Outbreak of nematode in Brinjal crop

23/05/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Due to nematodes in the soil, nodes are formed in the roots of brinjal plants.
Due to its outbreak, the roots of the plants are not able to absorb nutrients. Due to this, there is a big decrease in the number of flowers and fruits.
Leaves start to turn yellow and the entire plant remains dwarf.
The plant dies after dying due to excess infection.
Do not plant brinjal, chilli, and tomato crops for 2-3 years in the field where problems already appear.
Do deep plowing in the affected field in summer.
Apply marigold between 1-2 rows of brinjal crop.
Mix 3% of Carbofuran @ 10 kg/ acre before planting.
For biological control of nematodes, mix 200 kg Neem cake or 2 kg Verticillium chlamydosporium or 2 kg Paecilomyces lilacinus or 2 kg Trichoderma harzianum with 100 kg of good rotten dung and mix it at the rate of one acre per acre.

Identification and treatment of root rot disease in cotton crop

23/05/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

The withering of cotton plants is the first symptom of this disease.
Due to this, in severe cases all the leaves may fall or the plant may fall.
In this disease, the root bark bursts after yellowing due to which water and nutrients do not reach the plant properly.
The entire root system rotting and the plant can be uprooted easily.
Initially, only a few plants are affected in the field. Then, with time, the disease spreads around the entire field, forming a circle around these plants.
To prevent disease, seeds should be treated @ 5 grams of Trichoderma viride or 10 grams of Pseudomonas fluorescens per kg. or
Treat seeds @ 2.5 gm Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP per kg.
To protect, spread 2 acres of Trichoderma viride in 4 tons FYM and spread it in an acre field.
For disease control, mix 500 gm of Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP or 500 gm Thiophanate Methyl 75% WP or 600 gm Metalaxyl 4% + Mancozeb 64% WP in 200 liters of water and drenching near the stem of the plant.

When, how and why to use Friend Fungal Trichoderma

22/05/2020 Friday May 22nd, 2020

It is an organic fungicide that kills many types of pathogens. Due to which the root rot, stem rot, wilt, damping off in the crops is protected from diseases.
Trichoderma can be used in all types of crops for seed treatment, soil treatment, root treatment and drenching.
For seed treatment, seed treat @ 5-10 grams of Trichoderma @ 1 kg seed is used. This seed treatment is done before sowing.
For the treatment of roots, prepare the solution by mixing 10 kg FYM and 100 liters of water, then mix 1 kg of Trichoderma powder in it and prepare a mixture of all three. Now sink the roots of the plant in this mixture for 10 minutes before transplanting.
For soil treatment, 2 kg Trichoderma powder per acre is mixed with 4 tons FYM in the field.
To use in standing crops, mix 10 grams of Trichoderma powder in one liter of water and do drenching in soil near the stem area.

Know the advantages of intercropping method in cotton crop

20/05/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Taking two or more crops in the same area in different queues at the same time is called intercropping.
Crops such as moong or urad can be grown with shallow roots and ready in a short time between the vacant spaces between rows of the cotton crop.
Inter-cropping will also increase the additional profits and weeds will not be put on the space.
Inter-cropping helps prevent soil erosion during rainy days.
By this method, a variation of crops keeps the crop safe from diseases and pests.
This method serves as an insurance against the failure of crops in more or less rain. Which avoids the risk of farmers, because even after a crop is destroyed, the yield of the supporting crop is available.

Identification and prevention measures of damping off disease in chilli nursery

19/05/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

This disease can occur in two stages in the nursery. In the first stage, before germination, the chilli seeds rot from the fungus, in the second stage after germination, the stem base starts to rot.
Due to this weak and sticky stem, water-filled, brown, brown, or black sores are visible.
Due to this weak and sticky stem, water-filled, brown, or black sores are visible.
After this, the stem shrinks and the plant falls to the ground and dies.
To prevent this, Trichoderma viridi 4 gm or Carboxin 37.5% + Thiram 37.5% WP 3 gm per kg of seed treatment.
To prevent this, spray 30 gm Thiophanate methyl 70% WP or 30 gm metalloxyl 4% + Mancozeb 64% WP with 15 liters of water spray in the soil.

How to do harvesting and threshing of summer Green Gram

19/05/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

The moong crop ripens in 65 to 70 days, that is, the crop sown in the months of March-April is ready by May-June.
Its beans become light brown or black when ripened.
The mature beans become light brown or black when harvestable.
The beans of plants ripen unevenly. If all the legumes of the plant are waiting to ripen, the more ripe pods start to crack, so do the chopping of the beans in 2-3 times as soon as they turn green to black. And later cut the crop with plants.
Harvesting of legumes in premature age deteriorates both the yield and quality of the grains. Sickle Chopped and dried in the field after drying for a day, it is dried.
After harvesting crop by Sickle drying for one day in the field, and after that drying in the threshing floor. After drying, threshing can be done by beating the sticks or by using a thresher.
Mix the crop residue in the ground by running a rotavator so that the crop residue works as green manure. With this, about 10 to 12 kg per acre of nitrogen in the soil is supplied for the next crop.
