How to identify and control the outbreak of sawfly in mustard

  • This pest causes more damage to the mustard crop after 25-30 days of germination.

  • The rear part of the female adult of this insect is very developed and saw-like, due to which it lays eggs in the leaves by piercing. It sucks the sap from the plant, along infects the flower and flies away. Often this fly devours the major part of the inflorescence, which stops the growth of the plant. 

  • The larva of this insect feeds on leaves after sunset and in the early morning and remains hidden inside the soil during the day.

  • When there is more outbreak of sawfly on the crop, instead of the leaves, only the web of veins remains.

  • To control, take a spray of Profenophos 50% EC @ 500 ml or Thiamethoxam 12.6% + Lambda Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC @ 80 gm or Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG @ 100 gm/acre.

  • For biological control, use Bavaria bassiana @ 250 gm/acre.

Gramophone Greetings on Farmer's Day

On behalf of the Gramophone family, wishing all the farmers a very happy Kisan Diwas. Well, for the Gramophone family, Kisanotsav is held every day, sometimes through phone calls, sometimes through app notifications, sometimes through videos, sometimes through Gramophone Uday newspaper and sometimes personally. Reach out to farmers in villages and work step by step with farmers.

It is the result of this dedication of the members of Team Gramophone that farmers have started considering us as a part of their family. When farmers describe gramophone as their partner, friend, brother, then we feel happy as well as responsible and we are always ready to do every work for our farmer brothers, which makes their farming easier, agriculture cost is reduced. And increase the income. This association of farmer brothers and gramophone will remain like this in future also and Indian agriculture will continue to touch new heights. Once again wishing you all a very Happy Farmer’s Day. You are we are.

  • Fertilizer management in watermelon crops protects the crop from nutritional problems.

  • Apply DAP @ 50 kg + Boronated SSP @ 75 kg + Potash @ 75 kg + Zinc sulphate @ 10 kg + Magnesium sulphate @ 10 kg as soil treatment at the time of field preparation before sowing.

  • Samridhi kit with 20 kg Urea at the time of sowing [ Trichoderma virdi (Rhizocare) 500 gm + Consortia of NPK Bacteria  (Team Bio-3) 3 kg  + ZnSB (Taba G) 4 kg + Seaweed, Humic, Amino Acids and Mycorrhiza ( Maxxmyco) 2 kg] per acre.

  • In this way, by managing fertilizers, the supply of phosphorus, potash, nitrogen along other fertilizers and nutrients is easily done in the crop and soil.

Management of Ascochyta blight in Gram Crop

    • These days the symptoms of Ascochyta blight are being seen commonly in the crop. 

    • The symptoms of this disease are small circular brown spots on the leaves, stems and petioles.

    • Under favourable conditions, these spots develop rapidly, affecting leaves and buds.

    • During a severe infestation, the plant suddenly dries up and in the later stages of the infection, the seed starts to shrink.

    • Keep in mind that this disease is seed-borne and spreads more through old crop residues.

Management: 

  • For chemical control, spray Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP @ 300 gm or Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% @ 400 gm or Chlorothalonil 75% WP @ 400 gm per acre.

  • For biological control, spray Pseudomonas fluorescens @500gm/acre.
