Precautions to be followed during seed treatment in Kharif crops

13/06/2021 Thursday June 10th, 2021

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
Use only recommended doses of fungicide and insecticide
Seeds can be treated before sowing time.

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.

Potash deficiency and excess causes and diagnosis

11/06/2021 Thursday June 10th, 2021

Reason for the deficiency of potassium: Due to more alkaline soil, no or less use of organic manure and continuous intensive crop rotation, the deficiency of potash has started showing in the soil. Due to the deficiency of potash, the plant becomes more sensitive to environmental stress and seed and fruit size are not developed properly.
Excess of potassium: Due to excessive use of MOP and other potash fertilizers, there is an excess of potash in the soil. Due to its excess, the shape of the leaves becomes distorted.
Functions of Potash: Potash is an essential nutrient for crops, Potash plays a very important role in transporting synthesized sugars in plants to the fruits. Potash promotes the efficiency of natural nitrogen. Potash is essential for the manufacture of lycopene for the red color of tomatoes. Potash increases the weight of the fruits.

Cause and diagnosis of phosphorus deficiency in soil

07/06/2021 Monday June 7th, 2021

Phosphorus is the major nutrient that is found in soil, If the soil remains deficient, then its effect can be seen very easily on the crop. The symptoms of deficiency are first seen on young leaves or plants.

The reason for the deficiency of phosphorus: There is deficiency of phosphorus in the soil which is rich in calcium. Due to this, the availability of phosphorus decreases even if the pH of the soil is low or high. Because in alkaline soil, the available phosphorus is less absorbed by roots . The main reason for its deficiency is that phosphorus particles are fixed in the soil and the plants are not able to absorb it. Also, if the soil moisture is low then this element is also deficient.

Its deficiency can be controlled in two ways

Organic measures: Under organic measures, organic manure which is considered a good source of phosphorus, it is very important to use it in different growth stages of the crop. Organic fertilizers like vermicompost, dung, bird’s beets and residues of old crops are rotten and added to the soil, then these crop residues are also a good source of phosphorus. Simultaneously phosphorus-rich microbes such as phosphate solubilizing bacteria.

Chemical measures: Phosphorus containing fertilizers like DAP, SSP, 12: 61: 00, NPK etc. can be used.

Cause and diagnosis of Nitrogen deficiency in soil

06/06/2021 Monday June 7th, 2021

During vegetative growth, crops need more nitrogen, if its availability is low at this stage then crop production is greatly affected.
Reason for nitrogen deficiency: Nitrogen deficiency is found in sandy soil and soil with good drainage, frequent rain or heavy irrigation also cause nitrogen deficiency in the soil
Loss of Nitrogen Deficiency: Due to deficiency of nitrogen, the color of the plant becomes light green, growth of plants is less than normal and the number of spikes is reduced. In cereal crops such as corn, paddy, wheat, etc., the lower leaves of the plant first start drying up. and gradually the top leaves also dry up, the color of the leaves is white and the leaves sometimes burn. Due to its excess, the yellowing of the leaves is seen in large amounts and due to this, the amount of other nutrients is also affected.

Two ways can be taken to compensate for nitrogen deficiency.

Organic measures: Under organic measures, organic manure which is considered a good source of nitrogen is very important to use in different growth stages of the crop. It is very important to use organic fertilizers like vermicompost, manure. Nitrogenous bacteria like Azotobacter, Azospirillum, Rhizobium etc can reduce the nitrogen deficiency.
Chemical measures: Nitrogen-containing fertilizers such as Urea, NPK, Ammonium nitrate, Ammonium sulfate, 12:61:00, 13:00:45 can be used to overcome nitrogen deficiency and for good crop production.
