Benefits of cultivating by making machan in cucurbitaceous crops

20/06/2021 Sunday June 20th, 2021

What is Machan Method: In this method, the vine of cucurbitaceous crops is kept above the ground by making a wire net. With this, vine vegetables can be grown easily. Along with this, the crop can be saved from many types of diseases. This results in higher production of the crop.
Cucumber, sponge gourd, bitter gourd, bottle Gourd and many other vegetables are cultivated in the summer season, but due to rain, these crops start rotting. Farmers can get good yield by planting early varieties of vegetables by machan method. First of all, the nursery is prepared and then planting is done in the main field without damaging the roots. To make machan, a net is made with the help of bamboo or wire and the vegetable vine is brought up with the help of wire or bamboo. During the rainy season, machan cultivation protects the fruit from damage. If there is any disease in the crop, then it is also easy to spray the pesticide in the machan.
Advantages of cultivation by machan method: The growth of crops is very good. The crop gets plenty of sunlight and air. Weeds and grasses are also affected less. The machan can be used for 3 years. Pests and the risk of disease is reduced because it prevents the crop from contact with the soil and the attack of diseases is very less.
The care of the crop is easily done such as it is easy to do spraying etc., 2 to 3 vegetables can be cultivated at a time. The machan method can prove successful in doubling the income of the farmer. Through this method, the farmer can save 90 percent of the crop from spoilage. Along with this, the loss in farming will also be less for the farmers.

What factors affect crop production?

19/06/2021 Saturday June 19th, 2021

Climate: This is the most important factor in cropping patterns. Climate determines which crop will provide good yield in which area. The crop production capacity of an area mainly depends on the climatic and soil condition of the region.
Soil: Soil is also an important factor in cropping patterns. Each soil has some special properties which are more suitable for the production of a particular crop. Similarly, the soil of an area is more fertile and the soil of some area is less fertile.
Rainfall: Due to less or more rainfall, the crop is affected a lot because some crops suffer from fungal diseases due to excessive rainfall and some crops are not able to germinate well due to less rainfall. If there is no rain and there is a shortage of water while filling the grain, then the grain does not fill and there is a decrease in the yield.
Temperature: Temperature plays an important role in the growth of plants. It controls the physical process of plant metabolism. If the temperature is too low or too high, the growth of the crop will be affected.
Irrigation: Irrigation is an important factor among non-physical factors. We can compensate for the lack of rainfall by irrigation. We can manage irrigation by building canals. With an irrigation facility, production per hectare can be increased.
Seed: The quality of seeds also plays an important role in cropping patterns. Sowing high yielding seeds can make significant improvements to an agro-economy like India. Area-specific yields can be increased by 10 to 20 percent with improved seeds.
Fertilizers: Fertilizers help in increasing the production of food grains by increasing the fertility of the soil. Agricultural yields increase in areas where balanced fertilizers are used.

Symptoms and reason of magnesium deficiency and its excess

18/06/2021 Friday June 18th, 2021

Cause of Magnesium Deficiency:- Magnesium deficiency can occur when soils are high in potassium or ammonia, or when these nutrients are overused, as they work against the magnesium present in the soil.
Cause of magnesium :– Excessive use of fertilizers leads to excess magnesium in the soil, due to which the drainage of water in the soil is obstructed.
Magnesium deficiency symptoms: – Magnesium deficiency symptoms first appear on mature leaves, magnesium deficiency causes irregular leaf shape and leaves become rough, magnesium deficiency causes leaf veins to appear greenish-yellow, severely affected leaves light brown spots appear on the edges of the leaves, due to magnesium deficiency, yellowing appears on the edges of the leaves, due to which the root development is not done and the crop becomes weak.

Why is there a deficiency and excess of calcium in the soil?

17/06/2021 Thursday June 17th, 2021

Cause of Calcium Deficiency:– If there is too much gap between irrigation, the soil becomes more dry which leads to calcium deficiency, soil with low pH, high saline water or ammonium rich soil can also cause calcium deficiency.
Cause of excess calcium: – Due to irregular and excessive use of fertilizer containing SSP, there is a reason for excess of calcium.
Symptoms of Calcium Deficiency: Due to the very low mobility of calcium in plant tissues, the symptoms of deficiency mainly appear on rapidly growing parts of the plant. Due to this the leaves turn yellow and gradually dry up. Symptoms of calcium deficiency also appear on the base parts of the leaves.
Symptoms of calcium deficiency appear as dry dead spots on the stem of the plant and the upper growing part of the stem becomes dead. Symptoms of blossom end rot appear in fruits due to calcium deficiency..
The pH of the soil increases due to the excess of calcium.

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.

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.

Preparations to be done in soybean crop before sowing

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.

How To Control Fall ArmyWorm In Maize By Seed Treatment

13/06/2021 Thursday June 10th, 2021

Maize is the main crop of the Kharif season and, during the Kharif season, there is a lot of moisture in the soil, due to which the attack of fall armyworm is very high in Maize.
For the control of fall armyworm, it is very important to take measures at the time of sowing of maize so that there is no damage to the maize crop.
By plowing the field before sowing maize, the pupae of insects are eaten by birds. To prevent fall armyworm, sow the seeds only after treating them with insecticide.
Fall armyworm destroys the maize crop by eating its roots and leaves, due to which the maize crop is completely destroyed.
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.
