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.

The disease spreads by Phytophthora fungus. Potato late blight is a pandemic disease that can extremely affect potato crop.
Late blight destroys the green leaves of plants within 5 days.
In this disease, spots start to appear on the edges of the leaf and gradually spread all over it, branches and stems also get affected and later the tubers as well. On the lower surfaces of the leaves white color shells are formed, which later turn brown and black.
Due to the infection of the leaves, the size of potato tubers is reduced and production decreases and the entire field is destroyed when the weather gets favorable for the disease.
Metalaxyl 30% FS @ 10 gram should be dissolved in 10 liters of water and dipped in seeds and treated and dried it.
Use Chlorothalonil 75% WP @ 250 gram/acre or Metalaxyl 4 % + Mancozeb 64% WP @ 250 gram/acre or Tebuconazole 10% + Sulphur(s) 65% WG @ 500 gram/acre or Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP @ 300 gram/acre
