Changing weather effect on garlic and onion crop

As the weather is constantly changing, the onion and garlic crop is being affected a lot.
This causes the leaves in the onion and garlic crop to appear yellow and then the edges of the leaves to begin drying.
There is no even growth in the crop
Irregular spots appear on the leaves in the onion and garlic crop.
To solve all these problems and to protect crops in adverse weather conditions. The use of the following products is very important.
Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP@ 300 gram/acre or Thiophanate Methyl 70% W/W@ 300 gram/acre
Use Seaweed@ 400 ml/acre or humic acid@ 100 gram/acre.

Gramophone exclusive Wheat samridhi kit is used as a soil treatment.
The total volume of this kit is 2.2 kg which is enough for one acre
It can be used along with urea, DAP with 50 kg of well-decomposed cow dung, or compost or dry soil.
It is necessary to have sufficient moisture in the field at the time of its use.
If you were not able to use this kit at the time of sowing, then it can be used as broadcasting in 20-25 days of sowing.

Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) are helpful in providing phosphorus as well as micronutrients to the plant.
Encourages faster root growth for water and nutrient uptake.
PSB produces organic acids like malic, succinic, fumaric, citric, tartaric acid, and acetic acid which fastens the P2O5 uptake, maturity and increases yield.
Increase resistance towards diseases and drought tolerance due to rapid cell development in the plants.
Reduce 25 – 30% phosphatic fertilizer requirement.

Azotobacter spp. is the free-living nitrogen-fixing aerobic bacterium
Play an important role to convert nitrogen in the simple form to provide plant
Available nitrogen used by okra, which reduces 20% to 25 % Nitrogenous fertilizer requirements for okra crop.
Increase the germination percentage of okra crops.
Increase number & length of shoot and root.

Marigold crop has become a very popular crop due to it being a low-cost short duration crop.
As it’s easy to farm, it is being widely adopted. Marigold is found in two different colors, orange and yellow, it has two varieties (of different color and shape) – African marigold and French marigold.
Marigold is cultivated in almost every region. It is the most important flower crop. It is widely used in religious and social works.
Marigold is also cultivated to obtain carotene pigment which is used for the yellow color in various foods.
The oil obtained from marigold flowers is used in making perfumes and other cosmetics. It also has medicinal properties.
It is also grown as a defense shield between crops to reduce pest infestation in crops.

In Cucurbitaceous crops, the effect of this disease causes gray spots on the lower surface of the leaves.
Pale yellow spots are formed on the upper surface. This disease causes more damage to cucumber, gourds, and melons.
Along with this, on the leaves, a layer of brownish-black color is formed. If it rains in the summer season, this disease becomes very common.
For the control of this disease, Metalaxyl 4% + Mancozeb 64% WP @ 600 gram / acre or Sulfur 80% WDG @ 500 gram / acre or Tebuconazole 10% + Sulfur 65% WG @ 500 gram / acre
Spray Trichoderma viride @ 500 gram / acre or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gram as a biological treatment

This is an important time for pigeon pea farmers as this is the time of flower emergence.
In such a situation, farmers can get good yield with a little bit of effort. In the time of flowering, light irrigation should be done in the pigeon pea.
Also one of the reasons for the flower drop in pigeon pea is the attack of thrips, which is very important to control on time.
Simultaneously, if a stressful situation arises in the pigeon pea crop, spray homobrassinolide @ 100 ml/acre to prevent it.
For control of thrips use 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 thiamanthoxam 12.6% + lambda cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC @ 80 ml / acre or spinoseed at 45% SC @ 60 ml / acre.
Spray Beauveria Bassiana @ 250 gram/acre as biological treatment.

Gramophone exclusive gram samridhi kit is used as a soil treatment.
The total volume of this kit is 4.5 kg which is enough for one acre.
It can be used along with urea, DAP, or Potash with 50 kg of well-decomposed cow dung, or compost or dry soil.
It is necessary to have sufficient moisture in the field at the time of its use.
If you were not able to use this kit at the time of sowing, then it can be used as broadcasting in 15-20 days of sowing.

Garlic crop is a tuber crop, due to this it is very important to manage nutrition and diseases in garlic crops.
Crop management can be done to protect the crop from fungal diseases such as root rot, stem rot yellowing, etc. for this spray Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% @ 300 gram / acre or Hexaconazole 5% SC @ 400 ml / acre.
To protect garlic crops from sucking pests, spray the Acetate 75% SP @ 300 gram / acre or Bavaria Basiana @ 250 gram / acre as a biological treatment.
For a uniform growth and good root growth of garlic crop, use Urea @ 25 kg / acre + zinc Sulphate @ 5 kg / acre + Sulfur 90% @ 10 kg / acre broadcast in soil in 15 days of sowing

Wheat is the main crop of the rabi season. Nutrition management at the time of the sowing of wheat gives it a good start.
Growth of roots is good and tillers emerge very well.
At this time, the following products should be used to manage nutrition
Use Urea @ 50 kg / acre + DAP @ 20 kg / acre + MOP @ 25 kg / acre
Urea is the source of nitrogen, DAP is a source of nitrogen and phosphorus, and MOP supplies the necessary potash, thus the production can be increased by managing nutrition after sowing in the crop of wheat.
