Summary

Line sowing of jute has been advocated by some workers for the past 40 years as being more productive than the traditional broadcast method. But most cultivators still prefer broadcast sowing. A comparative study employing identical management practices showed that there is no significant difference in fibre yield per unit area between the two sowing methods. Under similar population pressures self-thinning is greater in line sown than in broadcast crops. Thus, provided similar seed rates and cultural conditions are maintained, farmers may use either sowing method.

Resumen

Resumen

La siembra en lineas del yute ha sido recomendada por algunos trabajadores durante los pasados 40 años por rendir más que el método tradicional de siembra al voleo. Pero la mayoria de los cultivadores prefieren todavia la siembra al voleo. Un estudio comparativo empleando regimenes idénticos de explotación demostro que no existe diferencia significativa en el rendimiento de fibra por unidad de área entre los dos métodos de siembra. Con presiones de población similares, el autoaclarado resulta ser mayor en cultivos sembrados en linea que en los sembrados al voleo. Por to tanto, siempre que se mantengan condiciones similares de cultivo y de proporción de semillas, los agricultores pueden usar cualquiera de los dos méltodos de siembra.
