Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A field survey was carried out in mid western region of Bangladesh during 2016-17 to determine the chickpea pod borer infestation level. Pod borer infestation varied depending on the locations and it ranged from 2.34 to 9.07%. The lowest number of moth catching (0.67/trap/week) and accordingly the lowest pod borer infestation (2.34%) was observed in Faridpur sadar followed by Jessore sadar. The highest number of moth catching (3.17/trap/week) and accordingly the highest pod borer infestation (9.07%) was observed in Jhikargacha, Jessore and the rest other areas like Ishurdi, Pabna; Godagari, Rajshahi and Chapainawabgonj sadar received more or less similar pod infestation which was in between 6.07 to 6.90%.

Keywords: Pod borer, Infestation level, Chickpea

Location: Ishurdi, Jessore, Faridpur, Barind, Jhikargacha, Jessore, Ishurdi, Pabna; Godagari, and Chapainawabgonj sadar

Start Date: 00-00-2016

End Date: 00-00-2017

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Borer, Chickpea

Objectives:

The present study has been taken to determine the pod borer infestation level of different chickpea growing areas of mid western region

Methodology:

Different chickpea growing areas of mid western region of Bangladesh like Ishurdi, Jessore, Faridpur and Barind area of Rajshahi were visited and installed pheromone trap to monitor pod borer moth from flowering to pod maturing stage of chickpea. The number of pod borer moth catches in each trap was counted twice a week after installing the trap. Then mean number of moth catch/trap/week was calculated. Three chickpea plots of each location were surveyed at pod maturing stage and ten randomly selected plants of each plot was collected. All pods were collected from 10 randomly selected plants of each plot and examined. The bored (damaged) and total number of pods was counted and the percent pod infestation was determined.

Achievement/Findings:

Pod borer moth population and pod borer infestation varied depending on the locations. Mean number of moth catch/trap/week ranged from 0.67 to 3.17/trap/week and pod borer infestation ranged from 2.34 to 9.07% (Table 1). The lowest pod borer infestation (2.34%) was observed in Faridpur sadar area along with the lowest moth catching (0.67 moth/trap/week) followed by Jessore sadar. The highest pod borer infestation (9.07%) was observed in Jhikargacha, Jessore along with the highest moth catching (3.17 moth/trap/week). Rest other areas like Ishurdi, Pabna; Godagari, Rajshahi; and Chapainawabgonj sadar received more or less similar pod infestation by pod borer which was in between 6.07 to 6.90%.
