Know how to protect garlic crop from black mold during storage

Black mold is the most important post-harvest disease in the summer season. This disease is common wherever onion and garlic are stored.

Symptoms:

Black mold is commonly seen in the maturity stage of garlic. The symptoms of this disease appear in the form of black powder between the garlic buds and on the nodes. Due to this, the price of garlic starts decreasing in the market. Also, the storage of affected bales cannot be kept for a long time.

Prevention:

  • Before storing garlic, clean and dry the cloves thoroughly.

  • Keep only well-matured, firm and healthy tubers for storage.

  • The place of storage should be moisture free and well-ventilated.

  • Tubers should not be piled in the storage area. Apart from this, tie the tubers in bunches with leaves and hang them on the ropes. Also, keep it filled in bamboo baskets.

  • Rotten tubers should be removed from time to time.

How to manage crop residue after harvest

24/03/2025Posted on
How to manage crop residue after harvest

Instead of burning the crop residues, after ploughing these crop residues with the help of a rotavator, apply water, due to which the crop residues mix with the soil. Mixing crop residues in the field gives many benefits along with increasing the fertility of the land.

Benefits of mixing crop residues in the field

  • Farmers can take advantage of organic farming by mixing crop residues in the field with the help of rotavator.

  • Biodiversity is maintained by mixing crop residues in the field itself. The beneficial insects present in the ground eat and destroy the harmful insects. The amount of organic matter in the soil increases, due to which crop production is more.

  • By mixing the residues of pulse crops in the soil, the amount of nitrogen increases, which also increases crop production.

  • Instead of burning the crop residue, the farmers will make fodder for their animals by keeping it as straw, on the one hand, they can also increase their income by selling the extra straw.

How to manage crop residue

  • Crop residues can be collected for animal feed or industrial management.

  • Paddy straw can be used for animal feed by treating it with urea/calcium hydroxide.

  • In the field with the help of straw belling machines, crop residues can be made into blocks and stored in less space, which can be used as animal feed.

  • By running a reaper machine on wheat straw we can make chaff.

  • The use of crop residues is also helpful in mushroom cultivation.

Symptoms of major pests in citrus crop

23/03/2025Posted on
Symptoms of major pests in citrus crop

Citrus Psylla: Both adults and nymphs of this insect suck the sap from buds, leaves, and soft parts of branches and inject poisonous substances into them. Nymphs excrete a white crystalline substance, on which black sooty mold may develop, which reduces the photosynthetic area of ​​plants. In heavy infestation, the leaves become deformed and curl upwards. Also, this insect becomes a vector for spreading citrus greening disease.

Management: To control pests as soon as an infestation is visible, spray Thianova 25 (Thiamethoxam 25 %WG) @ 40 gm per acre or Media (Imidacloprid 17.80 % SL) @ 20 ml per acre 

Citrus Leaf Miner: This pest causes damage to both the nursery and the orchid. insect attacks the tender leaves and eats the leaves by making spiral lines on the leaves. Affected leaves become discoloured light yellow and fall down. The infestation of this pest promotes the development of citrus canker disease.

Management: All the affected parts of the plants should be pruned to control this pest. In case of an increase in infestation spray Media (Imidacloprid 17.80 % SL) @ 20 ml or Profenova Super (Profenofos 40 % + Cypermethrin 4 % EC) @ 2 ml per litre of water.

Aphids: Nymphs and adults suck the sap from the tender leaves and branches. Affected leaves turn yellow, dry, deformed, and dry up. Plant growth stops. Sooty mold is produced on the honeydew excreted by the aphid. If the infection occurs at the time of flowering, it results in less fruit set. Also, it plays the role of a vector for citrus tristeza virus.

Management: To control it as soon as the infestation appears spray, Tafgor (Dimethoate 30% EC) @ 594 ml per acre or Media (Imidacloprid 17.80 % SL) @ 20 ml/ acre.

Know the method of making silage for animals

22/03/2025Posted on
Know the method of making silage for animals

For making silage, the pit should be 6 feet deep and 5 feet wide. A silage pit which is 10 feet in length, 5 feet in width and 6 feet in depth can accommodate about 45 quintals of green fodder. The place where the pit should be made should be high and sloping so that rainwater does not enter inside. The walls of the pit should be absolutely straight, and flat and the corners should be round. The walls and floor of the raw pit should be well plastered with soil before filling the fodder so that there is no way for air to enter from it. Silage can get moldy if air enters it. Before filling green fodder, lay straw, chaff or straw in the pit. Put chaff or straw between the wall and the fodder so that the fodder and the wall do not remain in direct contact. Fill the fodder little by little in the pit by pressing it with the feet so that no air remains between the fodder. The pit should be 2-3 feet high from the ground. To close the mouth of the pit, cover it with a plastic sheet and press its edges well with soil so that air cannot enter inside the sheet. Silage is ready in about two months.
