Abstract
A field experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Crop Research Station, Bahraich to evaluate the effect of sowing time on the productivity of both olitorius and capsularis jute seed under a uniform fertilizer dose. Assessment of diseases was also done on the basis of the data recorded at fortnightly intervals after 15 days of germination till harvest (180 days after sowing). Among three dates of sowing, 12th June recorded highest value of yield attributing characters for both the species of jute and the growth parameters decreased significantly with further delay in sowing time. Capsularis varieties produced greater quantum of seeds than olitorius spp. Perusal of data indicated that in eastern tarai region under delayed sowing plant growth decreased due to reduction in day length and average temperature results on incidence of diseases showed maximum during 12th July sowing and was minimum during 12th of June. Climatic condition also favoured the disease incidence. Thus it may be concluded that in eastern tarai region sowing of jute for seed production should be completed within 12th June and latest by the 24th June for both capsularis and olitorius varieties.
