Appropriate nitrogen fertilizer rate and row distance are important agronomic practices for optimum fibre development of jute. A field experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Department of Agronomy and Agricultural Extension, University of Rajshahi, from April 2017 to September 2017 to evaluate the effect of row distance and nitrogen fertilizer (urea) rate on fibre development of jute. The experiment was set up using a split-plot experimental design, placing three different row distances- S1 (20×5 cm), S2 (25×5 cm) and S3 (30×5 cm) in the main plot and three nitrogen fertilizer (urea) rates viz. N1 (112 kg ha-1 or 75% of standard BJRI urea recommendation), N2 (150 kg ha-1 or 100% of standard BJRI urea recommendation) and N3 (187 kg ha-1 or 125% of standard BJRI urea recommendation) in the subplot. Except for experimental treatments, standard agronomic practices were maintained for all plots. The results indicated that a wide row distance (30cm) can effectively develop fibre area (1.88 mm, 2.48 mm, 2.84 mm, and 3.82 mm at 40, 60, and 80 DAS and harvest days, respectively) but not maintain higher fibre yield, stick yield, and biological yield because of lower planting density. Narrow row spacing (20 cm) allows for more plants per plot while increasing total fibre yield (2.33 t ha-1), stick yield (5.35 t ha-1) and biological yield (7.68 t ha-1). Considering nitrogen fertilizer (urea) rates, maximum fibre yield (2.30 t ha-1), stick yield (5.32 t ha-1) and biological yield (7.62 t ha-1) were found with a maximum fertilizer rate (187 kg ha-1). From our observation, it can be suggested that 20 cm row spacing with 187 kg urea would be the best practice for jute production in the experimental area.
