24/07/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Among the main food crops in the world, maize is the third main crop after wheat and paddy.
The main reason for it is its productivity – its production capacity is 25-100 percent more than wheat and paddy. 15-30 June in Kharif season is the most suitable time for sowing.
For maximum benefits, soil testing is necessary. Before sowing, well decomposed cow dung or FYM should be mixed at the rate of 4-6 tonnes per acre of land.
Sufficient quantities of fertilizer should be used at the appropriate time to achieve maximum yield by hybrid and local varieties of maize.
In this crop, nutritional management should be done 40-50 days after sowing, similar to the way done at the time of sowing.
For this, the following products are used, urea @ 35 kg / acre + micronutrient @ 8 kg / acre as soil treatment and for spray @ 00:52:34 @ 1 kg / acre.

Aphid and Jassid Attack in Cotton Crop
