How to manage crop residue after harvest

Instead of burning the crop residues, after ploughing these crop residues with the help of a rotavator, apply water, due to which the crop residues mix with the soil. Mixing crop residues in the field gives many benefits along with increasing the fertility of the land.

Benefits of mixing crop residues in the field

  • Farmers can take advantage of organic farming by mixing crop residues in the field with the help of rotavator.

  • Biodiversity is maintained by mixing crop residues in the field itself. The beneficial insects present in the ground eat and destroy the harmful insects. The amount of organic matter in the soil increases, due to which crop production is more.

  • By mixing the residues of pulse crops in the soil, the amount of nitrogen increases, which also increases crop production.

  • Instead of burning the crop residue, the farmers will make fodder for their animals by keeping it as straw, on the one hand, they can also increase their income by selling the extra straw.

How to manage crop residue

  • Crop residues can be collected for animal feed or industrial management.

  • Paddy straw can be used for animal feed by treating it with urea/calcium hydroxide.

  • In the field with the help of straw belling machines, crop residues can be made into blocks and stored in less space, which can be used as animal feed.

  • By running a reaper machine on wheat straw we can make chaff.

  • The use of crop residues is also helpful in mushroom cultivation.

Symptoms of major pests in citrus crop

23/03/2025Posted on
Symptoms of major pests in citrus crop

Citrus Psylla: Both adults and nymphs of this insect suck the sap from buds, leaves, and soft parts of branches and inject poisonous substances into them. Nymphs excrete a white crystalline substance, on which black sooty mold may develop, which reduces the photosynthetic area of ​​plants. In heavy infestation, the leaves become deformed and curl upwards. Also, this insect becomes a vector for spreading citrus greening disease.

Management: To control pests as soon as an infestation is visible, spray Thianova 25 (Thiamethoxam 25 %WG) @ 40 gm per acre or Media (Imidacloprid 17.80 % SL) @ 20 ml per acre 

Citrus Leaf Miner: This pest causes damage to both the nursery and the orchid. insect attacks the tender leaves and eats the leaves by making spiral lines on the leaves. Affected leaves become discoloured light yellow and fall down. The infestation of this pest promotes the development of citrus canker disease.

Management: All the affected parts of the plants should be pruned to control this pest. In case of an increase in infestation spray Media (Imidacloprid 17.80 % SL) @ 20 ml or Profenova Super (Profenofos 40 % + Cypermethrin 4 % EC) @ 2 ml per litre of water.

Aphids: Nymphs and adults suck the sap from the tender leaves and branches. Affected leaves turn yellow, dry, deformed, and dry up. Plant growth stops. Sooty mold is produced on the honeydew excreted by the aphid. If the infection occurs at the time of flowering, it results in less fruit set. Also, it plays the role of a vector for citrus tristeza virus.

Management: To control it as soon as the infestation appears spray, Tafgor (Dimethoate 30% EC) @ 594 ml per acre or Media (Imidacloprid 17.80 % SL) @ 20 ml/ acre.

Know the method of making silage for animals

22/03/2025Posted on
Know the method of making silage for animals

For making silage, the pit should be 6 feet deep and 5 feet wide. A silage pit which is 10 feet in length, 5 feet in width and 6 feet in depth can accommodate about 45 quintals of green fodder. The place where the pit should be made should be high and sloping so that rainwater does not enter inside. The walls of the pit should be absolutely straight, and flat and the corners should be round. The walls and floor of the raw pit should be well plastered with soil before filling the fodder so that there is no way for air to enter from it. Silage can get moldy if air enters it. Before filling green fodder, lay straw, chaff or straw in the pit. Put chaff or straw between the wall and the fodder so that the fodder and the wall do not remain in direct contact. Fill the fodder little by little in the pit by pressing it with the feet so that no air remains between the fodder. The pit should be 2-3 feet high from the ground. To close the mouth of the pit, cover it with a plastic sheet and press its edges well with soil so that air cannot enter inside the sheet. Silage is ready in about two months.

Precautions to be taken while digging in garlic crop

21/03/2025Posted on
Precautions to be taken while digging in garlic crop

Garlic crops get fully ripe in 130 to 180 days. When the crop is fully matured, the leaves of the crop start turning yellow and dry up and fall down. Along with this, due to the weakening of the hold of the plants around the tuber, the ripening of the crop can also be predicted.

Keep these things in mind while digging garlic

  • Irrigation should be stopped completely at the stage of maturity and digging should be started after a few days.

  • If the hold of the garlic crop on the soil is weak, it can be dug by hand or by using a spade.

  • While digging with a hoe, do not let the tip of the spade touch the root.

  • Allow the garlic to dry in the field along with the leaves.

  • Keep it in the sun according to the moisture present in the garlic. Too much moisture or too much sunlight can spoil the crop.

  • For longer storage, cut garlic with 2 to 3 cm of the stalk.

  • When adequate storage facilities are available, keep garlic in bundles with leaves.
