Moong leaf curl virus disease

  • The outbreak of moong leaf curl virus disease can occur at any stage of the crop.

  • Thrips are the main vector of this disease.

  • In the symptoms of this disease, cyanosis begins to appear on the edges, veins and around its branches. The leaves start curling downwards and by gently moving such leaves, they fall down along with the stalk. At the stage of pod formation, the plant produces small and deformed pods.

Management Measures:

  • If infestation is seen within 30 days of sowing, destroy the infected plants.

  • Remove the weed hosts that give shelter to viruses and thrips.

  • Use resistant varieties. 

  • For thrips management, spray of Lambda cyhalothrin 5% EC [LamNova] 250 ml + Profenofos 40 % + Cypermethrin 4% EC [ ProfeNova Super] 400 ml + Fipronil 5% SC [FipNova] 400 ml/acre can be done.

  • Spray polyformphos [Privental] @ 100 gm/acre is also beneficial.

Government will give Rs 31000 per hectare to farmers for natural farming

Excessive use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture has harmful effects on soil health. The only option to avoid this is natural farming, with the help of which both the yield of the farm and the fertilizer capacity of the soil can be increased. At the same time, schemes are being run by the government across the country to promote natural farming. Under this, the government is providing financial assistance to farmers for seeds, biofertilizers, bio-pesticides, organic manure, compost, botanical extracts, etc. For this, the government is giving a financial amount of Rs 31 thousand per hectare to the farmers. Which will be provided to the farmer brothers for 3 years.

Along with this, the central government is promoting natural farming on the banks of river Ganga through Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana and Indian Natural Farming System. At the same time, according to these schemes, under the Namami Gange program, a total fund of Rs 120.49 crore has been released to the farmers so far. Many farmer brothers have benefited from its help. On the other hand, farmers are being trained for judicious use of chemical fertilizers with the aim of improving soil health, so that they can reap the benefits of farming by combining both inorganic and organic sources of plant nutrients.

What is Integrated Pest Management and its main measures

  • Integrated pest management (IPM) is the equitable use of more and more methods capable of keeping the damage caused by pests, diseases and weeds, etc., which damage crops below the economic level. In this eco-friendly practical, mechanical, biological and chemical plant protection activities are used interchangeably when necessary.

Major Measures:

  • Practical control includes deep tillage, adoption of crop rotation, seed and plant treatment, timely sowing, use of resistant varieties, weed control, proper use of nutrients and irrigation water etc.

  • In mechanical control, install light traps and pheromone traps, destroy disease and insect affected parts etc.

  • Use of predatory and parasitic insects in biological activities.

  • In chemical control, in the presence of predatory and parasitic insects, in order to protect them, use relatively safe insecticidal chemicals only when there is more outbreak of pests than the economic limit.
