Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was carried out at Jute Agriculture Experiment Station, Manikgang and Central Station of BJRI. during the year 2012 in Dhaka Central Station , Experimental plots of JAES, Manikganj, Rangpur Regional Station, Pakhimara Station of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Insect and mite infestations are varied from location to location and variety to variety. Survey on insect and mite pests of jute & allied fibre crops was conducted in the experimental plots of different regional stations of BJRI through prescribed format. Heavy infestation of yellow mite (56%) was recorded at Rangpur during the month of June-July. Poor apion infestation (4-10%) was observed at different location during the month of July-August. Poor infestation (5-20.50%) of jute hairy caterpillar was recorded at different location during the June-July. Mealy bug infestation was highest (25%) at Central station, Dhaka during the month of July-August. Moderate infestation of spiral borer (30%) was recorded at Pakhimara substation of BJRI during the month of August-September.

Keywords: Jute, Insects, Mite, Survey, Field condition.

Location: Dhaka Central Station , Experimental plots of JAES, Manikganj, Rangpur Regional Station, Pakhimara Station of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Dhaka .

Start Date: 01-03-2012

End Date: 31-12-2012

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

1. Survey of insect and pest attack on jute and their severity in different locations .

2. To take control measure against the insect.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at Central Station of BJRI, Experimental plots of JAES, Manikganj, Rangpur Regional Station and Pakhimara Station of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, during the year 2012. Survey on insect and mite pests of jute & allied fibre crops was conducted through prescribed format developed for the purpose keeping the objectives in view. Direct observation from the field and laboratory study were done in the Entomology Laboratory of Pest Management Division of BJRI. No plant protection measures were taken till harvest to facilitate the natural insect occurrence infestations. Insect and mite pest infestation were evaluated on the basis of percentage of affected plants and were recorded from the experimental plots of each replication. Survey on different Insect and mite pest infestation of jute and allied fibre crops is essential to forecast about of the Insect and mite pest infestation in particular region.
