Optimizing boron application methods and dosages to enhance jute (Corchorus olitorius) seed yield and quality under sub-tropical climate.

ABSTRACT: Bangladesh, despite being a top raw jute producer, struggles with inadequate jute seed quantity and quality due to some unforeseen circumstances. Boron is a key micronutrient for enhancing crop seed yield and quality. However, research on its effects on jute (Corchorus olitorius) seed production in Bangladesh remains limited, highlighting a significant knowledge gap. Therefore, a two-year field study was conducted at the Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Regional Station in Faridpur to examine the effects of various boron application methods and doses on Corchorus olitorius seed production. The experiment included ten treatments combining three boron doses (2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 kg/ha) with three different application methods: (1) full dose as basal application, (2) full dose a
