How to control cyperus grass in a maize crop

  • Motha (Cyprus rotdans) is a perennial plant growing up to 75 cm tall. The stem is erect, triangular and without branches, above the ground. There are 6 to 7 tubers in the root below, they become padded white and later fibrous brown and finally become hard like wood as they get older. The leaves are elongated, often covering each other on the stem.

  • Motha grass is a big problem for the farmers who have been farming for years. Motha emerges as a major factor in reducing the productivity of crops in farmers’ fields. It is a perennial grass and affects almost all the crops but it mainly affects the maize crop.

  • It is very important to control annual weeds like Motha (Cyperus rotundus, Cyperus species). For its control, at 20-25 days after sowing, spray Halosulfuron Methyl 75% WG @ 36 gm/acre.

  • For good and long results, it is very important to have moisture in the field for a long time, so if the moisture is decreasing then light irrigation must be done.

How to protect soybean crop in case of low rainfall

  • Due to the changes in the weather, the soybean crop is getting affected a lot. As everyone knows, soybean is a Kharif crop and it is very necessary to have enough rain for good production of the crop. But at this time, it is raining a lot at some places, and it is not raining at all at some places. In such a situation, the protection of the soybean crop should be done in the following way with less rain.

  • Soybean should not be sown before the onset of monsoon, because if the monsoon does not come completely, then the germination of the soybean crop is greatly affected. Therefore, sow the soybean crop at the right time and only after the arrival of the monsoon.

  • If a farmer has sown, and the amount of moisture in the field is less, then he must do light irrigation of the field, so that there is no problem related to germination or development in the soybean crop.

  • One thing must be kept in mind when the field is being irrigated, then the amount of moisture in the field should not be high, otherwise, the soybean crop may get spoiled due to excess moisture.

  • In case of less rainfall, if fungal and insect infestation is seen in the crop, then spray as required.

Fertilizer management in 40-60 days in flood irrigated chilli crop

  • Chilli crop remains in the second-growth stage after transplanting in 40-60 days. At this time the flowering stage is in the chilli crop. Fertilizer management is necessary for chilli crops for good flowering. Along with plant growth, it is useful to use major and micronutrients in the crop for good flower and fruit development.

  • All these nutrients fulfil all the elements in the chilli crop, as well as develop immunity to fight diseases in the chilli crop at the time of fruit development. The following products should be used in nutrient management.

  • Use urea at the rate of 45 kg/acre + DAP 50 kg/acre + magnesium sulphate 10 kg/acre + micronutrients at the rate of 10 kg/acre + calcium nitrate @ 5 kg/acre.

  • Urea: Urea is the biggest source of nitrogen supply in chilli crops. With its use, there is no problem with yellowing and drying in the leaves. Urea accelerates the process of photosynthesis.

  • DAP (Di Ammonium Phosphate): Diammonium phosphate is used for the supply of phosphorus. Its use improves root growth and helps in plant growth.

  • Magnesium Sulphate: The use of Magnesium Sulphate in Chilli crops increases greenery and accelerates the process of photosynthesis, ultimately resulting in a higher yield and quality of the crop.

  • Micronutrients: Facilitates the process of photosynthesis in chilli plants. Helps to increase crop production and improve soil health.

  • Calcium Nitrate: Helps in increasing the production of crops. Helps neutralize toxic chemicals within plants.

  • Use all the nutrients by mixing them in the soil. Light irrigation must be done after use.
