakhali from March 2013 to August 2013. To find out the prime time of sowing with promising variety and their interaction on the fiber yield of white jute. The research was two factors, which consisted of three Corchorus capsularis L. jute varieties and four sowing dates. The varieties were CVL-1, BJC-7370 and BJC-2142 and four sowing dates were viz. 15 March, 30 march, 15 April and 30 April. The study was followed in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The effects showed that the growth and fiber yield parameters were varied significantly among varieties, due to on different sowing dates and in their interactions. There was no significant variation among varieties in terms of plant height. Highest plant height (3.02 m) was found on 30 March sowing, which was statistically identical to 15 March (3.01 m) and 15 April (2.95 m). Fiber yield per hectare was highest (2.52 t ha-1) in variety CVL-1, which was statistically similar to BJC-7370 (2.39 t ha-1). Earlier sowing (15 March) produced highest (2.80 t ha-1) fiber yield than late sowing (30 April) (1.74 t ha-1) and cultivar CVL-1 with 15 March sowing produced highest fiber yield (2.99 t ha-1) in Patuakhali, Bangladesh.
