Abstract
Line sowing method had less cost of seed production and more BCR than top cutting method. In case of line sowing, for seed production maximum BCR 1.30 was observed with BAU- Biofungicide treated seeds and lowest BCR 1.16 under control treatment. For fibre production, highest BCR 2.71 was observed with BAU- Biofungicide treated seeds and lowest BCR 1.29 was under control treatment. In case of top cutting, highest BCR 1.13 was recorded under BAU- Biofungicide treated cuttings and lowest 1.02 was under control treatment. So, line sowing method was found most suitable compared to top cutting method for production of quality healthy jute seeds with maximum BCR.
Highlights
Jute is one of the major cash crops of Bangladesh
The Benefit Cost Ratio was determined by using the finding of the study that conducted at Jute Agriculture Experimental Station (JAES), Manikgonj, and Kishoregonj Regional Station (KRS), BJRI
The highest seed yield (585.65 kg/ha) was recorded in JAES followed by KRS (569.02 kg/ha) with top cutting method (Table 6)
Summary
Jute is one of the major cash crops of Bangladesh. Its influence on ecology and economy is so intimate that the effects are significantly related to the agro-ecology and the socio-economic life of the people. The farmers usually keep a small portion of crop at one corner or any suitable place of the field to produce seed and rest of the crop is harvested for fibre This traditional system of seed production is characterized by low yield and poor quality seed. To overcome the situation to some extend since last 5-6 years BJRI has been supplying 100 gm of quality seed to individual farmer, free of cost through Agricultural Extension Directorate to produce jute seed in late sowing method and to promote the exchange of seed among the farmers. For this approach BJRI annually is distributing 300-400 kg of quality jute seed to the farmers
