Reference according to the Directorate of onion and garlic research

  • 19:19:19 – Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are found in it, which increases vegetative growth in this stage of the crop and makes the crop healthy.

  • Maxxroot – Contains Humic Acid + Potassium + Fulvic Acid. This helps in the soil’s water-holding capacity and the development of white roots. And helps the plants to absorb nutrients.

Benefits of applying mulching in vegetable crops

Benefits of applying mulching in vegetable crops

Mulching is a technique in which the soil surface is covered with a thick layer, to promote the healthy development of crops. It is a useful technique for the healthy growth of vegetable crops. The following are the benefits of using mulching:

Enhanced Nutrient Retention: Mulching increases the number of nutrients in the soil, making them more available to the plants, which results in healthier and more productive crops.

Water Conservation: Mulching helps to conserve water by reducing evaporation, keeping the soil moist for a longer period, and reducing the need for irrigation.

Weed Control: Mulching reduces weed growth, providing a barrier that prevents weed seedlings from growing and reduces the need for herbicides.

Soil Erosion Control: Mulching helps to prevent soil erosion by holding the soil in place and reducing the impact of rainfall on the soil.

Enhanced Soil Health: Mulching helps to improve soil health by increasing the organic matter content, improving soil structure, and promoting beneficial microbial activity.

Increased Crop Productivity: Mulching has been shown to increase crop productivity by providing an environment that is conducive to plant growth and development.

The bacterial spot of tomato is a devastating disease that can affect all parts of the tomato plant, including leaves, stems and fruit. Initially, roundworms appear in water-soaked circular areas on tomato leaves. Circular spots are generally dark brown to black on leaves and stems. The lesion takes a large size by joining together and the leaf turns yellow. On green fruits, the spots are usually small, raised and blister-like, as the fruit ripens, the spots enlarge and become brown and rough. Due to this, the quality of the fruit deteriorates.

Control Measures

To control this disease, take a spray of Dhanucop (Copper Oxychloride 50% WP) @ 1 kg + Silicomaxx Gold @ 50 ml per acre, @ 150 to 200 litres of water.

A new technique of irrigation, Which will use every drop of water in the fields

14/11/2024Posted on
Drip irrigation

  • Water availability for the successful production of a good crop is an important factor. Due to the ever-increasing population and climate change, the water available in the ground is decreasing. 

  • due to which the production of crops is constantly decreasing. Drip irrigation was invented to solve this problem which has proved to be a boon for farmers.

  •  In this method, water is transported directly from plastic pipes’ sources to plants’ roots. It’s called fertigation. 

  • Saves 60-70% of water compared to other irrigation systems.

  • Drip irrigation helps plants to provide nutrients with greater efficiency.

  • Drip irrigation can prevent losses of water (due to evaporation and leakage).

  • Water in drip irrigation is given directly to the crop roots. Due to this, the surrounding soil becomes dry, and weeds cannot be grown.

Why thinning is necessary in mustard crops

  • After 3-4 weeks of sowing, maintain the plant-to-plant distance at 10-15 cm, The removal of extra plants is called the process of thinning.

  • This action is done for more branching and healthy plant growth in the crops.

  • Due to this, there are fewer outbreaks of diseases and pests.

  • And the size of pods and grains is large.

  • Crops are not sown at the right distance from each other, and hence, need to be thinned.
