Seaweed Amino Acids Utility for Crops

12/07/2020Posted on
Importance of Seaweed in Crops
  • The use of amino acids and seaweed can accelerate seed germination.
  • It has a special effect on the root development of the crop,
  • Depending on the adequate supply of nutrients, seaweed and amino acids grow in plant height, stem diameter, leaf number, etc.
  •  high production and crop improvement
  • Helps in the conservation of natural elements present in the soil.
  • Helps in controlling the ratio of carbon and nitrogen by microorganisms
  •  By balancing the process of nutrient decomposition.
  • To sustainably manage agricultural land.

Sowing of more crop than last year due to good monsoon rains

Monsoon effect: 104% increase in cotton sowing with pulses, oilseed crops

This year, the monsoon has knocked on the scheduled time and most of the states have also received good rains. Due to this good monsoon, at the present time, the sowing of various crops has reached 87 percent, which is much higher than last year.

If we talk about Central India, then there has been more than normal monsoon rainfall due to which farmers have sown soybean crops on a large scale. Due to so much sowing of soybean, the area under cultivation has increased five times compared to last year. Apart from this, India is also the most important exporter of rice and cotton, and both of them have been sown well for its good crop.

Importance of Organic Carbon in soil testing
  • Soil organic/organic carbon (SOC) is the most important component in maintaining soil quality,
  • It plays its role in improving the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil.
  • Higher soil organic carbon improves the physical structure of the soil more and more.
  • It improves soil aeration (oxygen in the soil) and water drainage and retention, and reduces soil erosion and nutrient depletion.
  • Supporters in the development of microorganisms like earthworms  and beneficial fungi and bacteria.
  • Carbon is the main component of soil organic matter and it helps in providing soil with its water holding capacity, its structure and its fertility.

Use of humic acid in organic farming

11/07/2020Posted on
  • Humic acid is a mineral produced from the mine. In general language, can be called soil conditioner. Which increases the fertility of barren land. Improves soil structure and gives it a new lease of life.
  • Its most important function is to make the soil brittle so that the roots can grow more.
  • This accelerates the action of light synthesis, which leads to greenness in the plant and growth of branches.
  • Develops tertiary roots of plants so that the absorption of nutrients from the soil can be increased.
  • Increases the fertility of the soil by increasing the metabolic activities of plants.
  • It is helpful in increasing the yield of the crop by increasing the fruits and flowers in the plants.
  • Increases seed germination capacity and protect plants from adverse environments.

Mycorrhiza effect on chilli plant
  • A mutual symbiotic relationship between the roots of any fungus and plants is called myco rider. 
  • In this type of relationship, the fungus becomes dependent on the root of the plants and becomes an important component of soil-life.
  • Mycorrhiza plays an important role in a good crop. There is a connection between mycorrhiza fungi and plant roots.
  • Mycorrhiza helps in capturing various types of plant nutrients like phosphorus, nitrogen, and small nutrients from the soil.
  • Play an important role in increasing crop yield. Mycorrhiza accelerates the processes through plants. It helps in keeping the plants green under drought-like conditions.
  • The function of mycorrhiza is to increase the availability of phosphorus by 60–80%.
  • The use of mycorrhiza leads to better growth of roots.
  • Mycorrhiza causes better absorption of nutrients by the roots in the plants and helps in maintaining moisture around the plants.
  •  Mycorrhiza protects crops from soil-borne pathogens.

Fertilizer management after 20 to 30 days in ginger crop

10/07/2020Posted on
  • At the time of sowing of ginger, as fertilizer management is necessary similarly fertilizer management is very necessary after 20-30 days of sowing.
  • This management is done to increase the good growth of ginger crops and immunity against diseases.
  • At this time, the ginger rhizome is spread in the soil, fertilizer management is very important for good growth of the plants.
  • for this use  MOP @ 30 kg / acre, SSP @ 50 kg / acre, zinc sulfate @ 5 kg / acre or NPK consortia 3 kg / acre, zinc bacteria @ 4 kg / acre,  mycorrhiza @ 4 kg / acre
  • It is necessary to have moisture in the field at the time of the use of fertilizers.

Management of Anthracnose in Soybean

10/07/2020Posted on
  • Anthracnose is first seen during reproductive growth stages.
  • Symptoms usually appear as dark, irregular lesions on leaves, or pods.
  • When the pod is infected, the fungus can completely fill in the pod and no seeds are produced, or, smaller seeds may form.
  •  for its control ude Tebuconazole 10% + Sulfur 65% WG @ 500 gram / acr
  • Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP @ 300 gram / acre
  • Spray the thiophanate methyl 70% WP @ 300 ml / acre

Spraying Management in Soybean after 20-30 days

09/07/2020Posted on
  • Different types of insects  especially girdle beetle, blue beetle etc. and diseases are active in the growth of soybean crop.
  • In order to control these pests and diseases, spraying management is very important in 20-30 days which is as follows.
  • Lambda-Cyphlothrin 4.9% CS @ 200 ml / acre
  • Or Profenophos 50% SC @ 500 ml / acre
  • Spraying  Carbendazim  12% + mancozab 63% WP @ 300 gram  / acre.
  • Beveria Basiana @ 500 gram / acre This spraying  is required for the control of insects.
  • Seaweed 400 ml / acre or amino acid @ 300 ml / acre or G A 0.001% @ 300 ml/acre This spraying is very important for a good growth period.
  • If it rains within 24 hours of spraying, spray again.
  • The lower surface of the leaves should be sprayed completely because insects feed on that part.
  • Spraying of the same pesticide chemical should not be repeated.
