In this way, you can protect the harvested crops

21/04/2022 Thursday April 21st, 2022

At present, the work of threshing, harvesting of gram, mustard, wheat etc. is going on in the fields. After the completion of this work, it is very important to protect the produce. For this, the following things can be kept in mind –
Do not stack the harvested crops under the power lines, near the transformer, or on the roadside. To prevent accidents and arson.
Also, keep in mind that while doing the threshing of the crop, there should be no inconvenience to yourself, the workers and the general public, so do not do threshing at the roadside place. Due to this fine husk does not accumulate on the roads and vehicle accidents do not happen.
Persons working on Thresher should not wear loose clothing, wear a cloth around the neck and do not smoke at all. For safety and vigilance, keep a water tank and sand nearby, so that no incident can happen.
Till the farmers do not store the crop in a protective way, do not be careless and do the processing after harvesting the Rabi crops in a protective way..
Make sure to keep the contact numbers of the nearest Electricity Department and Disaster Management Office and their officers.
Before sowing the crop, you must ensure your crop is under the Prime Minister’s Fasal Bima Yojana, so that the loss due to natural calamity can be compensated.

Management of diseases in cucurbitaceae crops

10/04/2022 Sunday April 10th, 2022

Downy Mildew: – This disease appears in the form of yellow spots on the lower surface of the leaves, after some time these spots become angular and turn into a brown powder.

Chemical Management:- Spray Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC [Custodia] @ 300 ml or Fosetyl 80% WP [Alliate] @ 500 gm/ acre.

Powdery Mildew:- This disease usually affects the leaves. White powder appears on the upper and lower surface of the leaves.

Chemical Management:- Spray Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC [Custodia] @ 300 ml or Myclobutanil 10% WP [Index] @ 100 gm/ acre.

Gummy Stem Blight:- Symptoms of this disease first appear in the form of dark brown spots on the leaves and then on the stem. One of the main symptoms of this disease is that a sticky substance like gum comes out from the stem affected by this disease.

Chemical Management:- Spray Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP [Conika] @ 300 gm or Chlorothalonil 75% WP [Jatayu] @ 300 gm per acre.

Anthracnose:- Symptoms of this disease appear on the plant’s leaves, vines, and fruits. Small, circular spots appear on the fruit, due to which the fruit starts falling without ripening, causing a heavy loss in yield.

Agriculture work required to be done in April

09/04/2022 Saturday April 9th, 2022

Plough the field deeply, leave the field open, so that the pupae, insects, their eggs and weeds present in the soil, pathogens that spread fungal diseases are destroyed.
This month, do a soil test after harvesting. Soil testing measures soil pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon as well as major and micronutrient deficiencies, which can be improved over time.
After harvesting wheat, green manure like dhaincha, cowpea, green gram etc. can be sown to improve the health of the soil.
Green gram – If there is a lack of moisture in the soil, then do light irrigation. Before irrigation, weeding should be done, so that the moisture in the soil can remain for a long time. If there is a problem with thrips, aphids and jassids, spray Thiamethoxam 25% WG [ThiaNova 25] @ 100 gm/acre.
Spray Homobrassinolide [Double] @ 100 ml/acre for growth and more numbers of flowers in Cucurbitaceae crops.
For cotton cultivation, deep ploughing and harrowing should be done 3-4 times, so that the water holding capacity increases with the friable soil. By doing this, harmful insects present in the soil, their eggs, pupae and spores of fungi will also be destroyed.
To prevent foot and mouth disease in animals, get vaccinated and make arrangements for digestive and nutritious fodder according to the changing season.

Avoid damage to green gram crop by adopting protected farming

08/04/2022 Friday April 8th, 2022

Protected farming is a new method of farming from traditional agriculture. In which the fields are sown with minimum tillage or without tillage. In this method, previous-crop residues are used and diversification of crops is adopted.
By adopting protected farming, damages caused by burning crop residues before sowing in green gram crops, such as affecting the physical, chemical composition of the soil, reducing soil fertility and water holding capacity, etc. can be avoided.
By cultivating green gram through protected cultivation, the crop can be saved from damage caused by high temperatures. Crop residue helps in reducing soil temperature.
Irrigation water is also saved by cultivating green grams by protected cultivation.

Importance of Molybdenum in leguminous crops

07/04/2022 Thursday April 7th, 2022

Molybdenum is one of the eight essential micronutrients needed by plants. Plants absorb molybdenum in the form of molybdheth. Molybdenum is mainly located in the phloem and vascular parenchyma and is the mobile element in plants. Molybdenum is needed for the chemical transformation of nitrogen in plants.

Molybdenum is one of the eight essential micronutrients needed by plants. Plants absorb molybdenum in the form of molybdheth. Molybdenum is mainly located in the phloem and vascular parenchyma and is the mobile element in plants. Molybdenum is needed for the chemical transformation of nitrogen in plants.
Molybdenum element is helpful in the activity of nitrogen-fixation bacteria in the roots of leguminous crops. Due to its deficiency, all the activities of amino acid and protein formation in the plant decrease. Due to this, the disease resistance ability of plants starts decreasing. It is also helpful in the synthesis of vitamin C and sugar in plants.
Symptoms of deficiency – Young leaves dry up, turn pale green in colour, dry spots appear all over the leaves except the middle veins. Due to the lack of proper use of nitrogen, the old leaves begin to thin.
In plants that are deficient in molybdenum, nitrate accumulates in the leaves and does not allow adequate protein production. As a result, the growth of plants gets stunted due to a lack of nitrogen in the plants.
