EFFECT OF HORTICULTURAL PRACTICES ON INCIDENCE OF ANTHRACNOSE ON YIELD AND QUALITY OF MANGO (Pages : 1 - 9)

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different horticultural practices for controlling mango antharcnose with achieving higher yield and quality of mango cv. Amrapali at the Germplasm Centre of the Fruit Tree Improvement Project (GPC-FTIP), Department of Horticulture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from July 2000–July2002. It was found that application of different horticultural practices effectively reduced the mango anthracnose. P+W+S produced the highest (47.34) number of healthy fruits per plant and the lowest (27.17) was obtained from control plant. The highest (10.26 t/ha) yield was obtained from P+W+S treated plant and the lowest (4.97 t/ha) was found from control plant. Second year x P+W+S treated plant resulted the highest (11.04 t/ha) yield and the lowest (5.40 t/ha) was found from 2nd year x control treated plant. Download
