Abstract/ Executive Summary:

To evaluate the effectiveness of some sett treating fungicides an experiment was conducted at Bangladesh Sugarcane Research Institute( BSRI ) farm, Ishurdi and RSRS farm, Thakurgaon during the cropping season 2008-09. Sett treating fungicide namely Frescozim 50WP, Erguven 50WP, Nova 50WP and Pedazim 50WP were used on germination of setts and Bavistin 50WP was used as standard. Sett dipping in clean water served as control. Data showed that there is a significant difference between control and other tested fungicides. However, among the tested fungicides, no one showed more than 80% efficacy over control. On the other hand, regarding yield no significant difference was found between control and tested fungicides.

Keywords: Sugarcane, Sett treatment, Soil borne disease, Fungicide,

Location: Bangladesh Sugarcane Research Institute (BSRI) farm, Ishurdi and RSRS, Thakurgaon

Start Date: 26-01-2009

End Date: 30-01-2010

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Fungicide

Objectives:

i) To find out effective fungicides for the control of major soil borne diseases.

ii) To keep soils free from the attack of soil borne fungal pathogens and to increase germination of setts.

iii) To increase the yield of cane and sugar.

Methodology:

An experiment was conducted at Bangladesh Sugarcane Research Institute( BSRI ) farm, Ishurdi and RSRS, Thakurgaon with some sett treating fungicides namely Frescozim 50WP, Erguven 50WP, Nova 50WP and Pedazim 50WP on germination of setts. Bavistin 50WP was used as standard. The trial was laid out in RCB design with 3 replications using the variety Isd 32. Two bud setts of sugarcane were treated by dipping in 0.1% solution of the fungicides. The duration of soaking was 30 min. for all fungicides. Sett dipping in clean water served as control. Data on germination of setts, mill able cane, yield and pol% in cane were taken.
