- Zinc stimulates enzyme activity in plants and plays an important role in the production of hormones.
- Zinc is helpful in protein synthesis and the lack of zinc in the pulse crop decreases the rate of protein accumulation, leading to a decligreatlyod formation.
- It acts as a catalyst in chlorophyll production, thus helping plants in food production.
- Zinc promotes the use of phosphorus and nitrogen by plants.
- Due to its deficiency, the size of the leaves remains small, it curls and yellow stripes appear between its veins.

- It is very important to have good and healthy seeds for good crop production.
- The farmer collects some of the new seeds from the latest produce for sowing next time.
- It is very important to properly grade the seeds before keeping these seeds in the storage.
- To do this, the variety of seeds that have been selected to be cultivated should be sown in a good field, apart from the rest of the crop.
- Sow the seeds only after soil treatment and seed treatment.
- To keep the crop free from pests and diseases throughout the crop cycle, spray chemicals from time to time.
- This way farmers can produce disease free seeds.

- Particles of mycorrhiza fungi attach microscopically with the roots of watermelon plants, and provide the nutrients required for root growth and development.
- Especially elements like phosphorus, potash, etc. help increase the growth of watermelon crops.
- Mycorrhizal fungus helps the watermelon plant to absorb more nutrients and water from the soil.
- Mycorrhiza fungi increase the tolerance of the plant to withstand various types of environmental stresses.
- In addition, mycorrhiza fungi play an important role in the absorption of all types of essential nutrients in soil.

- Watermelon is a shallow rooted crop, hence intercultural activities can be done very comfortably.
- Often,weeding is done between the rows of crops. Weeds should not grow too much in the field, in the event of large weeds growing in the field, they should be uprooted by hand and separated.
- Spray chemical weedicide like Pendimethalin 30% CS @ 700 ml/acre during 1 to 3 days before germination of weeds .
- For control of narrow leafed weeds use Quizalofop ethyl 5% EC @ 400 ml / acre at 2-4 leaf stage with or Propaquizafop 10% EC @ 400 ml/acre at 10 to 25 days of crop stage.

- The problem of re-germination in garlic crops is being observed nowadays.
- This problem is caused by over-irrigation and irregular irrigation.
- This problem is also seen in garlic crops due to excessive use of nitrogenous fertilizers.
- To prevent this, Boron @ 20% @ 200 gram/acre + 00:00:50 @ 1 kg/acre.
- Spray paclobutrazol 23% WW @ 50 ml / acre 15 days before harvesting garlic.

- Mealybug is a type of sucking insect which invades leaves or twigs and sucks their sap.
- This insect is like white cottony appearance . adult of the insect that affects the growth or development of the crop or plant by sucking the necessary nutrients from the plant in large numbers.
- To control this pest use Thiamethoxam @ 12.6% + Lambda Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC @ 80 ml/acre or Fipronil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG @ 200 gram/acre
- UseBeauveria Bassiana @ 250gram/acre as a biological treatment.

- Rhizobium bacteria is found in the roots of moong plants which causes atmospheric nitrogen fixation and increases crop yield.
- Use of Rhizobium culture produces fast nodules in pulses, which increases 20-30 % yield of Moong, Gram, Pigeonpea and Urad and 50-60% increases soybean yield.
- The use of Rhizobium culture increases about 30-40 kg of nitrogen per hectare in the land.
- Seed treatment in moong is done with 5-10 gram of Rhizobium culture while the Soil treatment is done by mixing 1 kg / acre for pre-sowing with 50 kg FYM.
- The nitrogen deposited by Rhizobium bacteria present in the roots of the pulse crop is used in the next crop, which reduces the need of nitrogen in the next crop.

- Soil testing can accurately detect the elements present in the soil. After their information, the available nutrients in the soil are found and accordingly the quantity of manure and fertilizer is recommended.
- That is, after soil testing, by giving a balanced amount of fertilizer, more benefit can be taken in farming and fertilizer cost can be reduced.
- Soil testing can detect soil pH, dissolved conductivity, organic carbon as well as major nutrients and micronutrients.
- The normal, acidic or alkaline nature of soil can be ascertained from soil pH value. Soil pH decreasing or increasing affects the growth of plants.
- Soil pH After finding out, suitable crop varieties are recommended in problem prone areas which have the ability to tolerate acidification and alkalinity.
- Soil pH between values 6.5 to 7.5 Nutrients are most commonly consumed by plants, and lime for acidic soil and gypsum for alkaline soil is recommended.
- Electrical conductivity can be known by soil testing, this gives information about the level of concentration or quantity of salts in the soil.
- Due to high concentration of salts in the soil, there is difficulty in absorption of nutrients by the plants.
- Soil testing can determine the fertility of the soil by testing organic carbon.
- The physical properties of soil such as soil structure, water holding capacity, etc. are increased by organic carbon.
- Organic carbon also prevents the leaching of nutrients.
- In addition, organic carbon is also very useful for the availability, transfer and conversion of nutrients and growth of microorganisms.
- Depending on the fertility of the soil, it helps to implement agricultural production and other useful schemes.
- Therefore, all these information shows how important soil testing is.

- Yellow vein mosaic is a major viral disease caused in okra.
- It spreads due to white fly and causes 25-30% damage.
- The symptoms of this disease are seen in all the stages of the plant.
- Due to this, the veins of the leaves become yellow and a mesh-like structure is formed on the leaves.
- To prevent this,use Acetamiprid 20% SP @ 100 gram/acre or Diafenthiuron 50 % WP @ 250 gram/acre or pyripoxifan 10% + Bifenthrin 10% EC @ 300 ml/acre
- Use Beauveria Bassiana @ 250gram/acre as a biological treatment.
