Management of powdery mildew disease in bitter gourd crop
-
This disease affects the leaves, stems and sometimes fruits of bitter gourd as well.
-

-
By zero tillage, about 50 -60 days are saved in the entire crop cycle, at this time farmers can make an additional income by planting crops like green gram in the field.
-
At this time, farmers can avail the following benefits after harvesting wheat, without removing crop residues, sowing green gram by Happy seeder, Punch Planter, Zero tillage seed drill etc.
-
Adoption of zero tillage procedures saves tillage cost, irrigation water and time.
-
Along with this, the cost of energy, fuel and electricity is also reduced.
-
Saves on the use of fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals.
-
Improves the physical, biological composition and chemical condition of the soil.
-
Yield and quality also increase.

Right time of sowing of green gram for high yield
-
Summer green gram can be sown from February to April 10, while in the Kharif season, the month of June-July is suitable for sowing.
-
Due to delay in sowing, high temperature and hot winds adversely affect the flowering and pod stage in the green gram, resulting in low yield.
-
Similarly, along with the maturation of the late sown crop, the early monsoon rains cause many diseases related to leaves.
-
Green gram can be sown by a happy seeder even in the presence of crop residues without ploughing after harvesting wheat.
-
If there is no wheat residue in the field, then sowing can be done with the zero-till drill machine.
