Some special benefits of growing summer green gram

31/03/2022 Thursday March 31st, 2022

Summer green gram crop controls weeds and prevents wind erosion in summer
The outbreak of pests and diseases on the crop is very less.
Crop takes less time to mature.
Green gram crop can be grown easily in less time and less cost.
Green gram crop is helpful in nitrogen fixation, It fixes about 10 – 15 kg per acre of nitrogen which can be adjusted while applying fertilizers for the next Kharif season crop.
The area under pulses and production can be increased, without leaving out the cereal crop grown during the Kharif season.
After high fertilizer demand crops like potato, wheat, winter maize, sugarcane etc., it is beneficial to plant this low fertilizer demand crop.

Management of diseases affecting watermelon crop

30/03/2022 Saturday April 9th, 2022

The market demand for watermelon is high during summer. To get good fruit production from the watermelon crop, it is important to take care of plant protection from the sowing to harvest. The symptoms and management of some major diseases that damage the watermelon crop are as follows –
In Downy mildew disease, yellow spots on the upper surface of the leaves and brown powder is deposited on the lower surface. In powdery mildew disease, a white powdery appearance appears on the upper and lower surface of the leaves. For management of both these diseases, spray Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC [Custodia] @ 300 ml per acre.
Gummy stem blight disease, also known as gummosis blight, one of the main symptoms of this disease is that a sticky substance like gum comes out from the affected stem. For its management, Spray Chlorothalonil 75% WP [Jatayu] @ 300 gm/ acre.
In anthracnose disease, fruits start falling without ripening, causing a heavy loss in yield. For its management, spray Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP [Conika] @ 300 gm/acre.

Advantages of zero tillage in summer green gram crop

30/03/2022 Wednesday March 30th, 2022

Zero tillage or no-till farming is a method of farming in which crops are grown repeatedly for many years without ploughing the land.
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

29/03/2022 Tuesday March 29th, 2022

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.
Zero tillage saves time, money and energy.

Pest management in watermelon crop

28/03/2022 Monday March 28th, 2022

Due to changes in weather, the possibility of pest infestation in the watermelon crop increases. At this time the watermelon crop is in the vegetative stage and somewhere in the fruiting stage. At these times, outbreaks of the following insects are mainly seen –
In the vegetative growth stage, the incidence of leaf miners, sucking insects like aphids, jassids, and thrips is more.
For their control, Spray Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC [Novalaxam] @ 80 ml or Imidacloprid 40% + Fipronil 40% WG [Police] @ 40 gm or Abamectin 1.9% EC [Abacin] @ 150 ml/acre.
Apart from these insects, the attack of fruit flies and red pumpkin beetles is also seen on the crop.
For fruit fly control, spraying of Profenofos 40% + Cypermethrin 4% EC [Profenova super] @ 400 ml or Spinosad 45% SC [Tracer] @ 75 ml/acre can be done.
The use of pheromone trap 10 per acre is also beneficial for fruit fly control.
For control of Red Pumpkin Beetle, Spray Lambda Cyhalothrin 4.9% CS [LamNova] @ 250 ml or Bifenthrin 10% EC [Marker] @ 400 ml/acre.

The reason for incomplete growth of fruits and flowers in bitter gourd crop

27/03/2022 Monday September 25th, 2023

Bitter gourd crops are planted in most of the fields.
Fruits have started growing at some places, but they are not fully developed, and they are small in size.
This problem is due to the poor activity of honey bees because of weather changes.
As you all know, honey bees naturally support pollination in cucurbit crops.
If there is a decrease in the activity of honey bees, then the growth of fruits is improper or fruit is not produced.
The second reason can also be due to boron deficiency in plants. For this, boron can be given in drip at the rate of 1 kg per acre.
