Timely advice related to agriculture for farmers in the changing environment

03/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Advice for moong crop:

Seeing the possibility of good rainfall at present, harvest the moong crop as soon as possible. Those whose mung bean crop is slightly green but the legumes have fully matured, harvest the best crop by spraying 100 ml per acre using paraquat dichloride 24% SL (ozone or gramoxone).

Use of composting bacteria:

As you know, the rains have happened before time, so there is a possibility of mold growth and to avoid this, the residues of the remaining crop in the fields need to be rot. For this, spread the speed compost with 4 kg and 500 grams of Trichoderma viridi (Rhizocare) per acre mixed with 50 kg of rotten cow dung in the field. If there is a waste of wheat, 45 kg of urea, and 10 kg of urea if green vegetables are used. Use them only when there is sufficient moisture.

If the farmer does light plowing with the above biological treatment, then chances of good results increase.

Tips for Chili crop:

At this time the safety of chili nursery is very important. Therefore, sprinkle 10 grams of thiomethoxome 25 WG (avidant or Areva) with Kasugamycin 5% + Copper oxychloride 45% WP (Konica) 30 g per pump to protect the plant from fungi and pests.

How to dig and storage Jayad Groundnut

03/06/2020 Monday September 25th, 2023

Jayad groundnut should be dug when the leaves of the plant start turning yellow and veins rise above the peanut bean and the inner parts become brown.
Digging the field with light irrigation and after uprooting the plants from the land, make small bundles and dry them thoroughly in light sun or shade.
Separate peanuts from plants. The mechanical Groundnut Digger is useful for reducing labor loss in groundnut digging.
Careful drying should be done after digging to maintain proper storage and germination capacity in groundnuts as the germination potential declines if the groundnut is dried in strong sunlight.
The moisture content in the matured grains should not exceed 8 to 10% before storage. Otherwise, aspergillus fungi in peanuts cause moisture, which is harmful to human and animal health, due to excess moisture.
Fully dried beans should be stored in a ventilated place. Where they cannot absorb moisture or in each sack, storage by calcium chloride 300 grams per 40 kg seed rate.
Protect from insect moths that are harmful during storage, so that the beans do not get spoiled during storage.
