Know how a honey bee works as a good pollinator in cucurbits?

  • Honey bees play an important role in pollination in cucurbits.

  • Honey bees perform more than 80% of all pollination of cultivated crops.

  • The body of honey bees is covered in fine hair, which picks up the pollen grains, after which the pollen particles are transported to the female flowers.

  • Bees do not harm the plant.

  • After the above process, the fertilization is completed and the formation of fruit from flowers starts in the plant.

How to control the problem of Root Rot in ginger crop

  • This is one of the most damaging diseases of ginger. In the early stage of infection, the leaves start yellowing from the edges while the central part of the leaves remains green. Later the yellowing spreads to all the leaves. Infected shoots can be easily pulled out of the soil.

  • The infection starts at the collar region of the pseudostems and progresses upwards as well as downwards. The collar region of the affected pseudostem becomes water-soaked and the rot spreads to the rhizome resulting in soft rot and drying of the pseudostem. 

  • Management: As it is a seed-borne disease, the use of healthy rhizomes before sowing is one of the most important preventive measures.

  • Plan to plant early during April and avoid waterlogging in the field.

  • In case of disease, collect the diseased parts and bury them in the soil somewhere far away or burn them.

  • Do drenching Metalaxyl 4% + Mancozeb 64%WP @ 600 gm or Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP @ 300 gm or Chlorothalonil 75% WP @ 400 gm per acre.
