How to control Fall armyworm in wheat

  • 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.

  • Novaluran 5.25 %+ Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC @ 600 ml/acre or Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 60 ml/acre, or Emamectin benzoate 5% SG @ 100 gm/acre

  • Use Beauveria Bassiana @ 250 gram/acre as biological treatment.

How to control leaf blight disease in Wheat

How to control leaf blight disease in Wheat

  • 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.

Prevention of late blight disease in potato crop

08/12/2023Posted on
Prevention of late blight disease in potato crop

  • It affects leaves, stems and tubers. 

  • In this disease, irregularly shaped water-soaked spots are formed on the leaves, which causes the early fall of leaves. Due to these spots, a brown layer is formed on the leaves which affects the photosynthesis process of the plant.

  • As the process of photosynthesis is affected, the plants are unable to produce food, stunting the plant’s growth and the plant dries prematurely.

  • White growth develops under the surface of the leaves, on the stem and nodes, at these points, the stem breaks and the plant falls. In tubers, purplish-brown spots spread over the entire surface when cut, and rusty brown necrosis appears from the affected tuber surface to the centre.

  • Chemical Treatment:- Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC @ 300 ml or Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP @ 300 g or Tebuconazole 10% + Sulfur 65% WG @ 500 g or Metalaxyl 4% + Mancozeb 64%WP @ Spray 600 gm or Tebuconazole 50% + Trifloxystrobin 25% wg @ 150 ml per acre.

  • Biological treatment:- Use Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gm/acre.

Symptoms and control measures of white rot in garlic crops

  • The leaves turn yellow at the base and wither and fall.

  • Roots and buds – covered with a fluffy white mycelium

  • The affected bud becomes watery, and the outer layer cracks as the bud dry and shrivels.

  • Eventually, small brown and black sclerotia/fungi develop on the affected parts of the bud or within the tissue.

Control measures 

  • To prevent this, crop rotation should be adopted.

  • The infected plant should be destroyed.

And as a soil treatment around the plants, Dhanustin (Carbendazim 50% WP) @ 15 gm (according to the Directorate of onion and garlic research) or Carmanova (Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP) @ 15 gm (Indian Institute of horticultural research) 30 grams + Maxx-root @ 10 gm/15 litres of water, Drenching or deep spraying near the root zone of the plants so that the water reaches the roots of the plants.

Nutrient management and control measure of root aphid in wheat crops!

06/12/2023Posted on
Nutrient management and control measure of root aphid in wheat crops

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.

The use of Tri-Coat Maxx in wheat will speed up the growth of the crop

  • In Tri Coat Maxx, Organic Carbon 3% (a blend of Humic, Fulvic, and Organic Nutrients) 

  • It is effective for good germination.

  • Increases fertilizer efficiency and helps in rapid root growth.

  • It enhances the absorption of various nutrients in the crop.

  • Helps in increasing the vegetative growth and fertility of plants.

  • The crop remains green and healthy.

  • It is an organic product hence improves soil structure.

Humic acid: Humic acid increases the germination of seeds and root development. Increases the availability of nutrients already present in the soil and makes it drought-tolerant. It increases the activity of microorganisms available in the soil. Thereby making it an excellent root stimulator.

Fulvic: Fulvic accelerates the process of photosynthesis. Helps to absorb the nutrients present in the soil.

Dose: Broadcast Tri Coat Max @ 4 kg per acre at the time of soil preparation or along with the fertilizer, and after 21-35 days of sowing, broadcast Tri Coat Maxx once again at the rate of 4 kg per acre and irrigate it, and get the best produce.

Measures for the problem of fall armyworm pest in maize crop

This pest attacks all stages of maize. Generally, it attacks the leaves of maize, but in case of severe infestation, it also starts harming the corn cob. The larvae attack the upper part of the plant or the soft leaves, small holes appear on the leaves of the affected plant.

Newborn larvae scrape and eat the leaves of the plant, causing white stripes to appear on the leaves. As the larva grows up, it completely eats the upper leaves of the plant. Finally, they attack the cobs, which reduces both the quality and the yield.

Control measures

To control, spray Emanova (Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG) @ 80 gm or Cosko (Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC) 80 ml + SilicoMaxx gold  @ 50 ml, per acre @ 150 to 200 litres of water.

Weed control in potato crops!

01/12/2023Posted on
Weed control in potato crops!

Potatoes are the main cash crop of the Rabi season. Weeds compete with the main crop for nutrients, water, space, and light. Due to this there is a lack of nutrients in the plants and there is an outbreak of many types of pests and diseases.

Weed control

When the potato crop reaches 15 to 20 days (plant height 5 cm) for weed control, spray BARRIER (Metribuzin 70% WP) @ 300 gm/acre with 150 to 200 litres of water.

  • It effectively controls many types of grass and broadleaf weeds.

  • Barrier acts through the roots and leaves.

  • It can be used for both applications before germination and 15 to 20 days after sowing, when the height of the plant is 5 cm.

  • Barrier is cost-effective having broad spectrum activity and low dosage.

  • It has no ill effect on subsequent crops.

  • By controlling weeds, potato crops can be saved from damage caused by weeds and production can also be increased.
