Benefits of earthing up equipment in turmeric, ginger, banana and sugarcane crops

In Turmeric, Ginger, Banana, Sugarcane crop earthing up is very important intercultural process
To make this process easier for farmers, Gramophone presents an ‘Intercultivator’.
This machine is very beneficial in the process of earthing up Turmeric, Ginger, Banana, Sugarcane crops.
This machine has a four stroke engine and it turns the soil inside the ground from 4 centimeters to 5.7 centimeters in depth.
It is a diesel powered machine, its diesel tank’s capacity is up to 3.5 liters.

The germination stage of watermelon crop is in 10-15 days after sowing of watermelon.
In early stages of germination, control of fungal diseases is very important in watermelon crops.
Use Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250gram/acre or Trichoderma viride @ 500gram/ acre use as biological treatment.
Spray Chlorothalonil @ 75% WP @ 400 gram/acre as a chemical treatment
In the germination stage, there is a possibility of disease attacks like yellowing of leaves, burning of plants etc.

Seed treatment reduces the chances of seed-borne and soil-borne diseases and thus increases seed germination.
Treat seeds with Carboxin 37.5% + Thiram 37.5% at the rate of 2.5 g / kg to control harmful fungi found in soil.
For its biological treatment, treat seeds with Trichoderma viride at the rate of 5-10g / kg seed. or
treat the seeds with Pseudomonas fluorescens at the rate of 5-10 g/ kg seed.

PDM139 Samrat (Prasad), PDM139 Samrat (Eagle), PDM139 Samrat (Awasthi): These three are considered to be highly advanced varieties of moong. Their harvest period is 55 to 60 days. These varieties are the main varieties of summer and spring season. The total production of these varieties is at the rate of 5 to 6 quintals. These varieties are resistant to the Yellow Mosaic Virus and have a bright green color.
IPM205 Virat: This variety is also an improved variety of moong and has a crop duration of 52 to 55 days. This variety is the main variety of summer and spring season and its total production is from 4 to 5 quintals. Plants of this variety are straight and dwarf and have large grains.
Hum-1 (Arihant): It is a very advanced variety of moong. Its harvest period is 60 to 65 days. This variety is the main variety of summer and spring season and its total production varies from 3 to 4 quintals.

soil treatment in okra at the time of sowing protects the crop from harmful fungal diseases and pests found in the soil
By adopting this process at the time of sowing, the germination percentage of okra seeds is very good.
Soil treatment with FYM or vermi compost makes the soil well ventilated
By treating the soil with any available chemical or bio-fertilizer, nutrients can be easily replenished in the soil.
Crop production increases to a great extent and crops are disease free.
The germinating plant gets protection from the fungal diseases that occur in the germination stage.

By treating seeds of okra before sowing, seeds can be protected from many types of pests and diseases.
Seed treatment also promotes proper germination of okra seeds.
Chemical treatment: use Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP @ 2.5 gram /kg Seed or Carboxin 37.5% + Thiram 37.5% DS @ 2.5 gram/kg Seed or Insecticide Imidacloprid 48% FS @ 4 ml/kg Seed or Thiamethoxam 30% FS @ 4 ml / kg seed.
Biological treatment: Treat seed with Trichoderma viride @ 5 gram + PSB bacteria @ 2 gram / kg seed or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 5 gram/kg seed.
While doing seed treatment, take special care to use the treated seeds for sowing on the same day after treatment. Do not store the treated seeds.

Alternaria leaf spot disease is seen in watermelon after sowing of the crop.
In this disease, brown colored round spots appear on the leaves and these spots grow slowly and eventually the affected leaves dry up and fall.
For prevention of this disease, spray Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP @ 300 gram/acre or Ketazine @ 300 gram/acre
Spray of Trichoderma viride @ 500 gram/acre as a biological treatment.

A specially prepared ‘Moong Samriddhi Kit’ for the moong crop will become the safety shield of your crop.
This kit includes many products, such as PK bacteria consortia, Rhizobium bacteria, Trichoderma viride, humic acid, seaweed, amino acids and mycorrhiza.
Total weight of this kit is 5 kg and is sufficient for 1 acre.
Before sowing ‘Soil Samriddhi Kit’ mix with 50-100 kg FYM and broadcast in an open field.
This kit provides all the essential nutrients to the crops.

In summer, the farmer adds cow dung to the field, but the cow dung manure should be properly decomposed.
The cow dung that the farmer uses to put in the field normally is not properly enriched
Dung manure should be thoroughly decomposed before being used in the field
To keep sufficient moisture in cow dung, it is very necessary to lightly irrigate after broadcasting cow dung in the field.
After broadcasting the dung the field must be plowed, mixing the dung manure with the soil.

Bloat is a common problem in ruminants.
Bloating occurs when the gas produced in the stomach of the animal, which usually passes through their mouth, gets stuck due to indigestion.
This causes the animal to have difficulty in breathing.
The animal stops ruminating.
The belly of the animal swells on the left side.
The animal stops eating and drinking water and starts lying on the ground and banging its feet.
This disease can be prevented by giving the animal 400 to 500 ml mustard oil along with 30-60 ml turpentine oil.
