Government’s Maize Development Scheme: A Major Boost for Farmers

05/03/2025Posted on

The Uttar Pradesh government is taking initiatives like the Rapid Maize Development Scheme and MSP procurement to increase farmers’ income. Under this, subsidies are being provided for dryer machines, improved seeds, and modern agricultural technologies.

Subsidy on Dryer Machines

During maize harvesting, moisture levels can reach up to 30%, increasing the risk of fungal growth. To prevent this, the government is offering a subsidy of up to ₹12 lakh on dryer machines.

  • Cost of Dryer Machine – ₹15 lakh

  • Government Subsidy – ₹12 lakh

  • Subsidy on Popcorn Machine – ₹10,000

₹15,000 Subsidy on Maize Seeds

To promote the cultivation of hybrid maize, popcorn, baby corn, and sweet corn, the government is providing a subsidy of ₹15,000 per quintal of maize seeds.

Target for Maize Production

The government aims to increase maize production to 27.30 lakh metric tons by 2027. ✅ Expanding cultivated area ✅ Providing better seeds and technology ✅ Allocating a budget of ₹27.68 crore

Currently, maize is grown on 8.30 lakh hectares in Uttar Pradesh, yielding 21.16 lakh metric tons. The government is introducing new agricultural techniques to enhance productivity.

Maize: A Versatile Crop

Maize is not just a grain but also an essential raw material for several industries. It is used in:

  • Ethanol production

  • Animal and poultry feed

  • Pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries

  • Paper, textile, and alcohol production

  • Food products like popcorn, baby corn, and maize flour

Focus on Increasing Productivity

The government aims to increase per-hectare yield to 100 quintals.

  • Maize yield in Tamil Nadu – 59.39 quintals/hectare

  • India’s average yield – 26 quintals/hectare

  • Uttar Pradesh’s average yield (2021-22) – 21.63 quintals/hectare

Through this scheme, farmers will achieve higher production and better profits. If you’re a farmer in Uttar Pradesh, make sure to take advantage of this scheme!

Identification and control of downy mildew disease in bottle gourd crop

04/03/2025Posted on
Identification and control of downy mildew disease in bottle gourd crop

Downy mildew in bottle gourd plants is caused due to irregularity of water and moisture content in the ground. Downy mildew is a serious disease in bottle gourd plants which is caused by the fungus PseudoPeronospora cubensis. This disease can affect plants at any growing stage. Due to this disease, brown and yellow spots appear on the leaves, later it spreads to the veins of the leaves due to which the leaves turn yellow and fall down.

Control: To prevent this disease, avoid giving excess water to the gourd plant. Avoid wetting the leaves when watering the plant. And when symptoms appear, spray Jatayu (Chlorothalonil 75% WP) @ 200 grams per acre or Novaxyl (Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP) @ 800 – 1000 grams per acre mixed with 150 to 200 litres of water.

Appropriate time and precautions for harvesting wheat crop

03/03/2025Posted on
Appropriate time and precautions for harvesting wheat crop

In wheat crops, usually, the leaves start drying up at the time of ripening, sometimes one or two leaves may remain green and the lower part of the ear becomes golden. Also, if the grain is pressed with the thumb, milk does not come out and the grain becomes hard. Apart from this, when 25-30% moisture remains in the grains, then the crop may be harvested.

The crop should be harvested immediately after ripening, because late harvesting may lead to grain shedding in some varieties, also rats and birds can cause damage. Sometimes delay in cutting also affects the quality of wheat grain. If harvesting is not done in time, then the yield can also reduce, Because 5-10% of grains are lost due to shedding, eating by birds and rats and bad weather.

In wheat crops, before harvesting irrigation should be stopped Also it is very important to protect the crop from falling. After harvesting the bundle should be dried in the sun for 4-5 days because if the soil is mixed in with the grains at the time of harvesting the quality of produce will be affected.

Molybdenum element is essential in the crop of green and black gram

02/03/2025Posted on
Molybdenum element is essential in the crop of green and black gram

  • Molybdenum is essential for the process of symbiotic nitrogen fixation by Rhizobium bacteria in the root nodules of pulses.

  • Molybdenum is a micronutrient that green gram and black gram crops require in very small amounts.

  • But its small quantity is also very important for the good growth of the green gram and black gram crop.

  • Molybdenum plays a very important role in chemical changes in nitrogen in green gram and black gram crops.

  • It enhances the disease resistance of plants, as well as helps in the synthesis of vitamin C and sugar in plants.

  • Due to the deficiency of Molybdenum, the crop does not develop properly.

  • Yellowing occurs on the edges of the leaves, new leaves start drying. In general, the symptoms of molybdenum deficiency are similar to those of nitrogen deficiency.
