The experiment was conducted in the year 1983 and 1984 at the Jute Agriculture Experimental Station, Manikganj of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute. Although, the yield increase was not significant, the higher fertilizer dose of 90-11, 2-36 kg NPK per hectare gave numerically higher yield compared to the recommended dose of 54-5.6-18 kg NPK (3321 and 2797 kg fibre per hectare respectively). The closer spacing of 22.5 cm X 5 cm gave slightly higher yield compared to the recommended spacing of 30 cm X 5 cm. The stage of harvest had significant effect on all the agronomic characters studied. The average flowering stage produced maximum fibre yield of 3242 kg per hectare which was significantly higher to those of early (top splitting) and late (early pod) stages. Though, all the first and second degree interaction effects were not significant on all the agronomic characters, the higher doses of fertilizer, closer spacings and the later stages of harvest in any combination showed the tendency of higher productivity.
