Abstract
Plant density is very important growth and yield contributing character of different crops. An experiment was conducted at Jute Agriculture Experimental Station, Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Jagir, Manikganj to select suitable seed rate for leaf and seed yield of jute as vegetable. Six different seed rate i.e., T1=4.17, T2=8.33, T3=12.5, T4=16.67, T5=20.83 and T6=25.00 kg/ha were used as experimental treatment. Results revealed that the highest leaf number (14.13), leaf fresh weight (10.9g) and leaf dry weight (2.03g) was recorded in T3 treatment whereas the highest capsule number (375), number of seed per capsule (32) and seed yield per plant (15.16g) was found in T2 treatment. Days to seed maturity was minimum (85 days) in T2 treatment. It might be concluded that considering as a vegetable crop 12.5 kg/ha rate is the best seed rate for vegetative yield.
