Fertilizer management in 40-60 days in flood irrigated chilli crop

17/07/2021 Saturday July 17th, 2021

Chilli crop remains in the second-growth stage after transplanting in 40-60 days. At this time the flowering stage is in the chilli crop. Fertilizer management is necessary for chilli crops for good flowering. Along with plant growth, it is useful to use major and micronutrients in the crop for good flower and fruit development.
All these nutrients fulfil all the elements in the chilli crop, as well as develop immunity to fight diseases in the chilli crop at the time of fruit development. The following products should be used in nutrient management.
Use urea at the rate of 45 kg/acre + DAP 50 kg/acre + magnesium sulphate 10 kg/acre + micronutrients at the rate of 10 kg/acre + calcium nitrate @ 5 kg/acre.
Urea: Urea is the biggest source of nitrogen supply in chilli crops. With its use, there is no problem with yellowing and drying in the leaves. Urea accelerates the process of photosynthesis.
DAP (Di Ammonium Phosphate): Diammonium phosphate is used for the supply of phosphorus. Its use improves root growth and helps in plant growth.
Magnesium Sulphate: The use of Magnesium Sulphate in Chilli crops increases greenery and accelerates the process of photosynthesis, ultimately resulting in a higher yield and quality of the crop.
Micronutrients: Facilitates the process of photosynthesis in chilli plants. Helps to increase crop production and improve soil health.
Calcium Nitrate: Helps in increasing the production of crops. Helps neutralize toxic chemicals within plants.
Use all the nutrients by mixing them in the soil. Light irrigation must be done after use.

How to control leaf eating caterpillar in Cabbage crop

The caterpillars of this insect cause damage by eating the green matter of the leaves and only white membrane remains at the eaten site, which later turns into holes.
Diamondback moth eggs are white-yellow in colour.
The caterpillars of this insect are 7-12 mm long, and have fine hairs all over the body. Adults are 8–10 mm long, beige or light brown in colour, and have bright diamond-like spots on the adult’s back.
The adult female lays eggs on the leaves individually or in groups. Small green caterpillars, after hatching, feed on the outer layer of the leaves and pierce them.
In case of a severe attack, the caterpillars eat the leaves, leaving a web-like shape.
For its control, spray Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG @ 100 g/acre or Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 60 ml/acre or Novaluron 5.25% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.9% SC @ 600 ml/acre.

What is the reason for the problem of leaf curling in chilly crops and its solution?

14/07/2021 Wednesday July 14th, 2021

Most of the damage in the chilli crop is due to the twisting of leaves, which is known as Kukda or Churda-Murda disease in different places. Due to which the leaves of chilli are twisted, this problem is due to the outbreak of thrips in the chilli crop, due to which the leaves of chillies turn upwards and become boat-shaped. Leaves shrink. The plant looks like a bush. Affected plants do not produce fruit. On seeing the symptoms, uproot the affected plant from the field. Keep the field free from weeds.
To prevent this problem, prevent thrips infestation in chilli field and if thrips infestation is seen then for its management, spray Fipronil 5% SC @ 400 ml/acre, Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC @ 80 ml/acre, Lambda Cyhalothrin 4.9% CS @ 200 ml/acre, Spinosad 45% SC @ 75 ml/acre, CYANTRANILIPROLE 10.26 % OD @ 240 ml/acre.
Do not allow pest infestation in the crop because the disease of leaf curl is due to the infestation of insects.

Know what kind of damage weed causes to crops

The production of any crop is greatly affected by the outbreak of weeds, pests and diseases, in which maximum 35 to 70 percent loss is due to weeds only. Weeds compete with the crop for natural resources such as light, space, water, air as well as nutrients, causing a huge reduction in yield.
Due to the high infestation of weeds, the outbreak of diseases in the crop is also very high. There are three types of weeds in the crop.
Narrowleaf / monocotyledon weed: The leaves of the weeds of the grass family are thin and long and parallel stripes are found on these leaves. It is a monocotyledonous plant such as Sanwa (Echinochloa colona) and Kodon (Eleusine indica) etc.
Broadleaf / Dicotyledonous weeds: The leaves of this type of weeds are often broad, it is mainly dicotyledonous plants such as choti and badi doodhi, phulkia, diwalia, bokhana, jangali choulai (Amaranthus viridis), safed murgh ( celosia argentea), jangali jute (Corchorus acutangulus)
Annual weed: The leaves of this family of weeds are long and the stem is solid with three edges. Tubers are found in the roots, which help in collecting food and giving birth to new plants such as doob, motha (Cyperus rotundus, Cyperus species) etc.
The crop yield is greatly affected due to the weeds, the nutrients given to the crop are also absorbed by the weeds. Infestations of the weeds cause more damage to the crop. Generally, weeds use up to 47% of phosphorus, 50% of potash, 39% of calcium and 34% of magnesium available to crops. Due to which the yield of the crop decreases. Due to these weeds, the outbreak of fungal diseases and pests on the crop is also very high.

Which products should be used for the first spray in the cabbage nursery?

How to control leaf eating caterpillar in soybean crop

06/07/2021 Tuesday July 6th, 2021

The larvae of this insect attack the leaf and cause damage by feeding on the soft tissues (parts) of the leaf. After eating one of the leaves by this caterpillar, this caterpillar attacks the new leaves as well, resulting in 40-50% damage to the soybean crop. When urea is given separately to the soybean crop, the chances of caterpillar attack in the soybean crop are high.
To protect the soybean crop from these caterpillars, prevention can be done in three ways, mechanically, chemically and biologically.
Mechanical control: – Before sowing of soybean, do deep plowing of the field in summer so that the pupa of this caterpillar gets destroyed in the soil itself. Do not sow before monsoon because it gives favourable temperature to increase the number of this caterpillar, do not sow the crop too densely, if any infected plant is visible, then uproot it and destroy it, For better control of caterpillars, install pheromone trap at the rate of 10 nos. per acre in the field, the lure of this trap should be changed at every 3 weeks interval.
Chemical Control: Spraying of Profenofos 40% + Cypermethrin 4% EC @ 400 ml/acre or Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG @ 100 gram/acre or Flubendiamide 20% WG @ 100 gram/acre or Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 60 ml/acre do
Biological control:- Spray Bavaria bassiana @ 500 gram/acre.
