Agriculture work required to be done in April

Agriculture work required to be done in April
  • Plough the field deeply, leave the field open, so that the pupae, insects, their eggs and weeds present in the soil, pathogens that spread fungal diseases are destroyed.

  • This month, do a soil test after harvesting. Soil testing measures soil pH, electrical conductivity, organic carbon as well as major and micronutrient deficiencies, which can be improved over time.

  • After harvesting wheat, green manure like dhaincha, cowpea, green gram etc. can be sown to improve the health of the soil.

  • Green gram – If there is a lack of moisture in the soil, then do light irrigation. Before irrigation, weeding should be done, so that the moisture in the soil can remain for a long time. If there is a problem with thrips, aphids and jassids, spray Thiamethoxam 25% WG  [ThiaNova 25] @ 100 gm/acre.

  • Spray Homobrassinolide [Double] @ 100 ml/acre for growth and more numbers of flowers in Cucurbitaceae crops.

  • For cotton cultivation, deep ploughing and harrowing should be done 3-4 times, so that the water holding capacity increases with the friable soil. By doing this, harmful insects present in the soil, their eggs, pupae and spores of fungi will also be destroyed.

  • To prevent foot and mouth disease in animals, get vaccinated and make arrangements for digestive and nutritious fodder according to the changing season.
