Information about three main methods of planting potatoes

In India, farmers generally plant potatoes in three ways. In today’s article, let us know about these three methods.

  • Planting potatoes on ridges: After preparation of the field, ridges are made at a distance of 45-60 cm with the help of a spade. Planting of potatoes is done on the ridges with the help of khurpi.

  • Flat method: Planting of potatoes is done on a flat surface in shallow furrows. Ridges are made after germination when plants attain 10-12 cm in height. This method is suitable for light soils. Later on, two to three earthings are done to make the ridges thick.

  • Planting potatoes on a flat surface followed by ridges: In this method field is prepared and then shallow furrows are opened on the flat surface. Potatoes are planted in furrows and immediately after planting tubers, small ridges are made. Later on, these ridges are made thick by earthing up the side soil.

Potato farmers must keep these things in mind while selecting seeds

Potato farmers must keep these things in mind while selecting seeds

  • For potato cultivation, farmers should select only high-yielding, pest-free, healthy and pure seeds. The use of certified seeds is very important for good yield.

  • It is also advisable to replace the seed stock every 3-4 years as failure to do so may spoil the varieties and result in low yields.

  • Healthy, medium or small-sized sprouted tubers should be selected for planting.

  • For ideal planting, the tuber size should be about 2.5 cm in diameter and 25-40 grams in weight.

  • Larger tubers can be harvested. Each piece should have 2-3 long eye-shaped pieces.

  • The seed should be from the previous year’s crop, the seed rate being about 1.5 to 2.5 tonnes per hectare.

  • The harvested tubers can be used for the main crop. Care should be taken when cutting tubers.

  • Each piece should have two to three eyes and weigh at least 25 grams. If any diseased tuber is seen, it should be removed.

Construction Method of Zero Energy Cool Chamber

18/10/2024Posted on
Construction Method of Zero Energy Cool Chamber

  • A rectangle pops about 165 X 115 cm by depositing bricks. A double wall of bricks is constructed with the help of soil mud on this platform. The space between 7-8 cm between the double wall of bricks is kept empty. The height of the double wall is kept up to 60-65 cm.

  • After this, the sieved gravel is soaked in water and filled in space between the double walls.

  • Constructed from pieces of bamboo, gunny or sackcloth. The length and breadth of this length are kept at par with the entire cool chamber.

  • The water tank is placed at a height of 4 to 5 feet with 1 pipe. The pipe is routed between double walls of bricks as well as 15–15 cm in the pipe. Holes are made in the pipe for water to fall and leak and this water keeps the sand and bricks wet.

  • The fruits and vegetables are kept in plastic baskets and kept in this cool chamber and the lid is placed on top.

18/10/2024Posted on
know the weather forecast,

The depression that had formed in the Bay of Bengal has made landfall north of Chennai around the coast of southern Andhra Pradesh and northern Tamil Nadu. Now it has weakened but it is expected to reach the Arabian Sea once again. There it can strengthen again. A cyclonic wind area has formed in the Bay of Bengal, due to its effect low pressure will be formed which will strengthen and become a depression. It will move in the northwest direction towards the coast of Andhra Pradesh or Odisha. It is difficult to say anything about whether it will become a storm in future or not. Around October 24, the first good western disturbance of this season may come in the mountains, due to which there is a possibility of good snowfall in the mountains.

Identify foot and mouth disease in animals by its symptoms

17/10/2024Posted on
Identify foot and mouth disease in animals by its symptoms

This disease is caused to animals by a very small virus or virus that is not visible to the naked eye. Which is called the foot and mouth virus.

Reasons for the spread of the disease:

This disease mainly spreads through direct contact with infected animal secretions and excretory fluids such as saliva, dung, milk, grain, water, grass, utensils, hands of the milker and through the air. Viruses are in large numbers in this discharge and enter the body of a healthy animal through the mouth and nose.

Symptoms of the disease:

When this disease occurs, the animal has a high fever (104-106*F). Small blisters are formed in the mouth of the sick animal mainly on the top of the tongue, inside the lips, on the gums as well as in the space between the hooves. Then gradually these blisters coalesce to form bigger blisters. When the time comes, these blisters burst and there are wounds in them. Due to blisters in the mouth, animals stop chewing and stop eating and drinking, saliva keeps falling continuously from the mouth, as well as the sound like chap-chap is also heard while running the mouth. Milk production in milch animals is reduced by up to 80%. Animals start getting weak. Even after getting healthy, the affected animal keeps on panting for months and many times for life.

Importance of Sulfur in crops

16/10/2024Posted on
Importance of Sulfur in crops

  • Sulfur is helpful in increasing the percentage of protein in crops, as well as sulfur contributes to the production of chlorophyll, which causes the leaf to remain green and produce food for plants.

  • Sulfur increases the efficiency and availability of nitrogen.

  • In pulse crops, using sulfur, is helpful in making more nodules in the roots of the plants, due to which the bacteria called Rhizobium present in the roots of the plants, take the nitrogen present in the atmosphere, and make it available to the crops. 

  • Enhances the quality of tobacco, vegetables and fodder crops.

  • The important use of sulfur is to increase the amount of protein and oil in oilseeds. 

  • Sulfur increases the amount of starch in potatoes.

  • Sulfur is called soil reformer because it lowers the pH of the soil.
