Stem and bulb nematode in Onion and Garlic

04/11/2019Posted on

Stem and bulb nematode in Onion and Garlic:- Nematode enters through stoma or plant wounds and create galls or malformations in plant growth. This allows for the entrance of secondary pathogens like fungi and bacteria.  Symptoms are stunted growth, discoloration of bulbs, and swollen stems.

Management:-

  • Bulbs that show signs of disease should not be planted.
  • Proper sanitation of fields and tools is essential because this nematode can survive and reproduce in infected plants and residues.
  • Apply Carbofuron 3% Granular @ 10 kg/ acre in the soil for better control of Nematodes.
  • Apply Neem Cake @ 200 Kg/ Acre in the soil for organic control of Nematodes.

Weed control in Garlic

02/11/2019Posted on
Weed control in Garlic:-
  • Application of Pendimethalin 38.7% CS @ 100ml/15 litre of water or Oxyfluorfen 23.5 EC @ 15ml/15 litre of water or Oxadiargyl 80% WP @ 12 gm/ 15 litre of water at 3 days after planting are recommended for effective weed control in Garlic along with one weeding by hand at 25-30 days after planting and second hand weeding 40-45 Days After Planting in crop.
  • The use of rice straw mulch or wheat straw mulch is recommended to enhance the yield also.
  • The combined application of Oxyfluorfen 23.5 % EC @ 1ml/l + quizalofop ethyl 5 % EC @ 2 ml/L at 20-25 days after planting and having at 30-35 days after planting good control of weed and higher bulb yield.

Management of Termites in Wheat

02/11/2019Posted on

Management of Termites in Wheat:-

  • Termites damage the crop soon after sowing and sometimes near maturity.
  • They feed on roots, stems of growing plants, even dead tissues of plant feeding on cellulose.
  • The damaged plants dry up completely and are easily pulled out.
  • The plants damaged at later stages give rise to white ears.
  • Infestation is heavy under unirrigated conditions and in the fields where un-decomposed farmyard manure is applied before sowing.

Management –

  • Apply deep ploughing before sowing.
  • Use well rotten FYM in field.
  • Fill kerosine in mound of termite.
  • The seed should be treated with Chlorpyriphos (20% EC) @ 5 ml/kg of seed before sowing.
  • Broadcast Chlorpyriphos (20% EC)@ 1 litre/Acre with any fertilizer.

Pod Borer in Gram(Chickpea)

01/11/2019Posted on

Pod borer is a pest that causes heavy damage to chickpea. In fact, this pest is reported to have caused yield loss of up to 21%. The pest is reported to cause about 50 to 60%  damage to the chick pods. Apart from chickpea the pest also attacks pigeon pea, sunflower, cotton, chili, sorghum, groundnut, tomato, and other agricultural and horticultural crops. It is a devastating pest that attacks pulses and oilseeds.

Infestation: The infestation starts usually a fortnight after germination and becomes serious just after the initiation of flower bud coupled with cloudy and humid weather. Females lay several small white eggs. Upon hatching in 3-4 days the caterpillars feed on the leaves for a short time and subsequently attack the pods. A full-grown caterpillar is about 34 mm long, greenish to brownish in color with scattered, short, white hair and buries itself in the soil to make an earthen cell inside which it pupates. The life cycle is completed in about 30-45 days. The pest completes eight generations in a year.

Nutrient Management in Wheat

01/11/2019Posted on

Nutrient Management in Wheat:- Nutrients play an important role in wheat production. Well rotted farmyard manure (FYM) or compost should be applied at the rate of 6 to 8 tons/acre. after every two years. The FYM and compost will keep the soil physical properties in good condition-

  • Apply well rotten FYM compost 15-20 ton per hac.in every 2-year interval.
  • Use 88 kg Urea, 160 Kg SSP and 40 kg MOP per Acre.
  • Apply urea in below three doses.
  1. 44 kg quantity during seed sowing.
  2. 22 kg during the first irrigation.
  3. Remain 22 kg dose during second irrigation.
  • If the full quantity of phosphorus is added in the Kharif season, then add half the amount of phosphorus in Rabi.
  • When you have a minimum of two irrigation may be used 175:250:35-40 Kg/ha. quantity of Urea, SSP and MOP.
  • Use the full quantity of NPK at a time of basal dose on unirrigated condition.
  • If wheat sowing is done in mid-December, then 25% of the nitrogen should be reduced.

Nutrient Management in Okra Crop

29/10/2019Posted on

Nutrient Management in Okra Crop:-

  • The fertilizer dose depends upon the fertility and amount of organic matter applied to the crop.
  • About 20-25 t/ha of farm yard manure is mixed at the time of land preparation.
  • Generally application of 80 kg N (200 kg Urea), 60 kg P205 (400 kg Single Super Phosphate) and 50 kg K20 (100 kg MOP) is recommended for optimum yield.
  • Half dose of N and full dose of P and K are applied at the time of planting.
  • The balance half dose of Nitrogen is given 30 days after sowing followed by earthing up operation.
  • For Hybrids Varieties the recommended dose is 150 kg Nitrogen (300 kg Urea), 120 kg P205 (800 kg Single Super Phosphate) and 75 kg K20 (125 kg Muriate of Potash).
  • Out of this dose 30% of Nitrogen and 50% of Phosphorus and Potassium is applied as basal dose.
  • Remaining 50% of Phosphorus and 40% of Nitrogen and 25% of Potash is applied as first top dressing four weeks after sowing.
  • Balance quantity of 30% of Nitrogen and 25 % of Potash is applied as second top dressing about seven weeks after sowing.
