Follow these tips to prevent fruit cracking in tomato crops

  • Fruit cracking is a major problem in tomato crops which is also known as blossom end rot. Mainly this problem is seen due to the deficiency of calcium and boron, but there can be many other reasons which are as follows –

  • Due to irregular irrigation. 

  • Due to high fluctuations in temperature, the use of mulch in the field is beneficial for this.

  • Due to giving more nitrogen and less potash in the crop, for this use balanced manure and fertilizers in the field.

  • If the tomato is planted in light loamy soil, then this problem is more visible because this type of soil is generally deficient in boron, for its management following suggestions can be adopted.

  • For this, calcium ammonium nitrate @ 20 kg/acre can be applied to the soil after 25 days of transplanting.

Citrus psylla insect attack in citrus plants

06/03/2022Posted on
Citrus psylla insect attack in citrus plants

  • It is one of the major insect pests in citrus plants, which is active on new tender leaves during autumn and spring and causes more damage during flowering and fruit formation in the month of March-April.

  • This insect is also a carrier of greening disease in citrus plants.

  • This insect is small, 3 – 4 mm long, brown in colour, with transparent wings.

  • This insect lays eggs on unopened leaf buds which are bright yellow in colour.

  • Both nymphs and adults damage the plant by sucking the sap from the leaves, tender stems and flowers. 

  • Due to this the leaves turn dry and fall and eventually the twigs also start drying.

  • The nymphs of this insect secrete a crystalline honey-like liquid which attracts the growth of the fungus and consequently the process of photosynthesis is affected.

  • For its management, spraying of Quinalphos [Celquin] @ 700 ml or Profenophos 40% + Cypermethrin 04% EC [ProfeNova] @ 400 ml/acre can be done.

Big change in the crop insurance scheme, now you will get benefits sitting at home

Big change in the crop insurance scheme

Due to the changing weather, the crops of the farmers suffer a lot. In view of this problem of the farmers, the Central Government had started the ‘Crop Insurance Scheme’ in 2016. Through this scheme, farmers can get their crops insured and seek financial help from the government in case of any kind of loss in the crop.

However, for some time it was seen that farmers were facing a lot of difficulties to take advantage of this scheme. Due to the non-availability of hard copies of this scheme on time, the farmers were not able to claim the insurance despite the loss in the crop. In view of this problem of the farmers, the government has made a big change in the crop insurance scheme.

Under this change, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar has started ‘Meri Policy, Mere Haath’. With the help of this scheme, now farmers can get insurance documents themselves as soon as possible sitting at home. To get the documents fill out the online form by visiting the official website https://pmfby.gov.in/ and take advantage of this scheme.
