Abstract:
The present research was conducted at the experimental field of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka during the period from
April to November, 2011 to study management of mungbean pod borer. The
experiment compared with seven different chemicals and botanical pesticide
including control treatment viz. Dursban 20EC @ 2 ml L-1 of water, Ripcord 10
EC @ 3.0 ml L-1 of water, Diazinon 60EC @ 3.5 ml L-1 of water, Marshal
20EC @ 3 ml L-1 of water, Suntap 50SP @ 3 ml L-1 of water, Neem oil @ 2 ml
L-1 of water, Control were used in this study. The experiment was laid out in
Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications.. The
lowest flower and pod infestation was recorded in Marshal 20EC treated plots.
The same treatment also produced the tallest plant, maximum number of leaves
plant-1 and number of branch per plant. These results indicate that the Marshal
20EC @ 3 ml L-1 of water showed the better performance in managing the pod
borer of mungbean as well as on growth and yield of mungbean.
