There may be damage due to frost in gram crop, control in this way

16/12/2023Posted on
There may be damage due to frost in gram crop, control in this way

  • The long nights of winter are cold and sometimes the temperature can even drop to freezing point or below it. In such a situation the water vapour, without converting into liquid directly, gets converted into minute ice particles, which is known as frost and it can be very harmful to flora and crops.              

  • Due to the effect of frost, the leaves and flowers of the gram crop appear scorched and later fall. Even half-ripe fruits shrink. They wrinkle, the bud falls and the formation of grain is hindered.

  • To protect your crop from frost, you create smoke around your field, so that the temperature will be balanced and the crop can be saved from frost damage.

  • On the day when there is a possibility of frost, spray 0.1% solution of sulfur on the crop.

  • Keep in mind that the spray of solution covers plants well. The effect of the spray lasts for two weeks. If there is a possibility of cold waves and frost even after this period, a spray of sulfur should be repeated at an interval of 15 to 20 days.

  • As a biological treatment, spray Pseudomonas Fluorescens @ 500 gm/acre.

Identify the pod borer outbreak in gram crop and prevent it soon

15/12/2023Posted on
Identify the pod borer outbreak in gram crop and prevent it soon

Identification of the pest-

  • Eggs – are spherical in shape and creamy white laid singly.  

  • Pupa – brown in colour, occurs in soil, leaf, pod and crop debris

  • Adult – light pale brownish-yellow stout moth. Forewing grey to pale brown with V-shaped speck.

  • the outer wings are pale smoky white with a broad blackish outer margin.

Symptoms of damage

  • The larva starts eating the green part (chlorophyll) present in the leaf, so that, in the end, only the veins of the leaf are visible, after which these larvae start eating the flowers and green pods. The larva enters the pod by piercing it and eats all the parts present inside the pod and making it hollow.

Management:

  • For chemical control, spray Profenofos 40 % + Cypermethrin 4% Ec @ 400ml/acre or Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG @ 100 gm/acre or Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 60ml/acre.

  • Apply 20-25 splints per acre of “T” shape in the field. It is beneficial to put these splints 10 – 20 cm higher than the height of the gram. Friendly insects like birds, myna, heron etc. come and sit on these splints, which eat the pod borer and save the crop from damage.

  • Use pheromone trap Helicoverpa armigera @ 10 per acre.

  • Use Bavaria bassiana 250 gm per acre.

With the sowing of the crop, connect your farm with the My Farm section of Gramophone app and keep on getting the exact advice and solutions related to smart agriculture throughout the crop cycle. Share this article with your friends with the share button below.
