The right time for spraying is when the weed is in the stage of 2 to 4 leaves.
It is used to control broadleaf weeds in many crops.
Its quantity according to the crop is as follows:
Wheat – 500-800 ml
Maize – 1000 ml
Planting paddy – 1000 ml
Jowar – 1176 ml
Sugarcane 1400 to 2100 ml
Aquatic weed – 3000 ml per acre

This disease is mainly caused by the fungus Bipolaris sorokiniana. The symptoms of this disease are found in all parts of the plant and its effect is more visible on the leaves.
Initially, the symptoms of the disease appear in the form of small brown boat-shaped spots, which enlarge and spread all over the leaves.
The plant tissue dies and the green colour begins to dissipate, giving the plant a scorched appearance.
Due to this, the process of photosynthesis in the plant is severely affected, the seeds of the affected plant have less germination capacity.
The temperature of 25 °C and high relative humidity are favourable for this disease.
For chemical treatment spray Thiophanate Methyl 70% W/P @ 300 gm or Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP @ 300 gm or Hexaconazole 5% SC @ 400 ml or Tebuconazole 10% + Sulfur 65% WG @ 500 gm or Chlorothalonil 75% WP @ 400 gm or Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP @ 300 gm/acre.
As a biological treatment spray Trichoderma viride @ 500 gm/acre or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gm/acre.

This is the most important and destructive viral disease in bhindi.
This problem is visible in all stages of okra which affects the growth and yield of the crop.
The disease is transmitted by whitefly.
In this disease, the veins of the leave=s start appearing yellow and later the leaves start turning yellow.
Initially, infected leaves exhibit only yellow-coloured veins but in the later stages, the entire leaf turns completely yellow.
Affected fruits become pale yellow, deformed and hard.
Management:
Remove and destroy disease-affected leaves/plants from crop fields to avoid secondary spread.
Mona, Venus Plus, Parbhani Kranti, Arka Anamika varieties can tolerate yellow vein mosaic.
Do not use more fertilizers during plant growth.
If possible, choose early planting to control yellow mosaic virus disease.
Keep the tools sterile that are used in crops.
Use 10 sticky traps/acre to control whitefly infestation.
For chemical control, spray Diafenthiuron 50% WP @ 250 gm or Acetamiprid 20% SP @ 100 gm or Imidicloprid 17.8% SL @ 80 ml/acre.

The long nights of winter are cold and sometimes the temperature can even drop to freezing point or below it. In such a situation the water vapour, without converting into liquid directly, gets converted into minute ice particles, which is known as frost and it can be very harmful to flora and crops.
Due to the effect of frost, the leaves and flowers of the gram crop appear scorched and later fall. Even half-ripe fruits shrink. They wrinkle, the bud falls and the formation of grain is hindered.
To protect your crop from frost, you create smoke around your field, so that the temperature will be balanced and the crop can be saved from frost damage.
On the day when there is a possibility of frost, spray 0.1% solution of sulfur on the crop.
Keep in mind that the spray of solution covers plants well. The effect of the spray lasts for two weeks. If there is a possibility of cold waves and frost even after this period, a spray of sulfur should be repeated at an interval of 15 to 20 days.
As a biological treatment, spray Pseudomonas Fluorescens @ 500 gm/acre.

Eggs – are spherical in shape and creamy white laid singly.
Pupa – brown in colour, occurs in soil, leaf, pod and crop debris
Adult – light pale brownish-yellow stout moth. Forewing grey to pale brown with V-shaped speck.
the outer wings are pale smoky white with a broad blackish outer margin.
Symptoms of damage
The larva starts eating the green part (chlorophyll) present in the leaf, so that, in the end, only the veins of the leaf are visible, after which these larvae start eating the flowers and green pods. The larva enters the pod by piercing it and eats all the parts present inside the pod and making it hollow.
Management:
For chemical control, spray Profenofos 40 % + Cypermethrin 4% Ec @ 400ml/acre or Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG @ 100 gm/acre or Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 60ml/acre.
Apply 20-25 splints per acre of “T” shape in the field. It is beneficial to put these splints 10 – 20 cm higher than the height of the gram. Friendly insects like birds, myna, heron etc. come and sit on these splints, which eat the pod borer and save the crop from damage.
Use pheromone trap Helicoverpa armigera @ 10 per acre.
Use Bavaria bassiana 250 gm per acre.
With the sowing of the crop, connect your farm with the My Farm section of Gramophone app and keep on getting the exact advice and solutions related to smart agriculture throughout the crop cycle. Share this article with your friends with the share button below.
Nowadays due to changes in the weather, there is an attack of fall armyworm in the wheat crop.
This insect hides in piles of soil, straw, during the day and damages the wheat crop at night.
These pests eat the leaves and make holes in them like windows. In severe outbreaks, they eat the whole crop and destroy it.
This pest also damages the wheat grains.
Use 4-5 ‘T’ shaped bird perches per acre, to attract birds.
Therefore, management/control of this insect is necessary. In areas where the number of fall armyworm insect attacks is high, a spray of any of the following insecticides should be done immediately.
Use Beauveria Bassiana @ 250 gram/acre as biological treatment.

This month it is time for mustard to flower, remember that irrigation must be done.
The farmers who have cultivated peas should lightly irrigate before flowering and plan properly for the prevention of Powdery Mildew disease.
If the farmers want to plant a lentil crop, then they can sow late varieties.
Farmers planting potato crops will have to take special measures for crop protection from blight and virus-borne diseases.
Orchard farmers should adopt preventive measures to manage fruit fly in their crops like guava etc.
Harvest lemon, orange, guava at the appropriate time to reach the market.
Crops sown for fodder, such as berseem, can be harvested.

If you are going to cultivate paddy in Rabi season and want to prepare its nursery, then you have to select a 400 square meter area near a water source for transplanting in a one-acre field.
After this, do 2-3 dry ploughing with soil turning plough and apply 4 quintals of cow dung manure or compost manure in a 400 square meter nursery area and irrigate and leave it for 2 days.
After this use the cultivator twice it prepare the field and mix DAP 16 kg equally.
After this, plough the field, and after applying the plough, make small beds.
Keep the length of these beds 8-10 meters and the width 2.5 meters.
Leave a channel of 30-50 cm between two beds and sow the seeds evenly in the beds.

Nutrient management: In wheat crop at 20-25 days old stage, for good plant growth, Urea 40 kg + Zinc Sulphate @ 5 kg + Cosavet (Sulphur 90% WG) @ 5 kg + Majorsol (Phosphorus 15% +Potassium 15% +Manganese 15% +Zinc 2.5% +Sulphur 12%) @ 5 kg, all mixed together and broadcast evenly in the one-acre area and do light irrigation after broadcast.
Symptoms of root aphid damage: This pest is found more from the month of November to February. These are transparent insects which are yellowish brown in colour with very small and soft bodies. They are present near the base of the plants or on the roots of the plants and suck the sap of the plants. Due to the sucking of sap, the leaves turn yellow or mature prematurely and the plant dies.
Control measures: To control this pest, apply with Fertilizer, sand or soil, Thianova 25 (Thiamethoxam 25 % WG) @ 100 gm per acre, before irrigation and Spray Media (Imidacloprid 17.80% SL) @ 60 to 70 ml + Silicomaxx Gold @ 50 ml + Maxxroot (Humic Acid + Potassium + Fulvic Acid) @ 100 gm @ 150 to 200 per acre litres of water.
