TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the significant research achievements in jute and allied fibre crops and also analyse the constraints faced by the jute sector to make it viable globally, and present a review of the challenges faced by jute production.

TL;DR: Balanced fertilization not only enhances crop growth and yield but also improves its quality and soil health as discussed by the authors, which is the best approach of fertilization for jute production in New Gangetic alluvial soils of India The experiment comprising seven fertilizer treatments was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications during three consecutive crop seasons of 2010, 2011 and 2012.

TL;DR: In this paper, a field experiment was conducted on alluvial soils (Typic Eutrochrept) of eastern India by adopting inductive cum targeted yield model to assess the fertility status, fertilizer requirements, and formulation with and without integrated plant nutrient supply fertilizer (IPNS) prescription equation for jute fiber, rice grain, and garden pea on soil-test and yield target bases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the accuracy of the estimation of soil organic C (SOC) storage uncertainty can be improved by incorporating covariance among the input variables, which leads to a substantial overestimation of the uncertainty.

TL;DR: The pedotransfer functions (PTFs) were developed for saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks), water retention at FC and PWP of soils for different sites under major cropping system in a canal irrigated area and revealed that the soils are mainly composed of sand and clay.
