Present weather conditions are suitable for the sowing of nursery of cabbage, tomato, brinjal,
chilli etc. in a raised nursery bed of about 6 inch with proper drainage system. Farmers are
advised for the seed treatment with Bavistin before sowing. Also, farmers are advised for
transplanting where nursery of these vegetables are ready .
Looking to the monsoon withdrawal situation, farmers are advised to store water in the rice
fields particularly in medium and long duration rice varieties.
Medium duration rice is in panicle emergence stage, so farmers are advised for the application
of last dose of nitrogenous fertilizer.
Rice crop is in panicle emergence stage, and attack of hoppers is more than 8-10 hoppers/plant
then therefore, farmers are advised for the spray of Ethiemidachlorprid @ 60 ml/acre of water
for the control of plant hoppers.
Looking to the present weather condition infestation of different insect pests like stem borer is
common. Looking to this farmers are advised to keep watch on the crop and if the infestation is
above ETL, use insecticides like Carbofuran @33 kg/ha. or Fartera 10 kg/ha.
Leaf curling in Chillies is being observed for its control, Methyl Dematon or Karathone should
be sprayed @1mper litre of water.
