Symptoms and control of Diamond back moth in cabbage crop

06/02/2024 Monday February 5th, 2024

Cruciferous vegetables are badly damaged by this pest, especially in the late sown crop in the month of February.

Symptoms: The moths of this pest are more active during the night and lay yellow-coloured eggs near the middle vein on the lower surface of the leaves. And the caterpillar of this insect is harmful, which is greenish-yellow in the initial stage and later becomes like the colour of the leaves. And larva initially scratches the lower surface of the leaves due to which white spots are formed on the leaves, and in a later stage, larvae damage the leaves by piercing them.

Control: For monitoring and control of diamondback moths, apply DBM Lure @ 10 traps per acre in the field. And if the infestation is observed, spray Emanova (Emamectin Benzoate 5% SC) @ 60-80 ml per acre or Cover (Chlorantraniliprole 18.50% SC) @ 20 ml per acre mixed with 150 – 200 litres of water.

Government is giving loan up to Rs 20 lakh to open a dairy, know what is the scheme?

05/02/2024

Nowadays, farmers are trying their hand not only in farming but also in the dairy business. It is worth noting that a dairy business can be started with less than two cows or buffaloes. In this way, less capital is required to start this business. After starting small, it can be increased gradually. However, seeing the increasing interest of farmers towards the dairy sector, the government is also promoting it through various schemes. NABARD is also running a “Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme” related to the dairy business for youth and farmers. Through this scheme, farmers get financial help to start a dairy business.

Under the Dairy Entrepreneur Development Scheme (DEDS), loans are available for small units related to dairy. Which helps in making them more productive and providing better markets for them. Under this scheme, the person doing animal husbandry gets 33.33% of the total cost of the project as a grant. Along with this, a loan of up to Rs 20 lakh is also given under this scheme for the purchase of milking machines/milk testers/bulk milk cooling units.

Farmers wishing to do dairy business can contact the bank to get a subsidy and loan for this. After this, they will get a subsidized loan from NABARD. Apart from dairy farming, loans are available for animal husbandry, poultry and animal husbandry under the NABARD scheme. If you want, you can also get information about the scheme on the NABARD website https://nabard.org.

Pseudomonas fluorescens is a friendly bacterium that helps to prevent bacterial and fungal diseases that spread through the soil and air. At the same time, it also produces growth elements in plants, which helps the plant to grow and results in yield. It acts as an intra-body(Systemic) bio-control.

When Pseudomonas fluorescens is sprayed, it produces some secondary metabolites such as gibberellic, Auxins, which help the plant to remain green, and also increase resistance against stress, and disease in the plant.

Symptoms of Micronutrient Deficiency in Onions

03/02/2024 Saturday February 3rd, 2024

In onion crops apart from nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, micronutrients are also essential, and their deficiency results in production and productivity. For example, pungency in onions is due to an element called allyl propyl disulphide. In order to increase this pungency and increase production, sulfur is required in onions.

Sulphur: All leaves young and old appear uniformly yellow, Also, in plants deficient in sulphur, the leaves lose their green color.

Manganese: The veins of the leaves turn yellow and start burning, the color of the leaves fades and they start turning upwards. Crop growth is stunted, onion bulb formation is delayed and the upper part (neck) of the bulb becomes thick.

Copper: Proper amount of copper is necessary for the development of the upper cover of bulb in onion crop. Copper deficiency causes young leaves to turn white at the tip and curl into a spiral, or curl to the right side of the plant, as well as softening of the tuber sheath, becoming pale yellow and thin.

Calcium: Calcium is an important nutrient for crop growth and storage quality. Due to its deficiency, the new leaves start drying suddenly without turning yellow, as well as the leaves become very narrow.
