The experiments were conducted with pointed gourd (BARI Patol 1) at farmers’ field in Jessore and Bogra during 2014 and 2015 to control soil borne and foliar diseases. Two treatments such as (i) cow dung at 2.5 t/ha + full dose of chemical fertilizers+ pesticide spray (control) and (ii) soil application of Tricho-compost @ 2.5 ton per hectare + 80% of chemical fertilizer + foliar application of Tricho-leachate @ 20 ml per liter of water at 15 days interval were used. Bordeaux paste and poison baits trap were used to control gummy stem blight disease and fruit fly, respectively. Tricho-compost and-leachate along with other IPM components reduced pest and diseases of pointed gourd. Only 2.96 -5.00% fruit was infested in Tricho-compost and-leachate applied field, while it was 7.62-10.36% in control field (without Tricho-products) in Jessore. Similarly, fruits infestation was recorded 2.43-2.45% in Tricho-products applied field and 5.03-7.62% in control field at Bogra. Root-knot nematode infestation reduced remarkable due to soil incorporation of Tricho-compost. Disease reduction was 37.49-42.42% in 2014 and 25.36-33.73% in 2015 due application of Tricho-products. While yield increased was 51.78-55.65% in 2014 and 50.73-51.24% in 2015. Benefit Cost Ratio was increased 31.31 -32.16% in 2014 and 19.73-27.73% in 2015 in Tricho-compost and-leachate applied field.
