EFFECT OF PLANT EXTRACTS, INSECTICIDES AND CULTURAL PRACTICES ON GROWTH CHARACTERS AND DISEASE SEVERITY OF MUNGBEAN YELLOW MOSAIC (Pages : 16 - 20)

A field experiment was conducted at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from March to July, 2007 to evaluate the potentiality of some selected plant extracts, insecticides and cultural practices in reducing severity of mungbean yellow mosaic virus. The lowest (15.85%) disease symptoms expressed in true leaves was recorded from Admire treated plot compare to the control at fifty days after sowing. The insecticide, Admire 200SL treated plot gave the lowest disease severity (3.95) and the tallest (46.52 cm) plant compare to control. The higher number of pods per plant was recorded where Admire was sprayed (23.50) and lower in Reflective tape treated plot. The maximum pod length also increased by Admire treated plot while Reflective tape treated pod length was minimum. Download
