Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted with insecticides, namely Krisban 50WP, Neptune 48EC, Aincoban 48EC, Greater 48EC, Chlorguard 48EC, Chlorban 40.8EC, Vifos 20EC, Luciban 20EC, Bismark 20SP, Imidagold 20SL, Lorsban 15G to find out their effectiveness for controlling sugarcane termites and on the growth and yield of sugarcane at Sreepur. All these insecticides were applied @ 2.25/0.20 Kg ha ^-1 or l ha^-1 during plantation, April and May. All of them except Aincoban, Chlorgaurd and Bismark provided 71-97% termite population control. Germination of sugarcane bud was higher in chemical treated plot than the untreated control. Yield of cane increased in Greater 48EC, Chlorban 40.8EC, Luciban 20EC, Imidagold 20SL and Lorsban 15G treated plots.

Keywords: Saccharum officinarum , Short residual, Termite

Location: Sreepur, Gazipur

Start Date: 00-00-2006

End Date: 00-00-2007

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Sugarcane

Objectives:

To find out the effectiveness of different insecticides against termite.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted in a farmer’s sugarcane field at Sreepur, Gazipur during 2006-07 cropping season following RCBD and replicated three times to identify the cheapest and effective insecticides against termite population. The variety Isd 36 was planted in 6mx5m plots. Two eyed setts were prepared and placed in trenches. Then tested insecticides Krisban 50WP, Neptune 48EC, Aincoban 48EC, Greater 48EC, Chlorguard 48EC, Chlorban 40.8EC, Vifos 20EC, Luciban 20EC, Bismark 20SP, Imidagold 20SL, Lorsban 15G were applied in trenches and setts were covered with soil. The insecticides like Krisban, Neptune, Aincoban, Greater, Chlorguard, Chlorban, Vifos, Luciban, Lorsban were applied @2.25 kg or litre/ ha and Bismark and Imidagold were sprayed @ 0.20 kg or litre/ha. Data were collected on termite population two times, first in month of April 2007 at tillering stage when most of the setts were attacked and then in November 2007 at maturity stage. Also data on growth and yield parameter i.e., tillers, millable cane and yield of sugarcane were collected. Intercultural operations like weeding, earthing up, mulching, and irrigation were done as usual. To study the efficacy of applied insecticides data on termite population were taken twice. Five clumps per plot were uprooted with the help of spade. The uprooted setts/stools were placed on a thick polythene paper, then split with a knife and counted termite population. Statistical analysis was done and treatment means were compared with the control following LSD test. Percent efficacy of insecticides was also calculated.

Achievement/Findings:

The overall results indicated that termite population might be controlled effectively with treatment of some of the e insecticides from planting setts to the harvest of sugarcane. The granular formulation of insecticides was more effective against termites and germination of sugarcane.
