Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Lentil (Lins culinaris L.), an important source of protein for human diet in every day dish, occupied the top position with consumer’s preference in Bangladesh. The crop faced a lot of production constraints regularly in the country. At least sixteen diseases were found to attack the crop, of which stemphylium blight disease caused by the fungus Stemphylium sarciniformis was most important. Resistant variety of lentil against this disease remain unexplored, therefore, the alternate method of disease management was the chemical control through fungicide. To combat the disease by using fungicide the present investigation was under taken. The result of the present investigation revealed that Acmicop were able to combat the disease Stemphylium blight of lentil thereby increased seed yield of lentil though the combined effect of Rovral 80WP + Tilt 250EC was best among 21 entries. Seven entries showed resistant reaction against rust disease of lentil. The yield varied significantly from 656.25 to 1882.82 kg ha-1. The result of the present investigation also revealed that Dithen M 45 and Force were able to combat the disease rust of lentil thereby increased seed yield of lentil.

Keywords: Stemphylium blight of Lentil, Management pachage,

Location: Pulse Research Centre, Ishurdi, Pabna

Start Date:

End Date: 30-06-2006

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Diseases

Objectives:

1. To find out resistant germplasm against stemphylium blight of lentil. 2. To find out integrated management package in controlling stemphylium blight of lentil.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out at the experimental field of Pulses Research Center (PRC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Ishurdi, Pabna to screening of lentil germplasm against stemphylium blight and rust diseases and an integrated management package to controlling stemphylium blight of lentil by using different fungicides available in the market. A total of five (5) experiments were conducted to achieve the project objectives. The conducted experiments were: Experiment 1. Efficacy of fungicides in controlling Stemphylium blight of lentil (In-vitro). Experiment 2. Efficacy of fungicides in controlling Stemphylium blight disease of lentil in-vivo. Experiment 3. Screening of Lentil genotypes for resistance to Stemphylium blight disease. Experiment 4. Screening of Lentil genotypes for resistance of rust [(Uromyces fabae (Pers.) de Bary] disease. Experiment 5. Control of Lentil Rust by use of fungicides.
