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

Explanation:

To grow jute, farmers scatter the seeds on cultivated soil. When the plants are about 15–20 cm tall, they are thinned out. About four months after planting, harvesting begins. The plants are usually harvested after they flower, before the flowers go to seed. The stalks are cut off close to the ground. The stalks are tied into bundles and soaked in water for about 20 days. This process softens the tissues and breaks the hard [pectin] bond between the bast and [Jute hurd] (inner woody fiber stick) and the process permits the fibres to be separated. The fibres are then stripped from the stalks in long strands and washed in clear, running water. Then they are hung up or spread on thatched roofs to dry. After 2–3 days of drying, the fibres are tied into bundles. The suitable climate for growing jute is a warm and wet climate, which is offered by the monsoon climate during the fall season, immediately followed by summer. Temperatures ranging to more than 25 °C and relative humidity of 70%–90% are favorable for successful cultivation. Jute requires 160–200 cm of rainfall weekly with extra needed during the sowing period. River basins or alluvial or loamy soils are best for jute cultivation. Jute cultivation in red soils may require high dose of manure and pH range between 4.8-5.8 is best for its cultivation. Plain land or gentle slope or low land is ideal for jute cultivation. Since the jute seeds are small in size, land should be prepared to fine tilling, which can be done by careful ploughing.
