Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The highest germination of ginger was 97, 83, 97 and 96% recorded at Bogra, Khagrachari, Plant Pathology and PGRC Field, BARI, Gazipur, respectively in the plot treated with ( T₉) =Ridomil seed treatment + 2 times soil drenching with Ridomil , T₇=Bleaching powder, 100kg ha-1, T₅= bleaching powder, 20kg ha^-1and T₁= Mustard oil cake, 300kg ha^-1. The lowest germination 53, 59, 84 and 88% was found in the treatment T₅, T₁, T₆and T₉ applied at Bogra, Khagrachari, Plant Pathology and PGRC Field-Gazipur, respectively.The highest disease incidence 54.45% was found in the control plot and the lowest disease 8% recorded in T₁₀ at Bogra. At the Khagrachari location, disease incidence was the highest 64.94% in the treatment T₁₁ and the lowest 11.10 % in T₉. The highest 22.92 (t ha^-1) yield was measured in T₅ at the Plant Pathology, Field Gazipur while the lowest yield 4.54 t/ha was recorded in control treatment at Khagrachari. In the fields of BARI, Gazipur 5-6% and 5-7% disease incidence was recorded in PGRC and Plant Pathology field when seed treatment with Clorox or Ridomil used as seed treatment & soil drenchning materials.

Keywords: Management, Rhizome rot, Ginger

Location: Joydebpur, Bogra, Khagrachari

Start Date: 00-00-2012

End Date: 00-00-2013

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Ginger

Objectives:

To develop the appropriate management package of rhizome rot disease of ginger.

Methodology:

Four experiments were conducted for controlling ginger rhizome rot in different locations. Among them two at Gazipur and one in each place of Bogra and Khagrachari during the cropping season 2012-13. There were 11 treatments viz, T₁= Mustard oil cake, (300kg ha^-1), T₂= Mustard oil cake, (600kg ha^-1), T₃= Neem oil cake (300kg ha-1) T₄= Poultry refuge (5 t ha^-1) T₅= Stable bleaching powder (20kg ha^-1) T₆= Stable bleaching powder (30kg ha^-1) T₇= Bleaching powder (100k ha-1), T₈= Bavistin seed treatment + 2 times soil drenching with Bavistin, T₉= Ridomil seed treatment + 2 times soil drenching with Ridomil, T₁₀= Ridomil seed treatment + 2 times soil drenching with Secure and T₁₁= Control with three replications. The design of the experiment was RCBD. Date was analyzed statistically following DMRT. One trial was sat up at the Plant Pathology field and another at PGRC field. In the Plant Pathology field experiment at Gazipur, seed treatment with Clorox (10%) was included in the treatment T₅ instead of seed treatment with Stable bleaching powder (20kg ha^-1). The variety BARI Ada-1 was sown at Bogra where as local variety of ginger was sown at Gazipur and Khagrachari. The spacing was maintained 50cm x 25 cm in all the three locations. Recommended fertilizer doses and proper intercultural operations were applied in all the experiments. Germination, disease incidence and yield data were recvorded from the experiments.

Achievement/Findings:

All the treatments effectively control rhizome rot compared to control. The highest disease incidence was 54.45% in the control treatment and the lowest disease incidence was found by 8% where Ridomil Seed treatment & 2 times were applied at Bogra. The higher disease incidence 52.51%, 45.65% and 44.72% were found in the treatment T₂, T₁ and T₃, respectively. The lower disease incidence by 10.10% and 11% were recorded in the treatment T₆ and T₅. In the Plant Pathology Field, BARI, Gazipur, the highest disease incidence 51.35% was recorded in the control treatment preceded by 49.48%, 42.58% and 41.81% in treatment T₂, T₁ and T₃. The lowest disease incidence by 7% was found in the treatment T₉. In the PGRC Field, BARI, the maximum disease 49.40% was observed in control while the lowest disease incidence 5.98% was recorded in treatment T₉. At the Khagrachari location, disease incidence was the highest 64.94% in the control plot and the lowest 11.10 % in T₉. In general, treatment with Ridomil & two times its soil drenching offered as the best treatment in controlling rhizome rot of ginger. Application of SBP@ 20 & 30 kg ha^-1 occupied the 2nd and 3rd places to minimizing the disease. Considering the yield, the highest 22.92 (t ha^-1) yield was measured in T₅ at the Plant Pathology, Field Gazipur while the lowest yield 4.54 t ha^-1 was recorded in control treatment at Khagrachari. All treatments showed the better yield compared to control treatment in the all locations.
