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.

How to control termites in Rabi crops

15/10/2024 Tuesday October 15th, 2024

Termite is a polyphagous insect, which means that it attacks on all crops, termites cause a lot of damage to the roots of the plants. They also eat the stem when the infestation is high.
Crops like potato, tomato, chilli, brinjal, cauliflower, cabbage, mustard, radish, wheat etc. are the major crops that are infected by termite.
Timely management is necessary to control this pest.
Seeds should be sown after seed treatment with insecticide.
Must treat soil with biological insecticide METARHIZIUM ANISOPLIAE
Raw cow dung manure should not be used because raw dung is the staple food of this insect.
To control termites, CHLORPYRIPHOS 20 % EC @ 1 liter should be mixed with 4 kg of sand and applied to the field at the time of sowing.

Symptoms and control of yellow vein mosaic virus in okra crop

14/10/2024 Friday October 11th, 2024

It is a viral disease which spreads further due to the sucking insect present in the crop.

Symptoms: In the early stages of the disease, the veins of affected plant leaves turn yellow, but as the disease incidence increases or in the later stages of the disease, this yellowness spreads over the entire leaf and as a result, the leaves start to curl and shrink, and the growth of the plant stops. The fruits of the affected plant become pale yellow, deformed and hard.

Control: This disease is mainly spread by white fly, for its control spraying of Novaceta (Acetamiprid 20% SP) @ 30 gm per acre or Pager (Diphenthiuron 50% WP) @ 240 gm/acre in 150 to 200 litres of water.

There are many benefits of soil treatment in potato crop

13/10/2024 Friday October 11th, 2024

Soil treatment before sowing in potato crops is very important.
Soil fertility and nutrient management are very important for disease-free crops and good yields. These have a direct impact on the quality of the crop.
In the Rabi season, due to excessive moisture in the soil before the sowing of potatoes, there is a high incidence of fungal diseases and pests.
To prevent fungal diseases and pests, soil treatment is done with fungicides and insecticides.
By treating the soil with fungicides and insecticides, diseases like tuber rot do not occur in the potato crop.
Soil treatment also helps in preventing potato rot disease.
Soil treatment is also very important to overcome the deficiency of nutrients in the soil. Its main nutrients are used.
Soil treatment improves the structure of the soil and production also increases to a great extent.

Importance of consortia PK bacteria

12/10/2024 Friday October 11th, 2024

It contains a mixture of two types of bacteria i.e. phosphorus solubilizing (PSB) and potash mobilizing bacteria (KMB).
It helps in the supply of potash and phosphorus which are two major elements of soil and crop, it is used more in pulses.
This bacteria converts insoluble potash and phosphorus that is found in the soil into soluble form to provide plants.
It causes the plant to get the necessary elements in time, and the crop grows well,
Crop production increases as well as the availability of nutrients in the soil.

Weed Management in Potato Crop 1-5 Days of Sowing

11/10/2024 Friday October 11th, 2024

The potato crop is the main Rabi crop, due to excessive moisture in the soil left after the rainy season, weeds start growing in large numbers after sowing of the potato crop.
All types of weeds can be controlled by using timely and proper weedicide.
Chemical method: – In this method weed control is done using chemicals. Weed can be controlled very well by using these chemicals periodically.
1-3 days after sowing: – PENDIMETHALIN 38.7% CS @ 700 ml/acre should be sprayed 1-3 days after sowing for chemical control of weeds.
This way spraying can control the weeds that grow in the early stage of sowing.
Second spraying after sowing: – METRIBUZIN 70% WP @ 100 gm per acre 3-4 days after sowing or 5 cm of the potato plant.
It is very important to have sufficient moisture at the time of spraying the weedicide.

Why seed treatment is necessary

10/10/2024 Thursday October 10th, 2024

Seed treatment is very important for agriculture, which prevents seed and soil borne diseases.
70 to 80 percent of the farmers of the crops in the country do not change the seeds and use only the old seeds.
Due to this, the risk of pest and disease is high, As a result the cost increases.
Only seed treatment can increase production by 6 to 10 percent.
Add after the line-The effect of insecticides also increases with seed treatment and the crop becomes safe for 20 to 25 days.

FYM improves the physical structure of the soil and increases air circulation in the soil.
Improves soil water level by increasing the water holding capacity of the soil.
The roots of plants grow well, plants uptake more of the nutrients.
Increases the amount of organic matter in the soil and the alkali exchange capacity of the soil.
The number of beneficial bacteria in the soil increases. Due to this, the yield of the crop is very good.
FYM helps in converting complex compounds into simple compounds.
Prevents soil erosion by increasing the cohesion of soil particles.
Nitrogen 0.5%, Phosphorus 0.25% and Potash 0.5% are found in this.

Metarhizium anisopliae is a very useful biological control.
It is used as an insecticide against about 300 species of white grubs, termites, grasshoppers, planthoppers, aphids, bugs, and beetles, etc.
Take 1 kg of Metarhizium anisopliae/acre and mix it with 50-100 kg of well-decomposed FYM and broadcast it in an open field.
Spores of this fungus germinate on the body of the insect’s insufficient moisture.
This fungus eats the body of the host insect.
It can also be used as spraying in standing crops.
It is very important to have the necessary moisture in the field before its use.

Prevention of bulb nematodes in onion and garlic before sowing

07/10/2024 Monday October 7th, 2024

Bulb nematode in Onion and Garlic:- Nematode enters through stomata or plant wounds and creates galls or malformations in plant growth.
This allows for the entrance of secondary pathogens like fungi and bacteria. Symptoms are stunted growth, discolouration of bulbs, and swollen stems.

Management:

Apply Carbofuran 3% granular insecticide@ 8 kg/ acre in soil for better control of Nematodes.
Apply Paecilomyces lichenous (nematofree) @ 1 kg/acre or Neem Cake @ 200 Kg/ acre in soil for biological control of Nematodes.
Bulbs that show signs of this disease should not be kept as seeds.
Proper sanitation of fields and tools is essential because this nematode can survive and reproduce in infected plants and residues.
