How to manage fruit fly outbreak in bitter gourd

  • The maggot burrow into the fruits and suck the sap.

  • Infested fruits decay and drop.

  • The fly mainly prefers tender fruits for egg laying.

  • Ovipositional punctures caused by adults also cause injury to fruits and fruit juices ooze 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.

    Management of fruit fly in bitter gourd

  • Collect and destroy infested fruits.

  • To prevent egg laying, fly traps(pheromone traps) can be set up in the field with 1% Methyl Eugenol or Citronella oil or Vinegar or Dextrose or Acetic acid or Lactic 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 the field are effective as flies rest on such tall plants.

  • Deep ploughing to expose hibernating stages.

  • Flubendiamide 8.33 % + Deltamethrin 5.56 % w/w SC @ 100-125 ml/acre.

Root rot problem and preventive measures due to excessive water logging in soybean crops

Root rot problem and preventive measures due to excessive water logging in soybean crops

Waterlogging refers to a condition when water is present in the field in excess of its optimum requirement. Excess water in the field causes the following losses :-

Due to excessive water logging in soybean crops, there is a hindrance in air circulation and a fall in soil temperature, as well as the activity of beneficial bacteria decreases, and the nitrogen fixation process is not done properly, due to which the roots of the plants are completely destroyed. Air, water, nutrients and free space are not available in quantity. And due to excessive water logging, harmful salts get collected due to which the problem of root rot is seen.

Drainage is necessary to reduce water logging in the field. It is a crop that can neither tolerate drought nor can tolerate excessive water. Therefore, for drainage, a drain should be prepared at the time of sowing and in case of waterlogging in the field, make additional drainage drains and take the water out from the field.

Increasing outbreak of downy mildew in cauliflower

  • The stem shows dark brown, depressed lesions which later develop downy growth of the fungus.

  • On leaves, purplish-brown spots appear on the under surface followed by the appearance of downy growth on such lesions.

  • It causes damage to curd, producing curd-rot.

    How to Control Downy Mildew in Cauliflower:

  • Proper water management so that there is no excess moisture on the soil surface.

  • Carmanova (Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP) @ 300-400 gm/acre or

  • Novaxyl (Metalaxyl 8%+ Mancozeb 64% WP) @ 1kg gm/acre..

  • Follow the crop cycle and keep the field clean.

Identification and control measures of aphids in cotton crops

12/08/2024Posted on
Identification and control measures of aphids in cotton crops

Aphid :- Aphid is a small insect that sucks the sap of leaves. The young and adults of this insect are greenish-yellow in color, which are found in innumerable numbers on the lower surface of the leaves, which suck the sap of the leaves. As a result, the leaves shrink and the color of the leaves becomes yellow. Later the leaves become stiff and dry and fall off after some time. Plants on which there is an outbreak of aphid, that plant does not develop properly and the plant appears to be diseased.

Control Measures:-

  • For the control of this pest, spray  Marshal (Carbosulfan 25% EC) @ 500 ml or Novaceta (Acetamiprid 20% SC) @ 20 gm  or KRI-March (Buprofezine 25% SC) @ 400 ml + Silico Maxx @ 50 ml, per acre 150 -200 liters of water.

  • For biological control, spray Briged B (BEAUVERIA BASSIANA 1.15% WP) @1 kg/acre @ 150-200 liters of water.

  • Apart from this, farmers should install yellow sticky traps @ 8-10 per acre, in the field to report pest infestation. This will indicate the pest outbreak, on the basis of which the farmers can save the crop from pest infestation by adopting the above mentioned measures.

How to control the outbreak of termites in horticulture crops

  • The problem of termites is seen in horticultural crops like pomegranate, mango, guava, Jamun, lemon, orange, papaya, amla etc.

  • Insects tunnel into the ground and feed plant roots. When the outbreak is high, they also eat the stem and form a soil-like structure.

  • In summer, deep ploughing in the soil to destroy termites and always use good rotten manure (FYM).

  • 1 kg Beauveria bassiana should be mixed with 25 kg FYM before sowing.

  • Fill the termite mound with kerosene so that all other insects along with the termite queen die.

  • Use chlorpyrifos 50 EC @ 250 ml per 10 litres of water in the holes made on the stems by the termites and add the same medicine near the roots of the tree in 50 ml per 10 litres of water.

This is how to control the problem of flowers and Square dropping in cotton crop

11/08/2024Posted on
This is how to control the problem of flowers and Square dropping in cotton crop

There can be many reasons for the dropping of flowers and squares in the cotton crop. Due to obstruction in the action of photosynthesis in any way, there is also the problem of the fall of squares and flowers. Water logging in the field during the flowering stage increases the rate of flower drop. Excess water in the soil affects the movement of air, which adversely affects both flowers and fruits. Due to the deficiency of zinc and boron in the plant, flowers and fruits also fall. In the stage of flowers and fruits, the presence of clouds in the sky for a long time or the absence of sunlight for many days affects the flowers. Adequate sunlight is an important factor. A high number of plants per unit is also a reason for flower and fruit drop. Excessive use of nitrogen promotes vegetative growth, as a result of which flowers and squares fall, due to the presence of pests or diseases, flowers and fruits also fall prematurely. Sometimes they also fall due to hormonal imbalances in the plant. To save flowers from dropping and for good balls:-

* Take spray of Homobrassinolide 0.04% w/w at 100-120 ml./acre.

* Use Seaweed Vigormaxx Gel Gold @ 400 gm/acre.

* Take a spray of micronutrient Nutriful Maxx @ 250ml/acre.

    Control of Fusarium wilt in cotton crop:-

  • Adopt a six-year crop rotation.

  • Level up after deep ploughing (6-7 inches).

  • Use disease-free seed.

  • Seed treatment with 2.5 g/kg Carmanova (Carbendazim 12%+ Mancozeb 63% WP)

The problem and prevention of bacterial stalk rot in maize crops

10/08/2024Posted on
The problem and prevention of bacterial stalk rot in maize crops

It is a disease most prevalent in areas with high rainfall. The middle leaves of the plant wither and start drying from the top of the plant. At the same time a soft rot develops in the stalk. Which rapidly spreads to the lower parts of the stem and smells bad. Due to which the stem becomes weak, its top hangs down. The cluster of leaves of such a top part can be easily separated from the stem by pulling, the plant falls from the rotten part.

Preventive Measures

For biological control, spray Monas Curb (Pseudomonas fluorescens) @ 500 gm/acre @ 150-200 Ltr of water.

Onion crop will be damaged due to Damping off disease, know how to prevent

09/08/2024Posted on
Onion crop will be damaged due to Damping off disease

  • High soil moisture and moderate temperature along with high humidity, especially in the rainy season leads to the development of the disease.

  • Pre-emergence damping off results in seed and seedling rot before these emerge out of the soil.

  • Post-emergence damping off results in pathogen attack on the collar region of seedlings on the surface of the soil.

  • The collar portion rots and ultimately the seedling collapses and dies.

  • Healthy seeds should be selected for sowing.

  • Spray of Carmanova (Carbendazim 12%+ Mancozeb 63% WP) @ 500gm/Acre.
