Objectives:

The present study was undertaken to explore the incidence and severity of the existing diseases as well as outbreak of new diseases of vegetables, oilseed, pulses and fruits at Ishurdi, Pabna.

Methodology:

The survey was conducted in the farmer’s field in Ishurdi, Pabna region from October 2015 to March 2016. The incidence and severity of different diseases were recorded. Disease assessments were done in 10 locations of the regions. Diseases were recorded in Rabi seasons both on leaf and fruit. Disease assessment was made in a three-unit area (100 plants from each vegetable, pulses and oil crop field and 10 plants from each orchard) selected randomly. In every unit area, total numbers of the diseased plants along with a number of corresponding healthy plants were counted separately. The results were expressed in percentage. The disease incidence was graded as low (up to 20%), medium 21-50%) and high (more than 50%) intensity. Data were collected at the seedling, growing and maturity stages of plant growth in the case of vegetables and the existing stage of the fruit plant in the orchard. The standard plant disease survey sheet was used to collect different information about the crops (vegetables, pulses, oil crop and fruit plant) and corresponding diseases.
