Know why staking is important in tomato crops

23/06/2022 Thursday June 23rd, 2022

At the time of tomato fruiting, the plant falls down due to the excess weight of the tomato plant. Due to which the crop gets destroyed. Due to this the farmer has to bear heavy losses. Along with this, pests and diseases are also more prone to fall under the plant. Therefore, to keep the tomatoes from falling down, tie them with wire and keep them safe.

Method and benefits of staking

For staking, 10 feet high bamboo poles are placed at a distance of 10 feet along the side of the ridge. Iron wire is tied on these poles at a height of 2-2 feet. After that the plants are tied to the wire with the help of twine, due to which these plants grow upwards. The height of these plants reaches up to 5-8 feet, due to which not only the plant becomes strong, but the fruit is also better. In addition, the fruit is also saved from rotting. By this method, more profit can be obtained than conventional farming.

White Grub Control in Soybean crop

22/06/2022 Tuesday June 21st, 2022

Identification: White grubs are white coloured insects that live as grubs in a field their dormancy period is in the winter.

Damaging Symptoms : Usually in the initial form, they feed on the root of the soybean plant. Symptoms of white grubs can be seen on the plant, such as wilting of the plant, plant growth stops and finally the death of the plant is its main symptom.

Management:

For control of this insect , in the months of June and July, use Metarhizium culture [kalichakra] along with FYM (2 kg + 50-75 kg) per acre for control of white grub.
Chemical treatment can also be done. For this, use FENPROPATHRIN 10 % EC [Danitol] @ 500 ml / acre, Clothianidin 50.00% WG @ [Dantotsu] 100 gm / acre as soil mix.

What is natural farming?

20/06/2022 Monday June 20th, 2022

Natural farming is an ancient farming method based on indigenous cows. In which indigenous cow urine and cow dung is used in crop production as an alternative to chemical fertilizers and other products of chemicals, it maintains the natural nature of the land. Chemical pesticides are not used in natural farming. In this type of farming, the elements which are found in nature are used as pesticides in agriculture.

Nutrients are given to the plants in the form of manure through cow dung, cow urine, bacterial manure, crop residue. In natural farming, the crop is protected from harmful microorganisms and pests by the bacteria, friendly insects and organic insecticides available in nature.

(Four principles of natural farming)

No ploughing the fields. That is, neither ploughing in them, nor turning the soil is to be done. The earth does its own plowing naturally through the penetration of plant roots and earthworms and small animals, and micro-organisms.
No chemical fertilizers should be used. In this method only green manure and cow dung manure are used.
Weeding should not be done. Neither by plow nor by the use of herbicides. Weeds play a major role in making the soil fertile and in balancing bio-fraternity . The basic principle is that weeds should be controlled rather than eliminated completely.
Do not depend on chemicals at all. The problems of disease and pest imbalance began to arise in the fields from the time the weak plants started growing due to wrong practices like tillage and use of fertilizers. By not tampering, the balance of nature remains absolutely right.

Know, how to prepare onion nursery in Kharif?

20/06/2022 Monday June 20th, 2022

Let us know that the bed for the onion nursery should be made in such a place where there is proper arrangement for irrigation and drainage. The land should be flat and fertile. There should be no shade trees around. To prepare the seedlings, a bed of 3-7 meters long and 1 meter wide should be made about 15-20 cm high from the ground. 20 beds of above size are sufficient for planting in one acre.

Mix 25 grams of Trichoderma viride (Rhizo Care) and 25 grams (Seaweed, Amino Acids, Humic Acid, Mycorrhiza) (Maxmyco) with 10 kg of cow dung manure, per square meter, in the soil evenly and 1 meter width And prepare high rise beds with drainage facility of 3-7 meters length. Sowing should be done in rows at a depth of 1- 2 cm and at a distance of 5 cm.

After the preparation of the bed, the seed must be treated with fungicide such as Captan or Thyram (2.0-2.5 g per kg seed) so that the plants can be saved from the outbreak of diseases that may occur in the beginning. Sow the seed thus treated in the prepared beds. Immediately after sowing the seed, light irrigation should be done in the beds with a fountain or Hazare and after that irrigation should be continued at an interval of one day. The nursery planted in this way becomes ready for transplanting in about 35-40 days.

Importance of seed treatment in crops

19/06/2022 Saturday June 18th, 2022

Seed treatment prevents seed borne 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, resulting in increased cost. Whereas seed borne and soil borne diseases are prevented by seed treatment. Only seed treatment can increase production by 6 to 10 percent.
Apart from good germination with seed treatment, the growth of plants is also good.

Measures for identification and prevention of downy mildew disease in pumpkin category crops

19/06/2022 Saturday June 18th, 2022

Introduction of the disease – downy mildew is a serious problem of Cucurbit Crops like watermelon, melon, cucumber, pumpkin, Ridge gourd etc. Which is caused by a fungus called Pseudoperonospora cubensis. Once infested, the disease spreads rapidly, adversely affecting fruit quality and production.

Symptoms of the disease – Symptoms of the disease first appear as small yellow spots or water-soaked lesions on older leaves. A white downy mildew coating appears on the lower surface of the leaf. Due to the high humidity in the environment for a long time, the spread of the disease is rapid.

Disease control – Biological control – Spraying of Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 500 gm per acre can be done.

Chemical control – Spray Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC @ 300 ml or Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% @ 500 g/acre.

Weed control measures in soybean crop

18/06/2022 Saturday June 18th, 2022

Pre-emergence (after sowing and before seed germination) Spray weedicide within 3-5 days of sowing with Imazethapyr 2% + Pendimethalin 30% EC (Wilforce – 32) @ 1 ltr/acre at 200 ltr water. And use a flat fan nozzle. There is an effective control of weeds with broad and narrow leaves.
Spraying of Diclosulam: 84%WDG (Mark/Strongarm) @ 12.4 gm/acre at the rate of 200 ltr of water within 3-5 days of sowing. And use a flat fan nozzle.

Advantages of soybean weed control

Eliminating soybean weeds can increase production by about 25 to 70 percent.

Out of the available nutrients in the soil, 30 to 60 kg of nitrogen, 8-10 kg of phosphorus and 40-100 kg of potash per hectare increase.

Apart from this, the growth of crops is faster and the level of production increases.

And the outbreak of germs of insects and diseases is less.

Mulching Method and its Benefits

18/06/2022 Friday June 17th, 2022

To protect the crop planted in the field, a layer of grass or plastic is spread around the plant. There are two types of mulch, organic and plastic mulch.

Plastic mulching method: – When in the field, the land of planted plants is well covered by plastic sheets from all sides, then this method is called plastic mulching. In this way the plants are protected and crop production also increases. Let us tell you that this sheet is available in many types and many colors.
Organic Mulching Method: – In organic mulching, straw, leaves, etc. are used. It is also called natural mulching. It is very affordable. It is often used in zero budget farming as well. Do not burn the stubble but use it in mulching. By the use of mulching, you will get rid of the problem of stubble and the yield will also be higher.

Benefits: Helps in soil moisture conservation and temperature control, reducing soil erosion by wind and water, providing a favorable environment for plant growth, improving productivity, improving soil fertility and health, and preventing the growth of weeds.

Importance of Drip Irrigation

17/06/2022 Thursday June 16th, 2022

With the help of drip irrigation system technology, 60 to 70 percent water is saved in the cotton crop.
This method has shown an increase in the yield of crops to a great extent. Drip irrigation is the most efficient water and nutrient delivery system for growing crops.
It delivers water and nutrients directly to the root zone of the plant, in the right amount, at the right time, so each plant gets exactly what it needs, so it can grow optimally.
Drip irrigation saves water, electricity, labor and cost and reduces the amount of fertilizer required. Along with this, weeds can also be controlled, by using this the level of humidity also remains favorable.
