How to increase the brightness of potatoes

It is most important to have shiny, clean, attractive skin of the potato, due to which the market price and demand are also high, potato skin infections like black scurf, powdery and common scab make the potato less attractive and storage capacity is also affected. Therefore, the right amount of nutrients can reduce the skin disorder of potatoes. And can increase the glow of the skin.

  • Calcium: Calcium plays an important role in improving the colour of potato skin. Calcium strengthens the outer layer of the tuber, making it resistant to many diseases including black scurf, silver scurf, powdery scab or common scab.

  • Sulphur: Sulphur helps in reducing the levels of common and powdery scabs. This problem can also be caused by the decrease in the pH of the soil. To prevent this, sulfur is used.

  • Boron: Boron improves the effectiveness of calcium. Boron helps to stabilize calcium in the cell wall and also increases the absorption of calcium.

  • Zinc: Zinc helps in reducing the infection of disease. Zinc is commonly used to protect against powdery scabs. The use of zinc is only effective for powdery scabs in soil applications.

  • Magnesium and manganese: Magnesium and manganese can reduce levels of common scabs.

  • Dose: To increase the shiny skin and tuber size of the potato, apply Calbor 5 kg + Zinc Sulphate 5 kg + Magnesium Sulphate 5 kg + Potash 20 kg, mix all these together evenly on a one-acre area and do light irrigation.

Necessary spraying for pod borer caterpillar and more flowers in gram crop!

Necessary spraying for pod borer caterpillar and more flowers in gram crop

Pod borer: The young larvae of this pest eat all the parts except the veins of the leaves and also eat the flowers and pods in the stage of flowers and pods. In green pods, it empties the pods by making circular holes and eats the seeds. Due to this, there is a huge reduction in production.

Control measures: For higher flowering and pod borer control in chickpea crops, Spray Cosko (Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC) @ 50 ml or Celquin (Quinalphos 25% EC) @ 400 ml + Bave Curb (Bavaria bassiana 5% WP) @ 250 gm + Nutriful Maxx (Fulvic Acid Extract – 20% + Calcium, Magnesium & Potassium micronutrient content 5% + Amino Acids) @ 250 ml + Silico Maxx Gold @ 50 ml @ 150 to 200 litres of water per acre.

Nutriful Maxx:

  • It increases flowering and enhances the colour and quality of fruits.

  • Increases resistance of plants against drought, frost etc.

  • Also enhances the transport of nutrients from the root.

Know how to save the crop from frost!

Know how to save the crop from frost!

  • The problem of frost usually occurs from December to mid-February.

  • Frost occurs when the temperature of the atmosphere reaches zero degrees centigrade while being less than 8 degrees centigrade.

  • Due to frost, the water present in the cell of the crop gets converted into ice, due to which the plant cells burst.

  • Due to this, the leaves get scorched and the process of photosynthesis gets affected, due to which the crop does not grow.

  • Due to the outbreak of frost in the stage of flower pod and ear, the flowers and fruits fall and the colour of the grain becomes black. Due to this, the yield is badly affected.

  • If this condition of frost persists for a long time, the plants may even die.

Measures to protect crops from frost

  • Irrigation of the fields is necessary – Irrigate the crop lightly in the morning. Irrigation increases the temperature by 0.5 – 2 degrees Celsius.

  • Wind barriers: – These barriers reduce the intensity of cold waves and protect the crops from damage. For this, such crops should be sown around the field, by which the wind can be stopped to some extent like maize should be sown in the gram field.

  • Smoke near the farm – In the evening, smoke by burning dry grass, straw and cow dung cakes. Although this process is not suitable from an environmental point of view, it also helps in preventing frost.

  • If possible, sprinkle water on the leaves of the crop.

  • Cover the plant:- Maximum loss of temperature occurs in the nursery. It is advisable to cover the plants in the nursery with a plastic sheet at night. By doing this, the temperature inside the plastic increases by 2-3 degrees Celsius.

Biological protection measures

  • When the frost is expected, take a spray of Monas–Curb (Pseudomonas fluorescens 1.0 % WP) @ 500 gm @ 200 litres of water per acre.

Chemical protection measures

  • Spray Wokovit (Sulphur 80% WDG) @ 35 gm per 15 litres of water over the crops. Due to this, the temperature can increase by two to two and a half degree centigrade.

Expensive farming machines are available at half the price

New-age agricultural machines help farmers in making farming easier. However, these machines are very expensive and hence ordinary farmers are not able to buy them. But to help these farmers, various schemes run by the government play an important role. Ordinary farmers should also use these expensive equipment and make their farming easier. For this purpose, an agricultural equipment grant scheme is running in many states. In many states of the country like Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh, farmers are getting the benefit of this scheme.

If we talk about Haryana, where farmers are being given subsidies of up to 50% on 32 types of farming machines. Farmers of Haryana can apply to avail the benefit of this subsidy. The last date for application in this scheme is 15 January 2024, so please complete the application process before this date.

Like Haryana, farmers of other states can also apply for subsidy under this scheme by visiting the official website of the agriculture department of their state.

Measures to prevent fungal diseases in wheat crops

05/01/2024Posted on
Measures to prevent fungal diseases in wheat crops

At this stage in the wheat crop, there is a problem of fungal diseases like rust, which are of 3 types –

Brown Rust / Leaf Rust: Its one of the three major types of rust infections in wheat. Leaf rust attacks only the foliage. The fruiting bodies of the fungus are reddish-orange to reddish-brown on the surface of the leaves, covering almost the entire upper leaf surface. These rusts are smaller, circular or slightly elliptical as compared to stem rust and the fruiting bodies are not joined together.

Stripe rust / yellow rust: It appears early in the season because it prefers cool, moist weather. Yellow rust usually causes streaks on the leaves with yellow to orange-yellow fungal fruiting bodies, which also affect the leaf sheaths, necks, and ear sheaths.

Stem rust / black rust: The spots of stem rust are more elongated than those of yellow and brown rust. On both sides of the leaves, on the stems and spikes, there are spreading bodies of dark reddish brown mould. Which are usually separate and scattered rough. It is also called black rust. Because its spores turn black later.

Control measures: To control all these types of rust, apply Zerox (Propiconazole 25% EC) @ 200 gm or Godiwa Super (Azoxystrobin 18.2% + Difenoconazole 11.4% SC) @ 200 ml @ 150 to 200 litres of water per acre.

Free irrigation and earning from home, solar pump at less than half the price

04/01/2024Posted on
Get solar pumps installed in the fields at 75 percent subsidy

A large area of the country faces water shortage due to less rainfall. Due to this, farmers in these areas face huge problems in farming. Here farmers have to depend on groundwater for irrigation of crops. Extraction of groundwater requires expensive irrigation equipment, which not every farmer can buy. Diesel is used in these equipment, the rising prices of which create obstacles for farmers in using it. Because of these problems of farmers, the central and state governments are running many types of irrigation-related schemes. With the help of these schemes, farmers are given financial assistance. “Pradhanmantri Kusum Yojana” is one such important scheme. Let us know about this scheme in detail.

The objective of Pradhan Mantri Kusum Yojana is to promote solar pumps among the farmers and for this, the government gives subsidies on solar pumps through the fund of this scheme. With its help, farmers irrigate their fields using solar energy.

It is noteworthy that Pradhan Mantri Kusum Yojana was started by the Ministry of Energy in 2019. Under this, the central government and the state government give subsidy of 30-30%. This means that farmers get a total subsidy of up to 60%. In some states, even a 90% subsidy is given to farmers through this scheme.
