To help farmers the government will pay the premium of crop insurance

Madhya Pradesh Agriculture Minister Shri Kamal Patel has informed that the government is going to pay the premium for crop insurance of farmers. A decision on this matter will be taken soon. This decision will benefit those small and medium farmers who are unable to pay their premium due to some reason. By paying the premium of the government, farmers will be able to get the benefit of insurance easily.

Apart from this, it is also being considered to start a canteen in the Mandi premises to provide farmers with agricultural products and equipment at one place at a low rate. The government is going to decide on this subject soon. Along with this, a clinic facility is also going to be started in the name of Atal Bihari Bajpayee for the farmers coming to the market. Here all types of medical examinations of farmers will be done and their cards will also be made.

  • For the control of these pests and diseases, it is very necessary to do spray management in 40-45 days, which is as follows.

  • Spray Beta cyfluthrin 8.49% + Imidacloprid19.81 OD% @ 150 ml/acre for control of pink worm infestation or Abamectin 1.9% EC @ 150 ml/acre for mite control or Beauveria bassiana @ 500 gm/acre for biological control.

  • For control of fungal disease, spray Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP @ 300 g/acre or spray Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gm/acre as biological treatment.

  • Use Homobrassinolide 0.04 W/W @ 100ml/acre, this spraying is very necessary for good growth of the plant and good development of flowers.

  • If it rains within 24 hours of spraying, spray again.

  • The lower surface of the leaves should be thoroughly sprayed as the insect is more active on the lower surface of the leaves.

  • By taking measures for fungal disease, pest control, and nutritional management, the production of the cotton crop is good. By spraying in this way, the formation of the ball is very good, and the quality of the produce will increases.

Benefits of fertilizer management in 20-30 days in flood irrigated chili crop

  • For good production of chili crop, management of nutrients from time to time is also very necessary because nutrient deficiency causes yellowing and change in the shape of leaves in chili crop. Due to the deficiency of these nutrients, the growth of the chili crops gets stunted.

  • It is very necessary to do fertilizer management after 20-30 days of transplanting chili. At this time, the roots of chili plants spread in the soil, and the plant starts growing. Fertilizer management is very important for the good growth of plants and roots.

  • For fertilizer management, apply Urea @ 45 kg / acre, DAP @ 50 kg / acre, Magnesium Sulphate @ 10 kg / acre, Sulfur @ 5 kg / acre, Zinc sulphate @ 5 kg / acre. It is very important to have moisture in the field at the time of application of fertilizers.

  • Urea:- Urea is the biggest source of nitrogen supply in chili crops. Due to its use, there is no problem like yellowing and drying in the leaves. Urea accelerates the process of photosynthesis.

  • DAP (Diammonium Phosphate): – Diammonium phosphate is used for the supply of phosphorus. Its use improves root growth and helps in plant growth.

  • Magnesium Sulphate:- With the application of Magnesium Sulphate in the Chilli crop, greenery increases in the crop. The process of photosynthesis is accelerated, ultimately leading to a higher yield and quality of produce.

  • Zinc Sulphate: Zinc is a major micronutrient required for the normal growth of plants. With its use, the growth of the chili plants are good, the yield of the crop increases.

  • Sulfur: It is mainly helpful for the growth of the roots of plants. This element also plays an important role in the division of various cells.

  • Magnesium sulfate:- Application of Magnesium sulfate in the cotton crop increases greenery in cotton crop and accelerates the process of photosynthesis, ultimately leading to higher yield and quality of production.

  • In this way, the supply of nitrogen in the cotton crop is very good due to nutritional management. Potash increases the number and size of the ball. Magnesium sulfate supplies micronutrients. If the production of ball is very good, then the production of cotton is also high.

How to identify weeds, Know what kind of damage it causes to crops

11/07/2021Posted on
Know what kind of damage weed causes to crops

  • The production of any crop is greatly affected by the outbreak of weeds, pests and diseases, in which maximum 35 to 70 percent loss is due to weeds only. Weeds compete with the crop for natural resources such as light, space, water, air as well as nutrients, causing a huge reduction in yield.

  • Due to the high infestation of weeds, the outbreak of diseases in the crop is also very high. There are three types of weeds in the crop.

  • Narrowleaf / monocotyledon weed: The leaves of the weeds of the grass family are thin and long and parallel stripes are found on these leaves. It is a monocotyledonous plant such as Sanwa (Echinochloa colona) and Kodon (Eleusine indica) etc.

  • Broadleaf / Dicotyledonous weeds: The leaves of this type of weeds are often broad, it is mainly dicotyledonous plants such as choti and badi doodhi, phulkia, diwalia, bokhana, jangali choulai (Amaranthus viridis), safed murgh ( celosia argentea), jangali jute (Corchorus acutangulus)

  • Annual weed: The leaves of this family of weeds are long and the stem is solid with three edges. Tubers are found in the roots, which help in collecting food and giving birth to new plants such as doob, motha (Cyperus rotundus, Cyperus species) etc.

  • The crop yield is greatly affected due to the weeds, the nutrients given to the crop are also absorbed by the weeds. Infestations of the weeds cause more damage to the crop. Generally, weeds use up to 47% of phosphorus, 50% of potash, 39% of calcium and 34% of magnesium available to crops. Due to which the yield of the crop decreases. Due to these weeds, the outbreak of fungal diseases and pests on the crop is also very high.
