Farmers are advised to provide second irrigation in timely sown wheat crop, which is at tillering stage. Weather is likely to remain favorable for spread of fungi borne disease (blight) in potato. Spraying of Di-Ethane M-45@2.5gm/L of water in potato Bulb forming Potato crop is advised for control of blight. For better result mix sticker 1ml/L of stage water in fungicides solution. Spraying is advised along the direction of air on clear sky. Constant monitoring is advised for infestation of aphid in mustard crop. If insect population is above ETL than spraying of Rogar or Quinalphos @ 2.0 ml/liter of water is advised when sky remains clear. Mustard Flowering Regular monitoring is advised against infestation of white rust in mustard crop. If infestation is found high, than spraying of Chlorothalonil 75 WP @1 gram/ liter of water is advised in clear days. Farmers are advised to prepare seedling of early cucurbitaceous crops in Cucurbitaceous crop small polythene bags in poly houses. Spraying of 2 % urea is advised for proper growth of pods in pea crop. Regular monitoring is advised against infestation of powdery mildew Pea Flowering disease in pea crop. Farmers are advised to spray Karathane @ 1 ml per litre of water or Sulfex @ 3gm per litre of water, if infestation is found high. Regular monitoring is advised for infestation of pod borer in the gram crop. If infestation occurs, installation of Pheromone trap @ 3-4 traps per acre is Gram Flowering advised when 15-20 % flowering is observed. “T” shaped bird perches in and around crop field are to be installed for controlling insect population. Weeding is advised in early sown onion crops. Complete the Transplanting of Rabi onion Transplanting onion seedlings as earliest. Deep transplanting should be avoided. Generally, onion crop requires light and frequent irrigation at short intervals. (A. Sattar) (Nodal Officer)
