Nutrient Management in Pea

06/11/2017Posted on

Nutrient Management in Pea:

A basal dose of 30 kg N per hectare at planting is sufficient for stimulating early growth.

  • Higher dose of nitrogen has adverse effect on nodulation fixation.
  • The crop gives good response to phosphorus application as it favours nitrogen fixation by increasing nodule formation. It also increases yield and quality of pea.
  • Potassic fertilizers also have effect in increasing the yield and nitrogen fixation ability of the plant.

General Recommendations:

General recommended fertilizer doses depend upon the:

  • Fertility of soil and amount of organic manure applied to the crop.
  • Sowing conditions:  Whether field is irrigated or rainfed?
  • If the crop is rainfed, doses become just half.

How much to apply?

  • 15-20 t/ha of well-decomposed FYM is incorporated into the soil.
  • For the better yield in pea use 10 kg  Urea, 50 kg DAP, 15 kg MOP and 6 kg Sulphur 90% per acre during the land preparation use the half quantity of urea and the full quantity of remain fertilizer and remaining quantity of urea used in two split doses during the irrigation.

Fertilizer application for Chickpea

01/11/2017Posted on

चने की फसल दलहनी होने के कारण इसको नाइट्रोजन की कम आवश्यकता होती है क्योंकि चने के पौधों की जड़ों में ग्रन्थियां पाई जाती है। ग्रन्थियों में उपस्थित जीवाणु वातावरण की नाइट्रोजन का जड़ों में स्थिरीकरण करके पौधे की नाइट्रोजन की पूर्ति कर देती है। लेकिन प्रारम्भिक अवस्था में पौधे की जड़ों में ग्रंन्थियों का पूर्ण विकास न होने के कारण पौधे को भूमि से नाइट्रोजन लेनी होती है। अतः नाइट्रोजन की आपूर्ति हेतु 20 कि.ग्रा. नाइट्रोजन प्रति हैक्टेयर की आवश्यकता होती है। इसके साथ 40 कि.ग्रा. फॉस्फोरस प्रति हैक्टेयर की दर से देना चाहिये। नाइट्रोजन की मात्रा यूरिया या डाई अमोनियम फास्फेट (डीएपी) तथा गोबर खाद व कम्पोस्ट खाद द्वारा दी जा सकती है। जबकि फास्फोरस की आपूर्ति सिंगल सुपर फास्फेट या डीएपी या गोबर व कम्पोस्ट खाद द्वारा की जा सकती है। एकीकृत पोषक प्रबन्धन विधि द्वारा पोषक तत्वों की आपूर्ति करना लाभदायक होता है। एक हैक्टेयर क्षेत्र के लिए 2.50 टन गोबर या कस्पोस्ट खाद को भूमि की तैयारी के समय अच्छी प्रकार से मिट्‌टी में मिला देनी चाहिये। बुवाई के समय 22 कि.ग्रा. यूरिया तथा 125 कि.ग्रा. सिंगल सुपर फास्फेट या 44 कि.ग्रा. डीएपी में 5 किलो ग्राम यूरिया मिलाकर प्रति हैक्टेयर की दर से पंक्तियों में देना पर्याप्त रहता है।

Management of Purple Blotch in Onion

30/10/2017Posted on

Management of Purple Blotch in Onion:-

Initially small, elliptical lesions or spots that often turn purplish-brown which are surrounded by chlorotic margin. If the spots enlarge, chlorotic margin extend above and below the actual lesion. Lesions usually girdle leaves, causing them to fall over. Lesions may also start at the tips of older leaves.

For managing the disease effectively, healthy seed should be used. Crop rotation of 2-3 years with non related crops should be followed. Spay fungicides, Mancozeb 75% WP @ 45 gm/15 litre of water or Hexaconazole 5% SC @ 20 ml/15 litre of water or Propiconazole 25% EC @ 15 ml/ 15 litre of water at 10-15 days intervals from 30 days after transplanting or as soon as disease appears.

Thrips management in Onion

29/10/2017Posted on

Thrips (Thrips tabaci) is most injurious insect pests of onion. These are common all over the country where onion crop is grown. Onions infected with thrips develop spotted appearance on leaves which turn pale-white blotches due to drainage of sap. Sometimes 50-60% losses in bulb crop are observed due to thrips attack. Seed production including viability of seeds are hampered due to attack of thrips. The insect is very minute and yellow to dark brown in colour. The life-cycle of insect is 8-10 days. It is found in the axil of green leaves where it sucks juice of early-emerging leaves. The adults hibernate in soil, on grass and other plants in onion fields. The thrips also over-winter in bulbs and act as source of infestation in the following year. They multiply in a large number during March-April on seed and bulb onions in Northern parts of India. The infested plants show stunted growth with twisted leaves. If the infestation comes in early stage of growth, bulb formation stops completely and plants die slowly. Bulbs in store are also attacked by thrips. Profenofos 50%EC @ 45 Ml/pump or Emamectin Benzoate @ 15 Gm/pump or Spinosad @ 10 Ml/Pump should be sprayed along with silicon base solvent to control the insect. Soil application of Fipronil 0.03% GR @ 5 Kg /Acre or Phorate or Carbofuran granules @ 4 kg /Acre is also recommended.
