Paddy production increased to 2.5 quintal/acre after using Maxxmyco

Many products make claims to increase yield from crops, but only a few products come true on their claims. One such product is Maxxmyco of Gramophone using which many farmers have achieved good production from different crops. One of these farmers is Mr. Ratnesh Meena, a farmer of Hasalpur village of Hoshangabad district of Madhya Pradesh, who used Maxxmyco in his paddy crop.

Ratnesh ji planted paddy crop on 10 acres. He put Maxxmyco on 6 acres and not on 4 acres. The paddy crop using Maxxmyco got better growth. When the yield finally came after harvesting, the total yield on 6 acres with Maxxmyco was 96 quintals at an average of 16 quintals / acre, while the 4 acres of crops without Maxxmyco produced only 54 quintals at an average of 13.5 quintals / acre.

Like Ratnesh ji, you too can use Maxxmyco in your crop and get good yield. To order Maxxmyco at your home, you can give a missed call on our toll free number 18003157566 or login to Gramophone Krishi App.

Temperature control measures for good crop production

Temperature control measures 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 temperature. In nursery 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 degree celsius. Straw can also be used instead of polyethylene whose surface temperature does not reach the deposition point. While covering the plants, keep in mind that the south eastern 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, for 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.

Nutritional management measures while tubers formation in the onion crop

Nutritional management measures while tubers formation in the 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.
  • Presently spray Paclobutrazol @ 40% SC @ 30 ml/acre as spray
  • Use Calcium Nitrate @ 10 kg/acre + Potash @ 25 kg/acre as soil treatment.
