Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiments were carried out at Plant Pathology Research field, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS) farm at Jessore, Hathazari, Chittagong and Jamalpur, Agricultural Research Station and farmers field at Burirhat, Rangpur and OFRD farm at Alamnagar, Rangpur and during 2012-2013 cropping season. The developed technology, poultry refuse+ stable bleaching powder+ Furadan 5G was evaluated against root knot nematode and bacterial wilt diseases of tomato. The technology was found to be effective in reducing root knot nematode and bacterial diseases and increasing of tomato in all the locations.

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Tomato

Objectives:

To test the developed technology of integrated management of bacterial wilt and root knot nematode of tomato at different location in the country.

Methodology:

The validation trials were conducted in the field of Plant Pathology Research Division, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS) at Jessore, Hathazari, Chittagong, Jamalpur, Agricultural Research Station and farmers field at Burirhat, Rangpur and OFRD farm at Alamnagar, Rangpur and during 2012-2013 cropping season. The developed technology poultry refuse @ 5 t/ha + Stable bleaching powder @ 20 kg/h + Furadan 5G 25 kg/ha for integrated management of root knot nematode and bacterial wilt of tomato was applied in all the locations excepting Gazipur, Jamalpur and Hathazari where control treatment also used for comparison. The unit plot size was around 1 bigha and spacing was 50 cm x 60 cm. The tomato variety BARI tomato-2, 14 and 15 were used at different locations. Poultry refuse was applied @ 5t/ha before 21 days of seedling transplanting. After application it was properly mixed with soil and frequently added water for completely decomposed in the soil. Stable bleaching powder @ 20 kg ha^-1 was applied at the final land preparation and Furadan 5G was used at the time of seedling transplanting. Seedlings tomato was transplanted at the age of 30-35 days. Intercultural operations were done as per standard recommendation. During the growing period bacterial wilt incidence was recorded from seedling to maturity stage of the crop. Data on root knot nematode severity and yield of tomato were recorded. Root knot disease severity was recorded as a gall index following 0-10 scale after final harvesting of tomato.

Achievement/Findings:

Root knot nematode disease severity was also lower recorded as the gall index value range from 1.10-1.60 in the treated plot but gall index value was higher range from 3.25 to 3.75 in the control plot. Application integration management package gave the higher yield 54.84 to 65.53 t ha-1 of tomato where the yield was lower 41.20 to 48.50 t ha^-1 in the control plot. At Gazipur, yield was 25.38% higher in the treated plot compared to control plot. While at Hathazari and Jamalpur the yield was 24.87% and 22.15% higher at Hathazari and Jamalpur, respectively in the treated plot c compared to control plot. At RARS Jessore, bacterial wilt incidence was higher 17.50% and the gall index value of root knot nematode disease incidence was 2.60. On the other hand yield was lower 49.50 t/ha at Jessore. In Rangpur region, bacterial wilt disease was not observed at ARS, Burirhat farm as well as farmers field at Gangachara, Rangpur where at OFRD, Alamnagar, Rangpur farm 10% bacterial wilt incidence was recorded. On the other hand root knot disease severity was very lower in all the selected locations in Rangpur where the gall index value was 1.0 to 2.0. The yield was higher in the ARS, Burirhat farm as 68.96 t/ha where it was 62.59 and 59.97 t ha-1 at the farmers field at Gangachara, Rangpur and 56.60 t ha^-1 at OFRD, Alamnagar, Rangpur farm.
