Spray and nutrition and management in 15 days of onion transplanting

Nutrition management and spray management in 15 days of transplanting of onion is very important for good production.
With the proper nutrient management, nutrients are properly used by the onion plants and the roots of the onion crop spread well in the ground also developing immunity against diseases.
Urea @ 30 kg / acre + sulfur 90% @ 10 kg / acre should be mixed with soil and broadcast in the field before sowing.
Urea is a source of nitrogen as well as sulfur. It plays a very important role in prevention of fungal diseases as well as in nutrient supply.
For insect control, spray Fipronil @ 5% SC @ 400 ml / acre.
Spray Humic acid @ 100 gram / acre for good root growth, spread well in the ground.
For fungal diseases spray Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% @ 300 gram / acre or Thiophanate Methyl 70% W/W@ 300 gram / acre.

In potato, it is very important to manage nutrition in 15 days of sowing.
As potato is a tuber crop it requires more nutrients and is prone to insect-borne and fungal-borne diseases with a high infestation.
In 15 days of sowing, the potato crop is in its early stage of growth, and nutrition management for good growth and development also causes infestation of insect-borne and fungal borne diseases.
For pest management: – Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda Cyhalothrin @ 9.5% ZC @ 80 ml / acre or Imamactin Benzoate @ 5% SG @ 100 g / acre
For fungal diseases: – Spraying of Thiophanate Methyl 70% W/w 70% W / W @ 300 gram/ acre or Chlorothalonil 75% WP @ 300 gram / acre
As a biological treatment, spray Trichoderma viride @ 500 gram / acre or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gram / acre.
For nutritional management: – Spray of seaweed extract @ 400 ml / acre or Gibberellic acid @ 300 ml / acre.

The potato crop is the main rabi crop, due to excessive moisture left in the soil after the rainy season after the sowing of potato crop weeds starts growing in large numbers.
All types of weeds can be controlled by the timely use of appropriate weedicide.
1-3 days after sowing: – For control of weeds, use Pendimethalin 38.7% CS @ 700 ml/acre should be sprayed 1-3 days after sowing.
In this way, spray can control the weeds that grow in the early sowing stage.
Second spraying after sowing: – Metribuzin 70% WP @ 100 gm per acre 3-4 days after sowing or 5 cm growth of potato plant.
Last spray (for narrow leaves) : – 20-30 days after sowing as final spray by spray Propaquizafop 10% EC or Quizalofop ethyl 5% EC @ 400 ml / acre.

A huge variety of macro and micronutrients are found naturally in the soil, due to the growth of more weeds, these nutrients are not readily available to onion and garlic crops.
This causes a deficiency of nutrients in the crops and affects the total yield of onion and garlic.
Timely weed management is very important, for these use following products.
Pendimethalin 38.7% CS is recommended for effective weed control in garlic within 3 days of sowing at the rate of 700 ml / acre,
Propaquizafop 5% + Oxyfluorfen 12% EC @ 250-350 ml / acre is used within 25–25 days of sowing and 40–45 days of sowing.
Spray of Oxyfluorfen 23.5% EC @ 100 ml / acre + Propaquizafop 10% EC @ 300 ml / acre or quizalofop ethyl 5% EC @ 300 ml / acre within 20 to 25 days of sowing.

- Aphid (Mahu) Symptoms: – Aphid (Mahu) is a small insect that sucks the leaves and causing the leaves to shrink and turn yellow
- Later the leaves get stiff and hard and after some time it dries and falls.
- In the aphis infested pea plant, the plant does not develop properly and appears diseased.
- Management: – Imidacloprid 17.8% SL. @ 100 ml / acre or Thiamethoxam 25% WG @ 100 gram / acre, or Acephate 50% + Imidacloprid 1.8% SP @ 400 gram / acre or Acetamiprid 20% SP @ 100 gm / acre for the control of sucking pest .
- Biological treatment: – As a biological treatment, spray Beauveria Bassiana @ 500 gram / acre.

Calcium is an important nutrient in garlic and has a key role to play in crop yield and quality.
Calcium promotes the enhancement of root establishment and elongation of cells resulting in increased plant height.
It also creates an improved tolerance for disease and chilling injury.
The recommended dose of calcium is 4 Kg/Acre or according to a soil testing report.

Thrips: – They are small and soft-bodied insects and can be found on the upper surface of leaves but 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 prevention 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 @ 60 ml / acre.
Biological treatment: – As a biological treatment, spray Beauveria Bassiana @ 500 gram / acre.

Nutrition management is very important before the onion is transplanted in the main field.
Remember at the time of transplanting it is necessary to supply all the nutrients in the field.
At this time use Urea @ 25 kg/acre as a soil treatment to manage nutrition.
Urea is used as a nitrogenous source and to treat nitrogen deficiency in the crop and soil, it is necessary for the growth of the crop.
With this, use gramophone special onion samridhi kit for good growth and development of onion crop.

It is very important to have proper moisture in the field at the time of the sowing of garlic crops, so irrigate the field before sowing. After three days of germination, irrigation should be done again.
Irrigate after every one week of vegetative growth, or as per the need.
Irrigation should not be given during the bulb formulations.
The crop should be irrigated 2-3 days before harvesting, which makes it easy to harvest the crop.
During the maturation of the crop, the moisture in the soil should not be reduced, there is an adverse effect on the growth of the crop.

It is a grass called ‘Vetiver’, which grows up to five feet and its roots go up to 10 feet deep.
Mainly this grass is grown in coastal areas
Useful in soil conservation due to the depth of the roots.
This grass is a boon for drought areas
This grass can also be used for ethanol extraction, fodder for animals, and making handicrafts.
Apart from this it also has medicinal properties.
