Effect of Disease Managements on Disease Incidence, Seed Yield, Stick Yield and Fibre Yield Following Line Sowing Method in O-9897 Variety

Abstract

The experiment was conducted in the field of Jute Agriculture Experimental Station (JAES), Manikgonj and Kishoregonj Regional Station (KRS), Kishoregonj of BJRI during the period April 2012 to January 2013. Two different disease management practices viz. Dithane M-45 and BAUBiofungicide and Seeds having moisture content 9.5% were used for the present study. Disease management showed lowest disease incidence 3.13% and 2.11% at JAES and KRS, respectively with BAU- Biofungicide spraying and highest disease incidence 4.26% and 4.47% at JAES and KRS, respectively were recorded under control condition. The, highest seed yield (339.24 kg ha^-1), fibre yield (4.03 t ha^-1) and stick yield (8.76 t ha^-1) were recorded under BAU- Biofungicide sprayed plants and lowest seed yield (297.47 kg ha^-1), fibre yield (1.95 t ha^-1) and stick yield (4.85 t ha^-1) were recorded under control treatment.
