Gummy stem blight symptoms and control in watermelon crop

Gummy stem blight is one of the serious foliar diseases in watermelon crops. In this disease, brown spots appear on the stems and leaves and these spots are surrounded by yellow tissues. After that, this lesion on the stem enlarges and forms a rotting which secretes a sticky, brown liquid. Fruit is rarely affected by this disease, but a loss of foliage can also affect yield and fruit quality.

Control: To avoid gummy stem blight, use disease-free seeds, as well as crop rotation of 2 years in all cucurbits crops. Also, on the appearance of disease symptoms, for chemical control, spray contact fungicide like Jatayu (Chlorothalonil 75% WP) @ 200 gm/acre or M45 (Mancozeb 75% WP) @ 600-800 gm/acre @ 150 to 200 litres of water.

Symptoms and control of fall armyworm in wheat crop

Due to the change in the weather, the outbreak of caterpillars has increased in the wheat crop. Surprisingly, this caterpillar was never seen before in the wheat crop. But like last year, this year also the outbreak of caterpillars is visible in the wheat crop. The name of this insect is the fall armyworm. It is a polyphagous insect. It mainly damages the maize crop. But nowadays this pest is also harming the wheat crop. Its outbreak increases more in cloudy weather. Also causes more damage to crops. Insect infestation reduces when it gets colder.

Insect identification: The newly hatched caterpillar is generally pale green in colour with a black head. After the second stage, the colour of the head becomes reddish brown. The inverted Y-shaped black structure on this red-coloured head is the main identity of this insect. The adult caterpillar is mottled grey to dark brown, bearing a close resemblance to the tobacco caterpillar. The female moth covers the eggs with a grey scale that usually gives the appearance of mildew.

Control measures: To control this pest, take a spray of Emanova (Emamectin Benzoate 5 % SG) @ 80 gm + Bave Curb (Bavaria bassiana 5% WP) 250 gm + Silicomaxx Gold @ 50 ml per acre @ 200 litres of water

A Project Worth 1400 Crore Rupee to Solve Irrigation Challenges

17/01/2025Posted on
Sendhwa Micro Udvahan Sinchai Pariyojana

Proper irrigation is crucial for successful farming, yet many farmers struggle to access adequate water for their fields. To address this issue, the Madhya Pradesh government has launched the “Sendhwa Micro Udvahan Sinchai Pariyojana.” This ambitious project aims to transport water directly from sources to fields through pipelines.

By leveraging modern micro-irrigation techniques, the project will enable irrigation over a larger area while conserving water. Farmers will benefit from reduced water usage, increased crop yields, and lower agricultural expenses, making this initiative a boon for the farming community.

As per reports, the project is estimated to cost ₹1,402.74 crore and will provide irrigation facilities to approximately 44,148.50 hectares across 98 villages. Around 53,000 farmers are expected to benefit from this initiative.

Farmers seeking to avail of this scheme can contact their nearest agriculture department or project office for more details.

Nutrient management in okra crop at 15 days old stage

17/01/2025Posted on
Nutrient management in okra crop at 15 days old stage

At the stage of 15 to 20 days after sowing the okra crop, Urea @ 50 kg + Cosawet (Sulphur 90% WG) @ 5 kg + Zinc Sulphate @ 5 kg + Calbor 5 kg mix all these together and broadcast according to a one-acre area and do light irrigation.

Advantages of use

Urea: Urea is the biggest source of nitrogen supply in the crop. By its use, there is no problem with the yellowing and drying of leaves. Urea accelerates the process of photosynthesis.

Zinc: Zinc helps in carbohydrate, protein and chlorophyll formation in okra plants. Which is responsible for driving metabolic reactions. This increases the production as well as the quality of the crop. In addition to zinc, it also makes sulfur available to crops. And sulfur helps in fruit formation in okra. Also, sulfur helps in protein formation.

Calbor: Calbor contains Calcium + Boron which is essential for nutrition, growth, photosynthesis, transport of sugars and cell wall formation.

Farmers practicing natural farming can benefit from this scheme!

16/01/2025Posted on
National Natural Farming Mission

The government is running several schemes aimed at increasing farmers’ income and ensuring their prosperity across the country. One such initiative is the ‘National Natural Farming Mission,’ launched by the Central Government. This mission aims to promote natural farming methods, improve soil productivity, and enhance the quality of agricultural produce.

As you may know, natural farming avoids the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, relying instead on organic alternatives such as cow dung, cow urine, and agricultural waste. These eco-friendly methods not only benefit the environment but also boost soil fertility.

Under this mission, farmers will receive training and technical assistance, along with awareness programs highlighting the advantages of natural farming. Additionally, Krishi Vigyan Kendras and local agricultural departments will provide ongoing support to farmers.
