| Abstract/Description: | Field experiment was conducted on the effect of partial shade on the fibre yield of two commercial types of sisal (Agave sisalana and Hybrid Sisal No. 11648) at Sisal Research Station of CRIJAF, Odisha. A. sisalana produced more fibre in full ambient light (FAL) (13.0-53.7 g leaf-1) than partial shade (50% FAL) condition (8.8-46.3 g leaf-1). Similar observations were recorded in case of hybrid sisal, where full light produced more fibre (23.7-53.0 g leaf-1) than partial shade (7.3-44.0 g leaf-1) condition. Among two types of sisal, hybrid sisal yielded higher (36 g leaf-1) than A. sisalana (32.8 g leaf-1) in light condition. The reverse was observed in partial shade condition, where A. sisalana produced more fibre (24.7 g leaf-1) than hybrid sisal (23.3 g leaf-1). In both the types, the partial shade condition reduced the fibre yield. The yield reduction due to shade was more pronounced in case of hybrid sisal (35.5%) than A. sisalana (24.7%). Therefore, to incorporate sisal in any intercropping or agri-silviculture system, Agave sisalana may be selected over the hybrid one. |
