Prevention of Powdery Mildew in Pea crop

28/10/2024 Monday October 28th, 2024

The symptoms of this disease are first seen on the old leaves, later they appear on the other part of the plant.
The powder is deposited on both the surfaces of pea leaves.
After which powdery spots are formed on soft stems, pods, etc.
The white powder appears on the surface of the plant. The fruits either do not develop or remain underdeveloped.
Use resistant varieties like- Arka Ajit, PSM-5, Jawahar Pea- 4 JP-83, JRS-14,
Spray hexaconazole 5% SC @ 400 ml / acre or sulfur 80% WDG @ 500 gram / acre or Tebuconazole 10% + sulfur 65% WG @ 500 gram / acre
Spraying of Trichoderma viride @ 500 gram/acre or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 grams as a biological treatment.

Problem and prevention of collar rot in chilli crops

27/10/2024 Friday October 25th, 2024

The outbreak of this disease occurs when there is strong sunlight after heavy rains. The fungus first infects the collar between the stem and the root, causing a white mold and black fungus to form on the collar around the soil. And the stem tissue becomes light brown and soft. And slowly it starts to fade. In favorable circumstances, it can affect other parts as well. It grows rapidly on plant tissue. Due to this disease the crop withers and dies.

Preventive measures

To control this disease, drenching the Monas Curb (Pseudomonas fluorescens 1.0% WP) @ 500 gm + Combat (Trichoderma Viride 1.0% WP) @ 500 gm per acre in the root zone .

Control of fungal diseases is necessary for the protection of crops

26/10/2024 Friday October 25th, 2024

To get good production from any crop, it is very important to control fungal diseases in the crop.
The basic mantra of ‘Precaution is Safety’ works in the prevention of fungal diseases.
It is very important to treat this disease before it starts spreading. That means it is very important to control it before sowing.
First of all, it is very important to treat the soil before sowing.
After soil treatment, it is very important to treat seeds with fungicide to protect the seeds from fungal diseases.
Spray fungicide 15-25 days after sowing so that the crop gets a good start and the roots develop well.
In case of severe infestation, keep spraying every 10 to 15 days.

Use of vermicompost along with chemical fertilizers will be beneficial

25/10/2024 Friday October 25th, 2024

Vermicompost contains all the nutrients, hormones and enzymes which are important for plants, whereas fertilizers contain only nitrogen, phosphorus and potash.
Its effect remains in the field for a long time and the plants gradually receive the nutrients.
It is a complete nutritious fertilizer for crops which contain a high amount of organic matter. This increases the water absorption and water-holding capacity of the soil and also proves helpful in preventing soil erosion.
It contains humic acid, which is helpful in reducing the pH value of the soil. It plays an important role in improving unfertile land.
With its use, the beneficial micro-organisms found inside the soil get food, due to which they remain more active.
These work as natural fertilizers for all crops and have no side effects.
This improves the quality of the produce like size, colour, shine and taste and also increases the production capacity of the land.

If you want bumper yield of wheat then do seed treatment before sowing

24/10/2024 Thursday October 24th, 2024

By treating the seeds properly before sowing, all the wheat seeds germinate equally after sowing.
This protects the wheat crop from soil-borne and seed-borne diseases.
Seed treatment protects the wheat crop from deadly diseases like Karnal bunt, Rust, Loose smut, Blight etc.
In wheat crops, we can do seed treatment by two methods: chemical and biological.
For chemical treatment, before sowing, treat the seeds with CARBENDAZIM 12% + MANCOZEB 63% @ 2.5 gm/kg seed or CARBOXIN 17.5%+ THIRAM 17.5% @ 2.5 gm/kg seed.
As Biological treatment, do seed treatment at the rate of TRICHODERMA VIRIDE @ 5 gm/kg + PSB @ 2 gm or PSB @ 2 gm + mycorrhiza @ 5 gram/kg seeds.

Do this spraying in onion nursery at 20 days stage

23/10/2024 Wednesday October 23rd, 2024

It is very important to manage spraying within twenty days of sowing the seeds in onion nursery.
This spraying is done to control fungal diseases and pests as well as for good growth.
Spraying at this stage provides good initial growth to the onion nursery.
To protect against fungal diseases (Novaxil) spray Mancozeb 64% + Metalaxil 8% WP @ 60 gm/pump.
For pest management (NovaLice) spray Fipronil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG @ 5 gm/pump.
Apart from this, for faster growth of plants, spray (NovaMaxx) gibberellic acid 0.001% @ 75 ml/acre.

Critical stages of irrigation in mustard crop

22/10/2024 Tuesday October 22nd, 2024

Mustard is a crop with a duration of 110-120 days, in this, the first irrigation should be done at the time of flowering i.e. about 30 days after sowing.
In this, second irrigation should be done at the time of pod formation or about 60-65 days after sowing.
When mustard is grown as a mixed crop, it is irrigated as the main crop.
In many areas, pure mustard crop is grown as a non-irrigated crop.
The mustard crop is very sensitive to lack of moisture in the soil during the flowering and grain formation stages. That is why irrigation is necessary 25 days after its sowing.
If it rains a few days before the scheduled time of irrigation, the crop should not be irrigated.
There should be a good drainage system in mustard crop fields.
The mustard plant is very sensitive to water logging conditions.
When only one irrigation is available, irrigation should be done only 30 to 35 days after sowing.

Mustard farmers should prepare their fields in this way, keep these things in mind

21/10/2024 Saturday October 19th, 2024

How to prepare the field for soybean sowing

Mustard cultivation is considered best in loamy or sandy soil with good drainage system. If there is no proper arrangement for drainage, then every year before harvesting the crop, Dhecha should be grown as green manure.
For good yield, the pH value of the soil should be 7.0. Highly acidic and alkaline soil is not suitable for its cultivation.
The rate of mustard seeds should be kept at 5-6 kg/hectare in rainfed areas and 4.5-5 kg/hectare in irrigated areas.
In irrigated areas, after harvesting of Kharif crop, first plowing should be done with soil turning plow and then three-four plowings should be done with disc plough.
After plowing in the irrigated area, the field should be leveled so that clods are not formed in the field. Deep plowing in summer destroys insects and weeds.
If there is lack of moisture in the land before sowing then the field should be plowed. The field should be made weed-free before sowing.
In rainy areas, after every rain, plowing should be done with a bladed plow and compaction should be done to conserve the moisture so that the soil remains moist.

Information about three main methods of planting potatoes

20/10/2024 Saturday October 19th, 2024

In India, farmers generally plant potatoes in three ways. In today’s article, let us know about these three methods.

Planting potatoes on ridges: After preparation of the field, ridges are made at a distance of 45-60 cm with the help of a spade. Planting of potatoes is done on the ridges with the help of khurpi.
Flat method: Planting of potatoes is done on a flat surface in shallow furrows. Ridges are made after germination when plants attain 10-12 cm in height. This method is suitable for light soils. Later on, two to three earthings are done to make the ridges thick.
Planting potatoes on a flat surface followed by ridges: In this method field is prepared and then shallow furrows are opened on the flat surface. Potatoes are planted in furrows and immediately after planting tubers, small ridges are made. Later on, these ridges are made thick by earthing up the side soil.

Potato farmers must keep these things in mind while selecting seeds

19/10/2024 Saturday October 19th, 2024

For potato cultivation, farmers should select only high-yielding, pest-free, healthy and pure seeds. The use of certified seeds is very important for good yield.
It is also advisable to replace the seed stock every 3-4 years as failure to do so may spoil the varieties and result in low yields.
Healthy, medium or small-sized sprouted tubers should be selected for planting.
For ideal planting, the tuber size should be about 2.5 cm in diameter and 25-40 grams in weight.
Larger tubers can be harvested. Each piece should have 2-3 long eye-shaped pieces.
The seed should be from the previous year’s crop, the seed rate being about 1.5 to 2.5 tonnes per hectare.
The harvested tubers can be used for the main crop. Care should be taken when cutting tubers.
Each piece should have two to three eyes and weigh at least 25 grams. If any diseased tuber is seen, it should be removed.
