Entomology Department, Pest management Division, Manik Mia Avenue,BJRI,Dhaka-1207

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Different Concentration of turmeric powder, turmeric raw and leaf extracts of mahogany were tested against yellow mite keeping the control plants untreated Among the test materials the highest 64.60% mortality was found in turmeric powder extract at the ratio of 1:40 followed by turmeric powder extract of ration 1:20 (61% mortality). These will be tested in the field conditions for confirmations.

Keywords: Plant materials, Jute, yellow mite, Pest Control

Location: Greenhouse premises, Central station, Laboratory of Entomology Department, Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Dhaka.

Start Date: 15-03-2001

End Date: 30-09-2001

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

1.To minimize the use of pesticides in Pest control program

2.Botanicals may be may be used as an alternative substances

3.To investigate the effectiveness of indigenous plant materials for the control of jute pests.

Methodology:

Jute plants were grown in pot at greenhouse premises.After sufficient natural infestation build up in the potted plants,different concentrations of selected plant materials were sprayed on the infested plants.The control plants were kept untreated and each treatment was replicated 4 times. Number of infested plants were recoded before spray and 3, 5 and 7 days after spray. leaf samples were collected and examined under bionocular microscope at 24, 48 and 72 hrs after spray and calculated percent mortality according to Abbot, sformula.
