Nutrient management and control measure of root aphid in wheat crops!

Nutrient management and control measure of root aphid in wheat crops

Nutrient management: In wheat crop at 20-25 days old stage, for good plant growth, Urea 40 kg + Zinc Sulphate @ 5 kg + Cosavet  (Sulphur 90% WG) @ 5 kg + Majorsol (Phosphorus 15% +Potassium 15% +Manganese 15% +Zinc 2.5% +Sulphur 12%) @ 5 kg, all mixed together and broadcast evenly in the one-acre area and do light irrigation after broadcast.

Symptoms of root aphid damage: This pest is found more from the month of November to February. These are transparent insects which are yellowish brown in colour with very small and soft bodies. They are present near the base of the plants or on the roots of the plants and suck the sap of the plants. Due to the sucking of sap, the leaves turn yellow or mature prematurely and the plant dies.

Control measures: To control this pest, apply with Fertilizer, sand or soil, Thianova 25 (Thiamethoxam 25 % WG) @ 100 gm per acre, before irrigation and Spray Media (Imidacloprid 17.80% SL) @ 60 to 70 ml + Silicomaxx  Gold @ 50 ml + Maxxroot (Humic Acid + Potassium + Fulvic Acid) @ 100 gm @ 150 to 200 per acre litres of water.

Necessary spraying for more flowers in the pea crop!

Necessary spraying for more flowers in the pea crop!

For better flowering in pea crops, Spray Nutriful Maxx (Fulvic acid extract 20% + Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium in trace amounts, 5% + Amino acids) @ 250 ml or Double (Homobrassinolide 0.04% w/w) @ 100 ml  +  boron 150 gm per acre, @150 to 200 litre of water.

Benefits of spray

  • This results in more flowers and enhances the colour and quality of the fruits.

  • Increases the resistance of plants against drought, frost etc.

  • It also enhances the transport of nutrients from the root.

  • Double is a hormone that along with flowering increases the growth of plants.

The use of Tri-Coat Maxx in wheat will speed up the growth of the crop

The use of Tri-Coat Maxx in wheat will speed up the growth of the crop
  • In Tri Coat Maxx, Organic Carbon 3% (a blend of Humic, Fulvic, and Organic Nutrients) 

  • It is effective for good germination.

  • Increases fertilizer efficiency and helps in rapid root growth.

  • It enhances the absorption of various nutrients in the crop.

  • Helps in increasing the vegetative growth and fertility of plants.

  • The crop remains green and healthy.

  • It is an organic product hence improves soil structure.

Humic acid: Humic acid increases the germination of seeds and root development. Increases the availability of nutrients already present in the soil and makes it drought-tolerant. It increases the activity of microorganisms available in the soil. Thereby making it an excellent root stimulator.

Fulvic: Fulvic accelerates the process of photosynthesis. Helps to absorb the nutrients present in the soil.

Dose: Broadcast Tri Coat Max @ 4 kg per acre at the time of soil preparation or along with the fertilizer, and after 21-35 days of sowing, broadcast Tri Coat Maxx once again at the rate of 4 kg per acre and irrigate it, and get the best produce.

Measures for the problem of fall armyworm pest in maize crop!

Measures for the problem of fall armyworm pest in maize crop

This pest attacks all stages of maize. Generally, it attacks the leaves of maize, but in case of severe infestation, it also starts harming the corn cob. The larvae attack the upper part of the plant or the soft leaves, small holes appear on the leaves of the affected plant.

Newborn larvae scrape and eat the leaves of the plant, causing white stripes to appear on the leaves. As the larva grows up, it completely eats the upper leaves of the plant. Finally, they attack the cobs, which reduces both the quality and the yield.

Control measures

To control, spray Emanova (Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG) @ 80 gm or Cosko (Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC) 80 ml + SilicoMaxx gold  @ 50 ml, per acre @ 150 to 200 litres of water.

Weed control in potato crops!

Weed control in potato crops!

Potatoes are the main cash crop of the Rabi season. Weeds compete with the main crop for nutrients, water, space, and light. Due to this there is a lack of nutrients in the plants and there is an outbreak of many types of pests and diseases.

Weed control

When the potato crop reaches 15 to 20 days (plant height 5 cm) for weed control, spray BARRIER (Metribuzin 70% WP) @ 300 gm/acre with 150 to 200 litres of water.

  • It effectively controls many types of grass and broadleaf weeds.

  • Barrier acts through the roots and leaves.

  • It can be used for both applications before germination and 15 to 20 days after sowing, when the height of the plant is 5 cm.

  • Barrier is cost-effective having broad spectrum activity and low dosage.

  • It has no ill effect on subsequent crops.

  • By controlling weeds, potato crops can be saved from damage caused by weeds and production can also be increased.

Nutrient management in garlic crops after 25 to 30 days of sowing!

Nutrient management in garlic crops after 25 to 30 days of sowing

Garlic crop is now 25 to 30 days old, at this stage for good root development and healthy growth of plants, Urea @ 25 kg + Agromine (Micronutrients- Zinc EDTA 3% + Manganese EDTA 1% + Molybdenum 0.1% + Copper EDTA 1% + Boron 0.5% + Iron in complex organic form 2.5%, @ 5 kg, mix all these together and broadcast on one acre basis.

Urea: Urea is the biggest source of nitrogen supply in the crop. With its use, there is no problem of yellowing and drying in the leaves. Urea accelerates the process of photosynthesis.

Agromin:

  • Agromin is a most effective source of micronutrients for all crops.

  • Agromin also contains a wetting and dispersing agent that ensures simultaneous absorption by the plant.

  • Agromin increases crop yield by correcting micronutrient deficiencies and ensuring better nutrient balance.
