What is Integrated Plant management

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.
Select pest resistant and disease resistant varieties for sowing.
Sow the crop by adopting the crop cycle, avoid sowing the crops of the same family in the same field.
Sow the field by plowing the field properly and with seed treatment and soil treatment.

Milk producers need good quality green fodder throughout the year to produce good quality milk.
If milk producers cultivate green maize for green fodder, then these animals get fodder for only 10 to 30 days.
But if milk producers use silage, then animals get green fodder throughout the year.
Using silage reduces labor costs for the farmer
Crops such as maize, oats, millet, lucerne are perfect for silage making.

Many types of cows are found in India,
One of such breeds is Mewati Cow, which is found in the Mewat region.
This breed is found in Bharatpur district of Rajasthan, Mathura in western Uttar Pradesh and Faridabad and Gurugram districts of Haryana.
The neck of Mewati breed animals is normal white.
Its face is long and thin. Eyes are bulging and black in color, the upper lip is thick and hanging, the upper part of the nose appears to be shrunken.

Due to the rising prices of diesel and electricity, the expenditure on the use of water pumps by farmers through these means is very high. That is why farmers can use solar powered pumps as their alternative.
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.
symptoms of this is, this insect sucks the sap from the shoot over the roots of wheat plants, due to which the plant turns yellow and starts to dry gradually. Initially yellow plants appear in the fields.
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.
Thus the root aphid can be controlled by taking control measures from time to time.

40 days after sowing of potato crop, measures should be taken to increase tuber size
To grow tubers, first spraying should be done @ 00:52:34 @ 1 kg / acre.
After this, a second spray should be done 10-15 before harvesting of potatoes @ 00:00:50 @ 1 kg / acre and with this paclobutrazol @ 40% SC @ 30 ml / acre.

In the gram crop, fruiting starts in the stage of 55-60 days, at this time there is more attack of insect and fungal diseases.
Heavy fruit production is very important in gram crops so for this timely nutrition management is very important.
For fungal diseases: Spray Thiophene methyl 70% WP @ 300 gram/acre or Propiconazole 25% EC@ 200 ml/acre
As a biological treatment use Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gram/acre.
For pest management: Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG @ 100 gram/acre or Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 60 ml/acre or Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC @ 600 ml/acre
Use Bavaria Basiana @ 250 gram/acre as a biological treatment.
For nutrition management: 00:00:50 @ 1kg/acre.

In wheat crops, in 60 -90 days, spikes develop and grains get filled in spikes.
In this stage crop management is very important in wheat crop.
For this use homobrassinolide 0.04%@ 100 ml/acre+ 00:52:34@ 1 kg/acre.
At the place of 00:52:34 use majersol @ 5 kg/acre as soil treatment and 800 gram/acre use as spray.
At the stage of spike development in the wheat crops there is heavy attack of fungus, to control use following products.
For fungal disease use Hexaconazole 5% SC @ 400 ml/acre.

Brinjal leaves turn yellow due to change in weather and attacks of pests and fungus.
At this stage the brinjal leaves look scorched.
Yellowing on brinjal leaves starts at the edges of leaves due to fungal infection.
Insects suck the cell sap of the leaves, causing yellowing in the leaves.
Nutrients deficiency also makes the leaf appear yellow.
If it is due to fungus use Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP @ 300 gram/acre or Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP @ 300 gram/acre
If the reason is nutritional problem use Seaweed@ 400 ml/acre or Humic acid@ 100 gram/acre
If it is due to insect use Profenofos 40 % + Cypermethrin 4% EC@ 400 ml/acre or Fipronil 40 % + Imidacloprid 40 % WG@ 80 gram/acre.

Garlic plants produce large leaves to increase the photosynthetic process and store the necessary substances to increase the size of garlic bulbs .
Nutritional management in plants at this stage is important for improving the bulb size.
Calcium Nitrate @ 10 kg/acre + Potash @ 20 kg/acre use 60-70 days in sowing.
After this 120-140 days of sowing use Paclobutrazol 40%SC @ 30 ml/acre.
