Excessive moisture can cause the fruit rot to infect the brinjal crop .
Dried spots appear on the fruits of brinjal due to fungal infection, then these spots gradually spread to other fruits.
The outer surface of the infected fruit turns brown on which white fungus develops.
The leaves and other parts of the plant affected by this disease should be destroyed so that the spread of the disease can be contained.
For control of this disease use Mancozeb 75 % WP @ 600 gram/acre or Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP @ 300 gram/acre or Hexaconazole 5% SC@ 400 ml/acre or Streptomycin Sulphate 90%+ Tetracycline Hydrochloride 10% W/W@ 24 gram/acre
After 15-20 days, change the Fungicide as needed.
As a biological treatment use Pseudomonas Fluorescens @ 250 gram/acre or Trichoderma Viride@ 500 gram/acre

What measures taken to increase germination after sowing the crop

15/11/2020 Friday November 13th, 2020

In most areas crop sowing of the Rabi season is almost complete.
The changes in the weather, the crop is not getting germinated properly.
Farmers can increase the germination percentage of the crop by adopting some simple measures.
It is very important to have sufficient moisture for germination in the field at the time of sowing. Plants germinate well in sufficient moisture and new roots begin developing in the plants.
For good growth and development of roots, use the organic product Maxxmyco 2 kg/acre as soil treatment within the 15-20 days of sowing.
Along with this spray seaweed extract @ 300 ml / acre or Humic acid @ 100 gram / acre.
And if any type of fungal diseases are found in the soil, then use appropriate fungicide.
By adopting these measures, the germination of crops can be increased

How to prevent root rot and stem rot disease after sowing in the potato crop

15/11/2020 Monday January 11th, 2021

Root rot disease occurs due to sudden drop and rise in temperature. Fungal disease develops in the soil causing the potato crop to turn black, which deprives the plants of the necessary nutrients and the plants turn yellow and wither away.
Stem rot disease is a soil borne disease, in this disease, the stem of the potato plant turns black and gummy secretion comes out from the middle part of the stem due to which the main nutrients do not reach the upper part of the plant and the plant dies
For prevention of these disease use Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC@ 300 ml/acre or Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP@ 300 gram/acre or Chlorothalonil 75% WP@ 400 gram/acre or Thiophanate Methyl 70% W/W@ 300 gram/acre
As biological treatment use Trichoderma Viride@500 gram/acre or Pseudomonas Fluorescens@ 250 gram/acre
Always sow the crop only after soil treatment and seed treatment.
