Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A research work on the fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) of mango was conducted at Fruit Research Station, BARI, Binodpur, Rajshahi during January-June 2019 to know incidence, nature and extent of damage and effect of different control measures. There were 8 Treatments viz T₁= Bagging by polythen bag (perforated), T₂ = Bagging by butter paper bag (Perforated), T₃ = Bagging by brown paper bag (Perforated), T₄ = Bagging by mosquito net, T₅ = Bagging by mosquito net (Bag banded by Bokrom), T6 = Bagging by China brown paper bag, T₇ = Bagging by China white paper bag and T₈ = Untreated control against mango fruit fly to evaluate their effectiveness. All types of bagging showed 0 % infestation except bagging by mosquito net which caused 24.82% infestation, on the other hand the highest 61.12% infestation was found in untreated control. Except bagging by mosquito net (59.39%), all other bagging performed the best result with 100% reduction of fruit infestation. Bagging by polythene bag showed the highest MBCR (1.9).

Keywords: Mango, Bagging, Mosquito net, Fruit, Mango fruit fly, Fruit fly, Polythen bag

Location: Fruit Research Station, BARI, Binodpur, Rajshahi, Bangladesh

Start Date: 00-01-2019

End Date: 00-06-2019

Program Area: Postharvest and Agro-processing

Commodity: Mango, Fly

Objectives:

To develop effective management option (s) against mango fruit fly.

Methodology:

The field experiment was conducted at Fruit Research Station, BARI, Binodpur, Rajshahi during January-June 2019. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. One tree (20 years old) served as a replicate. The variety Langra was used in this experiment. There were 8 Treatments viz T₁= Bagging by polythen bag (perforated), T₂ = Bagging by butter paper bag (Perforated), T₃ = Bagging by brown paper bag (Perforated), T₄ = Bagging by mosquito net, T₅ = Bagging by mosquito net (Bag banded by Bokrom), T6 = Bagging by China brown paper bag, T₇ = Bagging by China white paper bag and T₈ = Untreated control. All types of bagging trap were done premature stage of fruit. Hundred fruits for each treatment were randomly selected. After continuous observation, total numbers of healthy and infested fruits were recorded and per cent infestation was calculated.
