Termite identification, damage symptoms and management in wheat

Termite identification, damage symptoms and management in wheat

  • The wheat crop can be damaged by termites either after sowing or sometimes at the stage of maturity.

  • Termites often cause damage to crop roots, stems of growing plants, and dead plant tissues.

  • Damaged plants withers completely and are easily uprooted from the ground.

  • If well-decomposed manure is not used, the soil is more susceptible to termite attacks. 

  • Deep plough the field before sowing.

  • Use only well-decomposed manure 

  • Must treat soil with insecticide Metarhizium Anisopliae

  • Raw dung manure should not be used because raw dung is the staple food of this insect.

  • Fill the termite mound with kerosene so that all other insects along with the termite queen die.

  • Do seed treatment with Chlorpyriphos (20% EC) @ 5 ml / kg seed before sowing.

  • To control termites, use Chlorpyriphos 20% EC @ 1 litre mixed with any fertilizer and broadcast in soil and irrigate it.

Know how to manage irrigation in garlic crop at all stages

  • It is very important to have proper moisture in the field at the time of sowing a garlic crop, so irrigate the field before sowing. After three days of germination, irrigation should be done again.

  • Irrigate after every one week of vegetative growth, or as per the need. 

  • Irrigation should not be done during the bulb formulations. 

  • The crop should be irrigated 2-3 days before harvesting, which makes it easy to harvest the crop.

  • During the maturation of the crop, the moisture in the soil should not be reduced, which can cause an adverse effect on the growth of the crop.
