How To Control Fall ArmyWorm In Maize By Seed Treatment

  • Maize is the main crop of the Kharif season and, during the Kharif season, there is a lot of moisture in the soil, due to which the attack of fall armyworm  is very high in Maize.

  • For the control of fall armyworm, it is very important to take measures at the time of sowing of maize so that there is no damage to the maize crop.

  • By plowing the field before sowing maize, the pupae of insects are eaten by birds. To prevent fall armyworm, sow the seeds only after treating them with insecticide.

  • Fall armyworm destroys the maize crop by eating its roots and leaves, due to which the maize crop is completely destroyed.

  • For its control, do seed treatment of maize or use treated seeds only. For this use recommended insecticides like Imidacloprid 48% FS @ 5 ml/kg seed or treat with Chlorantraniliprole 19.8 + Thiamethoxam 19.8 FS @ 6 ml/kg seed.

  • Treat with Beauveria bassiana @ 5 gram/kg seed as an biological seed treatment

  •  Along with this, some more precautions must be taken like sowing maize in the whole field together, don’t do it separately.

  • To reduce the incidence of fall army worm, sow varieties like hybrid maize as its seed coat is hard. Intercrops can also be sown with maize.

Precautions to be followed during seed treatment in Kharif crops

  • In Kharif, mainly cotton, chilli, soybean, tomato, etc. crops are sown.

  • For good production in these crops, it is very beneficial to do seed treatment before sowing, but it is very important to be careful while doing seed treatment.

  • Seed treatment should be done in the order of FIR, i.e. first using fungicide followed by insecticide and lastly any organic product (PSB/Rhizobium).

  • Spread the seeds on an earthen pot or polythene sheet and mix the dry or liquid form of fungicide and insecticide by spreading it well on the seeds. One thing should be kept in mind in this type of treatment that the chemical should stick well on the seeds.

  • The second method of seed treatment involves treating the seeds by mixing chemicals with seed sticking agents.

  • Use as much water as needed to coat the seed or chemical

  • Use only recommended doses of fungicide and insecticide

Causes of low and excess pH in soil and damage to crops

12/06/2021Posted on
Causes of low and excess pH in soil and damage to crops

  • Reason for the low pH: – Due to excessive rainfall, alkaline elements such as calcium, magnesium etc. from the top surface of the soil are washed away in the water, due to which the pH value of the soil becomes less than 6.5, we call such soil as acidic.

  • Reason for the high pH: – Soil in which alkali and salts are found in high quantities. Due to which this salt gets deposited on the soil in the form of grayish-white color. This type of soil is completely infertile, due to which the pH value of the soil is more than 7.5, this type of soil is called alkaline. Due to the excessive use of calcium and magnesium fertilizers in the soil, the pH of the soil becomes high, due to which the availability of fertilizers and nutrients in the soil decreases.

  • Due to the decrease in pH value, the normal growth of the roots of plants stops, due to which the roots remain short, thick and compact, the amount of manganese and iron increases in the soil, due to which the plants become affected by many diseases. Due to this, the solubility of phosphorus and molybdenum decreases in soil, its availability to the plants affected, there is an imbalance in the nutrients which reduces the yield.
