Importance of Microbes in Soil (ZnSB )

05/05/2019Posted on
  1. India’s agricultural land has a deficit of zinc is 50%, which will be up to 63% by 2025.
  2. Zinc is an essential micronutrient for plant growth. But it remains unavailable in the soil which plants cannot use easily.
  3. This bacterium provides an available form of zinc and as well as control of ‘Khera disease’ in paddy, increased crop yield and quality of yield, improve soil health and increases the activity of hormones and also increases the activity of photosynthesis.
  4. Zinc-soluble bacteria produce organic acids in the soil and convert insoluble zinc (zinc sulfide, zinc oxide, and zinc carbonate) into Zn+  (Available form of Zinc) form and maintain soil pH.
  5. zinc soluble bacteria @ 2 kg/acre mix with 50 kg of well-decomposed FYM and broadcast in the field.

Save cauliflower to diseases – May cause serious damage

03/05/2019Posted on
  • Due to the fungal diseases about 4 – 25% crop loss has been reported in production.
  • Cauliflower is one of the important vegetable crops in India.
  • Black rot, Soft rot, Alternaria leaf spot, Downy mildew, and wilt, etc. disease causes serious damage and reduces the quality of cauliflower crop.
  • Management practices is more important to control of disease:-
  • For Black rot & Soft rot :- Spray of Streptocycline @ 20 gm/acre and Copper Oxychloride 50% @ 300 gm/acre.
  • For fungal disease :- Spray of Mancozeb 75% WP @ 400 gm/acre OR Carbendazim 50% @ 300gm/acre OR Tebuconazole 50% + Trifloxystrobin 25% WP @ 120 gm/acre can be used.

Importance of Iron in Crop Production

02/05/2019Posted on
  • Iron (Fe) is essential for crop growth and production. Iron is a component of many enzymes associated with energy transfer, nitrogen reduction, and fixation.
  • In high pH, soil iron turns into unavailable form.
  • Young leaves are chlorotic in iron-deficient plants.
  • Pale yellow mottling starts at the base of the leaves and spreads upward along the midrib and outward along the veins.
  • Its deficiency can be corrected by spray @150-200g/acre ferrous sulfate till the chlorotic symptoms do not appear on young leaves.

How to maintain healthy chilli nursery

30/04/2019Posted on

A major Problem:- Damping off

  1. In the nursery the disease may appear in patches, Seedlings die due to this disease before or after emergence.
  2. If we carefully dig down into the soil, you will find seeds that have become soft and mushy which will start to disintegrate.
  3. The stem of young seedlings showing water soaking lesions, brownish color and shriveling of the stem which fall over and die.
  4. Optimal conditions for the development of the disease are:- Poor drainage, High relative humidity (90-100%) and higher soil temperature (20-28 °C)  

Management–

  • Provide light, but frequent irrigation with better drainage.
  • Thiophanate methyl applies on soil 0.5 gm/square meter at the time of nursery bed preparation.
  • Second Spray at 20 DAS:- Metalaxyl-M ( Mefanoxam ) 4% + Mancozeb 64% WP 500 gm/acre.

How to improve production by improving soil health

28/04/2019Posted on

To increase the production by  50%, we should take three important measures in the soil

  • Increasing the amount of nutrients in the soil.
  • Improve the physical condition of the soil.
  • Maintaining the balance of pH in the soil.
  1. To increase the amount of nutrients in the soil
  • After harvesting the previous crop, the crop residues should not be destroyed by fire.
  • After harvesting, cultivate the farm twice, so that the crop residues dissolve and provide nutrients to the plants.
  • Apply FYM @ 10 t/acre OR Vermicompost 2.5 t /acre + SSP @100 kg apply at the time of ploughing in the field.
  • Apply (1 kg of micronutrients + PSB 2 kg + KMB 2 kg + NFB 2 kg + ZnSB 4 kg + Trichoderma 2 kg) per acre on sowing time.

2. To improve the physical condition of the soil –

  • If the farmer having an adequate amount of water plough the field after harvesting and mix speedkampost @ 4kg/acre, after mixing provide one irrigation.
  • In 15-20 days, crop residues with the help of Speed ​kampost disintegrate well and improve soil structure.
  • 3. For the pH balance of soil –
  • To control the soil pH, slow-release nutrients should be used.
  • Fertilizers should be used in a balanced amount of more Acid and Base content.
  • The soil pH rage maintains between 6.0 to 7.0 for good production of crops.
  • For the improvement of acidic soil, the amount of calcium carbonate should be applied according to the soil test report.
  • For the improvement of alkaline soil, gypsum should be applied according to the soil test report.
