Mites control in Chili crop

06/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

These are small yellowish-green insects that suck the juice by staying on the lower surface of the leaves.
Due to which the leaves turn downwards. White to yellow spots appear on the surface after eating leaves.
These mites form white colored threads on the lower surface of the leaves.
Due to excess attack, along with the number of flowers and fruits, the quality also decreases and the plant starts drying up.
For effective control of this pest, spray Propargite 57% EC @ 400 ml or Spiromesifen 22.9% SC @ 200 ml or Abamectin 1.9% EC @ 150 ml in 200 liters of water per acre.

Importance of Rhizobium culture in soybean crop

05/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Rhizobium is a bacteria found in soybean roots which increases the crop yield by atmospheric nitrogen fixing. But currently the amount of undesirable elements in the soil has so much increased that the bacteria of Rhizobium in the soybean crop are unable to function to the best of their ability.
Therefore, using Rhizobium culture produces fast legume in the roots of soybean crop and increases the yield of soybean by 50-60%.
The use of Rhizobium culture increases about 12-16 kg of nitrogen to the soil per acre.
Rhizobium culture is done by adding 5 grams per kg of seed for seed treatment and 1 kg of culture per 50 kg FYM before sowing for soil treatment.
Nitrogen deposited by Rhizobium bacteria present in the roots of the pulses is used in the next crop, which also requires less fertilization in the next crop.

Current advice related to Soybean cultivation in the changing environment

05/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

For the cultivation of soybean, sow after 20 June. Rainfall is likely to occur by the end of September this year, so short-term soybean varieties may be a problem. Hence long-term soybeans can be used for early planting. For seed treatment, take out the seeds of soybean and prepare the seeds after treatment.

For seed treatment use clean and Vitavax 2.5 gram per kg seed and Jhalora 2.0 ml per kg seed, P Rise 2.0 gram for organic seed treatment along with Rhizo Care 5 gram per kg. It is necessary to treat soybean with Rhizobium at the rate of 5 grams per kg of seeds. If there is a problem of drying soybeans in your field, then spread the rhizocare 500 grams per acre with good ripe dung manure. Be sure to use Soybean Samriddhi Kit before sowing.

Protection white fly in cotton

05/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Its nymphs and adults suck the juice by sticking it on the leaves, which causes light yellow color to fall on the leaves. Later the leaves become completely yellow and deformed.
This pest helps to spread viral disease.
To control this, Diafenthiuron 50% WP 250 gm or Pyriproxyfen 10% + bifenthrin 10% EC 250 ml or
Spraying of Flonicamid 50% WG 60 gm or Acetamiprid 20% SP 100 gm per acre in 200 liters of water.

How to prepare the field for sowing Soybean Crop

04/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Preparation of the field should start with a deep plowing, after that, 2-3 plowing harrows or with the help of a soil turning plow, soak the soil so that the water holding capacity of the soil is increased and seed germination can also be done well.
In May and June, the sunlight falls directly on the ground and the temperature is high, due to destroyed weeds, their seeds, harmful pests, and their eggs, pupa as well as the spores of the fungi present in the soil on deep plowing.
At the time of final plowing, mix 7 kg Soya Samriddhi kit issued by Gramophone in 4 tons FYM and level the field by running a pot.
There should be moisture in the soil while using this kit.

Improvement in essential commodities law, farmers will be able to sell produce outside the market

Transplanting method and fertilizer management of Chilli

04/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

In the field, deep plowing and 3-4 plowing with harrows or native plow should be done. By doing this, the harmful insects present in the soil, their eggs, the pupa, spores of the fungi are also destroyed. After that field should be platted.
After the final plowing, the ‘Chilli Samriddhi Kit’ published by Gramophone, which has a volume of 6.3 kg, should be mixed well with the final plowing or sowing time @ 5 tonnes per acre FYM. After that, give light irrigation.
After 35 to 40 days of sowing the chilli plant is ready for transplanting. Transplanting of rainy chilli plants should be done from mid-June to mid-July.
Before transplanting, light irrigation should be done in the nursery and the field, by doing this the root of the plant does not break, the growth is good and the plant gets planted easily.
After removing the plant from the nursery, it should not be kept directly in the sun.
For good growth of roots, make a solution in one-liter water at 5 grams of mycorrhiza per liter. After this, the roots of chili plants should be submerged in this solution for 10 minutes. After adopting this process, transplanting in the field so that chilli plants remain healthy in the field.
The distance of chili plants should be 60 cm and 45 cm from a distance of row to row & plant to plant respectively. Light water should be given to the field immediately after transplanting.
At the time of transplanting fertilizer basal dose 45 kg Urea, 200 kg SSP and 50 kg MOP should be broadcast in the one-acre field.

Selection of nursery area and preparation of nursery for paddy crop

03/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

For preparing healthy and disease-free plants, proper drainage and high nutrient loamy soil is suitable and select the nursery near the source of irrigation.
By plowing the nursery area 3-4 times in summer and leaving the field empty so soil-related diseases are greatly reduced.
Nursery preparations are done one month before sowing. Weeds should be allowed to grow in the nursery area by giving water at an interval of 15 days and by plowing or
Destroy the weeds by spraying nonselective weeds such as Paraquat dichloride 24% SL or Glyphosate 41% SL @ 1000 ml per acre. By doing this weeds will also be reduced in the main crop of paddy.
Add 1 kg of composting bacteria to 50 kg FYM. Then irrigate the field and keep water in the field for two days.
1.5-2.0 meter width and 8-10 meter length should be kept for proper care of the nursery beds. The nursery requires an area of 400 square meters for 1 acre.
In the nursery, the crop requires proper vegetative growth as well as root development. Spray urea 20 kg + humic acid in 3 kg per acre nursery.
Sowing of paddy should be started as soon as the rain starts. Sowing time is best from mid-June to the first week of July.

Timely advice related to agriculture for farmers in the changing environment

03/06/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Advice for moong crop:

Seeing the possibility of good rainfall at present, harvest the moong crop as soon as possible. Those whose mung bean crop is slightly green but the legumes have fully matured, harvest the best crop by spraying 100 ml per acre using paraquat dichloride 24% SL (ozone or gramoxone).

Use of composting bacteria:

As you know, the rains have happened before time, so there is a possibility of mold growth and to avoid this, the residues of the remaining crop in the fields need to be rot. For this, spread the speed compost with 4 kg and 500 grams of Trichoderma viridi (Rhizocare) per acre mixed with 50 kg of rotten cow dung in the field. If there is a waste of wheat, 45 kg of urea, and 10 kg of urea if green vegetables are used. Use them only when there is sufficient moisture.

If the farmer does light plowing with the above biological treatment, then chances of good results increase.

Tips for Chili crop:

At this time the safety of chili nursery is very important. Therefore, sprinkle 10 grams of thiomethoxome 25 WG (avidant or Areva) with Kasugamycin 5% + Copper oxychloride 45% WP (Konica) 30 g per pump to protect the plant from fungi and pests.
