Install a Solar Pump Worth ₹2.5 Lakh for Just ₹23,900 – Here’s How the Government is Helping Farmers

10/02/2025Posted on
PM Kusum Yojana

Farmers in Uttar Pradesh are benefiting from the Kusum Scheme launched by the state government to address electricity shortages. This scheme allows farmers to install solar pumps at a substantial subsidy, reducing irrigation costs significantly while improving crop production through proper irrigation.

Under the scheme, farmers can get solar pumps installed for just ₹23,900. Without the subsidy, this installation would cost up to ₹2.5 lakh—a sum that is often unaffordable for many farmers. To address this, the government provides solar pumps at minimal costs under the scheme.

For Scheduled Tribe farmers, the subsidy extends to 100%, allowing them to install solar pumps entirely free of cost. In addition to supporting irrigation, farmers can generate income by selling excess energy produced by the solar plant.

Farmers interested in availing of this scheme can apply online via the official website of the Uttar Pradesh government. For more details, they can also visit their nearest electricity department office or check the PM Kusum portal for Uttar Pradesh.

Symptoms and control of blossom end rot in watermelon crop

10/02/2025Posted on
Symptoms and control of blossom end rot in watermelon crop

Blossom end rot is caused due to calcium deficiency in the plant. When these symptoms appear, it may be that there is not enough calcium in the soil or calcium is present but the plant roots can not absorb it. In this disease, a dark brown or black spot appears at the end of the fruit, which later dries up or becomes leathery. It is light green in the initial stage but turns brown and black as the fruit matures.

Control: To control it, spray Chelated Calcium @ 1 – 2 g per litre of water, or YaraLiva Calcinate (Calcium Nitrate) @ 0.5 – 1.25 kg per acre per day through a drip for one week. Along with this, maintain sufficient moisture in the field continuously.

The yield will not be harmed by these precautions at the time of potato digging

The yield will not be harmed by these precautions at the time of potato digging

Potato digging is mostly done from February to the second week of March. Proper management of digging is very important in potato crops so that there is minimum damage to potato tubers. Potato tubers are often scratched on the top during digging, which increases the chances of spoilage during storage.

Precautions:

  • Digging of potatoes should be done after 80 to 90 days of sowing when the crop becomes mature, and the leaves of the plants turn yellow.

  • Digging should be done before the temperature reaches about 30 degrees centigrade.

  • While digging, the weather must be dry.

  • Irrigation should be stopped 2 weeks before digging.

  • After digging, potato tubers should be kept in the open air for a few days, so that the skins of the tubers will harden.

  • If some tubers have been cut while digging, then the cut tubers should be removed during sorting.

  • Do not dry potato tubers in the sun, if the tubers are dried in the sun then their storage capacity will be affected.

Benefits and types of plastic mulching

08/02/2025Posted on
Benefits and types of plastic mulching

Plastic mulching is the process of systematically covering the soil around the plants with a plastic film.

Benefits of plastic mulching:

  • Due to plastic mulching, the moisture in the soil remains for a long time and due to this water is also saved.

  • Mulching also helps in controlling the temperature of the soil.

  • There is less chance of weed growth in the crop and good root growth.

  • It also helps in protecting crops from frost.

  • This does not cause soil erosion, as well as it helps in keeping the soil friable and soft.

  • There is an increase in production, as well as an improvement in the quality of the product.

Types of plastic mulching:

  • Black Mulching: This mulching is mostly used for weed control in horticulture crops. Due to its black colour, sunlight does not enter the soil, due to which photosynthesis of weeds does not take place and their growth stops under the mulch.

  • Blue Mulching: Blue-colored mulch works to control the outbreak of aphids and thrips in crops. More fruits are obtained in cucurbitaceous crops.

  • Transparent Mulching: This type of mulching is mostly used for the solar treatment of soil. Also, it can be used for the cultivation of vegetables in the winter season.

The thickness of Plastic Mulching: Decide the thickness of the mulch film according to the type and age of the crop. The thickness of the mulch should complete the life cycle of the crop. Mulch thickness should be 25 microns in most vegetable crops and 100 microns in fruit crops.

Small, brown, water-soaked, circular spots with yellow circles appear on the leaves of affected plants. Older leaves start falling off and small, water-soaked spots appear on green fruits. The centre of these spots becomes irregular, light brown and with a scaly surface.

Control: To control this disease, spray Streptocycline (Streptomycin Sulphate 90% + Tetracycline Hydrochloride 10% SP) @ 20-24 gm per acre mixed with 150-200 litres of water as soon as the outbreak of the disease is observed.
