Use of vermicompost along with chemical fertilizers will be beneficial

25/10/2024 Friday October 25th, 2024

Vermicompost contains all the nutrients, hormones and enzymes which are important for plants, whereas fertilizers contain only nitrogen, phosphorus and potash.
Its effect remains in the field for a long time and the plants gradually receive the nutrients.
It is a complete nutritious fertilizer for crops which contain a high amount of organic matter. This increases the water absorption and water-holding capacity of the soil and also proves helpful in preventing soil erosion.
It contains humic acid, which is helpful in reducing the pH value of the soil. It plays an important role in improving unfertile land.
With its use, the beneficial micro-organisms found inside the soil get food, due to which they remain more active.
These work as natural fertilizers for all crops and have no side effects.
This improves the quality of the produce like size, colour, shine and taste and also increases the production capacity of the land.

If you want bumper yield of wheat then do seed treatment before sowing

24/10/2024 Thursday October 24th, 2024

By treating the seeds properly before sowing, all the wheat seeds germinate equally after sowing.
This protects the wheat crop from soil-borne and seed-borne diseases.
Seed treatment protects the wheat crop from deadly diseases like Karnal bunt, Rust, Loose smut, Blight etc.
In wheat crops, we can do seed treatment by two methods: chemical and biological.
For chemical treatment, before sowing, treat the seeds with CARBENDAZIM 12% + MANCOZEB 63% @ 2.5 gm/kg seed or CARBOXIN 17.5%+ THIRAM 17.5% @ 2.5 gm/kg seed.
As Biological treatment, do seed treatment at the rate of TRICHODERMA VIRIDE @ 5 gm/kg + PSB @ 2 gm or PSB @ 2 gm + mycorrhiza @ 5 gram/kg seeds.

Do this spraying in onion nursery at 20 days stage

23/10/2024 Wednesday October 23rd, 2024

It is very important to manage spraying within twenty days of sowing the seeds in onion nursery.
This spraying is done to control fungal diseases and pests as well as for good growth.
Spraying at this stage provides good initial growth to the onion nursery.
To protect against fungal diseases (Novaxil) spray Mancozeb 64% + Metalaxil 8% WP @ 60 gm/pump.
For pest management (NovaLice) spray Fipronil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG @ 5 gm/pump.
Apart from this, for faster growth of plants, spray (NovaMaxx) gibberellic acid 0.001% @ 75 ml/acre.

Critical stages of irrigation in mustard crop

22/10/2024 Tuesday October 22nd, 2024

Mustard is a crop with a duration of 110-120 days, in this, the first irrigation should be done at the time of flowering i.e. about 30 days after sowing.
In this, second irrigation should be done at the time of pod formation or about 60-65 days after sowing.
When mustard is grown as a mixed crop, it is irrigated as the main crop.
In many areas, pure mustard crop is grown as a non-irrigated crop.
The mustard crop is very sensitive to lack of moisture in the soil during the flowering and grain formation stages. That is why irrigation is necessary 25 days after its sowing.
If it rains a few days before the scheduled time of irrigation, the crop should not be irrigated.
There should be a good drainage system in mustard crop fields.
The mustard plant is very sensitive to water logging conditions.
When only one irrigation is available, irrigation should be done only 30 to 35 days after sowing.

Mustard farmers should prepare their fields in this way, keep these things in mind

21/10/2024 Saturday October 19th, 2024

How to prepare the field for soybean sowing

Mustard cultivation is considered best in loamy or sandy soil with good drainage system. If there is no proper arrangement for drainage, then every year before harvesting the crop, Dhecha should be grown as green manure.
For good yield, the pH value of the soil should be 7.0. Highly acidic and alkaline soil is not suitable for its cultivation.
The rate of mustard seeds should be kept at 5-6 kg/hectare in rainfed areas and 4.5-5 kg/hectare in irrigated areas.
In irrigated areas, after harvesting of Kharif crop, first plowing should be done with soil turning plow and then three-four plowings should be done with disc plough.
After plowing in the irrigated area, the field should be leveled so that clods are not formed in the field. Deep plowing in summer destroys insects and weeds.
If there is lack of moisture in the land before sowing then the field should be plowed. The field should be made weed-free before sowing.
In rainy areas, after every rain, plowing should be done with a bladed plow and compaction should be done to conserve the moisture so that the soil remains moist.

Information about three main methods of planting potatoes

20/10/2024 Saturday October 19th, 2024

In India, farmers generally plant potatoes in three ways. In today’s article, let us know about these three methods.

Planting potatoes on ridges: After preparation of the field, ridges are made at a distance of 45-60 cm with the help of a spade. Planting of potatoes is done on the ridges with the help of khurpi.
Flat method: Planting of potatoes is done on a flat surface in shallow furrows. Ridges are made after germination when plants attain 10-12 cm in height. This method is suitable for light soils. Later on, two to three earthings are done to make the ridges thick.
Planting potatoes on a flat surface followed by ridges: In this method field is prepared and then shallow furrows are opened on the flat surface. Potatoes are planted in furrows and immediately after planting tubers, small ridges are made. Later on, these ridges are made thick by earthing up the side soil.

Potato farmers must keep these things in mind while selecting seeds

19/10/2024 Saturday October 19th, 2024

For potato cultivation, farmers should select only high-yielding, pest-free, healthy and pure seeds. The use of certified seeds is very important for good yield.
It is also advisable to replace the seed stock every 3-4 years as failure to do so may spoil the varieties and result in low yields.
Healthy, medium or small-sized sprouted tubers should be selected for planting.
For ideal planting, the tuber size should be about 2.5 cm in diameter and 25-40 grams in weight.
Larger tubers can be harvested. Each piece should have 2-3 long eye-shaped pieces.
The seed should be from the previous year’s crop, the seed rate being about 1.5 to 2.5 tonnes per hectare.
The harvested tubers can be used for the main crop. Care should be taken when cutting tubers.
Each piece should have two to three eyes and weigh at least 25 grams. If any diseased tuber is seen, it should be removed.

Construction Method of Zero Energy Cool Chamber

18/10/2024 Friday October 18th, 2024

A rectangle pops about 165 X 115 cm by depositing bricks. A double wall of bricks is constructed with the help of soil mud on this platform. The space between 7-8 cm between the double wall of bricks is kept empty. The height of the double wall is kept up to 60-65 cm.
After this, the sieved gravel is soaked in water and filled in space between the double walls.
Constructed from pieces of bamboo, gunny or sackcloth. The length and breadth of this length are kept at par with the entire cool chamber.
The water tank is placed at a height of 4 to 5 feet with 1 pipe. The pipe is routed between double walls of bricks as well as 15–15 cm in the pipe. Holes are made in the pipe for water to fall and leak and this water keeps the sand and bricks wet.
The fruits and vegetables are kept in plastic baskets and kept in this cool chamber and the lid is placed on top.

Identify foot and mouth disease in animals by its symptoms

17/10/2024 Thursday October 17th, 2024

This disease is caused to animals by a very small virus or virus that is not visible to the naked eye. Which is called the foot and mouth virus.

Reasons for the spread of the disease:

This disease mainly spreads through direct contact with infected animal secretions and excretory fluids such as saliva, dung, milk, grain, water, grass, utensils, hands of the milker and through the air. Viruses are in large numbers in this discharge and enter the body of a healthy animal through the mouth and nose.

Symptoms of the disease:

When this disease occurs, the animal has a high fever (104-106*F). Small blisters are formed in the mouth of the sick animal mainly on the top of the tongue, inside the lips, on the gums as well as in the space between the hooves. Then gradually these blisters coalesce to form bigger blisters. When the time comes, these blisters burst and there are wounds in them. Due to blisters in the mouth, animals stop chewing and stop eating and drinking, saliva keeps falling continuously from the mouth, as well as the sound like chap-chap is also heard while running the mouth. Milk production in milch animals is reduced by up to 80%. Animals start getting weak. Even after getting healthy, the affected animal keeps on panting for months and many times for life.

Importance of Sulfur in crops

16/10/2024 Wednesday October 16th, 2024

Sulfur is helpful in increasing the percentage of protein in crops, as well as sulfur contributes to the production of chlorophyll, which causes the leaf to remain green and produce food for plants.
Sulfur increases the efficiency and availability of nitrogen.
In pulse crops, using sulfur, is helpful in making more nodules in the roots of the plants, due to which the bacteria called Rhizobium present in the roots of the plants, take the nitrogen present in the atmosphere, and make it available to the crops.
Enhances the quality of tobacco, vegetables and fodder crops.
The important use of sulfur is to increase the amount of protein and oil in oilseeds.
Sulfur increases the amount of starch in potatoes.
Sulfur is called soil reformer because it lowers the pH of the soil.
