Add Samriddhi kit to watermelon crop and extract tremendous yield

Gramophone special watermelon flood samridhi kit contains Consortia of NPK Bacteria (TB3), Zinc Solubilizing Bacteria (TABA G), Seaweed Extract, Amino Acids, Humic Acid and Mycorrhiza (Maxxmyco), Trichoderma viride (Combat) Which is helpful in better yield of the crop. The functions of the products available in this kit are as follows –

  • TB 3- Three types of bacteria Nitrogen fixation, Phosphorus soluble, Potash mobilizing bacteria are included in this product. It helps in the supply of three major elements nitrogen, potash and phosphorus in the soil and crop.

  • Taba G – The bacteria available in it convert the insoluble zinc present in the soil into soluble and make it available to the plants. Zinc is one of the most important micronutrients for plant growth.

  • Maxxmyco – Seaweed, amino acid, and humic acid available in it increase the number of flowers and fruits. Increases the fertility of the soil by removing the weaknesses of the plant.

  • Mycorrhiza forms a good connection between plant roots and the soil around them, which allows the fungus to increase nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus to the plant and support root development.

  • Combat- It is a biological fungicide that kills soil and seed-borne pathogens thereby preventing serious diseases like root rot, stem rot, wilt disease and accelerating root development.

Management of rust disease in wheat

12/02/2022Posted on
Management of rust disease in wheat

  • This disease is mainly seen in wheat crops. It is caused by a fungus called Puccinia recondita tritici which is also known as brown rust, yellow rust or black rust. 

  • The hallmark of this disease is that in the initial stage, the symptoms appear on the upper surface of the leaves, which later become denser and spread over the entire leaf. 

  • The sick leaves dry up quickly, due to which the process of photosynthesis also decreases and the grain becomes lighter. With increasing temperature, the colour of these spots turns black on the lower surface of the leaves.

  • For chemical control of this disease, spray Hexaconazole 5% SC @ 400 ml or Propiconazole 25% EC @ 200 ml or Tebuconazole 25.9% EC @ 200 ml/acre.

  • For biological control, spray Trichoderma viride @ 500 gm /acre or Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gm/acre.

Biological control of termites

  • Crops like tomato, chilli, brinjal, cauliflower, cabbage, mustard, radish, wheat etc. are the major crops affected by termites. It damages the roots of plants by staying in the soil. 

  • Proper management is necessary to control this pest.

  • Seeds should be sown after seed treatment.

  • Must treat soil with insecticide Metarhizium anisopliae.

  • Raw dung manure should not be used, as raw dung is the staple food of this insect. Therefore, use cow dung after proper composting.

  • For termite control in standing crops, apply neem oil at the rate of 1-1.5 litres per acre with irrigation water, Or mix with 15 – 20 kg of sand and irrigate after broadcasting. 

  • In termite affected areas, apply 200 kg of castor cake per acre at the time of the last ploughing

Control the outbreak of termites in horticultural crops like this

11/02/2022Posted on
Control the outbreak of termites in horticultural crops like this

  • The problem of termites is seen in horticultural crops like pomegranate, mango, guava, Jamun, lemon, orange, papaya, amla etc.

  • Insects tunnel into the ground and feed plant roots. When the outbreak is high, they also eat the stem and form a soil-like structure.

  • In summer, deep ploughing in the soil destroys termites and always use good rotten manure (FYM).

  • Beauveria bassiana [Bave curb] 1 kg should be mixed with 25 kg FYM before sowing. 

  • Fill the termite mound with kerosene so that the termite queen as well as other members will die.

  • Use chlorpyrifos 50 + Cypermethrin 5 % EC [ Lethal super 550 ] @ 250 ml per 10 litres of water in the holes made on the stems by the termites and add the same medicine near the roots of the tree in 50 ml per 10 litres of water.

Irrigation management in watermelon crop

Irrigation management in watermelon crop

  • Watermelon is a more water-consuming crop, but water logging is harmful. Overwatering at the bottom of the plant can lead to root rot and fruit rot.

  • Watermelon is cultivated especially in the Zaid season, so the interval of irrigation is very important in this.

  • Watermelon should be irrigated mainly at an interval of 3-5 days, that is, sufficient moisture should be maintained in the soil.

  • Soil moisture stress during the pre-flowering, flowering, and fruit development stage drastically reduce the yield.

  • Irrigation should be stopped during ripening as it adversely affects fruit quality and promotes fruit cracking.

  • The residue left after extracting oil from oilseeds is called cake. When it is used as manure in the field, it is called cake manure. 

  • There are 2 types of oil cakes –

  • Edible oil cakes- It is edible for animals like cottonseed, mustard, taramira, groundnut, taramira, sesame, coconut etc.

  • Non-edible cakes- it is not edible for animals. They are used as manure in the field, like castor, mahua, neem, karanj etc. It also acts as a pesticide in the crop.

  • Nitrogen is found in higher quantities in oil cakes than cow dung manure and vermicompost, as well as phosphorus and potash are also found in oil cakes.

  • The number of nutrients available in different oil cakes-

Know the method of application of oilcake in crops- 

  • Oil cake manure comes in the category of concentrated organic manure, it can be used in the field both pre and post sowing.

  • Method of application of oil cakes pre-sowing – Apart from Mahua cake, the powder of all cakes should be used in the field 10-15 days before sowing.

  • Mahua cake decomposes late, so it should be used in the field 2 months before sowing. A chemical called saponin is found in it, due to the presence of which it is a good manure for paddy crops.

  • The cakes should be scattered in the field and mixed in the soil after ploughing lightly.

  • Method of application of cakes post sowing – After germination, use powdered oil cake near the plant. 

  • Oilseeds can be used while earthing up in tuber root crops. 

  • Keep in mind that after putting the cakes in the field, it is very important to have enough moisture in the soil for their decomposition.

Precautions to be taken while preparing a nursery

  • The small place where the plants are kept for proper care in the initial stage is called a nursery. 

  • Location selection for nursery- The nursery area should be higher than the surrounding area, land should be fertile and free from disorder, have sufficient sunlight, there should be a permanent system of irrigation, there should be a place free from pollution, there should be adequate arrangements for security, availability of local and cheap labourers. Keep all these things in mind while choosing a place for a nursery.

  • Use fertile soil, sand and vermicompost mixed in 2:1:1 respectively.

  • Sowing beds 3 m long and 1 m wide and 10 – 15 cm high raised are considered ideal.

  • Seed treatment – Before sowing, treat the seeds with Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP (Carmanova) @ 3 gm/kg of seed.

  • Irrigation – In autumn and summer, before germination, irrigation should be done daily in the evening.

  • Weeding and hoeing – Weeds should be removed by hand or with a hoe and do light hoeing from time to time.

  • Plant Protection – For fungal disease and pest management, 20 -25 days after sowing, mix Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP [Sanchar] 60 gm + Fipronil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG [Police] at 5 gm per 15 L of water, and drench well.
