How to prevent scab disease in potato crops

This disease is caused by a fungus in potato crops.
The effect of this disease is seen in a large amount on potato tubers.
Dark brown scabs spots emerge on potato tubers which are coarse when felt by the hands.
Tubers suffering from this disease are not edible.
For the prevention of this disease, use Thiophanate Methyl 70% W/P @ 300 gram/ acre or Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP @ 300 gram/acre.
As a biological treatment, use Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gram/acre.
For the effective control of this disease, seed treatment before sowing is very important.

It is a very harmful pest and sometimes causes severe damage to the crop.
Its larva is 25–30 mm long, yellowish green with five horizontal yellow lines.
It has six pairs of black and yellow spots on its outer skin.
This caterpillar harms the crop by making circular holes in the leaves.
Sometimes this caterpillar begins eating the leaves from the edges or the middle part of the leaves.
For control Spray Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG @ 100 gram/acre or Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 % SC @ 60 ml/acre.
As a biological treatment use Beauveria Bassiana @ 250 gram/acre.

Organic products do not leave their residues in crops and they also do not pollute the environment.
Organic products increase the activity of micronutrients in soil
Increases fertility of soil and increases water holding capacity of soil
Organic products are used at lower prices and lower quantities than chemical products.
This product is very helpful in spreading the roots of crops in the soil.

White rot: in onion and garlic, white rot disease is caused by a fungus called Sclerosium sepi veeram or Sclerosium rolf sai.
Symptoms of this disease: The upper part of onion / garlic rotten near the soil and the white mold forms on the infected part and above the ground, a hard dotted structure is formed like light brown mustard seeds, which are called sclerosia. The infected plants then proceed to wither and then dry up.
Chemical treatment: for prevention of these disease use Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% @ 300 gram/acre or Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP @ 300 gram/acre or Chlorothalonil 75% WP @ 250 gram/acre or Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP @ 300 gram/acre
Biological treatment: use Pseudomonas Fluorescens@ 250gram/acre or Trichoderma Viride@ 500 gram/acre

In the onion crop, in 50-60 days, the crop can be protected from the pest and fungal diseases as well as by supplementing nutrients.
For insect Spray thiamethoxam 12.6% + lambda cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC @ 80 ml/ acre
For diseases, use chlorothalonil 75%WP@ 400 gram/acre.
Use calcium nitrate @ 10 kg/acre + potash @ 25 kg/acre as soil treatment to manage nutrition in onion crop in 50-60 days
Nutrient management in onion crop to be sprayed as micronutrient @ 250 ml/ acre

Fertilizer management is very important for good production of garlic crops.
Tuber formation in garlic crops is very good if theFertilizer is supplied at the right time.
Use calcium nitrate@ 10 kg/acre + potash@ 25 kg/acre as soil treatment to manage nutrition in onion crop in 50 days.

The staking of plants proves beneficial in tomato cultivation.
In tomato cultivation, staking requires bamboo poles, iron-thin wire and twine for fastening the plants.
Ten feet high bamboo poles are erected at a distance of ten feet along the ridge. These poles are tied with iron wire at a height of two-two feet.
After that the plant is tied with wire, with the help of twine, which makes these plants grow upwards. The height of this plant goes up to eight feet,
This not only makes the plant stronger, it also makes the fruit better. The fruit is also protected from rotting.
At the time of staking in tomato cultivation, take special care that the plants are not broken.

In wheat crops, it is very necessary to supply nutrients for crop protection in 25-30 days.
In this stage of wheat crop, nutrient management is done in two ways, soil treatment and spray management.
Urea @ 40 kg/acre + zinc sulfate @ 5 kg/acre + sulfur 90% WG @ 5 kg/acre as soil treatment
For the control of insects that are found in the soil, thiamethoxam 25% WG @ 250 gram/acre used as soil treatment
As spray use Gibberellic acid @ 300 ml/acre or humic acid @ 100 gram/acre or amino acid @ 250 ml/acre
Spray 19:19:19@ 1 kg/acre or 20:20:20@ 1 kg/acre

Potato crop starts to form tubers in 40-45 days.
Due to Rabi season crop, fungal disease and pest infestation occurs a lot
For insect management use Bifenthrin 10 % Ec@ 300 ml/acre or Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG@ 100 gram/acre
For fungal disease management use Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP@ 300 gram/acre or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gram/acre
For nutrition management use 00:52:34 @ 1 kg/acre + micronutrient@ 250 gram/acre

Okra is one of the main vegetable crop
That is why it is very important to manage nutrition during the flowering stage of okra.
There is a problem of flower drop due to lack of nutrients in okra crop
Due to excessive flowering, crop production is greatly affected.
Due to excessive flower drop, fruit production is greatly affected in the okra crop.
Use Micro-nutrients @ 250gram/acre.
To prevent flower drop,use Homobrassinolide @ 100 ml/acre or Paclobutrazol 40% SC @ 30 ml/acre
