Agro-advisories
 Maximum sowing of the rabi crops has been completed by now, if sowing is not
completed the farmers are advised to complete the wheat sowing under irrigated
condition.
 If the vegetable sowing has been completed, farmers are advised to follow the drip
system for irrigation purpose. Farmers can collect the evaporation data from this
department and utilize this data for irrigation management.
 If the sowing of wheat crop has taken 15-20 days earlier and it has reached CRI
stage, then farmers are advised for irrigation at Crown Root Initiation stage.
 Under late sown condition of wheat, farmers are advised to increase the seed rate by
20-25 Kg. Per ha. over and above recommended dose.
 Looking to the past cloudy weather condition the incidence of aphids in mustard,
raddish and beans is likely to increase, so farmers are advised to keep keen watch on
the crop and if the infestation is above ETL spray Carbaryl@ 2 kg/ha.
 At present the pigeon pea is at pod formation stage and due to the partial cloudy
weather during the last few days the infestation of pod borer may occur. Farmers are
advised to keep keen watch on the crop and if the infestation is above ETL, spray
Polytrin C @ 1 l/ha or Endoxacarb @ 300 ml/ha.
