Fusarium wilt disease

Fusarium wilt is a common disease of the chilli crop. It is a seed and soil-borne disease. Affected plants suddenly wither and gradually dry up. Such plants are easily uprooted when pulled by hand. Due to Fusarium wilt, the roots of the diseased plants turn brown and black from the inside. When the diseased plants are cut, the tissue appears black. The leaves of the plants wither and fall down. This disease progresses due to excessive moisture and heat in the air and soil and due to the availability of moisture through irrigation.

Biological management

  • Apply Combat (Trichoderma viride @ 500 gm) or Monas Curb (Pseudomonas fluorescens 1% WP) @ 500 gm per acre.

According to TNAU  

Mix @ 2 kg  Combat (Trichoderma Viride) formulation with 50 kg FYM, sprinkle water over it and cover with a thin polythene sheet. After 15 days when mycelia growth is visible on the heap, apply the mixture in one acre area.

Nutrient management for okra

Land preparation

For good growth and root development of plants, it is necessary to have friable soil. After harvesting the previous crop, ploughing should be done with a soil turning plough and after that, FYM at the rate of 4 tonnes + Speed kompost @ 4 kg per acre should be applied evenly in the field. and apply 2-3 ploughing with the help of a harrow. If the soil moisture is less then first irrigate, then prepare the field, and lastly make the field level by rolling the levelar.

Nutrient Management

At the time of sowing or within 25 days of sowing, DAP 75 kg + MOP 30 kg + Tricoat Maxx  (Organic Carbon 3%, a mixture of humic, fulvic, organic nutrients) @ 4 kg + TB3 (Nitrogen Fixing, Phosphate solubilizing and Potassium mobilizing biofertilizer consortia) @ 3 Kg + Taba G (Zinc Soluble Bacteria) @ 4 Kg + Neem Cake 50 Kg + Agromin ((Zinc, Iron, Manganese, Copper, Boron & Molybdenum) @ 5 Kg + Magnesium Sulphate @ 5 kg, mix all these together and apply it evenly on per acre basis.

What is natural farming?

01/10/2024Posted on
Natural farming

Natural farming is an ancient farming method based on indigenous cows. In which indigenous  cow urine and cow dung is used in crop production as an alternative to chemical fertilizers and other products of chemicals, it maintains the natural nature of the land. Chemical pesticides are not used in natural farming. In this type of farming, the elements which are found in nature are used as pesticides in agriculture.

Nutrients are given to the plants in the form of manure through cow dung, cow urine, bacterial manure, crop residue. In natural farming, the crop is protected from harmful microorganisms and pests by the bacteria, friendly insects and organic insecticides available in nature.

(Four principles of natural farming)

  • No ploughing the fields. That is, neither  ploughing in them, nor turning the soil is to be done. The earth does its own plowing naturally through the penetration of plant roots and earthworms and small animals, and micro-organisms. 

  • No chemical fertilizers should be used. In this method only green manure and cow dung manure are used.

  • Weeding should not be done. Neither by plow nor by the use of herbicides. Weeds play a major role in making the soil fertile and in balancing bio-fraternity . The basic principle is that weeds should be controlled rather than eliminated completely.

  • Do not depend on chemicals at all. The problems of disease and pest imbalance began to arise in the fields from the time the weak plants started growing due to wrong practices like tillage and use of fertilizers. By not tampering, the balance of nature remains absolutely right.
