How to protect your crop from diseases and pests in changing weather

  • This month, there has been a fluctuating temperature due to rain or fog at some places, due to which the risk of diseases and pests increases on the crops, which is harmful to the quality of the produce. In such a situation, if the farmers take care of some things, then they can avoid losses. 

  • Due to the change in weather, the risk of aphids in mustard crops often increases. To control it, spray Imidacloprid 30.5% SC @ 50 ml or Flonicamid 50% WG @ 60 gm/acre.
