AGROMET ADVISORY SERVICES BULLETIN FOR LEH
Vegetable
- Farmers are advised to harvest Chinese cabbage,
Palak, Pakchoi and Lettuce from
protected structures.
-
Keep the trenches covered with UV film to avoid loss due to sudden temperature dip
(<-130 C). An additional layer of black polythene from sunset to sun rise will be
beneficial.
-
Proper irrigation should be applied at 15-20 days intervals in green houses.
-
Direct seed sowing of turnip, coriander and radish should be done in Green Houses.
Animal
Husbandry
-
Keep the animals inside the shed during night to protect the animals from severe
cold, it will influence milk production.
-
Additional concentrate feed must be given during these days such as wheat bran,
barley.
-
Milking should be done under the shed so as to protect from froze bite.
Fruit
Science
-
Remove fallen leaves and go for bark scrapping to reduce pest load.
-
Do not go for pruning or training till mid February.
.
More care is needed for young ones during night hours by giving enough feeding
material inside the shed.
