Measures for crop growth in 15-20 days of sowing in pea crop

18/11/2020 Wednesday November 18th, 2020

Pea is a pulse crop, thus not requiring much nitrogenous fertilizer.
In pea crop, micronutrients are very important in 15-20 days of sowing and it is also very important to protect the crop from fungal diseases and insects.
For Protection of pea crop from all these diseases use Micronutrient @ 8 kg /acre + sulphur 90%@ 5 kg/acre+ zinc sulphate@ 5 kg /acre
For Protection of pea crop from insects use Acetamiprid 20 % SP@ 100 gram/acre or Profenofos 50 % Ec@500 ml/acre
For Protection of pea crop from fungal disease use Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63%@ 300 gram/acre or Hexaconazole 5% SC@ 400 ml/acre
As a biological treatment use Pseudomonas Fluorescens @ 250 gram/acre.

Methods and benefits of using pheromone trap

17/11/2020 Tuesday November 17th, 2020

Pheromone trap is a type of insect trap used to attract insects
Different pheromones are used for different types of insects.
It is applied on all the four corners of the field, each pheromone has a capsule in which the male adult insect is trapped.
The advantage of this new technology is that the farmer can use it by estimating the number of insects on his fields.
It is the cheapest biological method to use against fruit fly and caterpillars.
This is a good way to control adult insects, thereby controlling the life cycle of the insect.

Management of sucking pests

17/11/2020 Tuesday November 17th, 2020

Due to the changes in the weather, all the crops that are planted during the Rabi season are affected by the sucking pests
These pests are thrips, aphid, jassid, Mites, white fly, all of these pests cause harm to the crop by sucking the sap of leaves of crops.

Razaka grass, a very useful food for animals

16/11/2020 Monday November 16th, 2020

Rajka grass is rich in protein and vitamins, fulfills the need for a good nutritious diet for animals.
Regularly feeding this grass to animals increases milk production as well as ups their disease resistance.
The size of its seed is very small. Therefore, for its cultivation, plough the land deeply, prepare the field flat and weed free.
The use of this grass increases the quantity of milk in animals and provides green fodder to the animals throughout the year.

What measures taken to increase germination after sowing the crop

15/11/2020 Friday November 13th, 2020

In most areas crop sowing of the Rabi season is almost complete.
The changes in the weather, the crop is not getting germinated properly.
Farmers can increase the germination percentage of the crop by adopting some simple measures.
It is very important to have sufficient moisture for germination in the field at the time of sowing. Plants germinate well in sufficient moisture and new roots begin developing in the plants.
For good growth and development of roots, use the organic product Maxxmyco 2 kg/acre as soil treatment within the 15-20 days of sowing.
Along with this spray seaweed extract @ 300 ml / acre or Humic acid @ 100 gram / acre.
And if any type of fungal diseases are found in the soil, then use appropriate fungicide.
By adopting these measures, the germination of crops can be increased

How to prevent root rot and stem rot disease after sowing in the potato crop

15/11/2020 Monday January 11th, 2021

Root rot disease occurs due to sudden drop and rise in temperature. Fungal disease develops in the soil causing the potato crop to turn black, which deprives the plants of the necessary nutrients and the plants turn yellow and wither away.
Stem rot disease is a soil borne disease, in this disease, the stem of the potato plant turns black and gummy secretion comes out from the middle part of the stem due to which the main nutrients do not reach the upper part of the plant and the plant dies
For prevention of these disease use Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC@ 300 ml/acre or Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP@ 300 gram/acre or Chlorothalonil 75% WP@ 400 gram/acre or Thiophanate Methyl 70% W/W@ 300 gram/acre
As biological treatment use Trichoderma Viride@500 gram/acre or Pseudomonas Fluorescens@ 250 gram/acre
Always sow the crop only after soil treatment and seed treatment.

Use and benefits of Rhizobium before sowing in gram crops

12/11/2020 Monday January 11th, 2021

There is a great importance of Rhizobium bacteria in pulses crops. This culture includes nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
It lives as a symbiotic in the roots of pulses crops and converts atmospheric nitrogen into a simple form that can be used by the plant.
It helps the farmers by helping the plants to grow well. The use of this culture makes the plants perform well in various processes like respiration etc.
It is used as soil treatment and seed treatment before sowing.
Use 1 kg of Rhizobium culture in 50 kg FYM or farm soil and broadcast in the field or treat seeds at the rate of 5 gram/kg.
