| dc.description | Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the main cereal food crops in the world.
About two third of the world population consumes wheat as a staple food
(Majumder, 1991). It is considered as the second most important cereals in
Bangladesh. In recent years, attention has been given to wheat cultivation. Wheat
acreage in the country has gradually been increasing. There is a real hope and
possibility of solving the national food crisis by increasing the wheat production in
Bangladesh. Wheat provides nearly 20% of the world total food requirement and
wheat is nutritionally more rich food than rice with protein content of 12% as against
8% in rice. Though the crop has been introduced in 1967 in the country (East
Pakistan), but its cultivation was popularly increased after 1975. At present 901490
metric tons of wheat are produced in 929766 acre of land in Bangladesh (Anon.
2010). In spite of its importance, the average yield of the crop in our country is low
(2.17 t/ha) in comparison to the other countries. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The experiment was carried out in the Department of Plant Pathology at Hajee
Mohammed Danesh Science and Technology University, Dinajpur during 2012-2013
cropping season to determine the effect of plant extract and fungicide to control the
seed borne pathogen and improve seedling growth of wheat. Seed treatment was
done with allamonda leaf extract, garlic extract, provex and secure. The treated seeds
were analyzed for seed health and seed germination after storage period of 0, 15, 30,
45 and 60 days. Seed borne fungi detected from seed samples was treated with plant
extract and fungicides. These were Bipolaris sorokiniana. Alternaria alternata,
Fusarium sp. and Aspergillus sp. Seed treatment with plant extract and fungicide
inhibited all the fungal growth on seed and increased the seed germination and
normal seedlings compared to control treatment. But maximum inhibition of fungal
growth as well as increased seed germination and normal seedlings were found when
seeds were treated with fungicide provex followed by allamonda leaf extract. The
minimum presence of seed borne pathogen was recorded when provex treated seeds
were analyzed immediately after treatment. On the other hand, maximum seed borne
pathogens were recorded when untreated seeds were analyzed at 60 days after
treatment. Provex treated seed at first date showed the highest percentage of normal
seedlings and the lowest percentage of abnormal seedlings. On the contrary, non
treated seed at 60 days showed the highest percentage of abnormal and the lowest
percentage of normal seedlings. Plant growth was significantly enhanced by provex
compared to other treatments. Height of shoot and root as well as weight of shoot
and root was found maximum when provex treated seeds were analyzed at first date
and was found minimum when analyzed at 60 days after treatment. | en_US |
