Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A comprehensive survey was conducted in Jamalpur and Sherpur districts to measure the severity of major diseases of brinjal and tomato at this region during rabi season of 2018-19. Bacterial wilt of brinjal and viral disease of tomato were found to be higher in incidence. Wilting of tomato, viral disease of brinjal and phomopsis blight of brinjal were medium in incidence at different locations.

Keywords: Brinjal, Tomato, Survey

Location: Jamalpur and sherpur

Start Date: 00-00-2018

End Date: 00-00-2019

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Brinjal, Diseases, Tomato

Objectives:

There are a number of diseases that can cause yield reduction of brinjal and tomato. Many known and unknown pathogens are responsible for such kind of diseases. Farmers of Jamalpur region are facing this problem for years. So, this attempt was made for the survey of the incidence of major diseases of brinjal and tomato at Jamalpur and Sherpur district.

Methodology:

The survey work was conducted in the farmer’s field at Jamalpur and Sherpur districts during October 2018 to March 2019. The incidence and severity of different diseases were recorded. Disease assesment were done in 30 farmer’s fields in 10 locations of 4 upazillas of the region. The study areas were Jamalpur sadar, Melandah, Islampur and Sherpur sadar upazilla. In every area 3 vegetables fields were evaluated. Diseases were recorded in rabi season on individual plant, both leaf and fruit. Disease assessment was made in three unit areas (100 plants from each vegetable field) selected randomly. In every unit area total number of diseased plant along with number of corresponding healthy plants were counted separately. The results were expressed in percentage. Disease incidence was graded as low (up to 10%), medium (up to 30%) and high (more than 30%). Data were collected at the seedling, growing and maturity stages of plant growth of brinjal and tomato.

Achievement/Findings:

Different types of disease were found in surveyed areas (Table 2). Bacterial wilt of brinjal was a major disease for brinjal cultivation in Jamalpur and Sherpur. On the hand, viral diseases of tomato was a major threat for tomato growers in this region. Incidence of wilting in tomato at surveyed areas was medium and viral diseases of brinjal in the region was also medium. Brinjal farmers of Jamalpur and Sherpur districts also experienced phomopsis blight disease in their crop field. From the survey report it found that Jamalpur and Sherpur districts were at high risk of bacterial wilt of brinjal and viral disease of tomato. So, necessary precaution should be taken to control these diseases at economic threshold level in the region.
