    MANAGEMENT OF ROOT KNOT OF BANANA SEEDLINGS WITH BIOAGENT, ORGANIC SOIL AMENDMENT, CHEMICAL AND THEIR COMBINATIONS
    (DEPARTMENT OF PLANT PATHOLOGY, 2006) SADAT, MD.ABU
    A pot experiment was conducted for the management of root knot nematode infected tissue cultured banana seedlings with nernaticides Rugby lOG (@ 7.5 gm / plant) and Furadan 5G (@ 15 gm / plant), a neem product Neembicidin (@ 5 ml / L water), a cyst forming bacterial bio control agent Pasteuria penetrans (250 mg or 10,000 spores / plant), and a organic soil amendment Poultry Refuse (@ 2.5 kg / plant either singly or in different combination. Each pot was filled with 8 kg of soil. Six months after the investigation, it was observed that application of the treatments Neembicidin, Poultry Refuse and combination of Rugby lOG, Furadan 5G combined with Poultry Refuse reduced root knot nematodes population, gall index and improved plant growth of banana. Among the treatments poultry refuse combined with Furadan 5G appeared to be the best. Neembicidin and poultry refuse individually did not cause satisfactory improvement of plant growth.
