Importance of seed treatment in agriculture

10/06/2020 Wednesday June 10th, 2020

Control of seed borne Diseases: For control of seed borne diseases in small grain crops, vegetables and cotton seeds, seed treatment is very effective.
Control of soil borne diseases: The seeds are treated with fungicidal chemicals to protect seeds and young plants from soil borne fungi, bacteria and nematodes, so that the seeds are safe in the ground,and all the chemicals that are used in seed treatment that are makes a covers around the seeds.
Improves germination: By treating seeds with proper fungicide, their surface is protected from the attack of fungi, which increases their germination capacity.
Protection from pests: By treating the seed with a suitable pesticide before storage, it also protects the seeds during storage and after sowing. The pesticide was selected based on the type and storage period of the crop.

Use of Decomposers in open field

09/06/2020 Wednesday June 10th, 2020

When the crop has been harvested from the field, then decomposer should be used. After spraying, keep a little moisture content in the field. Sowing can be done after 10 -15 days of spraying
use 1 litter/acre decomposer for open field.
use of decomposer as spray in an open field , it effectively controls many bacterial, fungal and viral diseases that occur in soil.
Decomposers provide a wide range of nutrients to plants and provide many Organic matter that are very important for maintaining soil fertility and Improves soil physical- chemical properties. Which contributes a lot in crop production.

Farmers’ income will be doubled by Krishi Udaan scheme

09/06/2020 Tuesday June 9th, 2020

The Krishi Udaan scheme was announced in the Union Budget for the year 2020-21 by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. Through this scheme, farmers will be assisted in the transportation of agricultural products. Through this scheme, perishable products like milk, fish, meat, etc. will be transported to the market via air at the right time. This will enable farmers to get higher prices for their products. Farmer brothers can apply online for this scheme.

Online application process

To join this scheme, farmers have to be registered. To register, first, go to the official website of the Department of Horticulture or Food Processing. Click on the link for Krishi Udaan Scheme present here. Read the guidelines given about the scheme and proceed. Then the online registration form will open. Fill the documents information here and submit them at the end.

Weed Management in Cotton

09/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Weeds begin to emerge after the first rain in cotton.
Do the hand weeding.
Quizalofop ethyl 5% EC @ 400 ml / acre for narrow leaf.
Pyrithiobac sodium 10% EC + quizalofop ethyl 5% EC @ 400 ml / acre 3-5 days after first rain.
When the crop is small, spray it on the soil surface to avoid the crop) Use a hook on the pump.

Method of seed treatment

08/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Seed treatment can be done in one of the following ways.

Seed Dressing: This is the most common method of seed treatment. The seed is treated either in a dry mixture or in a wet form with a pulp or liquid solution. Low-cost earthen pots are used for mixing with seed pesticides or by spreading the seeds on a polythene sheet and spraying the required amount of chemicals by hand mixing.

Seed coating (coating): A special binder is used along with the mixture to properly stick to the seed.

Seed Palletting: It is the most sophisticated seed treatment technology, whereby the physical shape of the seed is changed to improve the palatability and handling of the seed. Palletting requires special application machinery and techniques and this is the most expensive application.

Useful advice for farmers in a changing environment after good rainfall

08/06/2020 Monday June 8th, 2020

There has been good rainfall in the past, due to which weeds must have started growing in the fields. Therefore, when the weeds grow well, all the farmers turn them into soil through a tractor. You should do this work 4 to 5 days before sowing.

Apart from this, when you drive a tractor, before that the West deComposer, which is available in the name of Speed Compost, mix the quantity of 4 kg per acre with 10 kg urea in the field and then run the cultivator and mix it in the field.

With this, you should also mix Trichoderma according to 2 kg. This will help protect the crop not only from diseases but also from pests. Such crops in which nematodes can attack will also protect against that.

This will be a rewarding task especially for the farmers who grow chilli. Apart from this, those who have laid the drip line must spray Paraquat and use the above mixture.

Second spraying in Chili Nursery

08/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

In Chilli nursery do second spary 20-25 days after sowing and 5 days before transplanting.
This spraying should be done for the management of Mites, thrips and sucking pests,and for better vegetative growth after transplantation and for prevention of many fungal diseases.
For insect management use Thiamethoxam 12.6 + Lambda cyhalothrin 9.5 zc 10 ml / pump, For fungal diseases management use Metalaxyl m 4 + Mancozeb 64 wp 60 gm/pump and better vegetative growth. use Humic acid 10 gm / pump.

Importance of Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria in soil

07/06/2020 Monday June 8th, 2020

Zinc is an essential micronutrient required for plant growth. But it remains unavailable in the soil, which the plants cannot easily use.
There is a 50% zinc deficiency in India’s arable land. This micro element is helpful in controlling ‘Khaira disease’ in paddy and white bud disease in maize crop.
Adding zinc-solubilizing bacteria to the soil has several advantages, such as the continuous supply of available zinc, improving fertilizer use efficiency, crop yield, yield quality, improving soil health and increasing hormone activation.
Zinc soluble bacteria produce organic acids in the soil, causing the unavailable state of zinc to convert the available material to the plants, besides maintaining the pH balance of the soil.
At the time of last ploughing or at the time of sowing, 4 tonnes FYM or compost should be used by mixing 2-4 kg of zinc soluble bacteria in crops and dispersing it in one acre field.

Know the benefits of Azolla

07/06/2020 Monday June 8th, 2020

Azola is an aquatic fern that is commonly grown in paddy fields or shallow water.
Azola contains a microorganism of green algae species called Anabina which stabilizes atmospheric nitrogen in the presence of sunlight and contains 3.5 percent nitrogen and various types of organic matter which increase fertility of the land.
The use of azolla as a fertilizer is expected to increase the production of paddy crop by 5 to 15 percent.
The use of Azolla supplies protein, amino acids, vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, iron, which is good for the physical development of animals.
Using azolla feed, it increases 20% more milk production than animals and its milk is found to be more fat and non-fat.
Presently, given the availability of useful nutrients for animals, ajola can be called cheap, digestible and nutritious supplementary animal feed for milch animals, chickens and goats.

Organic products present in the Soya Samriddhi Kit and method of use

06/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Soya Samriddhi Kit plays an important role in increasing soybean yield.
Soya Samriddhi Kit contains organic products like Trichoderma viride, Potash and Phosphorus bacteria, Rhizobium bacteria, Humic acid, Amino acids, Seaweed, and Mycorrhiza.
Trichoderma viride present in this kit is capable of preventing the most harmful fungi found in soil. It is used for 4 grams per kg of seed treatment and 2 kg per acre of soil treatment.
The second product of this kit is a mixture of two different microorganisms which increases the availability of potash and phosphorus in the soybean crop and also helps in production growth. It is used in the soil at a rate of 2 kg per acre.
The third product of this kit contains Rhizobium bacteria which develops legumes in soybean roots, nitrogen fixation from the atmosphere, and available to the crop. This 5 gram per kg seed is used for seed treatment and 1 kg per acre is used.
The last product of this kit contains humic acid, amino acids, seaweed extract, and mycorrhiza ingredients. It is used in soil @ 2 kg per acre.
7 kg of Soya Samriddhi Kit (which includes all the above organic products) should be mixed with 4 tons FYM at the time of the last plowing or before sowing @ one acre so that the crop gets its full benefit.
