DEVELOPMENT OF BIO-RATIONAL BASED IPM PACKAGES AGAINST THRIPS IN GARLIC (Pages : 10 - 14)

The field experiment was conducted at SRC, Bogra during Rabi season of 2013-14 to evaluate the effectiveness of several bio-rational based IPM packages against thrips in garlic. The treatments were five bio-rational based IPM packages and one untreated control. Spraying of Spinosad (Tracer 45SC) @ 0.4ml/litre of water + White sticky trap @ 40traps/ha resulted the lowest thrips population (3.20, 3.11, 3.74 thrips/plant after 1st, 2nd and 3rd treatment application respectively) with highest marginal benefit cost ratio (19.94). The highest percentage of thrips population (82.60) reduction (after 3rd treatment application) over control and the highest garlic bulb yield (8.77 t/ha) was also obtained from Spinosad (Tracer 45SC) + White sticky trap treated plot. So, installation of sticky white trap along with spraying of Spinosad (Tracer 45SC) may be recommended for effective management of thrips in garlic.Download
