Prepare the field for garlic crop like this

24/09/2025 Monday September 1st, 2025

For the cultivation of garlic, loose soil with good drainage, which has a high amount of organic carbon and whose pH level is 6-7 is considered ideal. Highly acidic and heavy soil is not suitable for this crop. The optimum time for sowing garlic is from September to October.

To prepare the field, after harvesting the previous crop, do one ploughing in the field with the help of a soil-turning plough and 2-3 ploughing with the help of a harrow. If there is less moisture in the soil then first do plowing, then prepare the field and finally make the field level by leveling it. Keep the distance between plant-to-plant and row-to-row 10 to 15 centimetres. Keep the seed rate at the rate of 5-6 quintals/hectare.

For fertilizer and other nutrient management Urea- 20 kg + SSP- 50 kg + DAP- 30 kg + MOP- 40 kg + Seaweed, Amino, Humic (Tri-Coat Max) 4 kg + NPK Consortia (TB3) 3 kg + Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria (Taba G) 4 Kg +(Fipnova Gr) FIPRONIL 0.6% GR @ 4 Kg + Micro Nutrient Mixture (Agromin) 5 Kg + Magnesium Sulphate 5 Kg per acre.

Symptoms and Prevention of Wilt Disease in Guava

23/09/2025 Monday September 1st, 2025

In wilt disease, the leaves turn light yellow while the leaves of the top branches become curved and twisted. In the later stage, the yellowed leaves discolour and fall prematurely. The plant fails to produce new leaves or flowers causing some of the twigs to bare and eventually dry up. Proper sanitation in the garden can keep the disease at bay. The infected trees should be uprooted.
For the prevention of this disease, Trichoderma viride 5 -10 gm or Pseudomonas fluorescence 2.5 -5 gram per 5 kg of treated cow dung should be added per pitcher, while planting and 10 kg per pitcher on old plants.
Trichoderma viride 5 -10 grams or Pseudomonas fluorescence 2.5 -5 grams per litre of water and drench on the plant.
Make a basin around the guava plant and mix Carbendazim 45% WP @ 2 gram/litre of water or Copper oxychloride 50% WP @ 2.5 gram/litre of water and drench it in the basin.

Spider Mites attack will increase in maize crop, know the preventive measures

22/09/2025 Monday September 1st, 2025

Spider mites infestations can occur at all stages of the maize crop. Spiders damage the crop by sucking the juice from the leaves.
This causes premature drying of maize leaves and results in the destruction of leaf tissue, breakage of stalks and shrivelling of grains.
Damaged leaves become somewhat yellow and sticky on the upper surface and brown due to webbing on the lower surface.
Use Omite (Propargite 57% EC) 400 ml/acre to control Spider Mites in maize crops.
