Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A survey was conducted at Hathazari, Satkania and Fatikchari upazila in Chittagong region during 2006-2007. Brinjal shoot and fruit borer (BSFB) found as the most common insect. Other notable pests were jassids, red mites (Tetranychus sp.) and epilachina beetle (Epilachina spp.), reported by 30.67%, 18.67% and 14.67% of farmers, respectively. Ninety nine percent farmers relied solely on spraying of pesticides for the control of BFSB; the remaining 1% used a combination of sanitation, which consists of prompt removal of damaged shoot, coupled with pesticide sprays.

Keywords: Survey, major insect pests, management, brinjal

Location: RARS, Hathazari, Chittagong

Start Date: 01-11-2006

End Date: 25-02-2007

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Brinjal

Objectives:

1) To observe the major insect pests of brinjal at Hathazari region 2) To know the recent insecticide use pattern in brinjal at Hathazari region for managing brinjal pests

Methodology:

A survey was conducted at Hathazari, Satkania and Fatikchari upazila in Chittagong region. A total of 75 brinjal growers were interviewed during November 2006 to February 2007. Twenty-five farmers were selected from each area. To determine the recent insecticide use pattern, farmers who did not grow brinjal for the last one year were not selected. Objectives oriented questionnaires were used to identify major insect pest problems and pest management practices for brinjal cultivation. Pre-tested secure instruments were used for the collection of data. The collected data were processed and analyzed properly.
