Nutritional management at the time of tuber formation in onion crop

Nutritional management at the time of tuber formation in onion crop

  • Until three leaves do not emerge after germination, the crop grows slowly above the ground and in the soil.

  • Once the 3 leaves emerge, the growth of the crop accelerates. This development takes place within the soil.

  • Plants produce more leaves to increase photosynthetic activity and store the materials needed to make bulbs.

  • Nutritional management in plants at this stage is important for bulb formation, crop development, and the beginning of final yield.

  • Use Calcium Nitrate @ 10 kg/acre + Potash @ 25 kg/acre as soil treatment.

  • Spray Paclobutrazol 40% SC @ 30 ml/acre 100 days after transplanting.

Temperature Control Measures for Good Production in Rabi Crop

Temperature Control Measures for Good Production in Rabi Crop

Measures to control temperature (in case of low) for good crop production-

  • Irrigation of fields is crucial:: Whenever there is a possibility of low temperature or frost warning has been given from the weather forecast department, light irrigation should be provided to the crop. The temperature will not fall below 0° C and crops can be protected from the loss due to lower temperature as Irrigation increases the temperature by 0.5 – 2° C.

  • Cover the plant:: The nursery is in the most vulnerable stage in low temperatures. In nurseries, it is advisable to cover the plants with plastic sheets at night. By doing so, the plastic causes the temperature inside to increase by 2-3 degrees celsius. Straw can also be used instead of polyethene whose surface temperature does not reach the deposition point. While covering the plants, keep in mind that the southeastern part of the plants remain open, so that the plants get sunlight in the morning and afternoon.

  • Windbreakers: These breakers reduce the intensity of cold waves and protect them from crop damage. For this, such crops should be sown around the field, so that the wind is controlled to some extent, e.g. sowing maize in gram fields. To protect the plants from frost, they should be covered except in the direction of sunlight using straw or any other object.

  • Smoke near the field: To control temperature, you can create smoke in your field, so that the temperature does not fall to the deposition point and crops can be protected from damage.

  • Spray Pseudomonas 500 grams per acre to prevent frost.

Management of sucking pests in potato crop

  • Due to sucking insects in potato crops, there is heavy damage to the crop, as well as adversely affecting the quality of the crop. In the potato crop, there is an outbreak of the following sucking insects such as aphids, jassids, thrips, whitefly and mites etc. It is necessary to control these pests in time.

  • Aphids, jassids – Its nymphs and adults harm the plants by sucking the sap of the leaves.

  • Thrips-  These very tiny insects are black or yellow in colour. Adults suck the sap from the leaves by scraping the leaves.

  • Whitefly- They are small in size and white in colour, which sucks the sap of the leaves. Due to which the growth of plants is hindered. Whitefly acts as a carrier for the virus.

  • For the management of aphids, jassids, thrips, whitefly spray Thiamethoxam 25% WP @ 100 gm or Acephate 75% SP 300 gm/acre or Acetamiprid 20% SP 100 gm or Diafenthiuron 50% WP @ 250 gm per acre.

  • Mites- Leaves become reddish-brown in colour and dry up. For its control, spray Propergite 57% EC 400 ml or Ethion 50% EC 600 ml or Sulfur 80% WDG @ 500 gm/acre.

  • Installing 10 yellow sticky traps per acre in potato fields can also save the crop from the infestation of sucking pests.
