Importance of consortia PK bacteria

12/10/2025 Friday October 31st, 2025

It contains a mixture of two types of bacteria i.e. phosphorus solubilizing (PSB) and potash mobilizing bacteria (KMB).
It helps in the supply of potash and phosphorus which are two major elements of soil and crop, it is used more in pulses.
This bacteria converts insoluble potash and phosphorus that is found in the soil into soluble form to provide plants.
It causes the plant to get the necessary elements in time, and the crop grows well,
Crop production increases as well as the availability of nutrients in the soil.

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.

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.
