DEVELOPMENT OF INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PACKAGE AGAINST THE MAJOR INSECT PESTS OF SESAME (SESAMUM INDICUM L.) (Pages : 30 - 34)

The experiments were conducted during the Kharif seasons of 2022 and 2023 at the Oilseed Research Centre (ORC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Gazipur, to develop an effective management approach against major insect pests of sesame. The treatments used were as follows: hand picking of larvae + perching + spraying of spinosad (success 2.5 SC) @ 1.2 ml/L of water, hand picking of larvae + ching + spraying of delegate (Spinetoram 11.7% SC) @ 1 ml/L of water, hand picking of larvae + ching + spraying of Biochamak (Celastras angulatas 1% EW) @ 2.5 ml/litre of water, and farmer practice (spraying of nitro 505 EC (Cypermethrin + Chlorpyriphos) @ 1.0 ml/L of water). The greatest numbers of whiteflies, hoppers, leaf beetles, green stink bugs and hairy caterpillars were found in the untreated control group in 2022 and 2023, and the lowest number was found in the Nitro 505 EC group, followed by the larva + perching + Biochamak group. The yield marginal benefit cost ratio (MBCR) was also greater for those treatments.Download
