Field preparation for garlic cultivation

03/10/2024 Thursday October 3rd, 2024

For garlic cultivation, loamy soil with proper drainage is good. Its cloves do not develop in heavy soil. Do one ploughing with soil turning plough and after that, FYM @ 5 tonne + Speed Kompost @ 4 kg per acre should be sprinkled evenly in the field and 2-3 ploughing is done with the help of harrow. Remove other unwanted crop residues present in the field, if the soil moisture is less, then first irrigate, then prepare the field and lastly make the field level by the leveler.

Nutrient Management

SSP 50 kg + DAP 30 kg + Urea 20 kg + Potash 40 kg + Rhizocare (Trichoderma viride1.0% WP) @ 500 gm + TB 3 (Nitrogen Fixing, Phosphate solubilizing and Potassium mobilizing biofertilizer consortia) @ 3 kg + Taba G (Zinc solubilizing bacteria) @ 4 kg + Maxxroot (Humic Acid + Potassium + Fulvic Acid) @ 500 g + Tri-Cot Maxx (Organic Carbon 3%, a mixture of Humic, Fulvic, Organic Nutrients) @ Apply 4 kg + Bave Curb (Bavaria bassiana) @ 500 gm per acre and apply it evenly in the field.

Fungus-borne disease control in onion nursery

02/10/2024 Tuesday October 1st, 2024

High soil moisture and moderate temperature along with high humidity, especially in the rainy season led to the development of these diseases.
In onion nursery damping-off, root rot, stem rot, yellowing of leaves, and seedling rot can be observed.
These diseases first attack the collar portion and roots of the plant, rotting it and ultimately causing the seedlings to collapse and die.
To avoid it healthy seeds should be selected before sowing.
Spray of CARBENDAZIM 12% + MANCOZEB 63% WP@ 30 gram /pump or THIOPHANATE METHYL 70% W/W @ 60 gm/Pump or MANCOZEB 64%+ METALAXYL 8% WP @60 gram/pump.

What is natural farming?

01/10/2024 Tuesday October 1st, 2024

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.

How to manage nutrition in 15 days of sowing in Peas?

29/09/2024 Monday September 30th, 2024

Just as nutrition management is important at the time of sowing of Peas in the same way nutrition management should be done within 15 days of sowing.
Nutrition management within 15 days of sowing gives a very good head start to the pea crop.
This nutrition management provides pea crop immunity against fungal-borne disease and nutritional deficiency
For the management of nutrition, use sulfur 90% @ 5 kg/acre + zinc sulfate @5 kg/acre.
There should be sufficient moisture in the field at the time of nutrition management.
