write a paragraph on how jute is cultivated
Answers
Answer:
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.
