ShareAdvantage of rhizobium culture in crops
- The effective strain used in Rhizobium culture increases the healthy nodulation and thereby nitrogen fixation (about 40 to 50 kg. per hectare).
- These bacteria take nitrogen from the air (which plants cannot use) and convert it into a form of nitrogen called ammonium (NH4+), which plants can use.
- About 10 to 15% increase of crop yield can be achieved with the use of this culture.

ShareControl measures of root-knot nematode in watermelon
- The female deposits eggs in or on the roots, or in decaying root debris.
- The juveniles hatch from the eggs and move toward root tips or minor wounds. They feed on root tissue.
- The nematode attacks the roots and produces tiny galls.
- The infested plants show symptoms of withering and wilting of leaves.
- They block the movement of nutrients and water in the plant system and subjected to wilt and finally leads to death.
- Growth of the plant is stunted and fruiting capacity adversely affected.
- Yellowing of the foliage and wilting of the upper leaves occurs.
- Do use deep summer ploughing and soil solarization to control root-knot nematode.
- Neem cake @ 200kg/ha for effective control.
- Use Paecilomyces Lilacinus 1 % wp Mix 2 – 4 kg per acre in 50 kg well rotten Fym/compost/vermicompost/field soil and then incorporate in the field at the time of field preparation, sowing/transplanting. for effective control of Root-knot nematodes infection.
