Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Germination of ginger was varied from 80-97% in the eight treatments at Bogra, Gazipur and Ramgarh. The highest disease incidence 86.0% was found in the control plot at Bogra and the lowest disease 6.0% in the treatment where Seed treatment with Chlorox, 10% + Soil treatment with SBP (20 kg/ha) + Soil drenching with Chlorox & Ridomil alternately for 5 times.at Gazipur location. The highest yield 24.70 (t/ha) was measured in the same treatment at Bogra while the lowest yield 5.93 t/ha was recorded in control treatment at Gazipur.

Keywords: Rhizome rot, Ginger, Chlorox

Location: Bogra, Gazipur and Ramgarh

Start Date: 00-00-2013

End Date: 00-00-2014

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Diseases, Ginger

Objectives:

The present study was undertaken to develop the appropriate management package for rhizome rot disease of ginger.

Methodology:

Three experiments were conducted with following 8 treatments during 2013-14 cropping season to standardize the control measure for rhizome rot at Gazipur, Bogra and Ramgarh. The trials were laid out following RCBD with three replications. The cost benefit ratio for application of package treatment for management of rhizome rot disease of ginger was calculated based on the current market price of input, rate of hiring labour and agricultural machinery etc. Price of ginger given on the basis of market price at farm level. Estimation of Cost Benefit Ratio (BCR) was calculated according to Gitting (1982) using the following formula:

Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) = Gross return (Tk./ha)/Total cost of production (Tk./ha).

Achievement/Findings:

The germination of ginger was found ranging from 80.0-97.0% under different treatment at various locations. The highest germination (97.0)% was recorded at Bogra in treatment where Seed treatment with Chlorox (10.0)% and the lowest germination 86.0% was found in untreated control treatment. Similar result was obtained for Gazipur location also. However, in Ramgarh, the germination was found lower than Bogra and Gazipur. The disease incidence was found significantly reduced in all treatments over control. The highest disease incidence ranged from 50.0-62.0 % was recorded in untreated control whereas it was the lowest ranged from 6.0-7.0%. in the treatment where seed treatment with Chlorox (10.0)% + Soil treatment with stable bleaching powder, 20 kg/ha + Soil drenching with Chlorox and Ridomil alternately for 5 times were applied in all locations. The highest yield was 24.70 t/ha recorded in package treatment-in the same treatment where disease incidence was the lowest in Bogra location and followed by Gazipur (22.80 t/ha) and 22.50 t/ha at Bogra and Gazipur in the treatment where Seed treated with Chlorox (10.0)%_. The lowest yield 5.93 t/ha observed at Gazipur and 6.53 t/ha at Bogra in the control treatment. Due to unavoidable circumstances yield data of Ramgarh is unable to produce. The result of the present study indicated that combined application of seed treatment with Chlorox (10.0%) + Soil treatment with Stable Bleaching Powder (20 kg/ha) + Soil drenching with Chlorox & Ridomil alternately for 5 times gave good control of rhizome rot disease as well as increased yield of ginger. Rathaiah (1987) also reported that soft rot of ginger controlled by using Ridomil in combination of Captofal/Mancozeb as wetting of seed pieces before planting and soil drenching of Ridomil and Captofal significantly increased yield of ginger.

Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) of the field experiments as well as validation trials was estimated. Results revealed that treatment T₇= Seed treatment with Chlorox (10.0%) + Soil treatment with SBP (20 kg/ha) + Soil drenching with Chlorox & Ridomil Gold alternately for 5 times yielded the highest return i.e., benefit cost ratio (BCR) 4.85 followed by treatment T₄= Seed treatment with Chlorox (10.0%) with BCR 4.61 in the field trials. Benefit cost ratio was 3.38 and 3.27, respectively for the other promising treatment T₆= Ridomil seed treatment + 2 times soil drenching with Ridomil Gold and T₅= Bavistin seed treatment + 2 times soil drenching with Bavistin in compared to control.

Seed treatment with Chlorox (10.0%) + Soil treatment with SBP (20kg/ha) + Soil drenching with Chlorox & Ridomil Gold alternately for 5 times effectively control the rhizome rot disease of ginger and the technology may be recommended in rhizome rot prone areas..
