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.

Benefits of soil treatment in potato crop

28/09/2021 Tuesday September 28th, 2021

Soil treatment is very important before sowing of the potato crop.
Soil fertility and nutrient management are very important factors for good crop yield and disease free crops which have a direct impact on crop yield and quality.
During the Rabi season, there is a lot of outbreak of fungal diseases and pests as there is excessive moisture in the soil before sowing of the potatoes.
Soil treatment is done with fungicides and insecticides to prevent fungal diseases and pests.
Potato crops do not get infected with diseases like tuber rot due to soil treatment with fungicides and insecticides.
Potato wilt disease is also prevented by soil treatment.
Soil treatment is also very important to overcome the deficiency of nutrients in the soil as its main nutrients are utilized in the last crop.
By soil treatment, soil structure improves and production also increases.

How to control mealybug in soybean crop

19/09/2021 Sunday September 19th, 2021

Mealybug is a type of sucking insect that attacks leaves or twigs and sucks its sap.
This insect is like white cotton, the adults of this insect affect the growth or development of the crop or plant by sucking the essential nutrients from a large number of plants.
Mealybugs form a waxy layer on the stems, branches and under the leaves of soybeans by forming a large number of clusters.
It releases a large amount of honeydew on which black sooty mold accumulates.
Affected plants appear weak due to which the fruiting capacity is reduced.
For the control of this pest use Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC @ 80 ml/acre or Fipronil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG @ 40 gm/acre.
Use Bavaria bassiana @ 250 gm /acre as a biological treatment.
Neem oil 10000 ppm can be sprayed @ 200 ml per acre.

Seed Germination Test Method and Its Benefits

17/09/2021 Monday September 20th, 2021

Before sowing Rabi crops such as wheat, gram, mustard and pulses their seeds can be tested.
Farmers can test their seed germination before sowing and increase the production of their crop by sowing good variety seeds
To do this farmers can either use the paper method or cotton cloth method.
For the paper method, fold the newspaper four times in equal size and place the seeds in the middle. Tie the two corners of folded paper with thread.
After this, pour a tiny amount of water on the seeds and make the seeds wet. Seeing the germination status in two to five days, calculate the percentage of germinated seeds
In the cotton cloth method, count 100 seeds and spread them on cloth and add some water and observe the germination status in two to five days and calculate the percentage of germinated seeds.
By testing the seeds, we get to know the ability of the seed to grow, what percentage of our seed will grow so that we can increase or decrease the seed rate.
Insect disease is detected in the seed by examining the seed.
Farmers’ income increases, cost decreases.
We get healthy seeds from seed testing, which increases the yield.

Management of chilli wilt disease

16/09/2021 Thursday September 16th, 2021

In this disease, the plant starts drying up and withering, the leaves start curling upwards and inwards, in the end, the leaves turn yellow and die. In this disease, the stem and root also dry up and wither, the whole plant looks weak and scorched. Usually, the symptoms of this disease appear mainly in the same area in the field and later gradually infect the plants of the whole field.
Use wilt resistant varieties for its management.
Before sowing, do seed treatment with Trichoderma viride 4 gm or Carbendazim 2 gm/kg seed.
Mix 2 kg Trichoderma viride with 50 kg FYM with basal dosage.
Spray of Pseudomonas spp @ 500 gm/acre.
Thiophantate methyl 70%W/W @ 300 gm + Kasugamycin 3% SL 400 ml or Kasugamycin 5% + Copper oxychloride 45% WP @ 300 gm/acre for drenching.

Seaweed Utility for Crops

15/09/2021 Thursday September 16th, 2021

Seaweed helps in increasing seed germination and high germination rate.
It has a special effect on the root development of the crop.
