A Nutrient Combination That Can Affect Yield of Olitorius Jute. Plant. Vol. 7, No. 3, 2019, pp. 42-46. doi: 10.11648/j.plant.20190703.13 Received: July 26, 2019; Accepted: August 19, 2019; Published: August 29, 2019 Abstract: Mineral fertilizer use is expanding in Jute growing countries to satisfy fiber demands. Fertilizer consumers are being asked to improve fertilizer use efficiency through better management in their fields to provide a healthy economy. Following the thought a field experiment was established to determine the influence of mineral fertilizer (NPKS) on growth and yield of the advanced C. olitorious breeding line of O-043-7-9. We selected three different locations under Bangladesh Jute Research Institute to examine jute crop response to optimum fertilizer combination and the yield variability by 10 different nutrient combinations. Because of the essentiality of N, P, K, and S fertilizer combination on Jute fibre production and their effects on its growth were studied. The lower levels of N, P, K and S were zero applications in specific treatments. N, P, K and S were positively correlated with yield level. Over time, the simple effect of N exhibited an increased positive trend only when applied limited to 100kg/ha, while simple effects of P and K increased sharply at the rate 10 and 30 kg/ha respectively. The zero fertilizer treatment yielded decline for each mineral in specific treatment in the trial. Fertilizer N, P, K and S were utilized more efficiently in fully balanced combination. After the findings from three different locations for growth, yield and agronomic characteristics, we can draw the conclusion that the combination dose of N 100 P 10 K 30 S 15 Kg/ha may need to be applied for breeding line O-043-7-9 cultivation in Bangladesh.

Raw jute signifies fibre produced from, Corchorus capsularis, Corchorus olitorius, Hibiscus sabdariffa and Hibiscus cannabinus. Renowned jute growing areas in Bangladesh are Faridpur, Jessore, Manikganj, Kishoregan, Mymensingh and Rangpur regions. Corchorus olitorius is one of the most popular fibre crops in every districts of Bangladesh. Corchorus olitorius is mainly known for its fibre product, jute and for its leafy vegetables [1]. Several species of Corchorus are used as vegetable, of which Corchorus olitorius is most frequently cultivated. C. olitorius is consumed as a healthy vegetable in Japan, because it contains abundant carotenoids, vitamin B1, B2, C and E, and minerals. On the other hand, accidental death of cattle has occurred when the cattle were feed with vegetation containing the seeds, because the seeds contain cardiac glycoside [2]. The dark-green leaves of C. olitirius have varying proportion of Ca, Fe, -carotene, vitamin C, fibreand protein required for health [1, 3]. Nutrition is an important aspectof Jute production system and this includes adequate supply of essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur etc to the plant. The availability of these nutrients to plant contributes a lot to its growth and yield. Therefore adequate amount of nutrients need to be supplied to plant at the right quantity and also at the right time to favour both growth and yield. NPKS have influence on the growth and yield of fibre crops [4-40]. Fertilizer studies showed positive responses of Corchorus
