MANAGEMENT OF LEAF CURL VIRUS DISEASE OF CHILLI BY USING CHEMICALS AND BARRIER CROP (Pages : 9 - 11)

An experiment was carried out at the Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Rahmatpur, Barisal, during three subsequent years of 2008-2009, 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 to evaluate the efficacy of different chemicals and cultural practices against leaf curl of chilli. Efficacy of different chemicals namely Admire (0.05%), Omite (0.1%), Milk (10%), Furadan 5G (30 kg/ha), and cultural practices i.e foxtail millet - one row after one row (barrier crop), foxtail millet (surrounding the plot), with untreated control were evaluated against leaf curl of chilli. Foxtail millet - one row after one row (barrier crop) gave the highest yield (778 kg/ha, 810 kg/ha and 757 kg/ha) and produce lowest percent disease index (19.34%, 24.53% and 22%) with lowest disease severity score (2, 3, 2) followed by foxtail millet (surrounding the plot) in the year of 2008-2009, 2009-2010 and 2010-2011, respectively. Control plot gave the lowest yield (329 kg/ha, 320 kg/ha and 299 kg/ha) and highest disease index (71.83%, 79.80% and 74.67% respectively) with highest disease severity score 4 in the subsequent yeas.
