Detail:

Jackle is the pest of maize (Zea mays) crop especially seen in the night hours. They enter the field and damage the ears of maize plant. The pest becomes serious in the winter season when the ears of maize are about to mature. To prevent this menace, powder of leaves and branches of tanner cassia plant (Cassia auriculata), rubber, leather and hairs are burnt at the four corners and in the center of the field. This emits bad smell, which makes the jackle feel unpleasent and the jackle do not enter the field.

PAS 1:

"The study was conducted in major 20 maize growing districts of Bangladesh for analysis of maize diseases. In this study, twenty farmers per district were interviewed through pretested questionnaires for collecting data on maize diseases and diseased sample were collected for identifying causal organism. Isolations of causal organism were done in the M.S. laboratory, Department of Plant Pathology, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka. The major and minor diseases were determined by observing the prevalence of diseases in the field and opinion expressed by the farmer. Considering the opinion of the farmers and field observations the 21 diseases of maize were identified including seedling blight, stalk rot, root rot, sheath blight, sheath rot, ear rot, bacterial leaf blight, may disleaf blight, Brown spot, tarcicum leaf blight, gray leaf spot, sugarcane mosaic, downy mildew, maize streak, maize stripe, maize dwarf mosaic, anthracnose, cob rot, store grain rot, cob sheath rot and cob sheath blight. The prevalent major diseases were stalk rot, leaf spot, root rot, cob rot, sheath blight, sheath rot, cob sheath blight, cob sheath rot, leaf blight, bacterial leaf blight, maize dwarf mosaic virus, corn stunt, leaf virus, maize streak virus. Seedling and reproductive stages were found more vulnerable to diseases. There was a positive and high degree of relationship among insect pest and disease incidence with weed infestation. The probable sources of maize diseases were seed borne diseases from outside of the country (cross boundary), imported hybrid seeds and infested soil. According to the opinion of the participants, proper training on quarantine diseases, improvement of quarantine laboratory and strengthening of quarantine law could be the best way for improvement of quarantine disease situation of maize." -
