This disease will cause damage in black gram crop, know control measures

23/08/2021 Monday September 25th, 2023

After heavy rains leaf spot is a major disease of black gram which is caused by a fungus called Cercospora, it is a soil and seed-borne disease.
Its symptoms are small, brown, yellowish water-filled circular spots appearing on infected leaves.
The infection appears mostly on older leaves, causing wilting of leaves and small water-soaked spots on green beans.
The centers of these lesions and spots are irregular, light brown in color and are slightly sunken with a rough surface.

Use of humic acid in organic farming

22/08/2021 Sunday August 22nd, 2021

Humic acid is a mineral produced from the mine commonly known as a soil conditioner. Which increases the fertility of barren land. Improves soil structure and gives it a new lease of life.
Its most important function is to make the soil porous so that the roots can grow more.
This accelerates the action of photosynthesis, which leads to greenness in the plant and the growth of branches.
Develops tertiary roots of plants so that the absorption of nutrients from the soil can be increased.
Increases the fertility of the soil by increasing the metabolic activities of plants.
It increases the yield of the crop by increasing the number of flowers and fruits in the plant.
Increases seed germination capacity and protect plants from adverse environments.

Identify and prevent the symptoms of Blast disease in paddy

20/08/2021 Friday August 20th, 2021

All aboveground parts of the rice plant (leaves, leaf collar, culm, culm nodes, neck, and panicle) are attacked by the fungus.
Initial symptoms are white to grey-green lesions or spots with brown borders
Small specks originate on leaves – subsequently enlarged into spindle-shaped spots with an ashy centre.
Older lesions are elliptical or spindle-shaped and whitish to grey with necrotic borders, several spots coalesce to form big irregular patches.
The nodal infection causes the culm to break at the infected node
Internodal infection also occurs at the base of the plant which causes white panicles similar to that induced by yellow stem borer or water deficit
Lesions on the neck are greyish brown and cause the girdling of the neck and the panicle to fall over
If infection of the neck occurs before the milk stage, no grain is formed, but if infection occurs later, grains of poor quality are formed
Lesions on the branches of the panicles and on the spikelet pedicels are brown to dark brown.
For its management, spray Tebuconazole 50% + Trifloxystrobin 25% WG 150 gm/acre or Tricyclozol 70% WP 120 gm/acre or Isoprothiolane 40% EC 300 ml/acre.

The mosaic virus can cause heavy damage to the soybean crop

19/08/2021 Thursday August 19th, 2021

Mosaic virus can cause heavy damage to soybean crop

The mosaic virus can cause losses of up to 8-35% in soybean crops.
The carriers that spread this virus are sap-sucking insect whiteflies.
Symptoms of mosaic virus vary according to the variety of soybean crops, due to its infestation, the leaves turn yellow and yellow-green spots are formed on the leaves. Due to the incomplete development of the leaves, the leaves become distorted and appear to be turned downwards.
Also, the plant does not develop properly and the pods are not formed properly. Due to which it affects production.
For its control, first of all, it is necessary to control the sucking insect, to control it, the following spraying can be done in a timely manner –
1st spray:- Thiamethoxam 25% WG [ Areva ] @ 100 gm/acre, second spray :- Acetamapride 20% SP [ Dhanpreet] @ 100 g/acre + Kasugamycin 3% SL [ kasu B ] @ 300 ml/acre or Streptomycin Sulphate IP 90% w/w + Tetracycline Hydrochloride IP 3% w/w [Streptocycline] @ 20 gm/acre, third spray:- Bifenthrin 10% EC [Markar] @ 300 ml per acre + Validamycin [Sheathmar] @ 300 ml per acre. Keep in mind that there should be a gap of 5-7 days between all the three sprays. or
For whitefly control, spray Acetamiprid 20% SP [ Dhanpreet] @ 100 gm/acre or Bifenthrin 10% EC [Markar] @ 300 ml/acre or Diafenthiuron 50%WP [Pager] @ 250 gm/acre.

Management of fruit fly in gourd crops

18/08/2021 Wednesday August 18th, 2021

The maggot burrows into the fruits and remains inside and feeds. Infected fruits decay and drop.
They fly mainly prefers tender fruits for egg-laying. Ovipositional punctures are caused by adults. From these holes, fruit juice is seen coming out. Eventually, the affected fruits rot.
Grown fruits infested with Fruit fly should be collected and destroyed
To control these flies, corn plants should be grown between the queues in the gourd field, due to the height of these plants, the fly lays eggs under the leaves.
During summer, deep ploughing should destroy the dormant stage (pupa) of the fly present inside the soil.
For effective control of pests, use light traps, Pheromone traps.
Spray Thiamethoxam 12.6 % + Lamda Cyhalothrin 9.5%zc 80 ml/acre or PROFENOFOS 40 % + CYPERMETHRIN 4% EC @ 400 ml/acre or Fipronil 40 % + Imidacloprid 40 % Wg 40 gm / acre.
