AGROADVISORY

Due to forecast of light rain in the coming week, the farmers are advised to shift their agriculture produce in the safe place. Harvest the matured crops and shift to safe place immediately. According to the Extended Range Forecasting System, the rainfall for the month of June will be above normal, so the farmers are advised to take quick steps for kharif crop cultivation. Deep ploughing of field after harvest of rabi crops is advised so that the eggs and pupating stages of insects and weed seeds get exposed to sun and gets destroyed. The store house should be cleaned and crevices and cracks should be repaired and whitewashed for proper storage of grain. Deep Ploughing: After harvest of rabi crops, deep ploughing by mould board plough is advised which helps in good soil inversion which exposes the eggs and pupa of insects to the scorching sun also helps in soil solarization. The green manure crop like dhanicha is sown after the harvest of rabi crops.

RICE: Drain out excess water if present in the field. The dry seeding of rice has been hampered due to onset of monsoon. Grow extra early rice varieties like Heera, Kalinga – 3 in uplands, otherwise in case of non-availability of above varieties Khandagiri, Pathara and Parijat may be grown. Don’t go for the varieties of more than 3 months duration to avoid early withdrawal of monsoon.

TRANSPLANTED RICE: In dry nurseries drain out excess water. As the rain has been reduced, the weed problems is going to be severe. At 10 days of germination of seeds, apply Pyrazosulfuron ethyl@20 g a.i. /ha (Sathi 10%WP) to control weeds effectively. After cessation of rain, wet nursery should be taken up. For wet nursery, land should be puddled and properly leveled. Sprouted seeds should be sown @ 25 Kg/acre.

Wait for sowing of non-paddy crops in the upland till no rainfall.

MAIZE: The weather is optimum or 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.

ARHAR : Now the weather is optimum for sowing of arhar. Grow High Yielding varieties suitable for Orissa climate

such as Early-duration- Prabhat, Upas-120, ICPL-86012, Medium duration- Asha, Visakha, Use 8-10 kg/acre Before

sowing seeds are to be treated with 2 g Bavistin/kg seeds. Treat the seeds with the Rhizobium culture @ 200 g culture/8-10 kg. Apply 8:16 kg NP/acre during final land preparation under rainfed condition and apply 50% more to irrigated crop. Sow the seeds in line 45-60 cm apart depending upon the duration with 15 –20 cm plant to plant distance

GROUNDNUT: The weather is optimum for for sowing of groundnut Grow High yielding varieties Ak-12-24 for direct

eating as nuts and Smruti for oil. Use 40 kg shelled kernel/acre (60 kg unshelled nuts). Before sowing seeds are to be

treated with 2 g Bavistin/kg Treat the seeds with the Rhizobium culture @ 600 g culture/acre 7 days after fungicidal

treatment. Apply 8:16:16 kg NPK/acre during final land preparation as basal. Phosphorous should be applied in form of SSP other wise apply 75-100 kg Gypsum/acre along with the basal. Sow the seeds in line 30 cm apart with 10 cm plant to plant distance

RAGI : The weather is optimum for ragi sowing. Grow high yielding varieties like Divyasingh, AKP-2, AKP-3, AKP-

7, Godavari, Neelachal, Bhairavi, Shubhra, and Chilika. Use 2 to 2.5 kg seeds /acre for transplanting. Before sowing treat the seeds with 3 g Thiram or 1 g Trycychlozole per kg. Seeds. Apply 10 g each of Nitrogen and Phophorous per sq. metre of nursery bed and mix it thoroughly. Sow the seeds uniformly over the beds and cover the seeds thinly with powdered soil.

FODDER CULTIVATION: Grow cow pea and rice bean by this week as fodder crop. Use 20 kg. of seeds for either

crop. Sow the seeds in lines (behind the plough) Before sowing seeds are to be treated with 2 g Bavistin/kg seeds. Treat the seeds with the Rhizobium culture and PSM culture @ 20/ kg seeds

VEGETABLES: Drain out excess water from the vegetable fields to prevent damping off disease. One can grow vegetables in uplands like Lady’s finger, Cowpea, Cluster bean, Brinjal, Tomato and chillies.

FRUIT CROPS: Climate of the district is favourable for commercial cultivation of fruit crops, For planting of fruit crops

in July and August, go for digging of pits to effect solarisation of pits. For mango citrus,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 as

follows. Mango and jack fruit- 10X10 m, Guava- 6X6 m, Banana-2.4X2.4 m ,Papaya- 3X3 m.

Mango- Banganpalli, Totapuri, Subarnnarekha, Nilam, Langrah, Dasheri, Amrapalli,

Banana- Kabuli, Robusta, Patakapura, Champa, Gaja bantala, Batisha bantala,

Guava- Allahabad Safed, Lucknow –49,Banarasi Seedless

Papaya- Kurg honeydew, Coimbatore-1& 2, Pusa Delicious, Pusa Majesty

Jackfruit- Kadua, Khajra and Singapore.

Mango- 1 year grafted plant ,

Banana- Healthy suckers of 300 to 400 g weight and Tissue culture plant,

Guava- Healthy grafted and layered plants,

Papaya- Seedlings

STORAGE OF EXCESS WATER: Construction of Field storage tanks for life saving irrigation and light rain. A technology for storing excess rainwater in refuges in medium/low land has been standardized by devoting 10% of the cultivable area. In the first step, the field bund is strengthened by raising the dyke height to 45 cm with provision of weir at 20 cm height for spilling over excess water to runoff collection tank (refuge). The refuge is constructed at the lower reach of the plot with top width 3.0 m, bottom width 2.0 m and depth 1.8 m. The length of the refuge is equal to the width of the plot.

Agromet advisory

General Advisory:

· In direct seeded rice and early sown rice nurseries, due to erratic rain weed infestation is now a major problem. To control the weeds at two to three leaf stage, spray Bispyribac sodium@20g a.i. ha^-1 in 500 litres of water.

· As moderate rain is expected, go for wet rice nursery in medium lands where irrigation facility is available.

*Kharif transplanted* *rice*	v Go for staggered community nursery to cope with erratic rainfall. FOR WET NURSERY v For preparation of wet nursery bed, puddle the land thoroughly; apply 8-10q FYM, 12kg SSP and 2kg MOP in 10 cent nursery area during final land preparation. v Beds of 1.25-1.5m width, 10 cm height and convenient length should be prepared. A drain of 30 cm width should be kept between 2 beds. v To remove chaffy seeds, put the seeds in saline water prepared with 165g salt per litre of water, then wash it thoroughly and soak in water for 24 hours. Remove the seeds and keep on the floor by covering with wet gunny bags. v Sow the sprouted seeds in line drawn 5cm apart in the nursery bed @ 20Kg/acre. v Sprouted seeds can be also broadcasted @40-60g/m². v Drain out excess water from the nursery beds if there is heavy rain.
Jute	· Apply 1/3 rd N (32kg Urea) after 1^st weeding and thinning.
Sugarcane	· Wrapping and propping should be done when the crop becomes 4-5 months old in medium and late duration varieties.
Coconut	Ø As rain is expected with the onset of monsoon, it is the right time for weeding and cleaning of the base of plants now. Apply 1 kg Urea, 2 kg SSP and 2 kg MOP alongwith 5 kg Neem cake per plant by making a ring around the plant.
Vegetables	Ø As rain is expected, postpone spraying and irrigation
Pisciculture	After complete eradication of aquatic weeds, weed fishes and cat fishes from the pond, apply 100 kg of lime in the pond water
