Control of Red Mites in Brinjal Crop

  • Red Mites are small insects that live in groups on the lower surface of leaves.

  • It sucks the sap from the leaves. This leads to a lack of nutrients in the plants.

  • This causes the leaves to wither and curl downwards, stunting the growth of the plants.

  • Due to its outbreak, the fruits ripen less or fall unripe. Webs appear in the plants when there is more infection.

Control: To prevent this, adopt crop rotation or uproot and destroy the affected plants. Apart from this, spray Omite (Proparasite 57% EC) @ 400 ml/acre or Oberon (Spiromesifen 22.90% SC) @ 160 ml mixed in 200 litres of water.

Identification and prevention of Aphid pests in brinjal crops

Aphids are small, insects that can be yellow, brown or black in appearance. Generally, this pest is found on the lower surface of brinjal leaves, which make groups and suck the sap from the leaves, due to which the shape of the leaves deteriorates. These pests leave sticky honeydew on the leaves, which increases the chances of fungal diseases. Severe infection causes wilting of the leaves and stunted plant growth.

Control: Spray Solomon (Beta-Cyfluthrin 08.49% + Imidacloprid 19.81% OD) 80 ml/acre or Tafgor (Dimethoate 30% EC) 300 ml/acre in 200 litres of water as soon as you see this pest.

How to manage fertilizer in a cotton crop

How to manage fertilizer in a cotton crop

Most farmers do not use fertilizers at the time of sowing, they often think that if it is too hot now, it will not be appropriate to apply fertilizers, they will be given them when it rains, but this thinking is wrong. For the formation of roots, plant growth, formation of branches, it is essential to apply basal fertilizer at the initial stage, otherwise, there will be a huge reduction in production.

If available, well-decomposed cow dung manure/compost at the rate of 4 to 5 tonnes per acre must be given.

For good growth, and development of cotton, give (Urea-30 kg)(DAP-50 kg) (Muriate of Potash-30 kg) and TRI-COAT MAXX at the rate of 4 kg per acre at the time of last ploughing or field preparation.

Measures for the prevention of white grub in cotton

Measures for the prevention of white grub in cotton

These insects, which live in the soil during the day, are more active during the night. The larvae of this pest damage the plants by feeding on the roots. Due to the damage to the roots, the plants do not get the proper amount of nutrients. Due to this the plants start drying up and get destroyed after some time.

Control:

  • If this insect is seen, then irrigate in sufficient quantity, so that the insect comes out of the soil when there is moisture in the field.

  • Do deep ploughing immediately after harvesting, due to which the insects hiding inside the ground are destroyed by the heat of the sun and the outbreak of pests and diseases on the crops is reduced. At the same time, the ability of the fields to hold rainwater also increases, which protects the crops from drought.

  • To control this pest, use Fury (Carbofuran 3% CG) at the rate of 4 kg/Acre.

Problem of Nematode in vegetable crops and their prevention

Problem of Nematode in vegetable crops and their prevention

Nematodes are microscopic worm-like insects that mainly attack the plant roots of vegetable crops like – (Tomato, Brinjal, Chili, Okra, and Cucumber). The formation of knots on the roots is the main symptom of this nematode. Small knots are formed on the roots of the diseased plant, due to which the plant’s ability to absorb nutrients and water decreases, due to which the plant remains yellow and small. The growth of the plant stops and eventually, the whole crop dries up.

Control measures:

After light irrigation of the field in summer, do 2-3 deep ploughing at an interval of 10-12 days. Due to this, the nematodes will come to the upper surface and die due to sunlight.

To control it, apply Nemato Free Plus (Verticillium chlamydosporium) @ 2-4 kg/acre at the time of field preparation, sowing or transplanting. Treat the land with Velam Prime (Fluopyram 34.48% SC) 250 ml/acre through drip or drenching.

Identification and prevention of anthracnose disease in moong crops

Both the productivity and quality of the crop are affected due to this disease. Spots are visible on diseased pods. These spots are light brown and red in colour. Similar spots are formed on leaves and stem. It spreads rapidly in the crop when there is high moisture. Circular sickle-shaped spots appear on the pods and the diseased parts fall off. The quality of the seeds affected by this disease gets spoiled.

Control measures:

  • Before sowing, seed treatment should be done with Dhanustine (Carbendazim 50% WP) at the rate of 2 gm/kg of seed.

  • Spray Dhanustine (Carbendazim 50% WP) 100 gm/acre or M-45 (Mancozeb 70% WP) 400 gm/acre mixed with 200 litres of water as soon as the symptoms of the disease are seen in the crop, should be repeated at an interval of 10-15 days as per the requirement.

Identification and prevention of Boron element deficiency in Cauliflower

Boron plays an important role in vegetables. Boron deficiency in cauliflower causes browning of the upper surface of the flower. Boron deficiency symptoms usually appear after flowering. Water-soaked areas appear initially on the stem and flower

Browning disease is caused by the deficiency of Boron. In this, the stem becomes hollow and the flower becomes brown.

To prevent this, mix Calbor at the rate of 5 kg per acre in the soil and spray Boron at the rate of 15 grams per 15 liters of water.

Measures to control fruit borer and stem borer in Brinjal crop

The outbreak of this pest is highest in Brinjal. In the initial stage, its caterpillar makes a hole in the soft stem, due to which the stem and top part of the plant dry up. Due to its attack, flowers fall before flowering. After this, it makes a hole in the fruit and enters inside and eats the pulp. Due to this the affected fruits rot and the fruits are not edible, due to which there is a considerable drop in the market price.

Control Measures: To control it, spray Spintor (Spinosad 45% SC) 75 ml/acre or Fame (Flubendiamide 39.35% SC) 50 ml/acre or Cover (Chlorantraniliprole 18.% SC) 60ml/acre mixed in 200 litres of water.

Identification and control Measures of Damping Off Disease in Chilli Nursery

Damping Off Disease in Chilli Nursery

Damping Off disease spreads through fungus and the outbreak of this disease is mostly seen in nurseries. Most of the effects of Damping Off disease are seen in 10-15 day-old plants. Due to Damping Off disease, the roots and stems of the plants start rotting. The stems of the plants begin to thin and the leaves begin to wither. When plants are removed in large quantities at the time of transplanting, the disease spreads more rapidly.

Control Measures:

  • To avoid this disease, adopt crop rotation and select varieties resistant to damping off disease.

  • Seed treatment before sowing is very important.

  • For biological control, treat Combat (Trichoderma viride) 8g/kg of seed.

  • or  Vitavex (Carboxin 37.5% + Thiram 37.5% WS) @ 3 g/kg or Dhanustin (Carbendazim 50% WP) @ 3 g/kg of seed.

Problem and solution of Rust in Moong Crop

  • The symptoms of this disease are reddish-brown spots appearing on the lower surface of the leaves.

  • These spots are less visible on pods and stems but more visible on leaves.

  • Pods affected by this disease mature early due to which the grains are shrivelled and there is a huge reduction in yield.

  • To control it, spray M-45 (Mancozeb 75% WP) at the rate of 600-800 gm/acre mixed with 200 liters of water.
