How to use decomposer after harvesting wheat

20/02/2022 Saturday February 19th, 2022

After harvesting wheat, crop residue remains in the field in large quantities.
Due to these residues, there is a possibility of the outbreak of fungal and bacterial diseases in the next crop to be planted.
It is very important to use decomposers in an empty field after harvesting wheat or after sowing the crop, to prevent the infection of fungal and bacterial diseases in the new crops. Before use, mix the wheat residue well in the soil with the help of a rotavator.
For this, if farmers want to use liquid form, then use decomposer @ 1 litre/acre as a spray.
Apart from this, Gramophone special decomposer ‘Speed Compost’, which can be mixed with 4 kg along with 10 kg of urea and 50-100 kg per acre, can be broadcast in the field.
When a decomposer is being used, make sure that there is enough moisture in the field.

Right time of sowing moong and field preparation

17/02/2022 Thursday February 17th, 2022

In the summer season, short-duration crop moong is a better option for the farmers.
The appropriate time for sowing summer moong crops is from the third week of February to the first week of April.
At this time, moong is a better option for farmers to grow during the short duration crop in zaid season.
The appropriate time for sowing summer moong crops is from February to March and June-July is the appropriate time for sowing Kharif moong.
Loamy to sandy loamy soil is considered best for the cultivation of moong.
For this, the ideal pH value of the soil is considered to be 6.5 to 7.5.
For the preparation of the summer moong field, after harvesting rabi crops, ploughing the field should be done after leaving it for 4-5 days. After irrigation, do 2-3 ploughing with an indigenous plough or cultivator and make the field flat and friable by applying a leveler. Due to this, the moisture is conserved in it and the seeds get good germination.

Types of Seed treatments and its methods

16/02/2022 Wednesday February 16th, 2022

Seed treatment is a process in which plants are treated with chemicals, biologicals or heat to keep them free from diseases and pests. Seed treatment with bacterial culture is also done for nutrient fixation.

Methods of seed treatment-

Wet method: Spread the seed on a polythene or floor, sprinkle lightly with water. Put the recommended amount of chemicals or biologicals on the seed pile, mix it well with gloved hands and dry it in the shade.

Dry Method: Keep the seed in a vessel, mix chemicals in the recommended quantity and close the pot and shake it well then keep the mixed seed in the shade.

Slurry seed treatment: To make a slurry, mix the recommended amount of chemical in 10 litres of water in a tub or large vessel. Keep the seeds in this solution for 10 to 15 minutes, then dry the seeds in the shade.

Hot water treatment: Heat the water in a metal vessel to 52 °C. Leave the seed in that vessel for 30 minutes, keep in mind that the above temperature should be maintained throughout the process. Dry the seed in the shade and then sow it.

Know the importance of seed treatment in summer moong

14/02/2022 Sunday February 13th, 2022

After harvesting Rabi crops, farmers can get additional income by sowing moong crops instead of leaving their fields empty in the summer season.
Seed treatment before sowing can easily control seed-borne and soil-borne diseases and increase crop germination.
By treating the seeds, uniform germination is seen in the seeds.
As seed treatment, use Carbendazim 12%+ Mancozeb 63% [ Carmanova] @ 2.5 gm/kg of seed to control soil borne harmful fungi.
For its biological treatment, do seed treatment of Trichoderma viride [Rhizocare] @ 5-10 gm/kg seed or Pseudomonas fluorescens [Monas karb] @ 5-10 gm/kg seed.
Use Thiamethoxam FS formulation [Reno] @ 4 ml/kg of seed to prevent pest infestation.
Finally, sow the seed after seed treatment with special Rhizobium culture [Jaivatika-R] @ 5 gm/kg seed.

Major insect pests in stored crops

13/02/2022 Sunday February 13th, 2022

The most important task after harvesting is grain storage. By storing grain by the scientific method, the grain can be preserved for a long time. Often the pests of food grains belong to Coleoptera and Lepidoptera, which cause more damage in the condition of high moisture and temperature in the stored grains.
Insects that attack in storage grains are as follows: Small grain borer, Khapra beetle, red flour beetle, pulses beetle, grain fly, rice moth etc.
All these pests eat grains and become hollow during storage, which affects the market price of the produce.
To keep the grain safe from these pests, clean the godowns thoroughly before storing them, and By burning neem leaves, make smoke in the place of storage.
Store the grains after drying them properly, and while storing, use chemical grain gold @ 1 ampule per quintal of grains.

Know what is the function of zinc solubilizing bacteria

13/02/2022 Sunday February 13th, 2022

Zinc solubilizing bacteria is the most important bacterial culture.
It provides a soluble form of zinc to the plant from insoluble zinc that is present in the soil. It is one of the most important micronutrients for plant growth.
It can also be used for soil treatment, seed treatment, and spraying.
For soil treatment, use a 4 kg/acre mix with 50-100 kg of cow dung, vermicompost and broadcast it in the field before sowing.
For seed treatment, use 5-10 gram/kg seed.
Use 500-1 kg/acre as a spray after sowing.
