Don't let the Mites attack in the chilli crop

  • 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

24/07/2024Posted on
The use of spreader increases the effect of agricultural drugs and gives many benefits

  • 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

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.

Damping off will cause 60 to 75 percent loss in onion

22/07/2024Posted on
Damping off will cause 60 to 75 percent loss in onion

The disease is more prevalent in the Kharif season/rainy season and causes about 60-75% loss. Moderate temperatures with high soil moisture and high humidity lead to the development of the disease.

  • Damping-off before germination: Seeds and seedlings rot before they emerge from the soil.

  • Post-germination damping-off: The pathogen attacks the collar region of the seedlings at the soil surface. The collar portion rots and eventually the seedling collapses and dies.

Control: Crop rotation with cereal crops and soil fumigation or solarization may help reduce damping-off in fields. Improving soil drainage by using raised beds, and regulating soil moisture by avoiding excessive irrigation help to reduce disease.

Some fungicide seed treatments or soil drenches can help prevent serious damping-off.

Outbreak of girdle beetle will be fatal in soybean, learn preventive measures

20/07/2024Posted on
Outbreak of girdle beetle will be fatal in soybean

  • Infestation of the girdle beetle is observed at the seedling stage. A characteristic symptom is the presence of 2 whorls on the branch or stem.

  • The larva bores into the soybean stem. The inner part of the stem is eaten by the larva.

  • Tunnelling inside the stem, above the circular cut is the infected part. After infection, the plant is unable to get nutrition so it dries up.

  • The plant is cut about 15 to 25 cm above the ground. The main damage is caused by the larvae of the pest.

  • The pest attack initially starts from the last week of July to the first fortnight of August. The pest remains active from July to October, causing maximum damage to the crop.

  • during August and September. Heavy infestations can result in yield losses of up to 40%.

  • For control spray Profenova (Profenophos 50% EC) @ 400 ml or Novalaxam (Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC) @ 50 ml + Silicomax Gold @ 50 ml per acre.

Is there zinc deficiency in your paddy crop

  • Zinc deficiency causes multiple symptoms that usually appear 2 to 3 weeks after transplanting (WAT) rice seedlings.

  • Zinc deficiency most often occurs in cool, wet spring weather and symptoms usually appear soon after flooding in rice.

  • Zinc deficiency can stunt plant growth, delay maturity and reduce yield. It also makes the leaves very sensitive to light and heat.

  • Symptoms are most often seen in new-growth leaves that develop brown blotches and streaks that may fuse to cover older leaves entirely, plants remain stunted and in severe cases may die.

Fall armyworm will ruin the entire crop in a short time, know the preventive measures

18/07/2024Posted on
Fall armyworm will ruin the entire crop in a short time

These insects travel more than 100 kilometres in search of food like locusts. These insects make a home on the shell covering the leaves and cobs of standing crops in the fields and eat them by scratching them. Due to their outbreak, white stripes also start forming on the leaves of maize. Although they live only for 30-35 days, they also have the power to damage crops in a single night. Especially female armyworms increase the problem by laying eggs in the crops. 

How to Identify Fall Armyworms?

  • They are green, pink, brown or black in colour

  • Between their eyes, a white colour pattern like the letter Y inverted English is made.

  • They have trapezoid pattern spots on each segment of their body.

Chemical Control

use Novalaxam (Thiamethoxam 12.60 % + Lambda-Cyhalothrin 09.50 % Zc)@ 80ml/Acre Emanova (Emamectin Benzoate 5 % Sg) @ 100gm/acre Cover (Chlorantraniliprole 18.5 % W/W Sc) @60 ml/Acre.

Why are Plant Growth Regulators necessary for crops, know their importance!

16/07/2024Posted on
Why are Plant Growth Regulators necessary for crops

  • Plant growth regulators act as growth regulators for crops.

  • It plays a very important role in the growth of roots, growth of flowers.

  • Crops require oxygen and micronutrients for growth, all of these provided by the plant growth regulators.

  • Crops require very small amounts of these

  • They act on those parts of crops which play an important role in root development, fruit development, flower production, etc.

  • The crops that remain small are helpful in the growth by increasing the length of the stems of those crops.

  • Help to break the dormancy in seeds by cell division.
