Benefits of fertilizer management in wheat crop

06/12/2020 Monday January 11th, 2021

The production of wheat crops can be increased to a large extent by using the right fertilizers at the right time.
Fertilizer management is done in three stages in wheat crop 1. at the time of sowing 2. Management in 20 -30 days of sowing 3. Fertilizer management in 50 -60 days of sowing
Fertilizer management at the time of sowing improves germination of wheat crop and provides uniform growth to the plant.
The Management in 20 -30 days of sowing improves good root growth and development of tillers .
By managing fertilizer in 50-60 days of sowing, the earhead emerges well and milk fills well in the grains and the production of grains is very good.

Importance of Zinc Soluble Bacteria in Cucumber

05/12/2020 Saturday December 5th, 2020

Zinc bacteria creates soluble organic acids in soil that help to convert insoluble zinc into soluble zinc.
Soluble zinc is easily available to the plants than its insoluble variant, it effectively protects the plants from many diseases, their use increases the yield and also improves the soil health.
Zinc is required as a catalyst in various metallic enzymes in plants and for metabolic activities.
Plays an important role in plant growth and development
Gramophone provides zinc bacteria by the name of Taba-G and SKB ZnSB.

Measures to control root knot nematode at the time of sowing in water melon

05/12/2020 Monday January 11th, 2021

The female of the root knot nematode lays eggs inside the root, or above the root.
Newborns nematodes after hatching out of their eggs move towards the root. They consume root cells. And form knot in the roots
Nematodes affect the Growth of plants leaving the plant underdeveloped.
The color of the leaves becomes light yellow.
The plant dries up and dies when there is heavy infestation.
To control this, do deep plowing of land in the summer season.
Use neem cake at the rate of 80-100 kg per acre.
Effective control of root knot nematodes is also done by using Pacelomycaceus linaceous 1% WP 2–4 kg per acre of mixed with well rotten dung manure at the time of field preparation.

Importance of Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria in watermelon crop

04/12/2020 Friday December 4th, 2020

These bacteria are helpful in providing phosphorus as well as micronutrients like Mn, Mg, Fe, Mo, B, Zn and Cu.
Helps to grow roots rapidly, so that plants get water and nutrients easily.
PSB produces certain organic acids such as malic, succinic, fumaric, citric, tartaric acid and acetic acid. These acids increase the availability of phosphorus.
Enhances immunity against diseases and drought.
Its use reduces the need for phosphatic fertilizer by 25 – 30%.

How to control the late blight disease in potatoes

04/12/2020 Monday January 11th, 2021

In this disease, irregular shaped spots are formed on the leaves.
Which causes the early fall of leaves, due to these spots, a brown layer is formed on the leaves which affect the photosynthesis process of the plant.
As the process of photosynthesis is affected, the plants are unable to produce food, stunting the growth of the plant and the plant dries prematurely.
Chemical treatment:-Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC @ 300 ml/acre or Chlorothalonil 75% WP @ 400 gram/acre or Ketazin 48% EC @ 300 ml/acre or Metalaxyl 4% + Mancozeb 64% WP @ 600 gram / acre
Biological treatment: – Use Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gm/acre.

How to Manage Weed in Wheat

03/12/2020 Thursday December 3rd, 2020

Weeds cause heavy damage to the wheat crop as they get their requirement of nutrients and moisture directly from soil and plants.
And thus competing with crop plants for light and space, thereby reducing crop yields
Bathua (Chenopodium album), Gehu ka mama (Phalaris minor), Wild Oats ( Avena fatua), Pyajii (Asphodelus tenuifolius) etc. cause serious problems in wheat fields. In addition, Dub (Cynodon dactylon) is a major perennial weed.
Use of the following products is very important to control these weeds.
Spray of 2,4-D amine salt 58% @ 400 ml/acre in 25-30 days after sowing.
Spray Metsulfuron methyl @ 20% WP @ 8 gram/acre within 30 days of sowing. After its use, 3 irrigation must be done.
Spray Clodinafop propargyl 15% + Metsulfuron methyl 1% WP @ 160 gram/acre.
Spray of Clodinafop propargyl @ 15% WP @ 160 gram/acre during 30-35 days of sowing.

How to prevent root rot problems in garlic crops

01/12/2020 Monday January 11th, 2021

Garlic crops are facing many problems because of the changes in the weather and humidity.
Due to this, the problem of root rot disease is being seen a lot.
In this disease, the plant stops growing and the leaves turn yellow and the plant dries from top to bottom.
In the early stage of infection, the roots of plants begin to dry up. The lower end of the bulb begins to rot and eventually the entire plant dies.
It is very important to use the following products to prevent this problem
For the prevention of this disease Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP @ 300 gram / acre or Kasugamycin 5% + Copper oxychloride 45% WP @ 300 gram / acre or Chlorothalonil 75% WP @ or 400 gram / acre or Thiophene methyl 70% W/W @ 300 gram / acre.
Biological treatment: –
Spray Trichoderma viride @ 500 gram / acre or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gram/acre as a biological treatment.

Early blight management in potato crop

01/12/2020 Monday January 11th, 2021

The problem of burning plants in potato crops occurs due to early blight disease.
Early blight starts in early December.
This disease is caused by a fungus known as Alternaria solani.
Initially brown colored spots with centric rings are formed on the leaves.
The spots gradually grow in size,later covering the entire leaf and finally the plant dies.

Chemical treatment:

Azoxistrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC @ 300 ml / acre or Kasugamycin 5% + Copper oxychloride 45% WP @ 300 gram / acre or Metalaxyl 4% + Mancozeb 64% WP @ 600 gram / acre or Tebuconazole 10% + Sulfur 65% Spraying at the rate of WG @ 500 gram / acre.

Biological treatment:

Use Trichoderma viridi @ 500 g / acre or Pseudomonas fluorescence @ 250 gram / acre.

Importance of white roots for good crop production

30/11/2020 Saturday November 28th, 2020

For the good production of the crop, the development of white roots is necessary.
The white root holds soil well, which is necessary to avoid soil erosion.
Because of these roots transportation of nutrients is easy to upper part of plants
White root is long and divided into many parts which helps in water circulation.
For good growth of white roots, it is very important to have a certain amount of phosphorus in the soil, so it is advisable to use phosphorus in the field at the time of soil preparation.

Importance of magnesium for plants

30/11/2020 Saturday November 28th, 2020

Magnesium plays an important role in the food production process of plants and it is the major element behind greenness of the leaves. Magnesium (Mg) also plays an important role in many enzyme activities in plants and development of plant tissues.
The average amount of magnesium in the soil is 0.5 – 40 g / kg, but at present, the amount of magnesium in most soils is found to be 0.3 – 25 g / kg.
The first signs of magnesium deficiency appear on the old leaves below, the veins of the leaves get dark colored and the middle part of the veins becomes yellowish red.
Deficiency of nitrogen in the soil increases magnesium deficiency.
While preparing the field, mix 10 kg/acre of magnesium sulfate (9.5%) in the soil thoroughly with basal dose .
To cure magnesium deficiency, make a solution of magnesium sulfate at the rate of 250 g / acre and spray it on the leaves twice weekly.
