Measures to control leaf miner in cotton

Leaf miner in cotton, these are very small insects, which make tunnels by going inside the leaves. This causes white lines on the leaves. Due to which the plants are hindered in photosynthesis.

Prevention: In case of infestation, spray Neemgold neem oil 1000 ml/acre or Bave-Curv (Beauveria bassiana 5% WP) 500 gm/acre mixed in 200 liters of water.

Measures to control leaf miner in cotton

To obtain a high quality crop, it is necessary to keep the Cotton crop free from weeds. Due to being a weed, the yield of Cotton is adversely affected, as well as the quality of the crop also deteriorates. Do weeding in Cotton crops from time to time. In cotton, do the first weeding at 15-20 days and the second at the crop stage of 50-55 days. For chemical control, after sowing and before seed germination, spray Dhanutop (Pendimethalin 30% EC) at the rate of 1 liter/acre mixed with 200 liters. For better results, soil moisture is very important while applying the herbicide.

Problem and solution of Damping Off in Cotton Crop

19/06/2024Posted on
Whitefly infestation and control measures in tomatoes

Damping Off disease is one of the few fatal diseases in the cotton crop. 5 to 20% of crops are destroyed due to this disease. The effect of Damping Off disease is more visible in 10-15 days old plants. Due to Damping Off disease, the roots and stems of the plants start rotting. The stems of the plants start getting thin and the leaves start withering. When the problem of this disease increases, the leaves of the plants turn yellow, start drying up and the plants fall on the ground.

Methods of controlling Damping Off disease: 

  • To save the crop from this disease, adopt crop rotation, select varieties resistant to Damping off disease.

  • Seed treatment before sowing is very important.

  • For biological control, Combat (Trichoderma viride) at 8 gm/kg seed or

  • Treat with Vitavax power  (Carboxin 37.5%+ Thiram 37.5% WS) 3 gm/kg seed.

Crops get many benefits from phosphorus solubilizing bacteria

Crops get many benefits from phosphorus solubilizing bacteria

Of the 16 essential nutrients required for crop production, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus elements are most important. Deficiency of any one of these elements seriously adversely affects crop production.

Due to continuous use of fertilizers, the soil is becoming hard, or more fertilizers have to be given to get the same production as before, due to which the quality of the land is also being destroyed, due to which the quality of the land is also destroyed. Phosphorus contains chemical fertilizers like super phosphate, DAP etc, whatever quantity we put in the fields for crop production, only 20 to 25 percent of it becomes available to the plants, the remaining phosphorus is fixed by the soil particles. It is converted into an insoluble mixture by chemical reactions. Such micro-organisms are known as Phosphorus Solubilizing Biofertilizers (Phosphorus Solubilizing Bacteria). It helps in converting the insoluble and unavailable phosphorus element into soluble element and making it available to the plants. Phosphorus soluble bacteria convert the particles of insoluble phosphorus containing fertilizers like rock phosphate and tricalcium phosphate into microscopic size and make them soluble and available as nutrients to the plants. Its use can save about 10 to 12 kg per acre of chemical fertilizers containing phosphorus.

Why is it necessary to apply basic fertilizers in crops

Why is it necessary to apply basic fertilizers in crops

Before using fertilizers in the fields, if soil test is done and fertilizers are applied on the basis of its test report, then we would know in what quantity of fertilizers we have to use. That’s why farmers must get their fields soil tested. However, many farmers do not use base fertilizer at the time of sowing, they often think that if it is too hot now, it will not be appropriate to apply fertilizer and it will be given when it rains, but this thinking is wrong. Base fertilization at early stage is essential for root formation, plant growth and branch formation, otherwise there will be huge reduction in production.

Farmers must do deep plowing of the empty field in the summer season, so that the fungus and other pests present in the soil can be controlled, and at the same time the soil becomes brown so that its water holding capacity increases. If available, well rotten cow dung manure/compost at the rate of 4 to 5 tonnes per acre must be given.

Along with this, do soil treatment with Gramophone’s “Cotton Prosperity Kit”. There are many great products in this kit to improve land management. This kit contains consortia of Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria, Marine Algae, Amino Acids, Humic Acids, Trichoderma viridi and NPK bacteria, which along with providing overall growth and nutrition to the crop, also provide protection from harmful soil borne fungal diseases.

Outbreak and prevention of sucking pests like Aphids, Jassids and Whitefly in cotton

16/06/2024Posted on
Outbreak and prevention of sucking pests like Aphids Jassids and Whitefly in cotton

Both the nymph and adult of this insect suck the sap by staying on the lower surface of the leaves. These are very small insects in size, which are found in groups on the lower surface of cotton leaves. These insects suck the sap from the leaves of the plant, due to which the shape of the leaves gets spoiled and the plant becomes weak. These insects emit honeydew on the leaves, due to which a black layer is formed on the leaves of the plants, due to which the photosynthesis process does not take place. Due to this the plants start drying up.

Prevention: To prevent these pests, seed should be treated before sowing. If pest is observed, apply Neemgold (Neem Oil 3000 PPM at 1 Litre/acre) or Bave Curb (Beauveria bassiana 5% WP)  500 gm/acre or Pager (Diafenthiuron 50 % WP) 240 gm/acre or Ulala (Flonicamid 50% WG) 60 gm/acre Mix it in 200 liters of water and spray it.

What is Azotobacter, and what is its importance in crops

What is Azotobacter and what is its importance in crops

Azotobacter is a biofertilizer capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen in the presence of oxygen. With its use, 12-15 kg of nitrogen per acre gets fixed in the soil. Azotobacter is used for soil and seed treatment and transplanting. Use of Azotobacter for soil treatment, mix 750 grams of Azotobacter evenly in 25 kg of well decomposed farmyard manure and apply in the field before ploughing. With the use of azotobacter, about 4-6 kg of nitrogen per acre is converted and available to the plants. Its use also increases crop production by about 10-20 percent.Azotobacter is an enhancer for the bioactive substances vitamins in sufficient quantity in the soil. Because of this, seed germination and plant growth is good.

Method of use of Azotobacter culture: To treat seeds with azotobacter culture, dissolve 50 grams of jaggery in water and add 200 grams of culture to it as needed. Mix it lightly by sprinkling it on the seeds of one acre, so that a thin layer of culture can climb on the seeds, after that sow the seeds.

Fertilizer Management in Soybean

Soybean is the most profitable crop for the farmers. However, sometimes due to some negligence during the cultivation of soybean, there is a decrease in the yield. Which also includes fertilizer management. The quality of the crop is also adversely affected by not using fertilizers at the right time and in the right quantity. Knowledge of fertilizer management is very important to get a better crop of soybean.

For better crop, apply 4-5 tonnes of well decomposed farmyard manure per acre while preparing the field.

For good growth of soybean, DAP-40 kg, Muriate of Potash-20 kg, Gromor (Sulfur 90%) 5 kg and Tri-Coat Maxx 4 kg per acre at the rate of last plowing or field Give at the time of preparation.
