Rust disease control in Wheat

Rust disease on plants is one of the common fungal diseases on wheat crop. Usually the rust disease is more prominent on cold, wet humid climates.

The rust disease appears in yellow, orange, red, rust, brown, or black coloured powdery pustules on leaves, young shoots, and panicles.

Plant growth, development and productivity are largely reduced. Plants wither and die back at severe infections.

Following sprays may be administered to manage the wheat rust disease

Kavach 2 gm /L + Spot 10 gm/L + Econeem plus 1 % - 1 mL/L

Second after 10 days of the above spray

Zerox 0.5 mL/L + Bactosan 2 gm/L + Econeem plus 1 % - 1 mL/L

Brinjal fruit and shoot borer – Efficient control management

Brinjal Fruit and Shoot Borer (Leucinodes orbonalis) is very important pest of brinjal crop.

This pest infests shoot as well as fruits. Brinjal fruit and shoot borer makes holes in shoots as well as in fruits.                  

The aesthetic value of the fruits are reduced because the fruits will be with holes.

 

Chemical sprays include  at weekly intervals

Marshal 2 mL/L + Econeem plus 1 % - 1 mL/L

Jashn 2 mL/L + Ecotin 0.5 mL/L

Coragen 10 mL/ 30 L of water + Neemark 1 % - 1 mL/L

 

Water-trough pheromone traps may be used to mass trap male adult of Brinjal shoot and fruit borer with Leucinodes lures.

These pheromones traps trap the adult male moths (and not female ones) which reduces the fertilizing the eggs of female moths consequently reduce the carryover of pest.

25 – 30 traps per acre may be installed for efficient management of brinjal fruit and shoot borer.

Protect Garden Pea and Chickpea crops from powdery mildew disease

 

Powdery mildew is fungal disease characterized by white, cottony patches (colonies) of mycelium and conidia (asexual spores) on the surface of the plant on both sides of the leaves.

• Powdery mildew disease is more prominent in regions with high nitrogen fertilization.
• Cool, moist weather conditions with high relative humidity more than 97% enhance germination of powdery mildew infection. 15^oC to 22^oC is the best range of temperatures for development of powdery mildew.
• Most of the pulse crops and vegetable crops are affected by powdery mildews like Peas, Green gram, Black gram, Chick pea, tomato, Chilies, Capsicum, beans, carrot, cucumber, eggplant, lettuce, melons, ..Etc.

Symptom of the disease

• White powdery fungal growth on leaves, stalks of panicles, flowers and young fruits.
• Flowers, fruit parts, pods drop prematurely with poor fruit set.
• Leaves infected with powdery mildew may gradually turn completely yellow, die, and fall off.
• Sometimes powdery mildew may cause the leaves to twist, buckle and distort.
• Crops infected with powdery mildew will yield less with shortened production times and poorer quality.

 Foillowing sprays may be administered to manage Powdery mildew on Pea crop and chickpea and other crops

Transform poor quality irrigation water to high quality irrigation water

 

Irrigation water quality is the most critical factor for production of any crops. Water quality is determined by most important factors like alkalinity, pH and soluble salts. Several other factors also need to be considered like hard water salts such as calcium and magnesium or heavy metals that can clog irrigation systems and presence of toxic ions.

 

• Poor quality water may be responsible for slow growth, poor aesthetic quality of the crop and, in some cases, can even result in the gradual death of the plants.
• High soluble salts can directly injure roots, interfering with water and nutrient uptake.
• Salts can accumulate in plant leaf margins, causing burning of the edges.
• Water with high alkalinity can adversely affect the pH of the growing medium, interfering with nutrient uptake and causing nutrient deficiencies which reduce plant health.

 Solution to improve irrigation water quality

• Water structuring technology may be adapted in agriculture to overcome the poor quality irrigation water, and improve the quality of water used at various stages of agricultural enterprises.

 

https://www.bighaat.com/products/upvc-irrigation-water-structuring-unit

  

• Crystal blue water structuring units can be fitted to the water sources to structure the poor quality agricultural water to fine good quality water. The crops grown after the structured water use, the farmers have harvested upto 10 fold higher yield.

Bacterial canker disease is the foliar infection by bacteria Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. Michiganensis. High moisture conditions in the plant canopy due to rain, fog, dew. The congenial temperature for the bacteria to infect and multiply is 24°C- 32°C.

Bacteria may infect leaves, stems, flowers and fruit with following symptoms

• Distinctive black leaf edges may be found on the infected leaves.
• At severe infections a thin yellow border is present between the dead leaf margins and healthy tissue of the leaves.

 

• Light brown coloured streaks may be visible on the outside of the stem which later these may turn black dark colour and break open into cankers.
• When stem are squeezed Yellow ooze may exude from a cut stem.
• On fruits small spots with light brown centres, surrounded by a greasy white halo 3-6 mm in diameter may be visible popularly known as bird's-eye spots.
• Bacterial canker disease may also cause a darkening of the vascular tissues inside the fruit.

MANAGEMENT OF THRIPS IN CAPSICUM CROPS

 

Sap sucking insects like thrips, aphids and whiteflies are common insects infest capsicum plants. Among these pests thrips infestation is more prominent and tough to manage. Leaf curling upward is the most common symptoms of thrips damage, where the leaves turn pale green due to loss of green pigment after sucking by thrips.

Thrips are slightly yellow coloured small sized (1–2 mm long) sucking pests and very mobile. Both the adult and nymph stages of thrips suck sap from the leaves, stems and fruits. The damaged young apical leaves curl upwards. The thrips infested stems and fruits become hard. Reports also say that some of viral diseases are also spread through the thrips.

Improve quality, nutrition and taste of fruits

Fruits are consumed for the flavor, taste and nutritional disorders. Inherent fruit quality parameters, such as sugar and acid content, ripening and storability, and external fruit quality parameters, such as color, form, stage of growth and firmness, are dependent on nutrients supplied to the crops like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, Boron and magnesium.

 

• Spraying of potassium and boron nutrients at fruit development and maturation stage improves the marketable quality of fruits’ by increasing firmness and sugar content, and fruit nutritional quality by increasing ascorbic acid, beta-carotene and potassium levels.
• Nitrogen is also required for the increase in fruit size.
• Fruits with a high level of calcium have lower respiration rates have longer storage life than fruits with low levels of calcium.

Two sprays at 7 days interval may be administered at the fruit development stage which helps in increase of size in fruits and yield nutritionally flavored high taste fruits.

Management of Blossom End Rot Disease of Fruits of Vegetable and Fruit crops

 The Blossom End rot Disease is a physiological problem occurs in highly succulent fruits of vegetable and fruit crops.

Disorder or Disease conditions

• The occurrence depends on various environmental conditions; especially those affect the supply of water and calcium in the developing fruits.
• Initially a small, water-soaked spot appears which enlarges and darkens rapidly as the fruits develop.
• The spot enlarges until it covers up to one third to one-half of the entire fruit surface from distal ends of the fruits or even inflorescence.
• Later the lesions soon dry out and become flattened, black, and leathery in appearance and texture.
• This disease does not spread from plant to plant in the field, or from fruit to fruit.

Controlling Measures

Blossom end rot can be managed by maintaining adequate supplies of moisture and calcium to the developing fruits. Soil applications as basal dose, Fertigation at developing stages and more frequent foliar applications with calcium containing products may control the Blossom End Rot disease.

Soil application with Soil grade Calcium Nitrate.

10 kg as basal application and 15 kg per acre at the 40 days after transplanting

5 kg Fertigation at 35 days after transplanting and after that every 20 days once

 Spray with Foliar grade Calcium Nitrate 2 3- 4 gm/L every 15 days 20 days after transplanting

Fast decomposition of Farm wastes to high nutritive Compost

The compost as a soil conditioner regulates the soil pH by maintaining the soil micro organisms’ health. Compost also provides vital nutrients to plant roots, adds vital humus or humic acids to the soil. Compost improves the water and nutrient holding capacity of the soil, by increasing the soil porosity and bulk density.

Compost quality should be good to get more benefits to the crops when applied to the soil. Usually organic matter and other waste solid materials are metabolized by microorganisms in presence of moisture and temperature. Natural decomposing at pits or heaps, the time taken to decompose is more than two three months for complete composting.

Composting speed can be increased by treating the waste materials with waste decomposer. The time taken to decompose is decreased by half the time. Use waste decomposer to make composting fast and increase the nutritive value of compost.

Manage Late blight Disease of Tomato

Late blight disease is more severe at moist cooler season. This disease is caused by the fungus Phytophthora infestans. The symptoms are irregular shaped water-soaked lesions are found on young leaves at the top part of the plant. Lesions become brown and pathogen sporulation can be seen under humid cold conditions. The leaves shrivel, become necrotic and die eventually.  Lesions can occur on stems and leaf pedicels which will be brown. The fungus can also infect fruit causing circular greasy lesions. Tomato fruit remain firm but spots eventually become leathery and chocolate brown and can enlarge to cover the entire fruit.

The disease can be controlled chemically and also using bio control agents. Bio control agents need to be precautionary.

Management of Yellow Stem borer in Paddy

The larvae of stem borer bore at the base of the plants during the vegetative stage. The yellow stem borer pest infestation is more prominent in deepwater rice with continuous flooding.

• Dead tillers or Dead hearts that can be easily pulled from the base during the vegetative stages
• Whiteheads during reproductive stage making emerging panicles whitish and unfilled or empty.
• Tiny holes are seen on the stems and tillers
• The damaged stems will be filled with Frass or fecal matters

Dead hearts and whiteheads symptoms are also confused with damages caused by rats, neck blast, and black bug diseases. For clear confirmation one should check for infestations at different stages. Stems or tillers may be pulled out and cut open for larvae and pupae to confirm stem borer damage.

Manage Papaya Ring Spot  and Leaf curl Viral Diseases

Papaya Ring Spot viral infections common virus disease for Papaya. The affected plants become stunted in growth, show yellow mottling and distortion of leaves. Leaf petioles bend down and tendril like structures are formed from the leaves. All these development ultimately lead to the death of the plant. Diseased plants yield little or no crop. Several species of aphids act as vector in transmitting the disease.

Papaya leaf curl virus is also one of the viral diseases observed on leaves of papaya plant. The leaves are severely affected and show symptoms of curling, crinkling and distortion of leaves accompanied by vein clearing and reduction in leaf size. The affected plants either do not flower or bear a few fruits only. The disease is transmitted through grafting and by white fly.

 

The viral infected crops must be sprayed [4 times in weekly intervals along with other plant protection products] Following spray may be administered to manage viral infections in papaya crop.

Management of Paddy leaf folder

The early stage of paddy crop is infested by common insects such as the leaf folder, whorl maggot and armyworms.

Leaf folder caterpillars live inside the leaf folds and feed inside the folded leaf creating longitudinal white and transparent streaks. Larvae fold the leaf around themselves and attach the leaf margins together with silk strands. Paddy leaf folders occur more abundant during the rainy seasons in all paddy environments. They are more common in shady areas and areas where fields are fertilized heavily. The incidence of paddy leaf folder insects is year round in tropical climates and in temperate climates the infestation is restricted to May to October.

Usual symptoms:

• Whitish streaks which are longitudinal  and transparent on infested leaves
• Leaves are folded tube like.
• Scorching in patches with many folded leaves when infested heavily with paddy leaf folders.

MANAGE ARMY WORMS IN MAIZE

Army worm incidence has been reported on maize crop in Indian states. Armyworms usually feed at night and damage corn by chewing leaves. They prefer to feed on the succulent leaves in the whorl first. Feeding is usually confined to leaf margins, but occasionally they may strip the entire plant leaving only the midrib of the leaves.

During the day, armyworms are found in the soil or underneath ground cover. Ragged leaf feeding in the spring and early summer is evidence of armyworm feeding. Corn/Maize can usually recover from light to moderate feeding by armyworm without significant yield loss. However, severe damage, particularly if the growing bud is injured, can cause significant loss in yield.

Following chemicals may be used to kill the pest. Spraying in the evening will be effective since they come out to feed in the night times.

Coragen 0.33 mL/L OR Rilon 0.5 gm/L + Neemark 1 % 1 mL/L

 OR 

The army worm will be dwelling in the soil and will be coming out to feed the baiting technique may be an effective method to kill them. As the bait has attractant jaggery the larvae gets attracted to jaggery, feed on the bait mixture and will be killed avoiding them to feed on the corn. Bait mixture must be evenly broadcasted evenly all over the maize plot.

The process of baiting can be a mixture of 3 components,

1. Poison (Insecticide): 2. Carrier or base (Rice bran), and Attractant (Jaggery) at ratio of 1:10:1. Mix all the items with given ratio to prepare the bait mixture.

The poison may a stomach poison insecticide can be used like Malathion or Phoskill

INCREASE EFFICIENCY OF THE INSECTICIDAL SPRAY

Insecticides are applied to manage many insect pests on the plants and plant parts. Insecticides are mixed or dissolved in water and then sprayed on the plants. The pH of the spray solution mixed with insecticides is also an important factor for the best insect pest control.

Recent insect control with same molecules at same places with different spray water sources has yielded different results. If the pH of the spray solution is more than 7.6 many and most of the insecticides won’t perform.

Simple technique of adding any acidic materials which won’t create any adverse effects to plants can be added to the spray solution to decrease the spray solution pH. Adding juice of 2 ripened lemons will help reduce the pH of the spray solution for some extent. Farmers have tried and got results.

EDTA form of nutrients, when mixed with other plant protection insecticides may also reduce the pH of the spray mix. This addition not only reduces the pH of the spray tank mix but also supplies the plant essential nutrients.
