Nutritional management at flowering stage in pea crop

19/12/2021 Monday September 25th, 2023

The flowering stage is the most important stage of the pea crop, Thus it is very important to manage nutrition in this stage.
Due to the changing weather and nutrient deficiency in the crop, there is a problem of flower drop in the pea crop.
Excessive flower drop greatly affects fruit production in the pea crop.
Use Micro-nutrients @ 250 gm/acre.
To prevent flower drop, use Homobrassinolide @ 100 ml/acre or Paclobutrazol 40% SC @ 30 ml/acre.
To increase the number of flowers in the crop, spraying can be done at the rate of 0:52:34 @ 1 kg per acre.

Weeds are the biggest enemy of crops, know why it is important to prevent them?

07/12/2021 Wednesday December 8th, 2021

Weeds are a major problem for every crop.
Control of weeds is essential for increasing the quality and yield of crops.
Many times, farmers troubled by the abundance of weeds use various weedicides to get rid of it.
Weedicides are harmful to the soil of the field as well as to the crops and our health. Also, weedicide can be used in the crop for a certain time i.e. before 2-5 leaves of weeds, after that weeding remains an option for weed control. Various tools can be used for weeding –
Khurpa, shovel, hoe, animal-driven weeding machine (Trifali, Akola, Dora, Bardoli), cono weeder, wheel handle, automatic rotary power weeder, etc.

Temperature Control Measures for Good Production in Rabi Crop

05/12/2021 Monday December 6th, 2021

Measures to control temperature (in case of low) for good crop production-

Irrigation of fields is crucial:: Whenever there is a possibility of low temperature or frost warning has been given from the weather forecast department, light irrigation should be provided to the crop. The temperature will not fall below 0° C and crops can be protected from the loss due to lower temperature as Irrigation increases the temperature by 0.5 – 2° C.
Cover the plant:: The nursery is in the most vulnerable stage in low temperatures. In nurseries, it is advisable to cover the plants with plastic sheets at night. By doing so, the plastic causes the temperature inside to increase by 2-3 degrees celsius. Straw can also be used instead of polyethene whose surface temperature does not reach the deposition point. While covering the plants, keep in mind that the southeastern part of the plants remain open, so that the plants get sunlight in the morning and afternoon.
Windbreakers: These breakers reduce the intensity of cold waves and protect them from crop damage. For this, such crops should be sown around the field, so that the wind is controlled to some extent, e.g. sowing maize in gram fields. To protect the plants from frost, they should be covered except in the direction of sunlight using straw or any other object.
Smoke near the field: To control temperature, you can create smoke in your field, so that the temperature does not fall to the deposition point and crops can be protected from damage.
Spray Pseudomonas 500 grams per acre to prevent frost.

Management of sucking pests in potato crop

04/12/2021 Saturday December 4th, 2021

Due to sucking insects in potato crops, there is heavy damage to the crop, as well as adversely affecting the quality of the crop. In the potato crop, there is an outbreak of the following sucking insects such as aphids, jassids, thrips, whitefly and mites etc. It is necessary to control these pests in time.
Aphids, jassids – Its nymphs and adults harm the plants by sucking the sap of the leaves.
Thrips- These very tiny insects are black or yellow in colour. Adults suck the sap from the leaves by scraping the leaves.
Whitefly- They are small in size and white in colour, which sucks the sap of the leaves. Due to which the growth of plants is hindered. Whitefly acts as a carrier for the virus.
For the management of aphids, jassids, thrips, whitefly spray Thiamethoxam 25% WP @ 100 gm or Acephate 75% SP 300 gm/acre or Acetamiprid 20% SP 100 gm or Diafenthiuron 50% WP @ 250 gm per acre.
Mites- Leaves become reddish-brown in colour and dry up. For its control, spray Propergite 57% EC 400 ml or Ethion 50% EC 600 ml or Sulfur 80% WDG @ 500 gm/acre.
Installing 10 yellow sticky traps per acre in potato fields can also save the crop from the infestation of sucking pests.

Symptoms and control measures of aphid in mustard crop

01/12/2021 Monday September 25th, 2023

Identification: Aphids are small, soft-bodied, pearl-shaped insects.
Favourable conditions: The outbreak usually occurs during the second and third week of December, and continues till March. The humidity of 70 to 80% and a temperature between 8 and 24°C are favourable for the rapid growth of aphids. Rainy and humid weather help accelerate the development of insects.
Symptoms of damage: Both nymphs and adults suck the sap from leaves, buds and pods. Curling may occur in infested leaves and at an advanced stage plants may wither and die. Plants remain stunted and sooty molds grow on the honeydew excreted by the insects.
Control measures: Spray Thiamethoxam 25% WP @ 100 gm or Imidacloprid 30.5% SC 100 ml or Flonicamid 50% WG @ 60 ml/acre. These products can be mixed with silicon base stickers up to 5 ml per tank.
Set up a yellow stick trap 10 per acre.
For biological control, use Bavaria bassiana at the rate of 250 gm/acre of metarhizium, 1 kg/acre.

Gram crop will be damaged due to the wilt disease, protect it soon

25/11/2021 Monday September 25th, 2023

Wilt disease or uktha disease is the main disease in gram. The main cause of wilt disease is a fungus known as Fusarium oxysporum.
It is a common soil-borne disease. This fungus can live in the soil for about six years without any nutrients or control.
The first and foremost symptom of this disease is the yellowing of developing branches and edges of leaves.
The upper parts of the plants turn yellow, the growth of the bud stops, the stems and the upper leaves become more rigid after which the lower leaves turn yellow and then the leaves fall.
Lastly, the entire plant withers and the stem shrinks downward.

Chemical Management:

Thiophanate Methyl 70% W / W @ 300 gram/acre should be used as soil treatment during irrigation at 30 days of sowing.

Biological treatment:

Use Trichoderma viride @ 500 gram/acre as soil treatment at 30 days of sowing during irrigation.

Weed management is necessary in gram crop

23/11/2021 Monday September 25th, 2023

Many types of weeds like Bathua, Khartua, Morva, Pyaji, Motha, Dub etc. grow in the gram crop.
These weeds affect the yield by competing with the crop plants for nutrients, moisture, space and light. Apart from this, weeds also cause many diseases and pests in the crop, which also affect the quality of the seed.
Timely control is very important to prevent the damage caused by weeds. Two hoeing is sufficient in gram crop. First, weeding should be done after 20-25 days of sowing and second after 50-55 days.
If labourers are not available, spray Pendimethalin 38.7% EC 700 ml per acre in the field within 1-3 days after sowing. Then do one hoeing after 20-25 days of sowing. In this way, the damage caused by weeds in the gram crop can be prevented.
