Nutritional management for the growth of late Kharif onions

11/10/2025 Wednesday October 1st, 2025

At present, late Kharif onion is about 20 to 25 days after transplanting, at this stage for plant development, apply Urea @ 30 kg + Cosawet (Sulphur 90% wg) @10 kg/acre evenly. and do light irrigation. Also spray Novamaxx 30 ml + 19:19:19 @ 70 gm per 15 liters of water.

Urea – With its use, there is no problem of yellowing and drying of leaves. Nitrogen accelerates the process of photosynthesis.

Cosawet – Helps to reduce soil pH in saline and alkaline soils. Helps in improving the absorption of nutrients like N, P, K and micronutrients.

Novamaxx – Novamaxx helps in plant growth as well as improves photosynthesis and metabolism of plants. And keeps the plant stress free.

19:19:19 – Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are found in it, which increases vegetative growth in this stage of the crop, as well as makes the crop healthy.

Why seed treatment is necessary

09/10/2025 Wednesday October 1st, 2025

Seed treatment is very important for agriculture, which prevents seed and soil borne diseases.
70 to 80 percent of the farmers of the crops in the country do not change the seeds and use only the old seeds.
Due to this, the risk of pest and disease is high, As a result the cost increases.
Only seed treatment can increase production by 6 to 10 percent.
Add after the line-The effect of insecticides also increases with seed treatment and the crop becomes safe for 20 to 25 days.

Importance of cow dung in agriculture

08/10/2025 Wednesday October 1st, 2025

FYM improves the physical structure of the soil and increases air circulation in the soil.
Improves soil water level by increasing the water holding capacity of the soil.
The roots of plants grow well, plants uptake more of the nutrients.
Increases the amount of organic matter in the soil and the alkali exchange capacity of the soil.
The number of beneficial bacteria in the soil increases. Due to this, the yield of the crop is very good.
FYM helps in converting complex compounds into simple compounds.
Prevents soil erosion by increasing the cohesion of soil particles.
Nitrogen 0.5%, Phosphorus 0.25% and Potash 0.5% are found in this.

Soil treatment and its benefits with the biological insecticide METARHIZIUM ANISOPLIAE

07/10/2025 Wednesday October 1st, 2025

Metarhizium anisopliae is a very useful biological control.
It is used as an insecticide against about 300 species of white grubs, termites, grasshoppers, planthoppers, aphids, bugs, and beetles, etc.
Take 1 kg of Metarhizium anisopliae/acre and mix it with 50-100 kg of well-decomposed FYM and broadcast it in an open field.
Spores of this fungus germinate on the body of the insect’s insufficient moisture.
This fungus eats the body of the host insect.
It can also be used as spraying in standing crops.
It is very important to have the necessary moisture in the field before its use.

Soil treatment to overcome calcium deficiency in tomato field

05/10/2025 Wednesday October 1st, 2025

To avoid damage to tomato crops due to calcium deficiency, management measures should be taken before sowing.
For this, use well-decomposed cow dung manure in the main field 15 days before planting.
At the time of transplanting use Calcium Nitrate @ 10 kg/ acre.
If the symptoms of deficiency appear spray Calcium EDTA @ 150 gm/acre twice.

Field preparation for garlic cultivation

03/10/2025 Wednesday October 1st, 2025

For garlic cultivation, loamy soil with proper drainage is good. Its cloves do not develop in heavy soil. Do one ploughing with soil turning plough and after that, FYM @ 5 tonne + Speed Kompost @ 4 kg per acre should be sprinkled evenly in the field and 2-3 ploughing is done with the help of harrow. Remove other unwanted crop residues present in the field, if the soil moisture is less, then first irrigate, then prepare the field and lastly make the field level by the leveler.

Nutrient Management

SSP 50 kg + DAP 30 kg + Urea 20 kg + Potash 40 kg + Rhizocare (Trichoderma viride1.0% WP) @ 500 gm + TB 3 (Nitrogen Fixing, Phosphate solubilizing and Potassium mobilizing biofertilizer consortia) @ 3 kg + Taba G (Zinc solubilizing bacteria) @ 4 kg + Maxxroot (Humic Acid + Potassium + Fulvic Acid) @ 500 g + Tri-Coat Maxx (Organic Carbon 3%, a mixture of Humic, Fulvic, Organic Nutrients) @ Apply 4 kg + Bave Curb (Bavaria bassiana) @ 500 gm per acre and apply it evenly in the field.

Fungus-borne disease control in onion nursery

02/10/2025 Wednesday October 1st, 2025

High soil moisture and moderate temperature along with high humidity, especially in the rainy season led to the development of these diseases.
In onion nursery damping-off, root rot, stem rot, yellowing of leaves, and seedling rot can be observed.
These diseases first attack the collar portion and roots of the plant, rotting it and ultimately causing the seedlings to collapse and die.
To avoid it healthy seeds should be selected before sowing.
Spray of CARBENDAZIM 12% + MANCOZEB 63% WP@ 30 gram /pump or THIOPHANATE METHYL 70% W/W @ 60 gm/Pump or MANCOZEB 64%+ METALAXYL 8% WP @60 gram/pump.

Important principles of natural farming

01/10/2025 Wednesday October 1st, 2025

Natural farming is an ancient farming method based on indigenous cows. In which indigenous cow urine and cow dung is used in crop production as an alternative to chemical fertilizers and other products of chemicals, it maintains the natural nature of the land. Chemical pesticides are not used in natural farming. In this type of farming, the elements which are found in nature are used as pesticides in agriculture.

Nutrients are given to the plants in the form of manure through cow dung, cow urine, bacterial manure, crop residue. In natural farming, the crop is protected from harmful microorganisms and pests by the bacteria, friendly insects and organic insecticides available in nature.

(Four principles of natural farming)

No ploughing the fields. That is, neither ploughing in them, nor turning the soil is to be done. The earth does its own plowing naturally through the penetration of plant roots and earthworms and small animals, and micro-organisms.
No chemical fertilizers should be used. In this method only green manure and cow dung manure are used.
Weeding should not be done. Neither by plow nor by the use of herbicides. Weeds play a major role in making the soil fertile and in balancing bio-fraternity . The basic principle is that weeds should be controlled rather than eliminated completely.
Do not depend on chemicals at all. The problems of disease and pest imbalance began to arise in the fields from the time the weak plants started growing due to wrong practices like tillage and use of fertilizers. By not tampering, the balance of nature remains absolutely right.
