03/08/2018Posted on

Disease Free Nursery Raising For Tomato:-

  • Healthy seed should be selected for sowing.
  • The seed should be treated with recommended fungicide before sowing.
  • Continuous raising of nursery in the same plot should be avoided.
  • The top soil of nursery should be treated with carbendazim @ 5 gm/square m. are of the soil and nursery should be drenched with carbendazim @ 2gm/litre of water at fortnightly interval.
  • Soil solarization by spreading 250 gauge polythene sheet over the bed for 30 days before sowing in summer season should be done.
  • Application of bio-control agent tricoderma viride in soil @ 1.2 kg/ha is also found effective to control damping-off to considerable extent.

Control of Fruit fly in Sponge Gourd

31/07/2018Posted on

Fruit fly in Sponge Gourd:-

  • The maggot burrow in to the fruits and suck the sap.
  • Infested fruit decay and drop.
  • The fly mainly prefers tender fruits for egg laying.
  • Ovipositional punctures caused by adults also cause injury on fruits and fruit juice oozes out.
  • This also results in distorted and malformed.
  • The maggots feed on the pulp of fruits as well as on the immature seeds and cause premature dropping of fruits.

Control:-

  • Collected and destroy infected fruits.
  • To prevent egg laying fly traps (Pheromons traps) can be set up in the yield with 1%methyl Engenol or Cintronella oil or vinegar or dextrose or Acetic acid or laetic acid.
  • Cover developing fruits with paper or polythene cover immediately after anthesis pollination.
  • Maize plants grown in rows at a distance of 8-10 cm in sponge gourd field is effective as flies rest on such tall plants.
  • Soil incorporation of cabaryl 10% dust can be made in fruit fly endemic areas.
  • Spraying of Dichlorovas @3ml/lit of water at fortnightly intervals.
  • Deep ploughing to expose hibernating stages.

Management:-

  • Deep summer ploughing
  • Install pheromone traps at a distance of 50 Meter @ 5 traps/ha for each insect pest.
  • Clip terminal shoots on 100 days of crop growth.
  • Spray with Chloropirifos 20% EC @ 750 ml/acre or Quinolphos 25% EC @ 250 ml/acre

  • Severely affected leaves are completely skletonised.

Control

  • For the prevention of diamond back moth, bold mustard should be sown in 2 lines after every 25 lines of cabbage/Cauliflower.

Control of white grubs in Soybean and Groundnut

26/07/2018Posted on

Control of white grubs in Soybean and Groundnut:-

Symptoms of damage:

The grubs feed roots. Grubs feed on fine rootlets, resulting in pale wilted plants, dying in patches.

Management of White grubs:-

  • Bio-Control:- Soil application- For soil insect pest like White Grubs,Termite, Agrotis species etc Mix 2.0 kg to 4.0 kg Metarhizium anisopliae with 50 kg of well decomposed fym/compost/field soil and broadcast in the field of 1 acre at the time of field preparation or in standing crop. Foliar spray – Mix 2.0 kg Metarhizium anisopliae, in 150 – 200 litre of water for spray on insect pest in the standing crop of 1 acre.
  • Spray should be undertaken as a community approach and should be repeated after every rainfall till the middle of July.
  • Spraying the trees close to the field with Chlorpyriphos 20 EC @ 2 ml/lit of water soon after first monsoon showers for 3-4 days in the late evening hours kills the adult beetles and reduces root grub infestation.
  • Seed treatment with chlorpyriphos 20 EC ( 6.5 to 12.5 ml/kg seed) is found effective.
  • In case of severe infestation apply  Carbofuran 3% @ 10 kg/ Acre or Chlorpyrifos 20% EC @ 500 ml/acre or Phorate 10% G @ 10 kg/ha.
