Advantage of rhizobium culture in crops
- The effective strain used in Rhizobium culture increases the healthy nodulation and thereby nitrogen fixation (about 40 to 50 kg. per hectare).
- These bacteria take nitrogen from the air (which plants cannot use) and convert it into a form of nitrogen called ammonium (NH4+), which plants can use.
- About 10 to 15% increase of crop yield can be achieved with the use of this culture.

ShareDowny mildew control in watermelon
- Water soaked lesions appear on undersurface of leaf lamina.
- Angular spots appear on upper surface similar to water-soaked lesions.
- Lesions appear first on the older leaves and progressively on the younger leaves.
- As the lesions expand, they may remain yellow or become dry and brown.
- Affected vines do not set fruit properly.
- Plucking and destroy of affected leaves.
- Spray with Mancozeb 75% WP @ 350-400 gm/acre or Chlorothalonil 75% WP @ 200-250 gm/ acre.
- Crop rotation and sanitation reduces the severity of the disease.

ShareControl measures of root-knot nematode in watermelon
- The female deposits eggs in or on the roots, or in decaying root debris.
- The juveniles hatch from the eggs and move toward root tips or minor wounds. They feed on root tissue.
- The nematode attacks the roots and produces tiny galls.
- The infested plants show symptoms of withering and wilting of leaves.
- They block the movement of nutrients and water in the plant system and subjected to wilt and finally leads to death.
- Growth of the plant is stunted and fruiting capacity adversely affected.
- Yellowing of the foliage and wilting of the upper leaves occurs.
- Do use deep summer ploughing and soil solarization to control root-knot nematode.
- Neem cake @ 200kg/ha for effective control.
- Use Paecilomyces Lilacinus 1 % wp Mix 2 – 4 kg per acre in 50 kg well rotten Fym/compost/vermicompost/field soil and then incorporate in the field at the time of field preparation, sowing/transplanting. for effective control of Root-knot nematodes infection.

ShareSoil preparation for sweet corn
- One summer deep ploughing followed by two or three harrowing with disc or tines and two or three planking should be given to prepare a well-pulverized seedbed.
- Use FYM @ 3 -4 t / acre on the last plowing.
- After this, lines and ferries should be laid with a difference of 75 cm. Seedbed preparation and seed handling are important for all types of sweet corn.

ShareControl of leaf curl disease in tomato
- Curling of leaves, reduction in leaf size, excessive branching and stunted plant growth takes place.
- Older leaves become leathery and brittle. Rouge out the infected plants.
- Sow 5-6 rows of barrier crops like maize, jowar or bajra around main tomato field at least 2 months before transplanting seedling in the field.
- The disease can be checked by control of vector (whitefly) by spraying the crop with dimethoate 30% EC @ 300 ml/acre at fortnight interval.

ShareSoil preparation for cauliflower
- 1 to 2 corrosive ploughing by a soil turning plough followed by 3 to 4 ploughing with desi plough are enough for it.
- Well rotten compost or farmyard manure is mixed in soil at the time of ploughing.
- If the soil is infested with nematodes Carbofuran @ 10 kg/Acre.
- Ridges and furrow type of layout is used for crop.
