Bio-fungicide:- Trichoderma; Application and Benefits

21/05/2018Posted on

Trichoderma is a very effective biological mean for plant disease management especially the soil born. It is a free-living fungus which is common in soil and root ecosystems.

Benefits of Trichoderma

Disease Control, Plant Growth Promoter, Biochemical Elicitors of Disease, Transgenic Plants and Bioremediation.

Method of application:

  1. Seed treatment: Mix 6 – 10 g of Trichoderma powder per Kg of seed before sowing.
  2. Nursery treatment: Apply 10 – 25 g of Trichoderma powder per 100 Sq.m. of nursery bed. Application of neem cake and FYM before treatment increases the efficacy.
  3. Cutting and seedling root dip: Mix 10g of Trichoderma powder per liter of water and dip the cuttings and seedlings for 10 minutes before planting.
  4. Soil treatment: Mix 1kg of Trichoderma formulation in 100 kg of farmyard manure and cover it for 7 days with polythene. Sprinkle the heap with water intermittently. Turn the mixture in every 3-4 days interval and then broadcast in the field.
  5. Plant Treatment: Drench the soil near stem region with 10 g Trichoderma powder mixed in a liter of water.

Weed Management Of Maize:-

  • Apply Atrazine @ 0.25 kg/ha as pre-emergence on 3-5 DAS using Backpack/ Knapsack/ Rocker sprayer fitted with a flat fan nozzle using 500 litres of water/ha followed by one hand weeding on 30-35 DAS. (or)
  • Apply Atrazine @ 0.25 kg/ha as pre-emergence on 3-5 DAS followed by 2,4-D @ 1 kg/ha on 20-25 DAS, using Backpack/Knapsack/Rocker sprayer fitted with a flat fan nozzle using 500 litres of water/ha.
  • Apply herbicide when there is sufficient moisture in the soil.
  • Do not disturb the soil after herbicide application.
  • If pulse crop is to be raised as intercrop, do not use Atrazine. Spray Pendimethalin @0.75 kg/ha as pre emergence on 3-5 DAS.

Disease Free Nursery Raising For Marigold:-

  • Healthy seed should be selected for sowing.
  • The seed should be treated with recommended fungicide before sowing.
  • Continuous raising of nursery in the same plot should be avoided.
  • The top soil of nursery should be treated with carbendazim @ 5 gm/square m. are of the soil  and nursery should be drenched with carbendazim @ 2gm/litre of water at fortnightly interval.
  • Application of bio-control agent trichoderma viride in soil @ 1.2 kg/ha is also found effective to control damping-off to considerable extent.

Criteria of Selection of Cotton Variety

30/04/2018Posted on

Criteria of Selection of Cotton Variety:-

  • Resistance:- Most Cotton produced in India has been genetically engineered to have an insect control package.
  • Yield Stability:- Yield stability is the ability of a variety to perform well across various environments.
  • Maturity:- Maturity is an indication of how long it will take from planting until harvest for a variety. cotton variety maturity is often classified as early, medium, late or full season.
  • Fiber Quality:-The price a grower receives can be positively or negatively affected by fiber quality. fiber quality is fiber length, strength and uniformity are heavily influenced by genetics and to a much lesser extent by environment.
  • Available Water:- When selecting a variety, it should be kept in mind that we have the water system and how we should like the kind of irrigated, semi-cultured and rain-based Variety.

Nursery Bed Preparation of Cabbage

30/04/2018Posted on

Nursery Bed Preparation of Cabbage:-

  • The cabbage seeds are sown in a seed bed and 4-6 week old seedlings are transplanting to the field.
  • Raised beds of size 3*0.6 m and 10-15 cm in height are prepared.
  • About 70 cm distances is kept between two beds to carry out intercultural operations such as watering, weeding, etc.
  • The surface of beds should be smooth and well leveled.
  • Well-decomposed FYM @2-3 kg/m is added at the time of bed preparation.
  • Raised beds are necessary to avoid problem of water logging in heavy soils.
  • To avoid mortality of seedlings due to damping off, drenching of the beds with Carbendazim 50% WP (15-20g/10 liters of water ) is effective.

डीएपी के दाम कम होने की संभावना:-

पिछले दिनों में डीएपी उर्वरक के दाम उछाल सब्सिडी नीति न्यूट्रीएंट बेस्ड योजना में फास्फेट पर अनुदान में लगभग 27% की वृद्धि करना पड़ी थी | हालांकि केंद्र ने पोटाश पर अनुदान में लगभग 10% की कमी कर दी | केंद्र शासन के उर्वरक विभाग नई उर्वरक अनुदान नीति के क्रियान्वयन के लिए गाईड लाईन्स जारी करते हुए यह भी स्पष्ट किया है कि बोरोन तथा जिंक कोटेड फास्फोटिक अथवा पोटेशिक उर्वरकों पर क्रमशः 300 रु. व 500 रु. प्रति टन की दर से अतिरिक्त सब्सिडी दी जाएगी| जिससे किसानों में इन सूक्ष्म तत्वों के उपयोग को भी बढ़ावा मिले| उर्वरक विभाग ने यह भी निर्देश दिए है कि इन उर्वरकों के निर्माता उर्वरक के बैग पर अनुदान राशि दर्शाते हुए एम आर पी आवश्यक रूप से प्रिंट करें| प्रिंटेड एम आर पी से अधिक दर पर उर्वरक बेचना दंडनीय अपराध होगा|

Nutrient Management of Bitter Gourd

27/04/2018Posted on

Nutrient Management of Bitter Gourd:-

  • Add FYM @ 30 tones/ha at the time of field preparation.
  • Application of 75 kg urea, 200 kg single super phosphate and  75 kg muriate of potash/ha at the time of final field preparation.
  • Apply another 75kg urea /ha in 2-3 split doses at the time of veining.
  • Total P & K and one third of nitrogen can be applied basally about 8-10 cm away from the seeds.
  • Nitrogen deficiency causes yellowing of vine and tillage and checks the vegetative growth.
  • Whereas the excess dose promote excess biomes accumulation which reduces fruiting and produce more number of male flower which is undesirable.
  • Deficiency of reduces plant height and area of foliage causing flower drop and checks the fruiting.
