| dc.description | Wheat (Zriticum aestivum L.) is the most important cereal crop providing
nearly 20 % of the total food requirement. In recent years, attention has been given to
wheat cultivation. It covered almost 13, 79,900 acres of land with a_ total production
of 9, 75,985 metric tons in 2004 - 05 (BBS, 2005). Wheat acreage in the country has
gradually been increasing. There is a real hope and bright possibility of solving the
national food crisis by increasing the wheat production in Bangladesh .Wheat has
become the second staple food crop next to rice in Bangladesh and has been reported
to be vulnerable to attack of many diseases (Anonymous, 1978; Rangaswami, 1979).
Occasionally, wheat disease have become so devastating as to have forced farmer in
some parts of the world to change their cropping pattem. The climate and agroecological conditions of Bangladesh favour the rapid development and growth of
various plant pathogens. The average yield of wheat is only 1992 kg/ha. which is too
low as compared to the developing countries of the world like Egypt, Zambia, U.K.,
Denmark, Ireland and Netherlands producing 6150, 6452, 7778, 7862, 9110 kg/ha.,
respectively (FAO, 2003). Thus the yield of wheat in the country is relatively low.
Among the various factors responsible for low yield of wheat, diseases and low
quality seed play a vital role. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | In-vitro experiment were conducted with plant extracts (Hydrocotyl
asiatica, Syzygium cuminii, Zingiber officinale, Ipomoea __fistulosa,
Allamanda cathertica, Azadirachta indica, Allium sativum, Polygonum
hydropiper, Aegle marmelos, Tagetes erecta) and bio-control agent
(Trichoderma harzianum) on seed borne pathogen (Bipolari sorokiniana,
Alternaria tenuis, Curvularia sp. Fusarium sp.) of wheat (var. kanchan) to
evaluate their effect on seed health, germination, seedling vigour, shoot and
root length of wheat seedling Neem-leaf extract (Azadirachta indica)
showed superior performance among the treatments in increasing seed
germination, shoot and root length, vigour index as well as in reduction the
seed borne pathogen causing less disease incidence as evident with a
promising seed treating agent. | en_US |
