Abstract
An experiment was conducted during 2006 to 2008 at two Research Stations of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute (BJRI) to optimize the time of sowing seeds for higher fibre yield. The treatment consisted of two locations, namely, JAES, Manikganj; RS, Faridpur; and three different sowing dates viz., 1 March; 7 March and 14 March. The newly released variety O-795 was used as study material and recommended cultivar O-72 as control. Results revealed that fibre yield differed significantly due to date of sowing. The highest fibre and stick yields were recorded at 14 March sowing. Significantly higher base diameter and fibre yield were produced by O-795 than the variety O-72. The highest fibre yield was observed at Manikganj. The interaction effect of location x date of sowing showed significantly highest plant height, fibre yield and stick yield with 14 March sowing at Manikganj.
