Jute Agriculture and MechanizationKeywords: Jüt tar?m? ve sorunlar?,mekanizasyon,Türkiye Abstract: In this study, it was aimed to determine the problems in terms of agriculture and mechanization of Jute (Corchorus olitorius L.), which contains 26% fiber, 60% stalkand 14% leaf content. Especially product management of the plant, Taxonomy and botanical status as well as activities such as tillage, sowing, irrigation, fertilization, pest management, harvesting, fiber peeling (fiber stripping), product usage, biomass and economic importance was examined. Turkey produces jute in a limited area basicly for research and development purposes. Instead of jutes capacity to be an alternative in terms of fiber content and biomass and exsistance of two domestic lines at registration stage, there is no domestic production due to the problems caused by mechanization in particular. In many countries, jute agriculture has been mechanized according to the conditions of the countries, but this is not the case for Turkey and mainly due to this reason Turkey is the second jute importer country in the world after US. Jute is a an important economic material in Turkey. It can be said that the need for intensive labor force especially during sowing and harvesting periods and lack of suitable sowing and harvesting machinery in Turkey are important disadvantage for the development of jute cultivation in Turkey
