Manures and Fertilizers
1. thinning
2. mulching and weeding
3. Control of pest and diseases
Cattle or other animal manure before sowing =10 -12 ton/ ha
Urea is applied = 100-120kg/ha
Phosphorus applied = 50-60kg/ha
Potash applied = 50-60kg/ha

13. Insect Pests
Jute semllooper (Anomis sabulifera)
Control:-
 Spraying 0.5% DDT WP
 Spray 0.15% Isobenzene
Jute stem-veevil (Apion corchori)
Control:-
Endosulfan 35 EC @ 428 ml
in 500 I of water/ha.
Yellow mite (Hemitarsonemus latus)
Control:-
Endosulfan 35 EC @ 650 Inl in 500 I of
water
Red mite (Oligonychus coffeae)
Control:- Spray acaricides namely

14. Hairy caterpillar (Diacrisia obliqua)
Control:-
Spraying with Endrex 20 EC @ 2 ml/litre of
water
Field cricket (Brachytry'pes achatinus)
Control:-
The pest is controlled by dusting with Aldrin
5% @ 20 kg hectare at the time of seedbed
preparation
Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne sp)
Mealy baug (Ferrisia vigata)Control:-
Nemagon 60 W /W should be applied
with irrigation water as pre-plant
application @ 38 l/ha

Stem gall
caused by:- Physoderma corchori
1) avoiding submerged conditions by arranging proper drainage system and
2) by growing resistant varieties e,g. Capsularies types.
Soft rot
Caused by:- Corticum rolfsii
Control:-spraying the plants with Bordeaux mixture

17. 17
Stem rot Disease
caused by a fungus, Collecotrichum cochorum
Control:- Captan at the rate 5 g/kg seed and spraying
Leaf Sport Disease
It is a bacterial disease caused by Xanthomonas sp
Control:- by crop rotation
resistant jute varieties
