MANAGEMENT OF POWDERY MILDEW AND RUST DISEASES OF GARDEN PEA USING FINGICIDES (Pages : 56 - 60)
M. M. ALAM, M. A. SADAT, M. Z. HOQUE AND M. H. RASHIDThe experiment was conducted to find out the efficacy of some new fungicides against powdery mildew and rust diseases of garden pea at Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Ishurdi, and Pabna during 2006-07. Eight different fungicides were tested and all fungicides resulted significantly better performance over control. Considering percent disease index (PDI), pod yield and yield contributing characters (plant height, pods/plant, length of pod, breadth of pod and seeds/pod), Sedozole 5 EC performed better than other fungicides and control treatment, which was closely followed by Conza. The highest PDI of both diseases was observed in control treatment, where as the lowest PDI and percent disease reduction over control was recorded in Sedozole 5 EC. So, Sedozole 5 EC (propiconazole) may be used for controlling powdery mildew and rust diseases and increasing pod yield of garden pea. Download
