Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was conducted at Regional Agricultural Research Station, BARI, Akbarpur, Moulvibazar to evaluate the performance of different bagging materials during April to June, 2019 for the control of litchi fruit borer infestation at BARI Litchu2. Four treatments were included like perforated polythene bag, brown paper bag, net bag and control (no bag used). All the bagging materials gave protection against the fruit borer infestation over unbagged control fruits. The maximum pulp weight (11.25g) and the highest percentage of TSS (17.62%) were found in the treatment where litchi fruits were bagged with brown paper bag. Considering the fruit borer infestation, weight of fruit, length of fruit, pulp weight, % TSS among the three bagging techniques, bagging of litchi fruits with brown paper bag was effective for the control of litchi fruit borer.

Start Date: 00-00-2018

End Date: 00-00-2019

Program Area: Postharvest and Agro-processing

Commodity: Litchi

Objectives:

To compare efficacy of different bagging materials for the control of the litchi fruit borer.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted at RARS, Akbarpur, Moulvibazar during April to June, 2019. The treatments were bagging of fruits with brown paper bag, perforated polythene bag, net bag and control (no bagging). Number of replication was three. The variety BARI Litchu- 2 was used in this study against litchi fruit borer. Fruit bagging was done at 40 days after fruit set. After fruit harvest, data were recorded on different parametersviz: percent damaged by fruit borer, weight of fruit, fruit size, pulp weight, stone weight, pulp stone ratio, percent TSS. Data were analyzed statistically using the statistix 10 statistical computer programme. The means were compared following LSD (Least significance Differences).
