Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Five IPM packages were evaluated against legume pod borer infesting country bean at RARS, Jessore during 2010-11. Results indicated that IPM package 3 ( Hand picking + Spraying of Tracer 45SC @ 0.4 ml/l of water at 7 days interval) and IPM package 4 (Hand picking + Spraying of Voliam Flexi 300SC @ 0.5 ml/l of water) appeared to be promising both in terms of reduced pest attack and increased yield.

Keywords: IPM packages, pod borer, Maruca vitrata, country bean

Location: RARS, Jessore

Start Date: 06-06-2010

End Date: 10-11-2010

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Country bean

Objectives:

)To find out the alternative control measures and to develop an integrated pest management (IPM) package against legume pod borer of country bean 2) To reduce the application of insecticides for the controlling of legume pod borer in country bean production.

Methodology:

A trial was carried out during kharif 2010 at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Jessore. The study was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Country bean seeds (local) were sown on 06 June, 2010 in 18 plots each measuring 3.0 m x 1.5 m. A distance of 1.5 m was maintained between plots and 2.0 m between replications. The IPM packages/treatments were as follows: IPM package 1: Collection and destruction of infested flowers and pods at 7 days intervals starting from the first incidence + cutting of older leaves and twisted young twigs + spraying Mahogni oil @ 2 ml per litre of water at 7 days interval commencing from first incidence to the end of the study. IPM Package 2: Collection and destruction of infested flowers and pods at 7 days intervals starting from the first incidence + spraying of Proclaim 5SG @ 1.0 g per litre of water at 7 days interval commencing from the first incidence to the end of the study. IPM package 3: Hand picking and cutting as done earlier and spraying of Tracer 45SC @ 0.4 ml per litre of water at 7 days interval commencing from the first incidence to the end of the study. IPM Package 4: Hand picking and cutting as above described in IPM package 1, spraying of Voliam Flexi 300SC @ 0.5 ml per litre of water at 7 days interval commencing from the first incidence to the end of the trial. IPM Package 5: This was composed of hand picking and cutting as done before and spraying of Belt 24WG @ 0.4 g per litre of water at 7 days interval commencing from the first incidence to the end of the trial. Untreated control: Water was sprayed
