Symptoms and control measures of dumping in chilli crops?

08/07/2022 Thursday July 7th, 2022

Symptoms of damage

The outbreak of this disease occurs in the nursery stage of the plant and after transplanting. The cause of this disease is Pythium aphanidermatum, Rhizoctonia solani fungus, in which the plant in the nursery wilts near the ground surface.

Prevention / Control Measures

Prepare the nursery of chilli with a raised bed system which has a proper drainage system.
Before sowing, treat the seed with Combat (Trichoderma viride) @ 1 gram + Monas curb Pseudomonas fluorescens) @ 1 gram per 100 grams seed.
If a problem is observed in a nursery, spray or drench with Roko (Thiophanate Methyl 70%W/W) @ 2gm + Maxxroot (Humic Fulvic Acid) @ 1gm per litre of water.

Why are micronutrients important in vegetable crops?

07/07/2022 Wednesday July 6th, 2022

Due to the continuous use of main nutrients in the soil, the deficiency of micronutrients is increasing day by day. Farmers use most of the main nutrients in the crops and almost negligible use of micronutrients like copper, zinc, iron, molybdenum, boron, manganese etc. because of this, over the years, the symptoms of micronutrient deficiency in the soil are visible on the plants. When there is a deficiency of micronutrients in the plants, its symptoms are visible directly in the plants. The deficiency of these nutrients in the crop can be done by replenishing these elements.

Molybdenum function – After the absorption of nitrate in plants, molybdenum works to break down nitrate, due to which nitrate goes to different parts of the plant, due to which there is no lack of nitrogen in the plant, and the growth of the plant is good. Molybdenum helps in fixation of atmospheric nitrogen by root nodule bacteria. Its deficiency causes whiptail disease in cauliflower.
Iron – Iron helps in the formation of chlorophyll. Essential for respiration and photosynthesis in plants, its deficiency causes chlorosis in plants.
Zinc – Zinc stimulates enzyme activity in plants, helps in making hormones, increases immunity, and helps in the utilization of nitrogen and phosphorus.
Copper – Copper acts as an electron transfer agent in the enzyme. These enzymes are involved in the oxidation and reduction process in plants. Plants grow and reproduce by this process.
Boron – Pollination in flowers, formation of pollen tubes, making fruits and grains, metabolizing plant hormones and transporting them to all parts of the plant is the function of the boron element.
Manganese – Manganese Helps in the formation of chlorophyll. It acts as a catalyst in various activities. Due to the deficiency of manganese in plants, small brown spots are formed on the leaves. If deficiency symptoms are observed, spray micro-nutrients, Mixol (Iron, Manganese, Zinc, Copper, Boron, Molybdenum) @ 250 gm/acre.

Identification and control Measures of sucking pest in chilli crop

05/07/2022 Monday July 4th, 2022

White fly –

Its young and adult insects, suck the sap by the lower surface of the leaves, due to which the leaves turn upwards.
The adult of this insect is light yellow and its wings are white in color. These pests cause the spread of leaf curl disease and YVM virus.

control –

To control it, take a spray of Prudens (PYRIPROXYFEN 10 % + BIFENTHRIN 10% EC) 250 ml + silicomaxx 50 ml per acre.

After 2 days, take a spray of Privintal BV (Organic derive) @ 100 gm per acre.

Thrips-

Thrips cause severe damage in chilli crops.Both adults and nymphs of these pests harm the plant. When this insect sticks on the lower surface of the leaves of chilli and sucks the sap of the leaves.
Due to which curling starts appearing in the leaves of chilli and these leaves turn upwards and become like a boat.
In case of severe infestation, tufts of leaves are formed. Due to which the production decreases. This insect causes viral disease.

Control –

Spray Benevia (Cyantraniliprole 10.26% w/w OD) @ 240 ml + silico maxx 50 ml/acre.

After 2 days take a spray of Privintal BV (Organic derive) @ 100 gm/acre.

Why is a pheromone trap necessary in a cotton crop?

02/07/2022 Friday July 1st, 2022

Cotton is the major cash crop of India. It is also called white gold. In India, the yield of cotton is very low due to many pests and diseases. Cotton also suffers a lot from various types of moths. The infestation of worms is more when the cotton plants are 50 to 65 days old. Pheromone traps are the only way to prevent them, while other treatments exist for other diseases and pests.

By using pheromone traps, the production of cotton per hectare can be increased by controlling the caterpillars.

What is a Pheromone Trap –

In pheromone traps, artificial rubber septa are used to attract male adult insects of different species. It contains chemicals to attract males of the same species. The attracted male kites 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.

Precautions related to pheromone trap –

The lure (septa) used in the trap must be changed after 15 days.
Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap before and after changing the lure.
Inspect all the installed traps every morning and destroy the trapped insect only after inspecting them. And spray the recommended insecticide.
