Agromet Advisory for
Cuttack Districts
Do’s
· Drain out excess water from the
non paddy crop field and vegetables.
· Go for immediate harvesting of
the summer rice and bring the harvested paddy to a safer place.
· Go for harvesting of matured non
paddy crops like groundnut and pulses.
· Cover the freshly prapered
vegetable nursery with polythene or with straw to avoid high temperature.
· Complete sowing of jute for
better utilization of rain.
· Go for sowing of maize.
· Go for summer ploughing at
places receiving soaking rainfall to reduce weed infestation, to destroy eggs
and larvae of hibernated soil insects and to increase soil profile recharge.
· The weather and time is optimum
for sowing of green manuring crops like Sesbania and sunhemp in the areas receiving
convectional rain. Green manruring crops are sown in medium and low land
condition at 6-8 weeks before planting. Use 10 kg seeds per acre. Otherwise 6
kg/acre in case of mixed planting with paddy. Sowing time should be adjusted
in such a way that the crop will attain 5-week stage just at 7 days before
transplanting. Apply all the recommended dose of phosphorous of rice (100 kg
of SSP) to the field during sowing time.
· Don’t: Don’t leave the harvested paddy
in the field itself.

· Climate in Orissa is favourable
for commercial cultivation of fruit crops, such as mango, coconut, citrus,
guava, sapota, papaya, banana, litchi and pineapple in uplands, even
in marginal lands. For planting of fruit crops in July and August go for digging
of pits before onset of monsoon to effect solarisation of soils removed from
the pits for killing the hibernated insects and their eggs For mango citrus,
coconut, guava, Jackfruit and litchi, make the pits of size of 1x1x1 metre;
for banana and papaya size 0.5x0.5 m and for pineapple make trenches of 30 cm
wide and 15 cm deep of any convenient length. Pits should be dug out at a
spacing which differs with the crops as follows. Mango and jack fruit- 10X10
m, Coconut, cashew nut and Litchi -
8X8m, Guava- 6X6 m, Banana-2.4X2.4 m , Papaya- 3X3 m, Pine apple- 0.6X0.3 m
· The pulse crop is at maturity
stage. Go for Picking of pods instead of cutting plants. Dry them under sun
for 2 to 3 days.
· January sown groundnut crop is
at maturity stage. Go for harvesting after giving irrigation depending upon
the soil moisture content
· Root rot of pointed gourd. Spray
10 g Plantomycine along with 20 g Blitox 50 in 10 litre watere. Thrips in
Chilli has been found. Spray 300 ml Ethion or 400 ml Carbosulphan or
Chloropyriphos
· Intercropping system should be
practised in rainfed uplands in stead of sole rice. Crops like greengram,
blackgram, arhar, ragi, maize can be grown as intercrop with rice.
· Harvest the matured Watermelon.
· Onion & Garlic should be
harvested as soon as possible.
· Papaya should be planted in this
period.
· Matured Fruits like Mango,
Litchi, Jackfruit, Pineapple, Pomegranate, Lemon, etc. should be harvested.
· Flowers like Marigold, Jasmine,
Hibiscus, Periwinkle, and Tuberose should be plucked daily.
· FISHERY : Fish farmers, in case have
stocked fingerlings in the pond for fish culture, they should monitor the
quality and level of water, so also temperature. In case of water temperature
goes above 30 0 C or water level goes below I m. depth, farmers are advised
to go for early harvest and discontinue fish seed production and culture
activity. Fish breeding and culture activity is discouraged.
· GREENS -The weather is optimum for
sowing of green (Khada). Go for land preparation. Lay out small beds of 5 ft.
long, 4 ft. wide with bunds all around.. Remove the weeds and stubbles. Apply
2 baskets of FYM. 4- 6 kg seeds are required per acre. Because of small size seeds,
mix the seeds with coarse sands for easy sowing. Cover the seeds with soil by
hands followed by straw. Irrigate the beds and remove the straw after
emergence. After 12 – 15 days the seedlings are ready for transplanting in
the main field. The seedlings are transplanted at a spacing of 75x 30cm.

· Go for sowing of maize for green
cob purpose under irrigated condition Grow high yielding varieties like
Navjot, Shakti, Decan-107, Decan- 109, may be collected Govt. Sales Centre
available at Block level Use 6 kg seeds/acre . Apply one third of N and all P
& K of the recommended dose of 50:24:24 kg NPK/acre. Sow the seeds in
lines with spacing of 45-60X20 cm at 5 cm soil depth.
Follow
the following measures for rainfed up medium land areas of the state
· Select efficient crops and
cropping systems matching the length of the growing season. Some of the
promising crops for rainfed uplands are maize, cowpea, arhar, blackgram,
ragi, groundnut, sesame, ricebean, castor, pumpkin and sweet potato.
· Choose short duration varieties,
which possess faster rate of growth, deep and penetrating root system and
ability to escape drought.
· Store rain water to use as life
saving irrigation
· Perform off-season ploughing to
conserve moisture, reduce pest and weed problem and to facilitate early
sowing.
· Use soil amendments in acid
soils. Acid soils promote more grassy weeds. Use of soil amendments like lime
or paper mill sludge reduces grass population.
· Adopt
intercropping/mixed-cropping system in recurrent drought prone areas.
Intercropping system should be practised in rainfed uplands in

COCONUT : Mite attack in coconut
resulting early fruit drop, small and unusual shape of coconut, fibre not
fully developed and attached firmly to the coconut shell causing difficulty
in removing fibre from shell. Apply sufficient quantity of organic manure
along with chemical fertilizer. Clean the coconut plants by cutting the dried
leaves . Keep the field clean Use Neemajal. Spray 2 litre Neemajal solution
per plant @ 4 ml in 1 litre water. Other wise apply Neemajal solution in the
rhyzosphere of the coconut plant. For this keep the Neemajal solution
prepared out of 7.5 ml Neemajal with 7.5 ml clean water in a polythine with
deep the soil root of coconut after a slant cutting.
