- It is very necessary to prepare the main field before the onion plant is transplanting in the main field.
- At the time of preparing the field, take special care that it is necessary to supply all the nutrients in the field.
- For field preparation, use FYM @ 4-6 tons/acre, replenish the carbon content in the soil
- SSP @ 60 kg/acre to provide phosphorus, calcium, sulfur elements broadcast in the field.
- DAP @ 25 kg/acre for good growth and development of roots.
- Potash @ 40 kg/acre should be broadcast in the field for crop and soil.
- Along with this, must use the Gramophone’s special onion samridhi kit.
Risk of fungal diseases in crops due to weather change, learn safety measures
As the weather is constantly changing, onion, garlic, potato and vegetable crops are highly affected due to this effect, due to this effect, the yellowing of leaves appear first in the crop and the leaves of the crop are dried from the edges. In vegetable crops, there is an infection of late blight , leaf spot disease, downy mildew, etc. Use of the following products is very necessary to avoid crop damage due to adverse weather conditions
Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% Wp @ 300 gram/acre or Mancozeb 64% + Metalaxyl 4% Wp @ 500 gram/acre or Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% Sc@ 300 ml/acre or Thiophanate Methyl 70% W/P @ 300 gram/acre or Chlorothalonil 75% WP @ 400 gram/acre
With this use Pseudomonas Fluorescens @ 250 gram/acre remember one thing don’t use Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% Wp with Pseudomonas Fluorescens
ShareHow to protect crops from caterpillar due to the changing weather
Due to the sudden change in the weather, in the rabi season vegetable crops and potato, wheat, gram etc. crops, there is a high probability of attacks of the caterpillar because in this low temperature and high humidity, the egg laying is start in insects and they do a lot of damage to the crops by eating crop leaves, stems, fruits, flowers.
In this type of weather there is a heavy attack of green caterpillars, spodoptera lutera, fruit borer etc for control of these use following products is very effective.
Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% Sc@ 60 ml/acre or Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9 Sc@ 600 ml/acre or Profenofos 40 % + Cypermethrin 4% Ec@ 400 ml/acre or Emamectin Benzoate 5% Sg@ 100 gram/acre. With these spray use Beauveria Bassiana @ 250 gram/acre
ShareThrips management in Tomato crop
- Thrips: They are small and soft-bodied insects and can be found on a leaf’s surface, mostly on the lower surface of leaves. With their sharp mouthparts, they suck the sap of the leaves, buds, and flowers, which causes the leaves to turn brown on the edges. The affected plant appears dry and the leaf becomes discolored and curls upwards.
- For the control of thrips, it is necessary to different chemicals for every spray
- Management: For the control of thrips Fipronil 5% SC @ 400 ml / acre or Lambda Cyhalothrin 4.9% CS @ 200 ml/acre or Fipronil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG @ 40 gram/acre or Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC @ 80 ml/acre or Spinosad 45% SC @ 75 ml/acre.
- Biological treatment: – As a biological treatment, spray Beauveria Bassiana @ 500 gram/acre.
Use Nano fertilizer in your crop, you will get many benefits
- A nano fertilizer is a product made with nanoparticles.
- Nano fertilizer is designed to improve nutrient efficiency.
- Nano fertilizer helps increase the production rate and yield.
- Nano fertilizers reduce waste production
- Nano-fertilizer provides nutrients to crops.
- Nano fertilizer helps in converting insoluble nutrients into a better soluble form
Crops benefit from the use of fulvic acids
- Fulvic acid’s most important function is that it friables the soil.
- Due to which the growth of roots is more. It accelerates the process of photosynthesis.
- It increases the greenness and helps in the growth of the branches of the plant.
- It develops tertiary roots of the plant so that the absorption of nutrients from the land can be increased.
- Increase fruits and flowers in the plant. Improves fertility of soil.
- Increases the metabolic activity of the plant. The yield also increases.

ShareField preparation and soil treatment in water melon before sowing
- The land should be properly prepared by ploughing according to the need and it is advisable to make small beds simultaneously.
- In heavy soils, seeds should be sown without a lump. The sandy soil does not require much tillage. 3-4 ploughing is sufficient.
- Watermelon requires fertilizer. For soil treatment, it should be done by using a soil samridhi kit before sowing.
- For this, mix 50 -100 kg FYM or cow dung with compost or field soil, and broadcast it on an empty field before sowing.
- DAP @ 50 kg / acre + SSP @ 75 kg / acre + Potash @ 75 kg / acre broadcast at the time of sowing.
Identification and control of white fly in potato crop
- Symptoms of Whitefly:- This pest causes a lot of damage in potato crops in both the stages of its life cycle i.e. nymph and adult.
- They suck the cell sap out of cotton plant leaves and inhibit plant growth. These insects are also the cause for the secretion known as a sooty mold developed on the plant.
- Potato crops can get completely infected during high infestation and even if the crop is fully developed, there is a chance of infestation of this pest which can cause the leaves of this crop to dry up and fall.
- Management: – For the prevention of this pest, Diafenthiuron 50% SP @ 250 gram/acre or Flonicamid 50% WG @ 60 ml/acre or acetampyrid 20% SP @ 100 gram/acre or Pyriproxyfen 10% + biphenanthrene 10% EC 250 ml/acre
