Abstract:
the effect of eight selected treatments viz. Grafting (T,), Furadan
5G (T2), Cupravit (T3), Bavistin (T4), Trichoderma harzianum T22(T5),
Sawdust (T6), Khudepana (T7) and Control (Ta) were tested against
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae and Meloidogyne incognita for
the management of wilt disease of eggplant during 55 days after
transplanting to 95 days after transplanting at the Farm of Sher-e-Bangla
Agricultural University, Dhaka. The efficacy of the treatments varied
significantly in terms of wilt incidence, root knot incidence, plant growth
and fruit yield. Soil application 'of Sawdust (T6), Trichoderma harzianum
T22 (T5), Furadan 5G (T2) and Grafting (T,) showed promising effect
against the wilt pathogens. The applied treatments enhanced plant growth
and increased fruit yield by 622.08%, 605.54%, 526.250/0 and 501.67%,
respectively over untreated Control (Ta). Cost benefit analysis showed
that soil application of Sawdust resulted the highest BCR (4.17) followed
by Furadan 5G (3.83), Trichoderma harzianum T22(3.83), and Grafting
(3.16) in comparison to Control (0.70).
