Competition was studied among four varieties of jute, one cultivated and one wild type of each of C. capsularis and C. olitorius. Varieties exposed to competition showed significant effects on different characters at species and variety level for all the characters. Variety competition, average competition except for base diameter, and specific competition except for node number and base diameter, were significant for all the characters. Wild forms were less effective than cultivated ones as competitors, and the action of one species on the other did not affect all growth parameters in the same way.
