Abstract
Vegetable crops grown in Bangladesh suffer serious losses due to different insects and diseases. Before the introduction of IPM, farmers indiscriminately used different chemical pesticides to control vegetable pests. The IPM IL (CRSP), with active cooperation of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) scientists, has developed different IPM packages for eggplant, cucurbitaceous crops, cabbage/cauliflower, okra and beans. IPM techniques developed include use of resistant varieties for eggplant to control wilting diseases, use of grafting, soil amendment with tricho-compost to combat soil borne diseases, pheromone trapping for the management of cucurbit fruit fly and eggplant fruit and shoot borer, infected shoot clipping in eggplant and release of bio-control agents for control several of pests.
