Importance of magnesium for plants

30/11/2020 Saturday November 28th, 2020

Magnesium plays an important role in the food production process of plants and it is the major element behind greenness of the leaves. Magnesium (Mg) also plays an important role in many enzyme activities in plants and development of plant tissues.
The average amount of magnesium in the soil is 0.5 – 40 g / kg, but at present, the amount of magnesium in most soils is found to be 0.3 – 25 g / kg.
The first signs of magnesium deficiency appear on the old leaves below, the veins of the leaves get dark colored and the middle part of the veins becomes yellowish red.
Deficiency of nitrogen in the soil increases magnesium deficiency.

How to control frost in gram crop

29/11/2020 Monday January 11th, 2021

The long nights of winter are cold and sometimes the temperature can even drop to freezing point or below it. In such a situation the water vapor, without converting into liquid directly, gets converted into minute ice particles, which is known as frost and it can be very harmful for flora and crops .
Leaves and flowers of plants appear scorched due to the effect of frost which later causes them to fall. Even half-ripe fruits shrink. They wrinkle, the bud falls and the formation of grain is hindered.
To protect your crop from frost, you create smoke around your field, so that the temperature will be balanced and the crop can be saved from frost damage.
On the day when there is a possibility of frost, spray 0.1% solution of sulfur on the crop . Keep in mind that the spray of solution covers plants well. The effect of spray lasts for two weeks. If there is a possibility of cold wave and frost even after this period, spray of sulfur should be repeated at an interval of 15 to 20 days.
