Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A trial of three insecticides, supracide 40 EC, perfection 40 EC and cidial 50 EC at doses of 0.1 %, 0.05% and 0.025 % a. i. was made against red pumpkin beettle, Supracide and perfection at 0.025% a. i. effectively killed the beetles which attacked the plants at seedling stage. The higher fruit yield was obtained by the application of supracide and perfection at their 0.1 % a. i. Supracide provided better control of the beetle and maximum pumpkin yield.

Keywords: Red pumpkin beetle, Insecticides, Pumpkin prodction, Yield

Location: Horticultural Farm, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh

Start Date: 00-00-1973

End Date: 00-00-1973

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Pumpkin

Objectives:

To assess the effect of the tested insecticides on the vegetative and reproductive potentialities of pumpkin as well as on the prevention of the insect pest.

Methodology:

The study was conducted at the Horticultural Farm of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the winter season of 1973. The pumpkin plants were raised in the pit. The number of plants was three per pit. Three insecticides viz., supracide 40 EC, perfection 40 EC and cidial 50 EC at doses of 0.1%, 0.05% and 0.025% active ingredient were selected for the test. The spray mixture for each of the doses of the insecticides was prepared by adding requisite quantity of water and was applied uniformly on the plants by means of a hand sprayer. The plants sprayed with water only were considered as control. There were three replications for each of the treatments, taking one pit for one replication. The effect of the tested insecticides was assessed on the vegetative and reproductive potentialities of pumpkin as well as on the prevention of the insect pest.
