Onion bolting or flowering problem and its remedy

  • This is not a disease, it is a physiological disorder, which farmers know by the name of onion flower or pipe formation etc. This problem is often seen in the onion in the 4-5 leaf stage.

  • In this disease, onion leaves turn yellow and dry from the top and flowers start forming on the leaves, due to which the yield is affected along with the size of onion bulbs.

  • Possible reasons – deficiency and excess of nitrogen in the crop, excessive irrigation, not selecting the variety according to the season, lack of nutrients in the soil, delay in transplanting, moisture in the atmosphere etc.

  • Remedy – Use the right amount of nitrogen and nutrients at the right time. Keep in mind that do not use urea while making bulbs.

  • Avoid excessive irrigation and choose only good quality variety according to the sowing season. 

  • Onion seedlings are ready for transplanting in 30-45 days, delay in transplanting also increases the chances of this disease.

  • When you see flowers in the crop, pluck it. It is necessary to do this otherwise the tubers do not get enough nutrition and the tubers remain small.

Bumper subsidy of 70% to farmers on a greenhouse

Protected farming is a good option for farmers today. Through this, many farmers of the country are earning good profits by cultivating vegetables and flowers in greenhouses. However, not every farmer in the country is financially capable of protected farming. To reduce this problem of the farmers, the government gives grants to the interested farmers, so that the financial difficulties of the farmers can be solved.

In this episode, the Rajasthan government has come up with a bumper scheme for the farmers of its state. Under this, 70% subsidy is being given to farmers in the state for setting up and cultivating greenhouses. With the help of this, farmers can do protected farming by making greenhouses, poly houses, shade net houses etc.

In Rajasthan, this program is being run under the National Horticulture Mission and Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana. Under this, a 50% subsidy is given to the general category farmers of the state for greenhouse construction. At the same time, in addition to 50% subsidy, 20% additional grant is provided to small, marginal, scheduled caste and tribe farmers.

Let us inform you that earlier, farmers were given grants on the basis of the ‘first come first serve’ scheme. At present, this process of selecting farmers has been changed. From last year, under this scheme, only the farmers selected by lottery are given grants. You too can earn good profit through the protected farms by joining this economic scheme of the state.
