Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The experiment was conducted in the established mango orchard of Regional Agricultural Research Station, Hathazari, Chittagong during 2014-15. Five different treatments namely: Thiovit, Copper Oxycloride, Imidacloprid, Cypermethrin with Propiconazole and Control (Water). All the tested pesticides reduced the disease over control. Out of five treatments, Admire and Cypermethrin with Propiconazole were effective against sooty mold of mango.

Keywords: Sooty mold, Mango, Fungicide, Tilt 250 EC

Location: Regional Agricultural Research Station, Hathazari, Chittagong

Start Date: 00-00-2014

End Date: 00-00-2015

Program Area: Pest Management

Commodity: Fungicide, Mango

Objectives:

To study the effect of sooty mold on quality of mango and to improve the quality of mango through management practices.

Methodology:

The experiment was conducted in the established mango orchard of Regional Agricultural Research Station, Hathazari, Chittagong during 2014-15. Under this experiment, three mango varieties viz. BARI aam-1, BARI aam-2 and BARI aam-3 were used with three replications. Five different treatments namely: Thiovit 80 WG, Copper Oxycloride, Imidacloprid, Cypermethrin with Propiconazole and Control (Water). These insecticides and fungicides were sprayed at pre-flowering stage and pea stage of mango. Percent diseased area (% DA) of fruits was calculated by an average of 21 randomly selected fruits in each treatment.

Achievement/Findings:

All the tested pesticides reduced the disease over control. The insecticide, Admire (0.05%) showed better performance in reducing the sooty mold of mango. The lowest percent diseased area of fruit was 25.26 % and 46.84 % in BARI aam-1 and BARI aam-3 respectively by the application of Admire; and 25.56% in BARI aam-2 by the application of Ripcord 400 EC and Tilt 250 EC. Disease reduction over control (%) ranged from 22-52 % in BARI aam-1, 11.33-52.16% in BARI aam-2 and 20.13-41.25% in BARI aam-3, where the highest disease reduction (52.16 % BARI aam-2 respectively) was found by the application of Ripcord 400 EC and Tilt 250 EC and 52.00% and 41.25 % in BARI aam-1 and BARI aam-3 respectively) the application of Admire. All pesticides showed better performance over control. Out of five treatments, Admire and Ripcord 400 EC with Tilt 250 EC were effective against the disease.
