Damage to soil and crop due to excess moisture after heavy rains

08/10/2021 Friday October 8th, 2021

Water is the source of life, but too much of it kills. During heavy rains and floods, people and surrounding flora and fauna are also affected by it.
If there is no proper drainage in the field, excessive moisture after heavy rain in the soil creates a high possibility of fungal diseases and bacterial diseases in the soil. Along with this, due to excess moisture, the outbreak of insects in the soil is very high.
Soil erodes after excessive rain, due to which there is a lack of nutrients in the soil.
If we talk about the crop, then the yellowing of the crops, the curling of the leaves, the premature wilting of the crop, the fall of the fruits in the immature stage, the irregular shape of the spots on the fruits, is due to excess moisture.
The deficiency of nutrients in the crop greatly affects crop production.

Why single super phosphate a boon for agriculture

07/10/2021 Thursday October 7th, 2021

Single Super Phosphate (SSP) will prove to be a boon for agriculture to get more yield at a lower cost. Farmers can now use SSP instead of DAP fertilizer.
Single Super Phosphate is a phosphorus fertilizer containing 16% phosphorus, 11% sulfur and 21% calcium. The granular SSP also contains zinc and boron as trace elements. Due to the sulfur available in it, this fertilizer is more beneficial for oilseeds and pulses than other fertilizers.
Sulfur is available in SSP which increases the oil content in oilseed crops like mustard crops and protein content in pulse crops like gram, mung, urad etc. Due to this, farmers should use as much as possible Single superphosphate. In Rabi season, by using an SSP in mustard and gram, you can get more yield at less cost.
Why should the farmer buy SSP – SSP fertilizer is cheaper than DAP and is easily available in the market. 23 kg of Phosphorus and 9 kg of Nitrogen is found in DAP per bag. If 3 bags of SSP and 1 bag of urea are used as an alternative to DAP, then more Nitrogen and Phosphorus can be obtained at an even lower cost. Apart from this, the crop also does not have to add sulfur and calcium separately, which reduces the cost of cropping.

What is Jalebi disease in onion and garlic crop

03/10/2021 Sunday October 3rd, 2021

It is a common disease in garlic crops caused by Thrips insect, this disease heavily harms garlic in its major stages.
This insect begins by scratching the garlic leaves with its mouth, and after scratching the delicate part of the leaves, it begins to sucks its cell sap . Thus it damages the plant by scratching and lapping.
Due to which the leaves start curling and gradually the effect of this problem increases more i.e. the leaves start taking the shape of jalebi. In this way the plant starts drying up gradually, hence the problem being known as Jalebi disease.
Use of the following products is necessary for the prevention of this disease.
Profenophos 50% EC @ 500 ml / acre or Acephate 75% SP @ 300 gm/acre or Lambda cyhalothrin 4.9% CS @ 250 ml/acre or Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda cyhalothrin Spraying @ 9.5% ZC @ 80 ml/acre or Fipronil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG @ 40 gm/acre or Fipronil 5% SC @ 400 ml/acre or Acephate 50% + Imidacloprid 1.8% SP @ 400 gm/acre.
Use Bavaria Bassiana @ 250 gm/acre as a biological treatment.

Management of Bacterial Blight Disease in Ginger Crop

29/09/2021 Wednesday September 29th, 2021

In ginger, this disease is often seen during the rainy season, in which water soaked spots appear in the collar region of the pseudostem, which expands upwards and downwards.
The first characteristic symptom of this disease is a slight curling of the leaf margins of the lower leaves, which spreads upwards.
Yellowing first starts from the lowest leaves and gradually progresses to the upper leaves. At a later stage, the plant shows signs of severe yellowing and wilting.
The vascular tissues of the affected pseudostems show dark streaks. The affected pseudostem and rhizome when pressed gently extrudes milky ooze from the vascular strands.
For its management use Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 46% WP @ 300 gm/acre or Streptomycin Sulphate IP 90% W/W + Tetracycline Hydrochloride IP 10% W/W @ 24 gm /acre.
For biological control use Pseudomonas fluorescens 1 kg/acre.
