Abstract/ Executive Summary:

An experiment was carried out during kharif 2012 at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Jessore to develop an effective management approach against pod borer of yard long bean. The management approach comprising of collection and destruction of larvae + Spraying of Proclaim (Emamectin benzoate) 5SG @ 1 g/L of water) was found most effective against pod borer. This package resulted highest (45.19%) reduction of pod infestation over control and also provided the highest yield (8.25 t/ha).

Keywords: Yard long bean, Pod borer, Management

Location: Jessore

Start Date: 00-00-2012

End Date:

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Yard long bean

Objectives:

To develop an appropriate strategy for managing the pod borer of yard long bean.

Methodology:

The experiment was carried out during kharif 2012 at Regional Agricultural Research Station, Jessore to develop an effective management approach for pod borer of yard long bean. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Yard long bean seeds were sown on 25 March 2012. The unit plot size was 3.0 m x 3.0 m having 50 plants with 60 cm row to row and 30 cm plant to plant distance maintained. The treatments were as follows: T₁ = Hand collection and destruction of larvae T₂ = T₁+ Spraying of Neem seed extract @ 50g /L of water at 7 days interval from first incidence of pest infestation T₃ = Spraying of Proclaim (Emamectin benzoate) 5SG @ 1 g/L of at 7 days interval from first incidence of pest infestation T₄ = T₁+ weekly release of Bracon hebetor and Trichogramma chilonis starting from 15 days after germination T₅ = T₁+ Spraying of Proclaim (Emamectin benzoate) 5SG @ 1 g/L of water at 7 days interval from first incidence of pest infestation . T₆ = Untreated Control. The number of healthy and infested pods were recorded and weighed to calculate percentage of infested pod at each harvest.
