Prevention: Destroy the plants affected by the disease. To save the crop from this disease, adopt crop rotation, and select varieties resistant to root rot disease. Seed treatment before sowing is very important.

For biological control, Combat (Trichoderma viride) at 8 gm/kg seed

or

Treat with Vitavax Power (Carboxin 37.5% + Thiram 37.5% WS) 3 gm/kg seed.

Importance of zinc solubilizing bacteria in the soil

  • Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for plant growth. But it remains in the soil in an unavailable form which plants cannot use easily. This microelement is helpful in the control of ‘Khaira disease’ in paddy.

  • Mixing zinc-soluble bacteria in the soil has many benefits such as improving fertilizer use efficiency, crop yield, crop quality, improving soil health and increasing hormonal activity.

  • Zinc solubilizing bacteria produce organic acids in the soil, which convert the zinc element lying in the unavailable state into the available form for plants, besides this, they maintain the balance of soil pH.

  • At the time of last ploughing or sowing, apply “Zinc solubilizing bacteria” mixed with 2-4 kg of well-rotted farmyard manure per acre.

Damping Off disease is one of the few fatal diseases in the cotton crop. 5 to 20% of crops are destroyed due to this disease. The effect of Damping Off disease is more visible in 10-15 days old plants. Due to Damping Off disease, the roots and stems of the plants start rotting. The stems of the plants start getting thin and the leaves start withering. When the problem of this disease increases, the leaves of the plants turn yellow, start drying up and the plants fall on the ground.

Methods of controlling Damping Off disease: 

  • To save the crop from this disease, adopt crop rotation, select varieties resistant to Damping off disease.

  • Seed treatment before sowing is very important.

  • For biological control, Combat (Trichoderma viride) at 8 gm/kg seed or

  • Treat with Vitavax power  (Carboxin 37.5%+ Thiram 37.5% WS) 3 gm/kg seed.
