Importance of Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria in soil

07/06/2020 Monday June 8th, 2020

Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for plant growth. But it remains unavailable in the soil, which the plants cannot easily use.
There is a 50% zinc deficiency in India’s arable land. This micro element is helpful in controlling ‘Khaira disease’ in paddy and white bud disease in maize crop.
Adding zinc-solubilizing bacteria to the soil has several advantages, such as the continuous supply of available zinc, improving fertilizer use efficiency, crop yield, yield quality, improving soil health and increasing hormone activation.
Zinc soluble bacteria produce organic acids in the soil, causing the unavailable state of zinc to convert the available material to the plants, besides maintaining the pH balance of the soil.
At the time of last ploughing or at the time of sowing, 4 tonnes FYM or compost should be used by mixing 2-4 kg of zinc soluble bacteria in crops and dispersing it in one acre field.

Know the benefits of Azolla

07/06/2020 Monday June 8th, 2020

Azola is an aquatic fern that is commonly grown in paddy fields or shallow water.
Azola contains a microorganism of green algae species called Anabina which stabilizes atmospheric nitrogen in the presence of sunlight and contains 3.5 percent nitrogen and various types of organic matter which increase fertility of the land.
The use of azolla as a fertilizer is expected to increase the production of paddy crop by 5 to 15 percent.
The use of Azolla supplies protein, amino acids, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, iron, which is good for the physical development of animals.
Using azolla feed, it increases 20% more milk production than animals and its milk is found to be more fat and non-fat.
Presently, given the availability of useful nutrients for animals, ajola can be called cheap, digestible and nutritious supplementary animal feed for milch animals, chickens and goats.

Organic products present in the Soya Samriddhi Kit and method of use

06/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Soya Samriddhi Kit plays an important role in increasing soybean yield.
Soya Samriddhi Kit contains organic products like Trichoderma viride, Potash and Phosphorus bacteria, Rhizobium bacteria, Humic acid, Amino acids, Seaweed, and Mycorrhiza.
Trichoderma viride present in this kit is capable of preventing the most harmful fungi found in soil. It is used for 4 grams per kg of seed treatment and 2 kg per acre of soil treatment.
The second product of this kit is a mixture of two different microorganisms which increases the availability of potash and phosphorus in the soybean crop and also helps in production growth. It is used in the soil at a rate of 2 kg per acre.
The third product of this kit contains Rhizobium bacteria which develops legumes in soybean roots, nitrogen fixation from the atmosphere, and available to the crop. This 5 gram per kg seed is used for seed treatment and 1 kg per acre is used.
The last product of this kit contains humic acid, amino acids, seaweed extract, and mycorrhiza ingredients. It is used in soil @ 2 kg per acre.
7 kg of Soya Samriddhi Kit (which includes all the above organic products) should be mixed with 4 tons FYM at the time of the last plowing or before sowing @ one acre so that the crop gets its full benefit.

Testing soil with gramophone proved a boon for Khargone farmer

06/06/2020 Saturday June 6th, 2020

The most important requirement for farming is the soil, hence the healthy soil is very important to get a good production from any crop. The same fact was understood by the farmer Mr. Shekhar Pemaji Chaudhary, a resident of village Pipri under Bhikgaon tehsil of Khargone district. Shekhar had been cultivating bitter gourd for the last few years, in which there was sometimes some loss or even some benefit, but this time he grew bitter gourd as per the advice of Gramophone, in which he got better profit.

This time, Shekhar got Gramophone agricultural experts to conduct soil testing of their fields before cultivation of bitter gourd and also got soil treatment done according to the advice of experts. By doing this, the nutrients in the soil were replenished and it was ready for harvest. After this, Shekhar cultivated bitter gourd and when it came to production, it was much higher than before.

So in this way, soil testing gave Shekhar good production from the bitter gourd crop. If you also want to get your soil tested, then you can contact our toll free number 18003157566 for this. You will be given every information related to soil testing here. Apart from this, you can also login on Gramophone Krishi Mitra app.

Mites control in Chili crop

06/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

These are small yellowish-green insects that suck the juice by staying on the lower surface of the leaves.
Due to which the leaves turn downwards. White to yellow spots appear on the surface after eating leaves.
These mites form white colored threads on the lower surface of the leaves.
Due to excess attack, along with the number of flowers and fruits, the quality also decreases and the plant starts drying up.
For effective control of this pest, spray Propargite 57% EC @ 400 ml or Spiromesifen 22.9% SC @ 200 ml or Abamectin 1.9% EC @ 150 ml in 200 liters of water per acre.

Importance of Rhizobium culture in soybean crop

05/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Rhizobium is a bacteria found in soybean roots which increases the crop yield by atmospheric nitrogen fixing. But currently the amount of undesirable elements in the soil has so much increased that the bacteria of Rhizobium in the soybean crop are unable to function to the best of their ability.
Therefore, using Rhizobium culture produces fast legume in the roots of soybean crop and increases the yield of soybean by 50-60%.
The use of Rhizobium culture increases about 12-16 kg of nitrogen to the soil per acre.
Rhizobium culture is done by adding 5 grams per kg of seed for seed treatment and 1 kg of culture per 50 kg FYM before sowing for soil treatment.
Nitrogen deposited by Rhizobium bacteria present in the roots of the pulses is used in the next crop, which also requires less fertilization in the next crop.

Current advice related to Soybean cultivation in the changing environment

05/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

For the cultivation of soybean, sow after 20 June. Rainfall is likely to occur by the end of September this year, so short-term soybean varieties may be a problem. Hence long-term soybeans can be used for early planting. For seed treatment, take out the seeds of soybean and prepare the seeds after treatment.

For seed treatment use clean and Vitavax 2.5 gram per kg seed and Jhalora 2.0 ml per kg seed, P Rise 2.0 gram for organic seed treatment along with Rhizo Care 5 gram per kg. It is necessary to treat soybean with Rhizobium at the rate of 5 grams per kg of seeds. If there is a problem of drying soybeans in your field, then spread the rhizocare 500 grams per acre with good ripe dung manure. Be sure to use Soybean Samriddhi Kit before sowing.

Protection white fly in cotton

05/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Its nymphs and adults suck the juice by sticking it on the leaves, which causes light yellow color to fall on the leaves. Later the leaves become completely yellow and deformed.
This pest helps to spread viral disease.
To control this, Diafenthiuron 50% WP 250 gm or Pyriproxyfen 10% + bifenthrin 10% EC 250 ml or
Spraying of Flonicamid 50% WG 60 gm or Acetamiprid 20% SP 100 gm per acre in 200 liters of water.
