How to get more profit from cotton crop

19/05/2019Posted on

The cotton system is ideally suitable for intercropping because of the relatively long duration and its slow growth in the initial stages. The objective of intercropping is to obtain a maximum yield of cotton crop along with additional returns from intercrops. The common practice of cotton cultivation is inter or mixed cropping with pulses.

Under irrigated conditions following intercropping systems are recommended:

  • Cotton + chilli (1: 1)
  • Cotton + onion (1: 5)
  • Cotton + soybean (1: 2)
  • Cotton + Sunhemp (As green manure) (1: 2)

Under rainfed conditions adopt the following intercropping systems:

  • Cotton + onion (1: 5)
  • Cotton + chilli (1: 1)
  • Cotton + groundnut (1: 3)
  • Cotton + green gram (1: 3)
  • Cotton + soybean (1: 3)
  • Cotton + peas (1: 2)

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.
