Achievement of Research activities

 

Horticulture:

  1. Evaluation of banana germplasm in red laterite region of West Bengal : Result:The cultivars of ABB genomic group (Kanthali and kanchkela) are most suitable for dry region
  2. Studies on the performance of ber cultivars in dry region of West of West Bengal: Result- Among the cultivars of ber tested, Apple Kool cultivar showed better performance irrespective of yield and quality.
  3. Evaluation of aonla cultivars in dry region of west Bengal :Result-The NA-7 cultivars of  aonla  gives better yield performance in dry region.

 

Entomology :

  1. Evaluation of Bio-efficacy &Phytotoxicity of Thiamethoxam0.4% + Bifenthrin 0.8% G against termites in Groundnut.Result-Thiamethoxam 0.4% + Bifenthrin 0.8% G@ 48 + 96 = 144 g a.i./ha(12000 g/ha) gave excellent control of white grubs and termites in Groundnut
  2. Evaluation of bio efficacy and standardization of dose ofBacillus thuringiensis var. Krustaki (Dipel) against the looper of tea. Result-- Bacillus thuringiensis var. Krustaki (Dipel) 1000ml/ha excellent control against the looper of tea
  3. Bio efficacy study of Etoxazole 6% + Abamection 1.5% SC against Red spider mite & other mite species infesting tea atWest Bengal.- Result-Etoxazole 6% + Abamection 1.5% SC  @ (27 +6.75)- (36 +9)g a.i./ha (450 – 600 ml formulation) gave excellent control of the mite pest of tea.
  4. Bio efficacy evaluation of etoxazole 10% SC against red spider mites of tea-. Result-ETOXAZOLE 10% SC @400– 500ml/ha gave satisfactory control of the mite pest of tea
  5. Evaluation of Bioefficacy, phytotoxicity& effect on natural of Spirotetramate 120  Imidacloprid 120 SC (Movento Energy 240SC w/v)   against  Onion Thrips, Result-Spirotetramate120  Imidacloprid 120 SC (Movento Energy 240SC w/v)   @1ml /lit , excellent control of thrips.
  6. Field efficacy of plant products against RugoseSpiraling Whitefly (RSW), Aleurodicusrugioperculatus Martin- an invasive insect infesting Coconut plantation at West Bengal.Result-the RSW population/leaflet remained significantly low (1.89-1.24/ leaflet) at Sukumi plus treated plant compare to control (96/ leaflet).The Sukumi plus @ 0.8 -1ml/lit provided 98.03- 98.71% reduction of RSW upto 21 days.
  7. Fall Army Worm (Spodopterafrugiperda) management options in maize.Result;-  The Conkar super @ 1ml/lit provided 98.76% reduction of FAW.FAW population/plant remained significantly low (0.67/ maize plant) at plant extract treated plot.

 

Plant Pathology :

  1. Evaluation of fungicides against Stemphylium disease of Lentil.Results : Two times foliar spray with Captan 70 % + Hexaconazole 5% WP @ 1 g/litre of water at 15 days interval reduced 63.89% disease severity and increased yield of lentil by 32.86 % with highest net incremental cost-benefit ratio (1:9.8).
  2. Effect of seed treatment with biocontrol agent on soil borne diseases of lentil in late sown condition.Results : Seed treatment with Trichodermaviridae @ 5g/kg of seeds showed low mortality per cent (upto 13.83%) than without seed treatment (upto 30.91%)..
  3. Biological management of Early blight of tomato (Alternariasolani ).Results : Application of Pseudomonas fluorescens 1.75 % WP was effective against early blight of tomato at a dose level of 3 kg/ha as a foliar spray and seed treatment at a dose level of 5 g per kg of seeds.
  4. Biological management of wilt (Fusariumoxysporumf.sp. capsici ) in Chill.Results : Application of Trichodermaviride 1.15% WP was effective against Fusarium wilt of Chilli crop at a dose level of 5 kg/ha as a soil application and seed treatment @ 5 g per kg of seeds.
  5. Fungicidal management of anthracnose and rust diseases of grapes.Results :Picoxystrobin 22.5 2% EC @ 400ml/ha is most effective against Rust and Anthracnose diseases.
  6. Evaluation of native rhizobacteria for abiotic stress and soil borne disease management of lentil and green gram under lateritic zone of West Bengal’.Results : Out of six potent isolates i.e. Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus aerogenese which were most effective in pulse production in Red and Laterite zone against biotic and abiotic stress.
 

Extension activities

 

Farmers activity

  • Development of different fruits orchard is being demonstrative to the farmers.
  • Production of planting materials from different fruits plants are being sold to the farmers
  • Farmers training for capacity building are being organized regularly at newly created farmers training hostel.
  • Developed homestead kitchen garden under TSP in collaboration with AICRP vegetables in different tribal villages.
  • Converted local wild ber available nearby villages into superior variety by top working.
