Question

Write a paragraph (100 words) on how jute is cultivated

Answer 1

Next to cotton, jute is the second important fibre crop of India. Jute is in great demand because of the jute is generally sown in February on lowlands and in March-May on uplands. The crop takes 8- 10 months to mature but different varieties take different time to mature. The harvesting period generally starts in July and continues till October.The plants are cut to the ground and tied into bundles. Sheafs of jute stocks are then immersed in flood water or ponds or stagnant water for about 2 to 3 weeks for retting. High temperature of water quickens the process of retting. After retting is complete, the bark is peeled from the plant and fibre is removed.After this, stripping, rinsing, washing and cleaning is done and the fibre is dried in the sun and pressed into bales. All this process is to be done by human hand for which/availability of plenty of labour at cheap rates is very essential. Luckily, this labour is readily available because jute is cultivated in areas of high population density.

Answer 2

Answer:

Jute is an important crop of our country, It is grown in plenty in the coastal regions. Like paddy, it requires soft and marshy soil and abundant water. Bengal, Orissa, and some regions in the South are the important jute producing areas. Jute is one of the largest exports from our country.

Jute is grown in the rainy season. Early before the onset of rains, the fields are ploughed and the seeds of jute are sown. Within 4 to 5 days the seeds germi­nate and small plants appear all over the field.

The small plants grow quickly as the rain falls over them. Jute plants grow to a height of 10 to 12 feet and some times even more. Within a month the maximum height is attained then the plants are left to become stronger and develop good fibers. Like paddy, this crop too needs a great deal of care.
