How to control blight disease in the early stages of cotton crop

16/06/2021 Wednesday June 16th, 2021

After sowing of cotton crops, the outbreak of blight disease starts in the crop in the early stage of germination, due to which the growth of the cotton crop is greatly affected.
This disease is caused by bacteria. The attack of this disease does not start simultaneously in the cotton field, but gradually occurs from place to place and gradually spreads to the whole field. In this disease, the leaves start drying from top to bottom.
The initial symptoms of this disease appear on the leaves 20 to 35 days after the sowing of the cotton. In case of severe infestation, the leaves turn dirty green in color, due to its attack, the crop becomes weak.
The disease is likely to spread rapidly if the humidity exceeds 95 percent. The pathogens of this disease remain in the soil for a long time, due to which this disease also damages the next crop.
For its control, take spray of Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP @ 300 g/acre near the root.
Spray Kasugamycin 3% SL @ 400 ml/acre or Streptomycin Sulphate 90% + Tetracycline Hydrochloride 10% W/W @ 20 gram/acre.
As a biological treatment, give Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 250 gram/acre as soil treatment and also as spray.

How to do transplantation treatment and its importance before transplanting chilli

15/06/2021 Tuesday June 15th, 2021

Chilli seedlings are ready for transplanting after 35 to 40 days of sowing. Suitable time for transplanting is from mid-June to mid-July. Light irrigation should be given before uprooting the plant from the nursery, by doing this the root of the plant is not damaged. and the plant is easily planted. After uprooting the plant from the nursery, it should not be kept in direct sunlight.
It is very important to uproot the chilli plant from the nursery and treat the plant before planting it in the main field. Therefore, for good root development, make a solution at the rate of 5 grams of mycorrhiza per liter in one liter of water. After this, the roots of the chilli plant should be dipped in this solution for 10 minutes. After adopting this process, transplant the chilli seedlings in the field. Light irrigation should be given to the field immediately after transplanting. In the transplanting of chilli seedlings, line to line and plant to plant distance should be kept 90-120 X 45-60 cm.
There are many benefits of using mycorrhiza for chilli seedlings treatment. Mycorrhiza is a symbiotic fungus capable of forming a massive connection between plant roots and the soil around them. By which it expands the working area of the roots, and it increases the availability of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus for the plant.

14/06/2021 Monday June 14th, 2021

Before sowing soybean, select the field, as well as ensure that there is adequate drainage system from that field in case of excessive rainfall.
Soybean can be sown everywhere except rocky land. Sowing by leveling the field will improve the drainage of water and yield is also good. Medium loam soil is suitable for sowing soybean.
Deep plowing of vacant land should be done 10 to 12 inches deep with soil turning plow. Prepare the field well by ploughing once.
After this, to control soil insects present in the soil, do soil treatment with Metarhizium culture. By this treatment, pests like white grubs can be controlled very well, along with decomposing culture to decomposed old crops residues. Because of this, the residues of the old crop are very easily converted into useful manure, its benefit is also available in keeping the crop disease free.
Select such a variety for sowing which is disease and pest resistant. After selecting the seeds, do a germination test of the seeds before sowing, so that whether the soybean seed is healthy or not, it is also known. Also it helps in calculating the quantity of seed for sowing.
Soil treatment and seed treatment must be done before sowing. By doing this, soil and seed borne diseases can be controlled.

For its control, do seed treatment of maize or use treated seeds only. For this use recommended insecticides like Imidacloprid 48% FS @ 5 ml/kg seed or treat with Chlorantraniliprole 19.8 + Thiamethoxam 19.8 FS @ 6 ml/kg seed.
Treat with Beauveria bassiana @ 5 gram/kg seed as an biological seed treatment
Along with this, some more precautions must be taken like sowing maize in the whole field together, don’t do it separately.

In Kharif, mainly cotton, chilli, soybean, tomato, etc. crops are sown.
For good production in these crops, it is very beneficial to do seed treatment before sowing, but it is very important to be careful while doing seed treatment.
Seed treatment should be done in the order of FIR, i.e. first using fungicide followed by insecticide and lastly any organic product (PSB/Rhizobium).
Spread the seeds on an earthen pot or polythene sheet and mix the dry or liquid form of fungicide and insecticide by spreading it well on the seeds. One thing should be kept in mind in this type of treatment that the chemical should stick well on the seeds.
The second method of seed treatment involves treating the seeds by mixing chemicals with seed sticking agents.
Use as much water as needed to coat the seed or chemical

Causes of low and excess pH in soil and damage to crops

12/06/2021 Thursday June 10th, 2021

Reason for the low pH: – Due to excessive rainfall, alkaline elements such as calcium, magnesium etc. from the top surface of the soil are washed away in the water, due to which the pH value of the soil becomes less than 6.5, we call such soil as acidic.
Reason for the high pH: – Soil in which alkali and salts are found in high quantities. Due to which this salt gets deposited on the soil in the form of grayish-white color. This type of soil is completely infertile, due to which the pH value of the soil is more than 7.5, this type of soil is called alkaline. Due to the excessive use of calcium and magnesium fertilizers in the soil, the pH of the soil becomes high, due to which the availability of fertilizers and nutrients in the soil decreases.
Due to the decrease in pH value, the normal growth of the roots of plants stops, due to which the roots remain short, thick and compact, the amount of manganese and iron increases in the soil, due to which the plants become affected by many diseases. Due to this, the solubility of phosphorus and molybdenum decreases in soil, its availability to the plants affected, there is an imbalance in the nutrients which reduces the yield.
