EFFECT OF PLANT DENSITY ON SEED YIELD OF JUTE VARIETIES

Abstract

Experiments were conducted at Agricultural College and Research Institute Madurai, Tamil Nadu to evolve suitable agronomic practices for jute seed production. Suitable variety and optimal spacing were identified. Jute variety JRO 878 gave a high seed yield of 907 kg.ha' at a spacing of 30 x 15 cm. Net returns from jute seed production were higher than the conventional rice crop grown during the season.

Keywords: Jute, Jute Varieties, Spacing, Seed Yield.
