Organic farming will be promoted through Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana

14/07/2020

Central and state governments are promoting organic farming. Under this, the Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana has been started. Under this scheme, the assistance of 50 thousand rupees per hectare of land is being given for three years. In this help, the farmer can buy organic manure, organic pesticides, and vermicompost, etc. Farmers will get Rs 31000 for this purchase, which will be 61 percent of the total cost.

The Government of India is going to promote organic farming by doubling the allocation for this scheme. The Ministry of Agriculture has sent a proposal to the government to increase the amount allocated for this area to double. If this happens, in the coming years, an allocation of up to Rs 1300 crore will be made annually.

Alternaria leaf spot disease in soybean crop

14/07/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Alternaria leaf spot disease sometimes appears in the soybean crop just after the sowing.
When the plant grows, it appears on the leaves and pods of the soybean crop.
In this disease, round brown spots appear on the leaves and these spots grow slowly and finally the affected leaves dry up and fall.
For the prevention of this disease, use Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP@ 300 gram / acre or Kitazin @ 300 gram / acre or Trichoderma viride @ 500 gram / acre.

Spraying Management in Soybean Crop after 25-30 days

13/07/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Spray management in Soybean Crop in 20-25 days

In the soybean crop, 25-30 days after sowing, it is very important to manage insects, diseases, and nutrition.
To avoid the fungal problem (Alternaria leaf spots, bacterial leaf spot) of soybean crop after sowing spray Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP @ 300gm/acre or Trichoderma viridi @ 500 gm/acre.
Insects such as stem borer and leaf borer occur in the soybean crops. To control these pests, spray lambda-cyhalothrin 4.9% CS @ 200 ml / acre or profenophos 50% SC @ 500 ml/acre.
For good growth and development of soybean crop, spraying सीवीड at the rate of 400 ml/acre or amino acid @ 300 ml/acre or gibralic acid @ 300 ml/acre.

Use Weedicide in Soybean Crop between 20th to 50th day of sowing

13/07/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Soybean crop is one of the main crops of the kharif season.
Due to continuous rains, it is necessary to control the weeds in the soybean crop after sowing.
In soybean crop, weeds with wide leaf and narrow leaf grow in large quantities after sowing.
Control of all these types of weeds should be done between the 20th and the 50th day of sowing.
following products can be used to control these weeds.
Propaquizafop 10% EC @ 400 ml/acre This is a selective weed controller used for wide leaf weeds.
Quizalofop Ethyl 5% EC @ 400 ml/acre is a selective weed controller used for sakiri leaf weeds.

Seaweed Amino Acids Utility for Crops

12/07/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

The use of amino acids and seaweed can accelerate seed germination.
It has a special effect on the root development of the crop,
Depending on the adequate supply of nutrients, seaweed and amino acids grow in plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, etc.
high production and crop improvement
Helps in the conservation of natural elements present in the soil.
Helps in controlling the ratio of carbon and nitrogen by microorganisms
By balancing the process of nutrient decomposition.
To sustainably manage agricultural land.

Sowing of more crop than last year due to good monsoon rains

12/07/2020 Sunday July 12th, 2020

Monsoon effect: 104% increase in cotton sowing with pulses, oilseed crops

This year, the monsoon has knocked on the scheduled time and most of the states have also received good rains. Due to this good monsoon, at the present time, the sowing of various crops has reached 87 percent, which is much higher than last year.

If we talk about Central India, then there has been more than normal monsoon rainfall due to which farmers have sown soybean crops on a large scale. Due to so much sowing of soybean, the area under cultivation has increased five times compared to last year. Apart from this, India is also the most important exporter of rice and cotton, and both of them have been sown well for its good crop.

Importance of Organic Carbon in Soil

12/07/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Soil organic/organic carbon (SOC) is the most important component in maintaining soil quality,
It plays its role in improving the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil.
Higher soil organic carbon improves the physical structure of the soil more and more.
It improves soil aeration (oxygen in the soil) and water drainage and retention, and reduces soil erosion and nutrient depletion.
Supporters in the development of microorganisms like earthworms and beneficial fungi and bacteria.
Carbon is the main component of soil organic matter and it helps in providing soil with its water holding capacity, its structure and its fertility.

Use of humic acid in organic farming

11/07/2020 Sunday July 12th, 2020

Humic acid is a mineral produced from the mine. In general language, can be called soil conditioner. Which increases the fertility of barren land. Improves soil structure and gives it a new lease of life.
Its most important function is to make the soil brittle so that the roots can grow more.
This accelerates the action of light synthesis, which leads to greenness in the plant and growth of branches.
Develops tertiary roots of plants so that the absorption of nutrients from the soil can be increased.
Increases the fertility of the soil by increasing the metabolic activities of plants.
It is helpful in increasing the yield of the crop by increasing the fruits and flowers in the plants.
Increases seed germination capacity and protect plants from adverse environments.

PM Modi praised Madhya Pradesh, said ‘After wheat, energy will also create record’

11/07/2020 Tuesday July 14th, 2020

On Friday, July 10, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Asia’s largest solar plant. This plant has been constructed in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh. PM started the plant through a video conference. During this, PM Modi praised the people and farmers of Madhya Pradesh.

The PM said in his address that “this plant will benefit the poor, middle-class people, farmers, and tribals of Madhya Pradesh”. PM Modi added that “During the Corona crisis, farmers of Madhya Pradesh produced a record-breaking crop and the government bought it; soon the farmers of Madhya Pradesh will also break the record of generating electricity.”

Significantly, the farmers of Madhya Pradesh have set a record by beating all other states of the country in wheat procurement. This is what the PM mentioned in his speech. Along with this, he said that “the goods related to the solar plant will be made in India. Under Atma Nirbhar Bharat, their dependence on imports will be reduced and its production will be promoted here.”

Importance of Mycorrhiza in crops

11/07/2020

A mutual symbiotic relationship between the roots of any fungus and plants is called myco rider.
In this type of relationship, the fungus becomes dependent on the root of the plants and becomes an important component of soil-life.
Mycorrhiza plays an important role in a good crop. There is a connection between mycorrhiza fungi and plant roots.
Mycorrhiza helps in capturing various types of plant nutrients like phosphorus, nitrogen, and small nutrients from the soil.
Play an important role in increasing crop yield. Mycorrhiza accelerates the processes through plants. It helps in keeping the plants green under drought-like conditions.
The function of mycorrhiza is to increase the availability of phosphorus by 60–80%.
The use of mycorrhiza leads to better growth of roots.
Mycorrhiza causes better absorption of nutrients by the roots in the plants and helps in maintaining moisture around the plants.
Mycorrhiza protects crops from soil-borne pathogens.
