Abstract
An experiment was conducted at Faridpur, Bangladesh with five treatments to test the feasibility of a Jute-rice intercropping system with a view to natural fiber production along with maintaining food security. Two plant materials namely Jute (Corchorus capsularis), variety CVL-1and Rice (Oryza sativa), BRRI dhan43 was used in this experiment. Five treatments namely sole jute, jute intercropped with rice at 30cm spacing, jute intercropped with rice at 40cm spacing, jute intercropped with rice at 50cm spacing, and sole rice was applied in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replication. Results revealed that the jute-rice intercropping system gave beneficial income, land equivalent ratio, area time equivalent ratio than sole rice cropping. Jute intercropped with rice at 30cm spacing treatment gave a better scope of getting fiber and food grain from the same land at a time without sacrificing fiber yield.
