Jassid problem and control measures in cotton crop

01/08/2024 Thursday August 1st, 2024

Symptoms of damage

Both nymphs and adults of this Insect damage the crop. This insect stops the growth of plants, by sucking the sap from the stems, leaves and flowers of the plants. Due to which the plants remain weak, small and dwarf and the yield is reduced. and sucking of sap by this insect, the leaves shrink and in case of severe infestation, the plant dies.

control measures

For the control of this pest, Spray media (Imidacloprid 17.8% SL) @ 50 ml or Thiamethoxam 25% wg @ 40 gm, or Lancer Gold (Acephate 50% + Imidacloprid 1.8% SP) @ 400 gm + (silico max) @ 50ml per acre, @ 150 to 200 liters of water.
For biological control, spray briged B (BEAUVERIA BASSIANA 1.15% WP) @1 kg/acre @ 150-200 liters of water.
Apart from this, farmers should install yellow sticky traps @ 8-10 per acre, in the field to report pest infestation. This will indicate the pest outbreak, on the basis of which the farmers can save the crop from pest infestation by adopting the above mentioned measures.

Importance of Organic Carbon for soil

31/07/2024 Wednesday July 31st, 2024

Humus is made of organic matter which improves soil health and maintains soil fertility.
The physical and chemical quality of the soil increases with its excess in the soil. The physical quality of the soil like soil structure, water holding capacity, etc. is increased by organic carbon.
Organic carbon is also very useful for the transfer and conversion of nutrients and for the growth of microorganisms.
It also prevents the leaching of nutrients.

Humic acid is very important in organic farming

30/07/2024 Tuesday July 30th, 2024

Humic acid is a versatile mineral produced from the mine. It can also be called soil conditioner in common language.
It increases the fertility of barren land and gives a new life by improving the structure of the soil.
Its most important function is to make the soil friable so that the development of roots can be more.
It accelerates the action of photosynthesis, which causes greenness in the plant and increases the branches.
It promotes the development of tertiary roots of the plants due to which the absorption of nutrients from the soil is more.
It also increases soil fertility by increasing plants’ metabolic activities.
It is also helpful in increasing the crop yield by increasing the fruits and flowers in the plants.
It increases the germination capacity of the seed and also protects the plants from adverse environments.

Know how to manage fertilizers in 20 to 30 days crop stage of chilli

28/07/2024 Saturday July 27th, 2024

Just as fertilizer management is necessary at the time of planting of chillies, similarly fertilizer management is very necessary 20 to 30 days after transplanting.
This management is done for the good growth of the chilli crop and to increase immunity against diseases.
At this time, the chilli plant roots are growing in the ground, at that time fertilizer management is very important for good growth of roots.
fertilizer management requires urea @ 45 kg/acre DAP @ 50 kg/acre, magnesium sulfate @ 15 kg/acre, sulfur @ 5 kg/acre, and zinc sulfate @ 5 kg/acre.
It is necessary to have moisture in the field at the time of use of fertilizers.

Chilli crop will be damaged due to leaf curl disease, know the preventive measures

27/07/2024 Saturday July 27th, 2024

Symptoms: Symptoms include curling of leaves upwards and downwards. Leaf edges turn light green to yellow, eventually spreading into the veins. Nodes and internodes become smaller in size. Infected plants appear bushy, with severely stunted growth, appear pale and produce more lateral branching. Fruits of infected plants become small.

Disease spread: The disease is spread through the white fly, a vector insect. The disease progresses with an increase in temperature and relative humidity. The virus mainly persists in weeds. Hot and dry weather favours the spread of the disease.

Control:
1. Preparation of nursery under nylon-net cover (50 mesh)
2. Remove infected plants and weeds from the field early
3. Two rows of border crops with maize, sorghum, or millet reduce disease spread

Chemical Control:- Fipnova (Fipronil 5% SC) @ 320-400 ml/acre.

Pink bollworm of cotton is dangerous, will ruin the crop

26/07/2024 Friday July 26th, 2024

Pink bollworm causes failure of buds to open, fruit shedding, lint damage and seed loss. Pink bollworm is a worldwide pest of cotton and in some regions of the world, it is the key cotton pest.
Pink bollworm eggs are deposited on or near the cotton bolls at the time of flowering.
Young larvae emerge after 3-5 days, entering the cotton bolls shortly after emergence where they feed internally within the pod, making a small hole in the exterior to allow air to penetrate.
Larvae usually pass through four instars. Pupation takes place in the ground, about 50 mm below the surface and adults emerge after about 9 days. Adults are nocturnal and females begin laying eggs a day or two after emergence, typically laying 200-400 eggs each.
Control:- Profenova Super (Cypermethrin 4% + Profenophos 40% EC) @400-600 Liter/Acre, Danitol (Fenpropathrin 10% EC) 300-400 Liter/Acre.

Don’t let the Mites attack in the chilli crop, know how to protect

25/07/2024 Thursday July 25th, 2024

These pests are small and red in colour and are found in large quantities on the tender parts of the crop like leaves, flower buds and twigs.
Webs are visible on the plant on which the mites attack. These insects attack soft parts of the plant by sucking the juice that eventually the plant dies.
The following products are used to control mites in chilli crops.
Spraying Omite (propargite 57% EC) @ 400 ml/acre or Oberon (spiromesifen 22.9% SC) @ 200 ml/acre or Abacin (abamectin 1.8% EC) @ 150 ml/acre.
Use kalichakra (metarhizium anispoli) @ 1 kg/acre as a biological treatment.

The use of spreader increases the effect of agricultural drugs and gives many benefits

24/07/2024 Wednesday July 24th, 2024

By using the spreader, whatever medicine the farmers put in the crops, it remains in the plants for a long time.
Due to this, the effect of the medicine is seen in the crops for a long time. It spreads the medicine well in every part of the plants.
Apart from this, due to falling dew drops or rain, whatever medicine we use in the crops gets washed away, if we use the spreader with the medicines, then the medicine can be saved from being washed away from the plants.
The cost of spreader is not very high and it also increases the efficiency of the use of other expensive drugs, so farmers must use it.
SilicoMaxx Gold available on nearby Gramophone Shops can be used as spreaders.

Outbreak of stem borer will increase in paddy, know the exact measures of protection

23/07/2024 Tuesday July 23rd, 2024

Outbreak of stem borer can be seen in paddy crop. To prevent this, you can use many methods and medicines. Let us know about all these methods one by one.

Biological control: Stem borer infestation can be controlled by using natural enemies such as predators, parasites, and pathogens.
Cultivation practices: Stem borer infestation can be minimized by proper field management practices like timely planting, proper irrigation, and soil fertility management.
Intercropping: Planting other crops along with paddy crops can reduce the population of stem borer.
Use of botanical insecticides: Some plants like neem, tulsi, and garlic have been shown to have stem borer-repellent properties and are used as botanical insecticides.
Chemical control: Use ProfeNova Super (Cypermathin 4 %EC+Profenofos 40%EC) @400-600ml/acre or FipNova (Fipronil 5% SC)@400-600ml/acre.
