Any Special Crop Practices Bitter gourd being a weak climber needs support for its growth. The plants trailed on the support (bower) continue to give yield for 6-7 months. Planting is done at a spacing of 2 x 1.5 m. Furrows are opened at 2 m and irrigation channels are laid out at 5-6 m distance.
Diseases
Name of the Disease Symptoms & Management
Powdery Mildew This disease is favored by high humidity, white powdery residue primarily on the upper leaf surface. On the lower surface of the leaves circular patches or spots appear. Severely attacked leaves become brown and defoliate.
Control: Carbendazim (1ml/litre of water), Karathane (0.5 ml/litre), Tebuconazole 50% + Trifloxystrobin 25% @ 0.5 gm/ltr, Meptyl dinocap @ 0.5 gm/ltr.
Downy Mildew Downy mildew is caused by the fungus Pseudoperonospora cubensis. The disease is seen as yellow angular spots on the upper surface of the leaves, and white powdery growth on the lower surface. It spreads rapidly causing rapid defoliation.
Control: Metalaxyl 4% + Mancozeb 64% (2 gm/L), Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 64% WP @ 2 gm/ltr.
Mosaic This virus disease produces small yellowish patches on the leaves and vein clearing. The virus is transmitted by aphids.
Control: Acephate 20% SP (1g/L).
Pests
Name of the Pest Symptoms & Management
Fruit fly Reddish dark brown flies with hyaline wings lay eggs under the skin of the fruits; Maggots feed on the pulp. Fruits show dark-brown, rotten patches and fall off prematurely.
Control: Clean cultivation, removal and destruction of fallen & infested fruits daily. 30-35 pheromone traps/Ha.
Aphids and White flies Colonies of nymphs and adults attack leaves and tender shoots causing curling and drying.
Control: Acephate 75% SP (1.5 g/L), Dimethoate 1.5ml/L, Imidacloprid 30.5% SC @ 0.25 ml/ltr, Diafenthiuron 50% WP @ 1 gm/ltr, 30-35 blue sticky traps/Ha.
Leaf Cutter Damages leaves by feeding on them.
Control: Chloro (Organophosphate) 20 EC @ 2 ml/ltr.
Fruit Borer Moths lay eggs inside the fruit, larva feeds on the flesh causing fruit damage.
Control: Clean cultivation, removal and destruction of fallen & infested fruits. 30-35 yellow sticky traps/Ha.
