Transplant paddy only in that much area which can mature with available
irrigation resources.
The remaining nursery seedlings should be kept in the field for further
transplanting till the rains start, but the age of the seedlings should not be more
than 60 days for mid duration varieties (HKR-127, PR114, PR116, PR 118).
Maintaining optimum plant population by way of planting 2-3 seedlings per hill
to maintain 30-35 plants per square metre.
Instead of flooding paddy field, keep the soil only wet to avoid cracking of soil.
Keep the field weed free.
Seedlings should be transplanted erect and not more than 2-3 cm deep.
Increase area under basmati/short duration varieties or planting of 55-60 days
old seedlings, if possible, for mid duration high yielding varieties at closer


Appearance of pseudo-fruiting due to drought invites insect-pest attack
particularly spotted boll worm in non-Bt and desi cotton, which must be
controlled if population reaches to threshold value (i.e. 5%
flowers/squares damaged). Populations of thrips may be flared up and
damage by termite may also increase in light soils.

It is expected that the population of jassid, white fly, American boll worm
is likely to be less. Avoid unnecessary use of pesticides especially
synthetic pyrethroids.

Bajra sowing can be done latest by 1st week of August using hybrid
HHB-67 improved.
Transplant 3-4 weeks old nursery raised seedlings on rainy day.
Balance & adequate use of fertilizers should be used.
Give light irrigation in timely sown crop if irrigation facilities are
available.
Follow inter-culture operations to control weeds and conserve soil
moisture.
Thinning & gap filling should be done in the timely sown crop.

After four weeks of sowing, survival of crop is minimal

Apply light irrigation at critical stages (tillering/flowering/grain
formation) of the crop.

In case of crop failure, re-sowing should be done with early maturing
hybrids but not beyond 1st week of August.

To save the crop, follow inter-culture operations at 3 weeks after sowing.

-Remove every third row of bajra for green fodder and make ridge and
furrow for rain water harvesting under rainfed situation.

In case of prolonged drought, skip top dressing of N. Foliar spray of 2%

Monsoon situation
Contingent measures suggested
A
Normal Monsoon
All the recommended varieties of crops with normal package of practices.
B
i. Delayed onset of Monsoon
(a) 2 weeks delay
All the recommended varieties of crops with normal package of practices. HG 365,
HG 563, HG-870 and HG2-20 varieties of Clusterbean; HC46 (grain) and CS-88
(fodder) varieties of cowpea, MH 421 of Mungbean and UH1 of urdbean may be sown
upto 15th July.
(b) 3-5 weeks delay 
Sowing of Clusterbean (HG 563, HG2-20) Cowpea (CS 88), Mungbean (MH 421)
may be ensured by the end of July and that of pulses by 1st week of August except
pigeonpea using recommended varieties.

In situation where farmer does not wish to keep the field fallow, the order of
priority of crop is moong (MH421) and cowpea, CS 88 for fodder.

In delayed sowing of crops, seed rate may be increased by 20%.

Apply recommended dose of fertilizers.
(c) 6-7 weeks delay 
As far as possible, clusterbean sowing should be avoided and conserve the
moisture for rabi sowing. However, some area may be used for cowpea, var. CS88
for fodder and toria crop may be planted by the end of August and September.

Soil application of chlorpyriphos may be required to check termite damage.
Contd…….
20
II. Long dry spell after sowing
(a) 2-3 weeks

Adopt mechanical weeding/hoeing by kasola or wheel hand
hoe to keep the clusterbean crop (HG365) weed free and to
create soil mulch for moisture conservation.

Control whitefly in moong/urdbean crop by recommended
spray.
(b) 4-6 weeks

Thinning should be ensured to obtain optimum plant stand.

Apply light irrigation, if available.

Repeat hoeing with kasola/wheel hand hoe to keep the
