Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at Spices Research Centre (SRC), BARI, Shibgonj, Bogra to find out the efficacy of different fungicides on rhizome rot of ginger under field conditions. Ten different fungicides viz. Ridomil, Dithane M-45, Rovral, Folicur, Darsbun + Ridomil, Knowin, Bavistin, Mataril, Furadan and a Control were used in this study. Number of infected plants per bed was found less that are treated with the combined dose of Darsbun and Ridomil used as seed treatment and soil drenching respectively than those treated with other treatments as well as control. It was also found that combined dose of Darsbun and Ridomil gave the highest yield followed by single treatment of Ridomil and Mataril and the lowest yield as well as highest number of infected plants was obtained in control (without application of any fungicides).

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Ginger

Objectives:

1. To find out the efficacy of different fungicides to control rhizome rot under field conditions.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at Spices Research Centre, BARI, Bogra, during the period of April 2006 to February 2007. A local cultivar of ginger (G006), highly susceptible to the rhizome rot, was planted on the 20th April in plots of 3.0 m x 1.5 m with a spacing of 50 cm from row to row and 25 cm from plant to plant. The design was RCBD with three (3) replications. The treatments were as follows: T₁= Ridomil (seed treatment + soil drenching); T₂= Dithane M-45 (seed treatment + soil drenching); T₃= Rovral (seed treatment + soil drenching); T₄= Folicur (seed treatment + soil drenching); T₅= Darsbun+ Ridomil (seed treatment + soil drenching); T₆= Knowin (seed treatment + soil drenching); T₇= Bavistin (seed treatment + soil drenching); T₈= Mataril (seed treatment + soil drenching); T₉= Furadan (seed treatment + soil drenching) and T₁₀= Control Rhizomes were dipped for 30 minutes in different fungicidal solution before planting. In case of treatment no. 5 (Darsbun + Ridomil), a solution was made by Darsbun and Ridomil and the rhizomes were dipped for 30 minutes and dried for 2-3 hrs. before planting. Soil was drenched at 90 days after planting up to October 30 at 15 days interval. Cultural practices were done as recommendation. Data were collected on disease incidence when the symptom appeared on the foliage. Harvesting was done in February 2007.The recorded data were statistically analyzed and the means were separated by DMRT for interpretation of the results.

Achievement/Findings:

It may be mentioned that the combined use of Darsbun, and Ridomil as seed treatment and soil drenching treatments respectively was highly effective in controlling the disease as well as in increasing the rhizome yield followed by singly use of Ridomil. And the combined use of Dursbun and Ridomil or Ridomil alone may also be prescribed to the farmers for controlling rhizome rot of ginger. The findings of the study will be an encouraging one in the ginger production in our country.
