Time of Sowing, Spacing and Seed rate of Carrot:-

  • Time of sowing:- August-September is best time for sowing local (desi) varieties of carrots whereas October-November month is ideal for European varieties.
  • Seed Rate:- For sowing of one acre land seed rate of 4-5 kg is sufficient.
  • Spacing:- Use row to row spacing of 45 cm and plant to plant spacing of 7.5 cm.

Nutrient Management in Pea

05/10/2019Posted on

A basal dose of 12 kg N per acre at planting is sufficient for stimulating early growth.

  • The higher dose of nitrogen has an adverse effect on nodulation fixation.
  • The crop gives a good response to phosphorus application as it favors nitrogen fixation by increasing nodule formation. It also increases the yield and quality of pea.
  • Potassic fertilizers also have an effect in increasing the yield and nitrogen fixation ability of the plant.

General Recommendations:

General recommended fertilizer doses depend upon the:

  • The fertility of soil and the amount of organic manure applied to the crop.
  • Sowing conditions:  Whether the field is irrigated or rainfed?
  • If the crop is rainfed, doses become just half.

How much to apply?

  • 06-08 t/acre of well-decomposed FYM is incorporated into the soil.
  • For the better yield in pea use 10 kg  Urea, 50 kg DAP, 15 kg MOP and 6 kg Sulphur 90% per acre during the land preparation use the half quantity of urea and the full quantity of remain fertilizer and remaining quantity of urea used in two split doses during the irrigation.

04/10/2019Posted on
  • Remove the alternate weeds hosts.
  • Monitor the incidence regularly and look for crawler emergence.
  • Take up the management at the initial stage to get maximum control.
  • Wherever necessary use neem based botanical insecticides such as neem oil @ 75 ml per pump or NSKE @ 75 ml per pump.
  • Use of Dimethoate @ 30 ml/pump or Profenophos @ 40 ml/pump or Buprofezin @ 50 ml/pump may be adopted as an alternative.

Sowing time, Planting and Seed Rate of Garlic

03/10/2019Posted on
  • Cloves are sown in September-November in central India.
  • The selection of cloves is important for garlic planting.
  • Individual cloves from seed garlic bulbs should be separated but not long before planting.
  • Twist off the outer skins and take the cloves apart without breaking the basal plate of the cloves, as that makes them unusable for planting.
  • With hardneck garlic, the remainder of the stem acts as a handy lever for separating the cloves.
  • Big cloves (>1.5g) should be selected for planting. Small, diseased and damaged cloves should be rejected.
  • The seed rate for garlic is 160-200 kg/acre.
  • Selected cloves should be planted vertically 2 cm below the soil surface with the plant to plant spacing of 10 cm and row to row spacing of 15 cm.

  • Conserved soil moisture during Monsoon.
  • Level up after deep plowing (6-7 inches).
  • Use disease-free seed.
  • Follow 6-year crop rotations.
  • Grow resistant varieties.
  • Seed treatment with Carboxin 37.%+ Thiram 37.5% @ 2 gm /kg or Trichoderma viride @ 5 gm/kg.
  • Avoid sowing when the temperature is high. Sown in the second and third weeks of October.
  • Irrigation in November-December.
  • Apply Mycorrhiza @ 4 kg/acre at 15 days after sowing.
  • Spraying Thiaphanate methyl 75% WP @ 300 gm/acre at before flowering.

Damping off disease in Onion

30/09/2019Posted on
  • High soil moisture and moderate temperature along with high humidity, especially in the rainy season led to the development of the disease.  
  • Pre-emergence damping off results in seed and seedling rot before these emerge out of the soil.  
  • Post-emergence damping-off results in pathogen attack the collar region of seedlings on the surface of the soil.  
  • The collar portion rots and ultimately the seedling collapse and die. 
  • Healthy seeds should be selected for sowing.
  • Spray of Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% or Thiaphanate methyl 70% WP @ 50 gm/Pump.
