Requirement of Irrigations in Pea:-

For proper germination, pre sowing irrigation is must if the soils are dry.

Suitable Climate and soil for Cabbage Cultivation

24/09/2018 Monday January 18th, 2021

Suitable Climate and soil for Cabbage Cultivation:-

In India, cabbage is grown in large areas having a cool and moist climate.
A temperature range of 15- 21°C is considered as optimum for growth and head formation of the crop.
Cultivation of cabbage is done mainly on sandy to heavy soils rich in organic matter.
Early crops prefer light soil while late crops thrive better on heavier soils due to retention of moisture.
On heavy soils, plants grow more slowly and the keeping quality is improved.
A pH range of 6.0-6.5 is considered as optimum for growing cabbage.
Plants growing in saline soils are prone to diseases.

Sowing time, Planting and Seed Rate of Garlic

22/09/2018

Sowing time, Planting and Seed Rate of Garlic:-

Cloves are sown in september-November in central India.
Selection of cloves is important for garlic planting.
Individual cloves from seed garlic bulbs should be separated but not long before planting.
Twist off the outer skins and take the cloves apart without breaking the basal plate of the cloves, as that makes them unusable for planting.
With hardneck garlic, the remainder of the stem acts as a handy lever for separating the cloves.
Big cloves (>1.5g) should be selected for planting. Small, diseased and damaged cloves should be rejected.
Seed rate for garlic is 400-500 kg/ha.
Selected cloves should be planted vertically 2 cm below soil surface with plant to plant spacing of 10 cm and row to row spacing of 15 cm.

Control of Jassids in Brinjal

14/09/2018

Control of Jassids in Brinjal:-

Nymphs and adults suck the sap from the lower surface of the leaves.
The infected leaf curl upward along the margins, which may turn yellowish and show, burnt up patches.
They also transmit mycoplasma disease like little leaf and virus disease like mosaic.
Fruit setting is adversely affected by the infestation.

Control:-

Jassids are controlled by spraying Acetamiprid 20 % WP @ 80 Gm/acre or Imidacloprid 17.8% @ 80 Ml/Acre 20 days after transplanting.

12/09/2018

Control of Late Blight in Tomato:-

Disease occurs on the foliage at any stage of growth.
Brown to purple black lesions occurs in the leaflets, petioles, fruit and stem.
At later stage, plants die.
The disease appears on low temperature and high humidity.

Control :-

Fungicidal sprays on the appearance of initial symptoms.
Spraying should be done with Mancozeb 75% WP @ 400 Gm/ Acre or Propineb 70% WP 400 Gm/Acre or Chlorothalonil 75% WP @ 300 Gm/Acre.
Spraying should be repeated at 10-12 days interval.
