Use of growth regulators in Watermelon

19/12/2017Posted on

Use of growth regulators in Watermelon:- For hormonal remedies in watermelon, they should use the same hormone which is beneficial for the watermelon crop and whose effect is not harmful on the watermelon crop and if increases the number of female flowers which provide fruit in watermelon. To achieve maximum production, hormone treatment is Important in this crop for this purpose, which is necessary for its production. At 2-4 leaf stage of watermelon, spraying of ethyl 250 PPM (4 ml / pump) solution, increases the number of female flowers, and yields more.

Role of Calcium in Plants

19/12/2017Posted on

Role of Calcium in Plants:- Calcium is an essential plant nutrient. It has many roles:

  • Participates in metabolic processes of other nutrients uptake.
  • Promotes proper plant cell elongation.
  • Strengthen cell wall structure – calcium is an essential part of plant cell wall. It forms calcium pectate compounds which give stability to cell walls and bind cells together.
  • Participates in enzymatic and hormonal processes.
  • Helps in protecting the plant against heat stress – calcium improves stomata function and participates in induction of heat shock proteins.
  • Helps in protecting the plant against diseases – numerous fungi and bacteria secret enzymes which impair plant cell wall. Stronger Cell walls, induced by calcium, can avoid the invasion.
  • Affects fruit quality.
  • Has a role in the regulation of the stomata.

Management of Pea Pod Borer

18/12/2017Posted on

Pea Pod Borer:- The larva of this insect cuts the pedicel of the flower and feeds on the stalk. Single larva damages many flower stalks. The larva feed on the leaves initially stage then bore in to the basal portion of stalks and inter the pod feeds on soft grains.

Management:- Plough deeply, Clean cultivation to expose the resting pupae. Trap cropping with crops likes Tomato and destroying them when the population is high and mechanically remove the adults and larvae from the trap crop. Use of inter crops like maize cow pea and brinjal significantly helps in reducing the pest population. Install the bird perches in the field. Application of HaNPV at the rate of 100 LE per acre along with 0.5 % jiggery and 0.1% boric acid at egg hatch stage and repeat at 15-20 days. Use of chemicals should comprise 2.00 ml profenophos 50 EC per litre of water as ovicides. Spraying neem seed kernel extract 5% in the early stage. If the infestation is sevre, spraying 0.5 ml Indoxacarb 14.5% SC or 0.1 ml Spinosad 45 SC or 2.5 ml Chlorpyriphos 20 EC can be applied.

Healthy Potato Crop due to Sulphur Application

17/12/2017Posted on

Farmer Name:- Suresh patidar

Village:- Kanardi

Tehsil:- Tarana

District:- Ujjain

State:- Madhya Pradesh

Farmer Bhai Suresh Ji planted Chipsona-3 potatoes in two acres in which he used sulfur 90% WDG at the rate of 6 kg / acre, which gave him good results. Sulphur is an important component of enzyme and other proteins and is essential for the formation of chlorophyll. It is recommended to give the soil preparation time of 20 kg / Ha. sulphur.

Role of Potassium In Plant Growth

16/12/2017Posted on

Potassium (K) essentially plays a major role in plant physiological processes. Therefore, it is required in large amounts for proper growth and reproduction in plants. It is considered vital after nitrogen as far as nutrients needed by plants is concerned. It is also termed “the quality nutrient” for its contributing factor in a number of biological and chemical processes in plants. Potassium has many different roles in plants:

  • In Photosynthesis, potassium regulates the opening and closing of stomata, and therefore regulates CO2 uptake.
  • Potassium triggers activation of enzymes and is essential for production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP is an important energy source for many chemical processes taking place in plant issues.
  • Potassium plays a major role in the regulation of water in plants (osmo-regulation). Both uptake of water through plant roots and its loss through the stomata are affected by potassium.
  • Known to improve drought resistance.
  • Protein and starch synthesis in plants require potassium as well. Potassium is essential at almost every step of the protein synthesis. In starch synthesis, the enzyme responsible for the process is activated by potassium.
  • Activation of enzymes – potassium has an important role in the activation of many growth related enzymes in plants.

Irrigation Water quality

15/12/2017Posted on

The water quality used for irrigation is essential for the yield and quantity of crops, maintenance of soil productivity, and protection of the environment. For example, the physical and mechanical properties of the soil, ex. soil structure (stability of aggregates) and permeability are very sensitive to the type of exchangeable ions present in irrigation waters.

Irrigation water quality can best be determined by chemical laboratory analysis. The most important factors to determine the suitability of water use in agriculture are the following:

  • PH
  • Salinity Hazard
  • Sodium Hazard (Sodium Adsorption Ration or SAR)
  • Carbonate and bicarbonates in relation with the Ca & Mg Content
  • Other trace elements
  • Toxic anions
  • Nutrients
  • Free chlorine

Cultivation of healthy Onion Crop

15/12/2017Posted on

Farmer Name:- Jagdish Lodhi

Village:- Chawani

Tehsil:- Tarana, District:- Ujjain

State:- Madhya Pradesh

Farmer Jagdish ji has transplanted onions in 1 acre and it is cultivated purely under the guidance of the gramophone team. Jagdish Bhai says that now I would get access to farming related items, that too with expert advice, which saved both my money and time and the crop is already healthy. This facility is very useful for the farmer.

Role of Phosphorus in Plants

14/12/2017Posted on

Phosphorus (P) is essential for all living organisms. Plants must have phosphorus for normal growth and maturity. Phosphorus plays a role in photosynthesis, respiration, energy storage and transfer, cell division, cell enlargement and several other processes in plants. Phosphorus is a vital component of DNA, the genetic “memory unit” of all living things. Phosphorus is a vital component of ATP, the “energy unit” of plants. Thus, phosphorus is essential for the general health and vigour of all plants. Some specific growth factors that have been associated with phosphorus are:

  • Stimulated root development
  • Increased stalk and stem strength
  • Improved flower formation and seed production
  • More uniform and earlier crop maturity
  • Increased nitrogen N-fixing capacity of legumes
  • Improvements in crop quality
  • Increased resistance to plant diseases
  • Supports development throughout entire life cycle

Growing Healthy Garlic Crop

14/12/2017Posted on

Farmer name :- Shri Salikram Ji Chandel

Village:- Dhaniya

Tehsil :- Depalpur , District :- Indore

state:- Madhya Pradesh

Bio-Fertilizer mycorrhiza (VAM) :- The mycorrhiza is association between fungal mycelia and plant roots. VAM is a fungus that penetrates the roots of a plant to helps them to take nutrients from the soil. VAM help in nutrient uptake mainly of phosphorus, zinc and sulphur. The VAM hyphae also help is retaining moisture around the root zone of plants. Use of Bio- fertilizer (Mycorrhiza) as per gramophone recommendation and very good results in Garlic crops and today shri salikram ji very happy with their healthy and disease pest free crop.
