Fertilizer Management at the time of Sowing in Maize Crop

20/06/2020Posted on
Fertilizer Management at the time of Sowing in Maize Crop
  • Among the main food crops in the world, maize is the third main crop after wheat and paddy.
  • The main reason is its productivity – because its production capacity is 25-100 percent more than wheat and paddy. and 15-30 June Kharif season is the most suitable time for sowing.
  • For maximum benefits, soil testing is necessary before sowing. Before sowing, well-decomposed cow dung manure/fym should be mixed at the rate of 4–6 tonnes per acre broadcast in the field.
  • Adequate quantity of fertilizer and fertilizer should be given at the appropriate time to obtain maximum yield by hybrid and conglomerate varieties of maize.
  • Urea @ 25 kg / acre, DAP @ 50 kg / acre and MOP @ 40 kg / acre at the time of sowing, broadcasting in the field.
  •  Along with this, the farmer can also use the Maize Samriddhi Kit. The total quantity of this kit is 2.7 kg/acre. In this kit, you will get everything that is needed for the maize crop. This kit has many products attached.
  • The Maize Samriddhi Kit consists of four types of bacteria ‘nitrogen fixation bacteria, PSB, and KMB.zinc bacteria solubilize Insoluble zinc and makes it available to plants. It is one of the most important micronutrients for plant growth.
  • Maize Samriddhi Kit kills pathogens that occur in soil and seeds, helps in the growth of flowers, fruits, leaves, etc. as well as helps in the growth of white roots.

Seed Treatment in Maize

15/06/2020Posted on
  • Seed treatment in Maize crops helps in controlling the fungal and bacterial diseases spread by fungus and bacteria.
  • At the time of germination of seeds, after germination, this protects against seeds soil-borne and seed-borne fungus diseases and pests.
  • The growth and maturity of the entire crop are the same.
  • Biological treatment: –
  • PSB bacteria + Trichoderma viride @  2gram / kg seed + 5gram / kg seed
  • chemical treatment:-
  • Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP @ 2.5gram / kg seed
  • Carboxin 37.5% + Thiram 37.5% WP @ 2.5 gram / kg seed or
  • Imidacloprid 48% FS @ 5 ml / kg seed or
  • Cyantraniliprole 19.8% + Thiamethoxam 19.8% FS @ 6 ml / kg seed
  • Seed treatment is also very important for the control of fall armyworm in maize.
  • For seed treatment, first, select the seeds for sowing and treat the required quantity of seeds and sow the seeds immediately after treatment. Do not store the seed.

Irrigation Schedule in Maize

03/01/2020Posted on
  • Maize cultivated during the monsoon, winter and spring season.
  • Spring and winter season is almost fully irrigated.
  • For winter and spring maize first irritation should be applied at 3-4 weeks after germination.
  • Subsequent irrigation at 4-5 week interval up to mid-March.
  • Therefore at 1-2 weeks interval depending on rainfall and temperature.
  • For different water availability scenario, the irrigation scheduling can be as follow-
  • If five irrigations available apply at 1.) Six leaf stage, 2.) Late knee-high stage, 3.) Tasseling stage, 4.) 50% silking stage and 6.) Dough stage.
  • If three irrigations available apply at 1.) Early knee-high stage, 2.) Tessling stage and 3.) 50% silking stage.

Fall army worm :- Nature of Damage and Control measures

12/07/2019Posted on

Damage:-

The first time the outbreak of this pest in India was seen in the state of Karnataka in July 2018 After this, it has also spread in other states. This pest which is damaging the maize crop remains alive for more time than other insects. The moths of this insect can fly up to 100 km in the same night with the blow of air, a female gives its eggs in the life of 1 to 2 thousand. The reason for the loss is not only their population but also by their feeding habits. These insects attack the crops in the cluster. Because of this, they destroy the entire crop in a short time. This Polyphagous insect damage about 80 types of crops but it’s preferred host in maize.

  • Fall armyworm generally feeds on foliage, but during heavy infestations, larvae will also feed on corn ears. 
  • Foliar damage to corn is usually characterized by ragged feeding and moist sawdust-like frass near the whorl and upper leaves of the plant.
  • They will frequently be near the tip but may feed down the ear creating a track of damaged kernels.

Control:-

  • Set up of light traps.
  • Set up pheromone traps at 5 per acre.
  • Biveria Bissiana @ 1kg/acre.
  • Apply any one of the following on presence of pest.
    • Thiodicarb 75% WP @ 400g/acre.
    • Flubendiamide 480 SC @ 60ml/acre.
    • Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC @ 60 ml/acre.
    • Spinosad 45% SC @ 80 ml/acre.

How much and when apply fertilizer in corn:

10/07/2019Posted on
  • Add well-composted FYM @ 10 tons/acre at the last ploughing.
  • If soil test recommendations are not available, Apply UREA 20 kg, DAP 70 kg and MOP 35 kg per acre at sowing.
  • Basal application in the crop can vary on soil, variety and other factors.
  • In maize crop, total urea is required 75-90 kg/acre. This urea quantity should be distributed as following timing.
Sr. No.        Crop stage        Nitrogen rate (%)
1 Basal (at sowing)         20
2 V4 (four-leaf stage) 25
3 V8 (eight-leaf stage) 30
4 VT (tasseling stage) 20
5 GF (grain filling stage) 5
