What are the symptoms of deficiency of micronutrient zinc in crops?

symptoms of deficiency of micronutrient zinc
  • 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.

Importance of mycorrhiza in watermelon

Importance of mycorrhiza in watermelon
  • 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.

  • 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.

Importance of Rhizobium culture in Moong crop

Importance of Rhizobium culture in Moong crop
  • 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.
