Advisories
Eastern zone
Wheat
Give need based irrigation to the wheat crop. Don’t miss the irrigation at grain
filling stage which is going on during this period. If the population of aphid reaches
at ETL (5 aphids/earhead ), spray the crop with 12 g Dantop 50 WDG or 150 ml of
Rogor 30 EC or Metasystox 25 EC in 80-100 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 %.
Make sure that all the animals are vaccinated against FMD, if still not, then get
them vaccinated immediately, keep their record and repeat after six months.

Pulses
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.
Apply need based irrigation. In case mustard aphid population reached the
economic threshold level (ETL) spray the crop with 40 g Actara 25 WG in 125 litres
of water per acre. The spray must be carried out in the after-noon when the
pollinators are less active. To check Alternaria blight on raya pods spray the crop
with 250 g/acre of Blitox 50 WP dissolved in 100 litres of water.
Gram caterpillar feeds on leaves, flowers and pods of gram crop. To check them,
spray 1.0 litre of Thiodan 35 EC in 100 litres of water.
