| dc.description | Jute (Corchorus capsularis and Corchorus olitorius) is one of the main cash
crop of Bangladesh and plays an important role in the economy of our
country and socio-economic life of jute farmers. Bangladesh used to enjoy
almost a monopoly of this fibre commercially; its share in the export market
was 80% in 1947-48 but in 1975-76 it fell to only 25%. This fall in the
world market was due to the fact which many countries had started growing
jute and allied fibres. In 2010-2011, 83.95840 lakh bales of jute were
produced from 7.08723 lakh hectares of land and yield per hectare is 11.846
bales in Bangladesh (BBS, 2011). In Dinajpur district, 2.96025 lakh bales of
jute were produced from 0.29381 lakh hectares of land (BBS, 2011). The
land and climatic condition of Bangladesh is very much suitable for the
production of quality jute. Only two are cultivated for fibre among 40
known species of jute. The two species are Corchorus capsularis and
Corchorus olitorius (Fakir et al., 1990).

| dc.description.abstract | Seeds of 11 Jute varieties were collected from Bangladesh Jute Research Institute,
Nashipur Centre, Dinajpur and Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation
(BADC), Dinajpur for health status, germination percentage and seed borne
pathogen and to investigate the possibility of using plant extracts as seed treatment.
The seed sample was tested following dry inspection and blotter incubation
method. Maximum apparently healthy seeds (99.00%) with the higher germination
96.00% were recorded from Cop-CVE-3 variety. Different seed-borne fungi such
as, Colletotrichum corchori, Botryodiplodia theobromae, Macrophomina
phaseolina, Fusarium spp., Rhizopus stolinifer and Curvularia lunata were found
associated with the jute seeds. Prevalence of different fungi varied in different
varieties of jute seeds. Percent germination and percent seed borne infection of
fungal pathogens were different with treatment of different plant extracts and
chemical (Provex 200WP). Provex 200WP @ 0.25% of seed was found effective in
controlling fungal infection and increasing germination percentage up to 96.00% in
the varieties Cop-CVE-3, BJC-7370, Tossa O-795 and Tossa O-72. Garlic extract
was found effective resulting 96.00% germination in Cop-CVE-3 followed by
BJC-7370, Tossa O-795, Tossa Bina Patshak and Tossa O-9875 (89.33%).
Allamanda extract @ 2:1 conc. reduced the highest fungal infection compared to
its Tossa O-795 variety and Tossa O-9875 variety whereas Tossa Bina Patshak
variety had the lowest percentage of fungal infection over its Cop-CVE-3 variety
and Tossa O-9875 variety with untreated. Using Cop-CVE-3 variety and garlic
extract can be recommended to increase health status and germination ability of
jute seeds to avoid seed borne pathogen for safe environment. | en_US |
