ABSTRACT
The experiments were conducted in the field of Jute Agriculture Experimental Station (JAES), Manikgonj and Kishoregonj Regional Station (KRS), Kishoregonj of BJRI. The experiments were conducted during the period April 2012 to January 2013. Top cutting method in respect of different parameters of seed quality differed significantly under different treatments in the present study. Here before planted cuttings were treated with Dithane M-45 and BAU- Biofungicide. In top cutting method lowest mortality 4.05% of cuttings were with BAU- Biofungicide treated cuttings, while highest mortality 11.59% of cuttings were found under control condition. The highest seed yields 618.76 kg/ha was obtained BAU- Biofungicide treated cuttings and lowest seed yields 534.15 kg/ha was recorded under control treatment.
