Keep aside waste usable as animal fodder.
Nowadays there are many products available in the market which can be used to convert such waste into manure.

Integrated plant management means managing plants properly without harming them.
Under integrated plant management, care is taken to ensure that there is no harm to the insects, which is beneficial for the crop by the use of any chemical.

In the solar water pump system, electricity is received either through one or several photovoltaic (PV) panels.
This solar powered pumping system consists of a solar panel. This solar panel provides energy to an electric motor. This motor powers the pump.
The maintenance cost of these pumps is also very low and can also be used for a long time.

At present, due to adverse weather conditions, there are heavy attacks of root aphid in wheat crops.
The identification of the root aphid insect is that the insect is light yellow to dark yellow. When uprooted wheat plants, this insect is easily visible at the shoot over the roots.

Soil treatment: – At present time at some places, sowing of wheat is continuous or is going to be over, at this time it is very important to do soil treatment before sowing of wheat, for this, use Thiamethoxam 25% WG @ 200-250 gram / acre , as a biological treatment, use Bavaria Basiana @ 500 gram / acre.
Seed treatment: – For seed treatment , use Imidacloprid 48% FS @ 1.0 ml / kg of seed or Thiamethoxam 30% FS @ 4 ml / kg of seeds as a seed treatment.
Spray: – Thiamethoxam 25% WG @ 100 gram / acre or Imidacloprid 17.8% SL @ 100 gram / acre.
