A b s t r a c t

Jute is the second important fibre crop for world and first for Bangladesh. Corchorus olitorius covers about 85 percent of the total jute cultivable area of Bangladesh among the different jute species. Bangladesh requires about 6000 tons of jute seed. O-9897, JRO-524 and BJRI tossa pat- 8 are prominent jute varieties in Bangladesh. Three different varieties (BJRI tossa pat-8, O-9897 and JO 524) were used.Results revealed that plant population/m2 (5.74), plant height (3.16 m), Capsule per plant (95.40), capsule length (6.29 cm), 1000 seed weight (1.86 g), Seed yield (0.67 t/ha) observed maximum in BJRI tossa pat-8.Number of branch/plant (10.27), seed per capsule (218.85), germination percentage (95.67), field emergence percentage (90.33), CVG percentage (72.25)and Seedvigour percentage (42.72) were maximum in O-9897.Result showed that, BJRI tossa pat-8 produced higher seed yield compare other two varieties but seed quality was better for O-9897.

Keywords: Jute seed, varieties, phenotypic characters, yield and seed quality.
