Abstract/ Executive Summary:

A field study was conducted at the research field of Vegetable Division, HRC at Joydebpur during 2006-2007. There were seven treatments viz., T₁= Seeds treated with Cruzer (Thiamethoxan); T₂= Soil application with Furadan 5G (5g/plant); T₃= Mechanical control with sweeping net; T₄= Spray with neem oil @10ml/L+5ml Trix at 7 days interval; T₅= Spray with neem seed karnel extract @50g/l of water at 7 days interval; T₆= Seedlings netting with 16 mesh mosquito net at seedling stage up to 45 days of germination and T₇= untreated control in order to develop an effective integrated approach for the management of red pumpkin beetle in sweet gourd. Results indicated that seedlings netting with 16 mesh mosquito net at seedling stage up to 45 days of germination effectively control of red pumpkin beetle of sweet gourd in comparison to other treatments used in the study. Therefore, seedlings netting with 16 mesh mosquito net at seedling stage up to 45 days of germination could be suggested for controlling red pumpkin beetle in sweet gourd.

Location: HRC, BARI, Gazipur

Start Date: 01-01-2006

End Date: 30-06-2006

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Sweet gourd

Objectives:

To develop an effective integrated approach for the management of red pumpkin beetle of sweet gourd.

Methodology:

A field study was conducted at the research field of Vegetable Division, HRC at Joydebpur during 2006-2007. There were seven treatments viz., T₁= Seeds treated with Cruzer (Thiamethoxan); T₂= Soil application with Furadan 5G (5g/plant); T₃= Mechanical control with sweeping net; T₄= Spray with neem oil @10ml/L+5ml Trix at 7 days interval; T₅= Spray with neem seed karnel extract @50g/l of water at 7 days interval; T₆= Seedlings netting with 16 mesh mosquito net at seedling stage up to 45 days of germination and T₇= untreated control. The experiment was laid out in a RCB design with 3 replications. The unit plot size was 10m X 3m. Seeds were sown on December 2006. Number of infested plant and number of adult red pumpkin beetle and fruit yield were recorded. Data were analyzed for variance test and means were separated using DMRT.
