Lesions usually girdle leaves, causing them to fall over. Lesions may also start at the tips of older leaves.

For managing the disease effectively, healthy seed should be used. Crop rotation of 2-3 years with non related crops should be followed. Spay fungicides, Mancozeb 75% WP @ 45 gm/15 litre of water or Hexaconazole 5% SC @ 20 ml/15 litre of water or Propiconazole 25% EC @ 15 ml/ 15 litre of water at 10-15 days intervals from 30 days after transplanting or as soon as disease appears.

Thrips management in Onion

29/10/2017Posted on

Thrips (Thrips tabaci) is most injurious insect pests of onion. These are common all over the country where onion crop is grown. Onions infected with thrips develop spotted appearance on leaves which turn pale-white blotches due to drainage of sap. Sometimes 50-60% losses in bulb crop are observed due to thrips attack. Seed production including viability of seeds are hampered due to attack of thrips. The insect is very minute and yellow to dark brown in colour. The life-cycle of insect is 8-10 days. It is found in the axil of green leaves where it sucks juice of early-emerging leaves. The adults hibernate in soil, on grass and other plants in onion fields. The thrips also over-winter in bulbs and act as source of infestation in the following year. They multiply in a large number during March-April on seed and bulb onions in Northern parts of India. The infested plants show stunted growth with twisted leaves. If the infestation comes in early stage of growth, bulb formation stops completely and plants die slowly. Bulbs in store are also attacked by thrips. Profenofos 50%EC @ 45 Ml/pump or Emamectin Benzoate @ 15 Gm/pump or Spinosad @ 10 Ml/Pump should be sprayed along with silicon base solvent to control the insect. Soil application of Fipronil 0.03% GR @ 5 Kg /Acre or Phorate or Carbofuran granules @ 4 kg /Acre is also recommended.

Irrigation management in Onion

23/10/2017Posted on

Irrigation requirement of onion depends upon the season, soil type, method of irrigation and age of the crop. In general, onion needs irrigation at the time of transplanting, three days after transplanting and subsequently at 7-10 days interval depending upon the soil moisture. In general, Kharif crop needs 5-8 irrigations, the late Kharif crop requires 10-12 and Rabi crop needs 12-15 irrigations. Onion being a shallow rooted crop, needs frequent light irrigation to maintain optimum soil moisture for proper growth and bulb development. Irrigation needs to be stopped when the crop attains maturity (10-15 days before harvest) and the top starts falling which helps in reducing the rotting during storage.
