Know the reasons for premature tuber sprouting in the main field in garlic crop

Know the reasons for premature tuber sprouting in the main field in garlic crop

Garlic bulbs are sometimes observed to germinate in the field at the beginning of the maturity stage of the bulb, especially when it rains in the winter season or due to excess soil moisture and nitrogen supply. Also, this problem in garlic is caused by irrigation more often than the normal requirement in the crop.

Short-duration varieties are more susceptible to this problem than long-duration varieties. Delayed harvesting in the rainy season leads to premature germination and cracking of tubers. Also, the wide spacing of cloves at the time of planting increases the absorption of nitrogen and water by individual plants, resulting in premature germination.

Damage caused by red pumpkin beetle in watermelon and preventive measures

15/02/2025Posted on
Damage caused by red pumpkin beetle in watermelon and preventive measures

In this pest, both nymphs and adults damage the crop. The young eat the root, underground stem and fruits attached to the ground, due to which the plant starts withering or rotting may also occur in the plant. Adult insects make holes in the leaves of plants, due to which the plant does not grow and when the outbreak increases, the plant also dies and due to this, there are burnt spots in the field. This pest can also damage the flowering stage, which reduces the fruit set, and in severe stages, production can be reduced by 90%.

Preventive Measures: To control this pest, plough the fields immediately after harvesting and destroy the dormant adults. If infestation is observed, take a spray of Emanova (Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG) @ 100 gm/acre or Tafgor (Dimethoate 30% EC) @ 200 ml per acre in 150-200 litres of water.

Horticulture Farmers to Get Fair Prices with Government’s Special Scheme

14/02/2025Posted on
Horticulture Farmers to Get Fair Prices with Government's Special Scheme

Farmers often face losses due to a drop in the prices of horticultural crops. To address this issue, the central and state governments have introduced the ‘Market Intervention Scheme (MIS)’. This scheme aims to ensure fair prices for farmers’ produce and enhance their income.

Benefits of the Scheme:

  • Financial Security: Farmers are protected against price drops with support similar to the Minimum Support Price (MSP).

  • Elimination of Middlemen: The government directly purchases produce from farmers.

  • Storage Facility: Purchased produce is stored safely to prevent spoilage.

How Does the Scheme Work?

  1. State governments submit a proposal to the central government.

  2. The central government reviews and approves the proposal, providing financial assistance.

  3. State agencies purchase farmers’ produce at a minimum price.

  4. Payment is directly transferred to the farmers’ bank accounts.

Eligible Products Under the Scheme:

The scheme covers crops like mangoes, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, apples, grapes, bananas, spices, and other horticultural produce.

This scheme not only ensures fair prices for farmers but also strengthens their financial position.
