Nymphs and adults both insects are soft-bodied, pear-shaped, and blackish in color.
Large colonies of nymphs and adults are found on tender twigs and shoots as well as on the ventral leaf surface sucking the vital sap from the tissues.
The affected parts turn yellow, get curled, wrinkled, and deformed in shape and ultimately dry and die away.
Fruit size and quality is also reduced.
The aphids also exude copious quantities of honeydew on which sooty mold develops which in turn hinders the photosynthetic activity of the vines, resulting in stunted growth.
IMIDACLOPRID 17.8% SL @ 100ml/acre OR ACEPHATE 75 %SP@ 300 gm/acre OR ACETAMIPRID 20 % SP @ 200 gm/acre OR

Prevention of Fusarium basal rot disease in garlic crop

12/10/2020 Friday October 29th, 2021

Initially, yellowing of leaves and stunted growth of the plant is observed, which later on proceed to dry downwardly from the tip.
In the early stage of infection, the roots of the plant turn pink in colour and start rotting. In an advanced stage, the bulb starts decaying from the lower ends and ultimately the whole plant dies.
Favourable conditions:- Ideally moist soil and a temperature of 27 °C help in the development of the disease.
For the prevention of this disease use CARBENDAZIM 12% + MANCOZEB 63% WP @ 300 gram / acre orKASUGAMYCIN 5% + COPPER OXYCHLORIDE 45% WP @ or 300 gram / acre
As a biological treatment, use PSEUDOMONAS FLUORESCENS @ 250 gram / acre or TRICHODERMA VIRIDE @ 500 gram / acre use near the plant.

How to protect crops and soil from bacterial diseases

11/10/2020 Thursday October 8th, 2020

Due to excessive moisture and temperature changes in crops and soil, there is a high risk of an outbreak of bacterial diseases.
Some of the main bacterial diseases are black rot, stem rot, bacterial spot disease, leaf spot disease, bacterial wilt disease,
Some of these diseases are caused by soil, which damages the soil along with the crop.
There is a huge impact on the production of crops due to these diseases while also unbalancing the pH of the soil.
For the prevention of these diseases, it is very necessary to do soil treatment, seed treatment before sowing.
A spray should be done within 15-25 days of sowing for the prevention of bacterial diseases.

Management of Ascochyta foot rot and blight in crops

11/10/2020 Monday January 11th, 2021

Ascochyta Blight also known as Ascochyta Foot Rot
This disease causes small, irregularly shaped brown spots to appear on the crops.
Purple / bluish-black lesions occur at the base of the plant.
Severe infection causes the pods to shrink and the fruits to dry, which may lead to a loss of seed quality due to seed shrinkage and dark brown discoloration.
The main reason for this disease is excessive moisture in the soil, the stem and twigs of the affected plant appear wet due to infection.
For prevention of these diseases, spray CHLOROTHALONIL 75% WP @ 300 gram / acre or CARBENDAZIM 12% + MANCOZEB 63% WP @ 500 gram / acre or METIRAM 55% + PYARACLOSTROBIN 5% WG @ 600 gram / acre.

Use pheromone trap to protect crops

10/10/2020 Monday January 11th, 2021

Pheromone trap is a biological agent used to catch insects that damage the crop.
These pheromone traps contain capsules containing a chemical. The insect is attracted by the scent of this chemical and gets captured in these Pheromone traps.
These capsules have a special type of scent that attracts male moths.
Different insects have different smells, so different capsules are used for different insects.
By using this the male insect gets trapped and the female insect is deprived of laying eggs.

Damage to soil and crop due to excess moisture

10/10/2020 Monday January 11th, 2021

As there is more rain nowadays due to climate change, which creates a lot of moisture in the soil.
This excessive moisture increases the probability of an outbreak of fungal diseases and bacterial diseases in the soil.
Excess moisture also causes a very high outbreak of insects in the soil.
Excessive rains lead to soil erosion due to which makes soil devoid of nutrients.
Yellowing of the crops, curling of leaves, the premature withering of the crop, falling of the fruits in an immature state, irregular spots on the pods, is caused by excess moisture.
Lack of nutrients greatly affects crop production.

Initially, yellowing of leaves and stunted growth of the plant is observed, which later on proceed to dry downwardly from the tip.

In the early stage of infection, the roots of the plant turn pink in colour and start rotting. In an advanced stage, the bulb starts decaying from the lower ends and ultimately the whole plant dies.

Favourable conditions:- Ideally moist soil and a temperature of 27 °C help in the development of the disease.

For the prevention of this disease use CARBENDAZIM 12% + MANCOZEB 63% WP @ 300 gram / acre orKASUGAMYCIN 5% + COPPER OXYCHLORIDE 45% WP @ or 300 gram / acre

As a biological treatment, use PSEUDOMONAS FLUORESCENS @ 250 gram / acre or TRICHODERMA VIRIDE @ 500 gram / acre use near the plant.
