Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Several management approaches were evaluated against fruit borer attacking Pomegranate at Fruit Research Station, BARI, Binodpur, Rajshahi during 2010-2011. All the evaluated approaches for managing the pest i.e.wrappinig of fruits by waxi paper, by used cloth and by perforated polybag were found to be equally effective against pomegranate fruit borer and provided 100% fruit infestation reduction over control.

Keywords: Management package, fruit borer, Irachola isocrates, pomegranate

Location: Binodpur, Rajshahi

Start Date: 01-01-2011

End Date: 30-06-2011

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Pomegranate

Objectives:

To develop a management approach against fruit borer of pomegranate

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Fruit Research Station, BARI, Binodpur, Rajshahi during January/2011 to June/2011. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Completed Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. Two trees served as a replication. The pomegranate local cultivar was used in this experiment. There were 4 treatments viz. T₁ = wrapping of fruits by waxy paper, T₂ = wrapping of fruits by used cloth, T₃= wrapping of fruits by perforated polybag, T₄ = Control (untreated). All types of wrapping were done at the initial stage (marble size) of fruit. Ten fruit for each treatment were selected for wrapping... After continuous observation total numbers of healthy and infested fruits were recorded and per cent infestation was calculated.
