Vermi compost made from water hyacinth

  • Water hyacinth becomes a big problem in ponds or where there is stagnant water. Due to this, difficulties have to be faced in taking fisheries and other water crops. Once the water hyacinth is removed, it grows again in a few days.

  • To deal with the problem of hyacinth, making earthworm compost from hyacinth is a better option.

Method

  • Remove the hyacinth from the water, cut its roots and keep it for drying till the green colour turns brown.

  • Make a slurry by adding water to the cow dung, mix dried hyacinth in it and collect it on a drum or soil and cover it with a jute bag, hay or hyacinth leaves.

  • Now after 4 – 5 days add earthworms. After adding earthworms, keep sprinkling water in 4-5 days because earthworms eat soft things, so it is necessary to maintain moisture.

  • In this way, vermicompost is prepared in 3 months, one thing has to be taken care of in this that the right amount of cow dung is added, otherwise the earthworms leave the food and the compost is not prepared well.

How to identify and control the outbreak of sawfly in mustard

How to identify and control the outbreak of sawfly in mustard

  • This pest causes more damage to the mustard crop after 25-30 days of germination.

  • The rear part of the female adult of this insect is very developed and saw-like, due to which it lays eggs in the leaves by piercing. It sucks the sap from the plant, along infects the flower and flies away. Often this fly devours the major part of the inflorescence, which stops the growth of the plant. 

  • The larva of this insect feeds on leaves after sunset and in the early morning and remains hidden inside the soil during the day.

  • When there is more outbreak of sawfly on the crop, instead of the leaves, only the web of veins remains.

  • To control, take a spray of Profenophos 50% EC @ 500 ml or Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC @ 80 gm or Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG @ 100 gm/acre.

  • For biological control, use Bavaria bassiana @ 250 gm/acre.
