Importance of Magnesium in Plants

  • Magnesium plays an important role in the process of plant photosynthesis and is a key element in chlorophyll, it is one of the most important nutrients, involved in many enzyme activities and the structural stabilization of Plant Tissues.
  • The ideal range of magnesium in the soil is 0.5-40gm/kg, however these days soil content of magnesium is found to be at 3-25gm/kg leading to magnesium deficiency.
  • Nitrogen deficiency in the soil only intensifies the deficiency scale of available nutritional balance in the soil, thereby affecting overall crop health.
  • In the early stages can be detected on lower and older leaves. The leaf veins appear darker in color while the area between the veins attains a yellowish color.
  • Magnesium deficiency in soil can be arrested by applying Magnesium sulfate ( 9.5 %) as Basal dosage at the time of Sowing.
  • Spraying 70-80 g/acre magnesium sulfate twice at weekly intervals.

How to protect Brinjal from Fruit Borer

22/05/2019Posted on

  • The short pinkish larva of the pest initially bore into the terminal shoots resulting in withering and drying of the shoot.
  • In the later stage, it bores into the young fruits by making holes and feeds inside and lose their market value fruits plugged with excreta.

Management:

  • Install pheromone trap @ 5 /acre .
  • Continuous cropping of brinjal on the same piece of land should be avoided.
  • Fruits showing boring should be picked and destroyed.
  • Spray the crop with Cypermethrin 10% EC @ 300ml/acre or Lambda Cyhalothrin 5% EC @ 200-250 ml/acre at fortnight intervals starting from 35 days after transplanting to control the pest.
