Measures to prevent leaf-eating caterpillar in soybean

Just as there is an outbreak of sucking insects in soybean crop, in the same way the outbreak of caterpillars like tobacco caterpillar, semilooper, village pod borer etc. is very high. They damage stem, flower and fruit in soybean crop.

Semilooper: –

Semilooper attacks the soybean crop a lot, causing a loss of up to 30-40% in the total yield of soybean crop. Its outbreak occurs from the early stages of soybean crop, it affects a lot at this stage of the crop and if the outbreak of this worm occurs in the pod or flowering stage, it causes great loss in the yield of soybean. Worm outbreaks usually occur in late July and early September.

Bihar Hairy Caterpillar (Spilosoma obliqua) :-

Newborn caterpillars live in swarms and all together attack the leaves and eat the green part by scraping it. And later spreading on the whole plant damages the whole plant, only the net remains on the leaves eaten by these caterpillars.

Tobacco caterpillar

The larvae of this insect scrape the leaves of soybean and eat the chlorophyll of the leaves, due to which a whitish yellow color appears on the eaten leaves. They also damage stems, buds, flowers and fruits when attacked excessively. Due to which only the sticks are visible on the plants.

to control their
Spray Profenova (Profenophos 50% EC) @ 400 ml or Novalaxam (Thymethoxam 12.60% + Lambda-Cyhalothrin 9.50% ZC) @ 50 ml + Silicomaxx @ 50 ml @ 150 to 200 liters of water per acre.

Nutrient deficiency in soybeans

Soyabean is the main crop grown in Kharif season. Nutrients play an important role in the growth and development of soybean crops. Due to the lack of nutrients, the plants do not develop fully, as a result, the growth stops and the flowering and pods are also less. Due to which there may be a decline in production. Also, due to the deficiency of these nutrients, physical disorders can occur in plants, such as iron deficiency causes cyanosis in plants.

For its fulfillment, a balanced amount of micro and major nutrients should be sprayed from time to time in the crops. For vegetative growth at this stage, water soluble Urvark Dayal (Anmol) 19:19:19 @ 1 kg + Mixol (Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Boron, Molybdenum) @ 250 g + Vigarmax Gel Gold (botanical extract, Seaweed) @ 400 gm, spray on the basis of 150 to 200 liters of water.

Crops will be damaged due to waterlogging, Know how to drain water from the fields

  • Waterlogging refers to a condition when water is present in excess amount than its optimum requirement. Excess water in the field causes the following losses:-

  • Obstruction of air circulation, fall in soil temperature, accumulation of harmful salts, reduced germination and sometimes seed rot, root rot, reduced activity of beneficial bacteria, reduced nitrogen fixation activity as well as harmful diseases and pests attack etc. Drainage is necessary to reduce waterlogging in the field.

  • Drainage: To increase the yield of the crop, artificially removing excess water from the surface or subsurface of the land is called drainage. Sometimes the problem of drainage arises due to excessive rain or canals.

  • Benefits of Drainage: Proper ventilation, improvement in soil temperature, increased activity of beneficial bacteria, prevention of soil erosion, prevention of harmful pests and diseases, increase the action of nitrogen in plants etc.

Measures to control leaf miner pest in cucurbits crop

Pest Identification:

  • The tiny maggot insects are very small, legless, and yellow in colour and adult insects are light yellow in colour.

Symptoms of Damage:

  • Symptoms of its damage first appear on the leaves. The female moth lays eggs in the cells inside the leaves, from which the larvae hatch and make tunnels by feeding on the green matter inside the leaves. Due to this white spiral stripes appear on the leaves.

  • The affected plant bears less fruit and leaves fall prematurely. Plant growth stops and plants remain small.

  • Due to the attack of this insect, the photosynthesis of plants is also affected.

Control: 

  • To control this pest, spray Abacin (Abamectin 1.9% EC) @ 150 ml or Benavia (Cyantraniliprol 10.26% OD) @ 250 ml + Silico Maxx  @ 50 ml per acre @ 150 to 200 liters of water.

  • As a biological treatment, spray Bave Curb (Beauveria bassiana 5% W.P.) @ 500 gm/acre.

Method of preparing pandal / scaffolding in vine crop and its benefits

Method of preparing the pandal

With the help of some support spread the creeper or vine vegetables on the prepared structure above the ground, which is called pandal, mandap, trellis or machan. In this, the plants are spread on wooden, iron or cement poles on a structure made of wire or plastic mesh. It can be prepared in many ways like khadi pandal, chhatnuta pandal, tikoni pandal etc.

It is very important to give support to vine vegetables. Plants are offered on the pandal by tying a wire at the upper end of the pillars. For support, vertical pillars are erected upright and prepare pits of 2-2.5 feet deep. Keep the distance of the pit from the pit about 6 feet, due to more distance, the pandal starts swinging due to the weight of the crop. Keep the poles upright and bury them well in the soil. If using cement poles, there is no problem, but when using wooden poles, they get spoiled by termites. Therefore, to protect them, put a plastic pipe or polythene on the buried part of the soil. After this, the upper ends of all the pillars are tied with iron wire connecting one pillar to another and then the upper part is covered with a plastic rope or net, so that the vine does not swing down. The height of the pandal can be kept 1.5-2.0 meters. But the height varies according to the crop, generally 4.50 feet for bitter gourd and cucumber, but 5.50 feet for bottle gourd etc.

Advantages of  a pandal

  • Spreading the plants over the prepared structure provides enough space to spread, resulting in increased yields due to photosynthesis.

  • The fruits remain long, soft and uniform in shape due to not coming in contact with the soil, the market value of the fruit is higher.

  • In the pandal method, plants are less affected by pests and diseases due to being away from the land and it is also easy to control.

  • Due to the offering of creeper vegetables on the pandal, one can get double benefit by growing partial shade crops like coriander, spinach, turmeric, arbi, radish etc.

  • With this method, with the ease of contemporary work, harvesting of fruits can also be done easily.

Measures for the problem of fall armyworm pest in maize crop

This pest attacks at 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. Apart from this, they also eat soft leaves by entering inside of the plant. 

control measures

To control, spray Emanova (Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG) @ 100 gm or Barazide (Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC) @ 600 ml + Silico Maxx @ 50 ml, @ 150 to 200 liters of water per acre.

Nutrient management in the period of 15 to 20 days after sowing in the maize crop

Maize is the main crop of Kharif season, but where there are irrigation facilities, Maize can be cultivated as an early crop of Rabi and Kharif. Maize is an excellent source of carbohydrates. It is a multi-use crop, it is a major component of human as well as animal feed and Maize cultivation also has an important place in the industrial sector.

Maize crop should be weed free in the early stage otherwise production is reduced. After 15-20 days of sowing, weeding should be done by running hoe in the crop or by using chemical herbicide to destroy the weeds first, then use nutrients. Due to which only the main crop will receive the nutrients directly and there will be no loss of nutrients. And the crop will also be healthy.

At this stage of plants, add Urea @ 35 kg + Multiplex /Gromor (Magnesium Sulphate) @ 5 kg + Dayal (Zinc Sulphate @ 5 kg), per acre and mix the fertilizers in the soil.

Management of pink bollworm in cotton crop

A pink bollworm  does a lot of damage to your cotton balls and in the early stages it is found on the cotton flower. Along with eating the cotton pollen from the flower, as soon as the cotton ball is ready, it goes inside it and starts eating the cotton seeds inside the dendu. Due to this, the balls of cotton are not prepared well and the cotton gets stained.

Use pheromone traps to identify this pest, indicating which pests are infested in crops and in quantity.

What is Pheromone Trap:- In pheromone trap, artificial rubber lure (septa) is applied to attract male adult insects of different species. It contains chemicals to attract males of the same species. The attracted male insects die after getting trapped in a plastic bag attached to the trap. The use of pheromone traps is the only method of non-chemical elimination of caterpillars.

For the prevention of pink ball worms, you have to do at least 3 spraying of chemical products. Let us know when and in how much quantity you have to do this spray. In 40 to 45 days after the sowing of cotton, the cotton crop reaches the full stage. As soon as 20 to 30% flowering starts in your cotton, during that time you should –

control measures

  • Do first spray of Danitol (Fenpropathrin 10% EC) @ 400 ml + Bave Curb (Bavaria bassiana 5% WP) @ 250 gm  + NutriFul Maxx (Fulvic + Amino + Trace Elements) @ 250 ml + Silico Maxx @ 50 ml/acre..

  • After this, the second spray is to be done after 13 to 15 days of the first spray. For this , spray Profenova Super (Profenophos 40% EC + Cypermethrin 4% EC) @ 400 ml + Bave Curb (Bavaria bassiana 5% WP) @ 250 g + Silico Maxx @ 50 ml/acre.

  • You have to do the third spray 15 days after the second spray. By spraying Barazide (Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin 0.9% SC) @ 600 ml + Bave Curb (Bavaria bassiana 5% w.p) @ 250 gm + Silico Maxx @ 50 ml / acre.By spraying, farmers can save their cotton crop from pink bollworm infestation.

Precaution for PBW

  • Deep ploughing should be done during summer to protect the cotton crop from pink bollworms.

  • Old crop residues and weeds should be destroyed.

  • For the biological control of this insect, the amount of Bave Curb (Beauveria bassiana 5 % wp) @ 250-500 gm/acre should be sprayed on during Amavasya day.
