Abstract/Description: | Field experiment was conducted to get some idea on the effect of partial shade on the fibre yield in two commercial types of sisal (Agave sisalana and hybrid sisal No. 11648) at Sisal Research Station of CRIJAF (23.05° N, 84.23° E, and 256.03 m MSL), Bamra, Sambalpur, Odisha. It was observed that A. sisalana produced more fibre in full ambient light (FAL) condition (13.0-53.7 g leaf-1) than partial shade condition (8.8-46.3 g leaf-1). Similar observations were also recorded in case of hybrid sisal also, where FAL produced more fibre (23.7-53.0 g leaf-1) than partial shade (50% FAL) condition (7.3-44.0 g leaf-1). Among the two types of sisal considered in this study, on an average, hybrid sisal yielded more (36 g leaf-1) than Agave sisalana (32.8 g leaf-1) in light condition; whereas, the reverse was observed in partial shade condition. In such situation, Agave sisalana produced more fibre (24.7 g leaf-1) than hybrid sisal (23.3 g leaf-1). In both the types of sisal, the partial shade condition reduced the fibre yield. The yield reduction due to partial shade was more pronounced in case of hybrid sisal (35.5%) than Agave sisalana (24.7%). Therefore, to incorporate sisal in any intercropping or agri-silvicultural system, out of the two important sisal types, Agave sisalana need to be given preference over the hybrid one. |
