Importance of Microbes in Soil (ZnSB )

05/05/2019Posted on
  1. India’s agricultural land has a deficit of zinc is 50%, which will be up to 63% by 2025.
  2. Zinc is an essential micronutrient for plant growth. But it remains unavailable in the soil which plants cannot use easily.
  3. This bacterium provides an available form of zinc and as well as control of ‘Khera disease’ in paddy, increased crop yield and quality of yield, improve soil health and increases the activity of hormones and also increases the activity of photosynthesis.
  4. Zinc-soluble bacteria produce organic acids in the soil and convert insoluble zinc (zinc sulfide, zinc oxide, and zinc carbonate) into Zn+  (Available form of Zinc) form and maintain soil pH.
  5. zinc soluble bacteria @ 2 kg/acre mix with 50 kg of well-decomposed FYM and broadcast in the field.

Save cauliflower to diseases – May cause serious damage

03/05/2019Posted on
  • Due to the fungal diseases about 4 – 25% crop loss has been reported in production.
  • Cauliflower is one of the important vegetable crops in India.
  • Black rot, Soft rot, Alternaria leaf spot, Downy mildew, and wilt, etc. disease causes serious damage and reduces the quality of cauliflower crop.
  • Management practices is more important to control of disease:-
  • For Black rot & Soft rot :- Spray of Streptocycline @ 20 gm/acre and Copper Oxychloride 50% @ 300 gm/acre.
  • For fungal disease :- Spray of Mancozeb 75% WP @ 400 gm/acre OR Carbendazim 50% @ 300gm/acre OR Tebuconazole 50% + Trifloxystrobin 25% WP @ 120 gm/acre can be used.

How to Take care of insect pests & diseases at bud initiation stage of mungbean

02/05/2019Posted on
    • Pest and disease control is also important if one wants to achieve high production.
    • The loss in the production caused by pest and diseases may reach up to 70% depending upon the severity of the attack.
    • In the summer season, During bud initiation, mungbean may be infested by pod borer, tobacco caterpillar, etc.
    • Mung bean, just like any other legume crop, it is highly susceptible to diseases caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses. On different growing stages of leaves, stems and roots symptoms can be seen like yellowing, blight and root rot.
    • For Pest control Monocrotophos 36% SL @ 300 ml/acre, Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG @ 100 gm/acre (for Gram pod borer) and Flubendiamide 20% WG @ 100gm/acre OR  Indoxacarb 14.5% SC @ 160-200ml/acre (for tobacco caterpillar).
    • For Disease control, use carbendazim 50% WP @ 300 gram/acre (for blight) and Thiophenate Methyle 70% WP @ 250-300 gram/acre.

Importance of Iron in Crop Production

02/05/2019Posted on
  • Iron (Fe) is essential for crop growth and production. Iron is a component of many enzymes associated with energy transfer, nitrogen reduction, and fixation.
  • In high pH, soil iron turns into unavailable form.
  • Young leaves are chlorotic in iron-deficient plants.
  • Pale yellow mottling starts at the base of the leaves and spreads upward along the midrib and outward along the veins.
  • Its deficiency can be corrected by spray @150-200g/acre ferrous sulfate till the chlorotic symptoms do not appear on young leaves.

Kasie bachaein baigan ko fruit borer se

  • The damage to the fruits starts soon after transplanting and continues till harvesting of the fruits.
  • It can reduce yield by as much as 70%.
  • Multiple overlapping generations occur in warm climates.
  • The short pinkish larva of the pest initially bore into the terminal shoots resulting in withering and drying of the shoot.
  • In the later stage, it bores into the young fruits by making holes and feeds inside and lose their market value fruits plugged with excreta.

Management:

  • Install pheromone trap @ 5 /acre .
  • Continuous cropping of brinjal on the same piece of land should be avoided.
  • Fruits showing boring should be picked and destroyed.
  • Spray the crop with Cypermethrin 10% EC @ 300ml/acre or Lambda Cyhalothrin 5% EC @ 200-250 ml/acre at fortnight intervals starting from 35 days after transplanting to control the pest.
  • Best results are obtained when all the affected fruits are removed before spraying.
