Sowing time, Planting and Seed Rate of Garlic

03/10/2019Posted on
  • Cloves are sown in September-November in central India.
  • The selection of cloves is important for garlic planting.
  • Individual cloves from seed garlic bulbs should be separated but not long before planting.
  • Twist off the outer skins and take the cloves apart without breaking the basal plate of the cloves, as that makes them unusable for planting.
  • With hardneck garlic, the remainder of the stem acts as a handy lever for separating the cloves.
  • Big cloves (>1.5g) should be selected for planting. Small, diseased and damaged cloves should be rejected.
  • The seed rate for garlic is 160-200 kg/acre.
  • Selected cloves should be planted vertically 2 cm below the soil surface with the plant to plant spacing of 10 cm and row to row spacing of 15 cm.

Damping off disease in Onion

30/09/2019Posted on
  • High soil moisture and moderate temperature along with high humidity, especially in the rainy season led to the development of the disease.  
  • Pre-emergence damping off results in seed and seedling rot before these emerge out of the soil.  
  • Post-emergence damping-off results in pathogen attack the collar region of seedlings on the surface of the soil.  
  • The collar portion rots and ultimately the seedling collapse and die. 
  • Healthy seeds should be selected for sowing.
  • Spray of Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% or Thiaphanate methyl 70% WP @ 50 gm/Pump.

symptoms of Bacterial leaf spot in chilli

27/09/2019Posted on
  • The leaves exhibit small, circular or irregular, dark brown or black greasy spots. As the spots enlarge in size, the center becomes lighter surrounded by a dark band of tissue.
  • The spots coalesce to form irregular lesions. Severely affected leaves become chlorotic and fall off. Petioles and stems are also affected.
  • Stem infection leads to the formation of cankerous growth and wilting of branches. On the fruits, round, raised water-soaked spots with a pale yellow border are produced.
  • The spots turn brown developing a depression in the center wherein shiny droplets of bacterial ooze may be observed.
