Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was carried out at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ishwardi, Pabna during 2012-14 to find out an integrated management approach to control wilt complex of banana efficiently. The lowest wilt incidence (8.33%) was recorded in Bavistin + Neem oil cake + Furadan 5G treated plots and the highest (33.33%) was in control.The yield ranged from 23.33 to 28.36 t/ha, where the highest yield was recorded in Bavistin + Neem oil cake + Furadan 5 G treated plots and the lowest was in control.

Keywords: Wilt, Banana, Neem Oil Cake

Start Date: 00-00-2013

End Date: 00-00-2014

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Diseases, Banana

Objectives:

To develop an integrated management approach to control wilt complex of banana efficiently

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at RARS, Ishwardi, Pabna during 2012-14. The experimental land was well ploughed and properly leveled. Weeds and stubble were removed from the field. The unit plot size was 4.0 m X 4.0 m and plant spacing was 2.0 m X 2.0 m. The experiment was carried out following Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The test variety of banana was Sabri. Nine treatments were T₁ = Banana sucker dipped in 0.2% Bavistin solution for 45 minutes before planting + Pit soil drenching with Bavistin @ 0.2%, T₂ = Soil application with Mustard Oil Cake @ 400 kg/ha, T₃ = Soil application with Neem Oil Cake @ 400 kg/ha, T₄ = Soil application with Furadan 5 G @ 60 kg/ha, T₅ = Soil drenching with Actara 25 WG @ 0.05%, T₆ = Soil application with Bleaching powder @ 20 kg/ha, T₇ = T₁ + T₂+ T_4,T₈ = T₁+T₃+T₄ and T₉= Control. Fertilizers and manures were applied as per recommendation. The suckers of banana were planted on January 10, 2013. The crop was harvested from January 12, 2014 to April 10, 2014. Data were recorded on disease incidence, plant height, wt. of bunch, No. of hands/bunch, no. of fingers/bunch, length of finger and yield (kg/ha). The recorded data were analyzed statistically and the variations among the respective data were compared following Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DMRT).

Achievement/Findings:

Incidence of wilt was significantly influenced by the treatments. The incidence of wilt ranged from 8.33 to 33.33 % and differed significantly among the integrated management approaches.The lowest incidence was recorded in T₈(Bavistin + Neem oil cake + Furadan 5 G) whereas the highest incidence (33.33 %) was in control. The highest disease reduction over control (75.00 %) was found in T₈(Bavistin + Neem oil cake + Furadan 5 G) and the lowest (24.99 %) was found from Soil application with T₃ (Neem Oil Cake @ 400 kg/ha) and Soil drenching with T₅ (Actara 25 WG @ 0.05%) treated plots. The plant height of banana ranged from 4.98 to 5.21m and did not varied significant among the integrated management approaches. However the highest plant height (5.21 m) was recorded in T₂ (Mustard oil cake) while the lowest (4.98 cm) was found from T₆. Treatments showed significant effect on wt of bunch, no. of hands/ Bunch and no. of fingers/bunch and yield. The highest wt of bunch, no. of hands/bunch and no. of fingers/bunch were recorded in T₈ and the lowest were found in control. The yield ranged from 23.33 to 28.36 t/ha, where the highest yield was recorded in T₈ and the lowest was obtained from control.
