Jute Seed Quality

1071 Words5 Pages
The study on jute seed quality and management is common phenomenon in agricultural production for learning how to get optimum output by using minimum inputs to minimize the cost and maximize the production and profit. In Bangladesh, jute seed quality and management of farmers for a specific agricultural production are not sufficient. The studies on seed quality and management of jute production are very few. Jute growers are habituated to follow the technology or practice which has been developed through experiences and tradition and they are reluctant to change their practices (Azad, 1984). Quality seeds of an improved variety itself provide 20 percent of additional crop (Hossain et al., 1994). Islam (2010) reported that heavy infestation…show more content…
Annual demand of jute seeds in Bangladesh is 3,570 metric tons. Only 456 metric tons are supplied by public sector and 1,350 metric tons by private sector. The gap between local production and demand for seed amount rises to nearly 87 percent (BSGDMA, 2007). Proper disease control measures can substantially improve the quality of production and significantly increase the yield. Late jute seed production technology is that where jute seed is sown directly into the field for the production of seed during mid August to mid September and harvested within January of the following year. Seed yield per unit area is the dry matter accumulation in the seeds during their filling period. The potential of jute seed crop can be improved through effective manipulations of those yield components, which have positive contribution towards seed yield (Talukdar and Rahman, 1989). On the other hand, full expression of genetic potentiality of a crop could not be attained unless appropriate management practices are ensured. Fertilizer is one of the most important inputs of management. Seed yield and yield-contributing characters are directly related to the plant growth. The plant growth is directly related to plant nutrition i.e. fertilization. In jute production system, water management includes application of irrigation and draining out the excess water is needed from the jute fields. Irrigation is the artificial application of water to the crop field for its proper growth (Rahman et al., 1992). Jute growers are habituated to follow the technology or practice which is developed through experiences and tradition and they are reluctant to change their practices (Azad, 1984). Farmers will pay due attention to the research findings about which they have some experiences and seem to be more
