Effect of Nature of Harvest of Jute Plants on the Production of Cuttings and Improvement of Fibre Quality

Abstract

Harvesting jute plants leaving 1", 2", 3", 4", 5" and 6" from the basal portion in the soil and retted separately, produced significant effect on the production of jute cutting and fibre quality. Harvesting plants leaving 4"-6" from the soil eliminated cutting completely and produced A-grade fibre. But harvesting plants leaving 4"-6" of basal portion in the soil apprehend loss of fibre weight.
