Part II: Agroclimatic Zonewise Agricultural/Agro-meteorological
Advisories
Eastern zone
Wheat
Apply need based irrigation to the crop. Observe the wheat fields for appearance of
yellow rust. As soon as the disease appears, spray the crop with Tilt @ 200ml in 200
litres of water per acre.
Barley
Spraying for aphid control to use the recommended chemical.
Sugarcane
Start sowing sugarcane and use recommended varieties. The sets selected for
planting should be free from diseases like red rot, wilt, ratoon-stunting and grassy
shoot. Disinfect cane sets in 0.5 per cent (500 g in 100 litres of water) Agallol 3 % or
0.25 per cent (250 g in 100 litres of water) solution of Emisan 6 %.
Animal
husbandry
Cracks/sore/chapped/injured teats should be treated with teat tips (Glycerin : Providine
Iodine 1:4). It should be used after every milking. Newly born calves need special care in
cold weather, since they are susceptible to pneumonia and a large number of them die of
this disease. Keep your animals under roof in night and in the sun during the day time. Do
not feed green, sprouted, soiled or rotton potatoes to dairy animals. Theses can cause
serious and fatal poisoning.
Provide proper temperature under the brooder i.e. 95 ºF every week up to 70 ºF.
Provide balanced feed and fresh water. Provide balanced ration to the birds according to
their requirements. Deworm the chicks regularly.
Keep watch for development of aphid on vegetables as temperature is increasing and apply
recommended spray. As no rain is expected, one can go for sowing of arbi and turmeric.
Vegetables &
Fruits
Oil Seeds
Pulses
Malathion 50EC @2.0-3.0g/lit of water may be
sprayed to control aphid.
Monitor the crop for the attack of insect pests. The problem of helicoverpa in gram, if any,
may be controlled with the help of recommended pesticides. Use sevin/hexasevin 50 WP in
lentil for the control of pod borer.
