Why is the requirement of nitrogen less in pulse crops like soybean?

  • A bacterium called Rhizobium is found in the root nodules of leguminous crops, such as soybeans, which fix atmospheric nitrogen and make it available to the crop. Rhizobium is a nitrogen-fixing bacterium. It is present on the roots of leguminous crop plants and converts atmospheric nitrogen into a form that can be used by the plant.

  • It is a helpful bacterium for farmers, it helps the plants to grow well. It helps the plants to perform well in various life processes like respiration etc. Its use increases the yield of pulses by 50-60%. With the use of Rhizobium culture, about 30-40 kg of nitrogen per hectare increases in the soil.

  • Hence, in pulse crops, no additional nitrogen is required. After harvesting pulses, their residues help in maintaining the nitrogen content in the soil. This reduces the use of nitrogen fertilizers in the production of the next crop.

How to control cyperus grass in a maize crop

  • Motha (Cyprus rotdans) is a perennial plant growing up to 75 cm tall. The stem is erect, triangular and without branches, above the ground. There are 6 to 7 tubers in the root below, they become padded white and later fibrous brown and finally become hard like wood as they get older. The leaves are elongated, often covering each other on the stem.

  • Motha grass is a big problem for the farmers who have been farming for years. Motha emerges as a major factor in reducing the productivity of crops in farmers’ fields. It is a perennial grass and affects almost all the crops but it mainly affects the maize crop.

  • It is very important to control annual weeds like Motha (Cyperus rotundus, Cyperus species). For its control, at 20-25 days after sowing, spray Halosulfuron Methyl 75% WG @ 36 gm/acre.

  • For good and long results, it is very important to have moisture in the field for a long time, so if the moisture is decreasing then light irrigation must be done.

How to protect soybean crop in case of low rainfall

  • Due to the changes in the weather, the soybean crop is getting affected a lot. As everyone knows, soybean is a Kharif crop and it is very necessary to have enough rain for good production of the crop. But at this time, it is raining a lot at some places, and it is not raining at all at some places. In such a situation, the protection of the soybean crop should be done in the following way with less rain.

  • Soybean should not be sown before the onset of monsoon, because if the monsoon does not come completely, then the germination of the soybean crop is greatly affected. Therefore, sow the soybean crop at the right time and only after the arrival of the monsoon.

  • If a farmer has sown, and the amount of moisture in the field is less, then he must do light irrigation of the field, so that there is no problem related to germination or development in the soybean crop.

  • One thing must be kept in mind when the field is being irrigated, then the amount of moisture in the field should not be high, otherwise, the soybean crop may get spoiled due to excess moisture.

  • In case of less rainfall, if fungal and insect infestation is seen in the crop, then spray as required.
