Identification and control measures of fruit fly in Cucurbits crops

25/07/2022 Monday July 25th, 2022

Identification of fruit fly

These pests damage the developed soft fruits.
Fruit fly infestation continues from July to October.
The female fly of these insects by inserting her ovipositor into the pulp of soft fruits lays eggs in them, from which in 1-2 days (maggot) develop inside the fruit and eat the pulp.
And leave the excreta inside the fruit itself, due to which the fruit starts rotting. The damaged part of the fruit gives off a strong odor and the fruits become distorted and deformed resulting in poor quality of the fruits which are not marketable.

Pheromone trap:

It has a special kind of smell. which is released by the female moth. This smell attracts male moths. Different types of pheromones are released by different insects, so different lures are used for different insects. To control fruit fly in cucurbits crop, use IPM trap (Melon fly lure) 8 to 10 traps per acre.

control measures

Spray benevia (CYANTRANILIPROLE 10.26 % OD) @ 360 ml + silico maxx @ 50 ml per acre, @ 150 -200 liters of water.

For biological control, spray bave-curb (Bavaria bassiana) @ 500 gm/acre, @150 -200 liters of water.

Causes and prevention measures to fall flowers and fruits in cucurbit crop

24/07/2022 Sunday July 24th, 2022

In cucurbits, crops like bottle gourd, Sponge gourd, watermelon, muskmelon, pumpkin, cucumber, tinda, bitter gourd etc. The reason for this is as follows –

Lack of pollination

Pollination may fail due to various mechanisms, and pollination may fail due to lack of pollinator, or adverse environment.

Nutritional deficiencies

Many times the plant does not get nutrients in the right amount, due to which flowers and fruits are not able to develop fully and fall,It is very important for the plant to get sulphur , boron, calcium, magnesium etc.

Lack of water / moisture :

Due to lack of sufficient water, plants are unable to absorb nutrients from the soil

through their roots, due to which there is a lack of many types of elements in flowers and fruits and they start falling. And due to excessive temperature and strong wind, there is excessive evaporation of water, due to which the leaves of the trees wither which causes fruit drop.

Seed development

Oxytocin released from the seeds helps in attaching the fruits to the plants. With less or no pollination, the seed does not form properly or the seed does not develop properly, in both the cases, the fruit falls in large quantities.

pests and diseases

Fruits and flowers start falling due to various types of insects and microorganisms in the plants.

Carbohydrate content:

Carbohydrates are needed for the production and development of fruits, and if the level of carbohydrates in plants is low, then the problem of fruit drop becomes more.

Measures to prevent fruit and flower drop

- Nutrient Spraying: Nutrients should be sprayed from time to time in the plants. Major and minor eg – boron, calcium, magnesium etc.
- Irrigation: According to the need, irrigation should be done in the crops at a fixed interval so that sufficient amount of moisture is maintained, keep in mind that excessive irrigation can also be harmful.
- Weeding: Weeding and other intercropping work should be done from time to time in the cucurbitaceous, so that the field remains free from weeds. It is necessary to use well-rotted manure or vermicompost from time to time.
- Pest control: Insects and disease cause damage in large quantities in crops, they should be treated from time to time in consultation with agricultural experts.
- Maintaining the balance of hormones: In a normal crop, more damage is also caused due to hormonal imbalance. So maintain the balance of hormones. ex . Spraying of novamaxx (GIBBERELLIC ACID 0.001%) @ 300 ml per acre, @ 150 to 200 liter of water .

Use of pollinator

For the pollination of these crops, it is necessary to have bees or other insects, not to do any kind of spraying or other agricultural work in the field during the presence of these insects. Due to this, the work of pollination is done easily and on time.

After cow dung, now the government will also buy cow urine at this rate

23/07/2022 Sunday July 24th, 2022

With the aim of increasing the income of farmers, the government is running many schemes. In this episode, the Chhattisgarh government has now announced to buy cow urine after cow dung. Under this scheme, on the one hand, farmers and livestock farmers will get additional income. On the other hand, pest control products can be prepared from Jeevamrut and cow urine for organic farming, which will reduce the cost of farming.

According to the announcement, the Chief Minister of the state will start the work of buying cow urine on July 28 in the Gauthans of the state through a special program. At the same time, under this scheme, a minimum amount of Rs 4 per liter has been fixed by the Gauthan Management Committee for the purchase of cow urine from cattle rearers in Chhattisgarh. That is to say, farmers will get at least Rs 4 per liter on selling cow urine. This purchase amount may also increase which will depend on the Gothan committee. However, farmers and livestock owners will get double benefits by purchasing cow urine after cow dung.

The problem and solution of leaf curling in a chili crop

23/07/2022 Saturday July 23rd, 2022

Leaf curl disease is the most deadly and most damaging disease of the chili crop. It is known as Kukda or Churda-Murda disease in different places. This disease is caused by the infestation of thrips, whitefly, and mites.

white fly-

The scientific name of this insect is (Bemisia tabaci) The nymph and adults of this insect keep on sucking the sap by sticking to the lower surface of the leaves. After the completion of the brown baby stage, it turns into a pupa. Affected plants appear yellow and oily. On which black mold grows. These insects not only damage the crop by sucking the sap. Rather, they leave sticky substances on the plants, which increases the chances of fungal diseases. In its infestation, the leaves of the plants wither and twist.

control measures

To control, spray Meothrin (Fenpropathrin 30% EC) @ 120 ml + silicomaxx @ 50 ml, per acre @ 150 -200 liters of water.

For biological control, spray (Bave-curb) Bavaria bassiana @ 500 gm/acre @ 150 -200 liters of water.

Mite

The scientific name of this insect is Polyphagotarsonemus latus bank. These are small organisms that suck the sap from the underside of leaves. As a result the leaves shrink and curl downwards. Which are not possible to see with ordinary eyes. If thrips and mites attack together in a chili crop, then the leaves get twisted strangely. Its outbreak has a great impact on the production of the crop.

control measures

To control, spray Oberon (Spiromesifen 22.90% SC) @ 160 ml or Omite (Propargite 57% EC) @ 600 ml + silicomaxx @ 50 ml, @ 150 -200 liters of water per acre.

Thrips

Nutrient management is an important aspect to get a higher yield of maize. Apply Urea @ 35 kg, micronutrient mixture Calbor (Boron 4 + Calcium 11 + Magnesium 1 + Potassium 1.7 + Sulfur 12 %) @ 5 kg per acre.

Flowering starts at the age of 40 to 45 days in maize crop. For higher flowering, spray Homobrassinolide 0.04% w/w (Double) @ 100 ml per acre @ 150 to 200 Ltr of water.
