Agromet Advisory

Agromet Advisory: Some parts of Sundergarh have received deficit rainfall upto last week. The following cultural practices for kharif crops are suggested as contingent measures to manage the adverse agriculture situation.Complete hoeing and weeding in non-paddy crop field to provide dust mulch. Weeding groundnut 45 DAS disturbs the pegging process. So prune the weeds with sickle. Apply post emergence spray of Quizalfop ethyl 5% EC @ 0.05kg/ha in 500 L water to control grassy weeds in groundnut/jute. Spray 2% KCl + 0.1ppm boron to blackgram to overcome drought situation. Foliar application of 2% Urea at preflowering and flowering stage of greengram is helpful in mitigating drought

Paddy Nursery Managment:

1. 1. Arrange 2-3 cm water in the paddy nursery.

2. Due to cloudy weather and high humidity, constant monitoring of paddy nurseries against attack of insect pest are advised.

3. Do not apply urea in the nursery.

Transplanting Paddy: Deficit rainfall in some parts of the district is observed . The following practices are to be adopted.

Provide protective irrigation. Remove the weeds and follow plant protection measures. Withhold N fertilizer application up to receipt of rainfall. Apply K fertilizers wherever soil moisture allows or wait up to receipt of rainfall. Strengthen the field bunds and clog the holes to check seepage loss.

1.. Due to forecasted rainfall ahead, the main field should be prepared for transplanting.

2. Do not go for paddy anymore in upland condition.

3. In case of water stress, spray 2% urea in Paddy and non-paddy crops at vegetative stage.

4. Seedlings up to 45 and 60-70 days old can be transplanted in case of medium land and late duration rice vars., respectively without much reduction in yield. Remove the weeds and follow plant protection measures against blast in nursery. Pulverize the main rice field in dry conditions, if it is not ploughed earlier to save time in final puddling. Use tractor/power tiller/tractor mounted rotavator for speedy land preparation/puddling . Follow closer spacing using 5-7 seedlings per hill.

SRI Paddy Transplanting:

1.The main field should be marked by a marker and 8-12 days old single seedling is to be transplanted at 25cmX25cm with a starter dose of 4 ton FYM/acre.

2. 10 days after transplanting run the cono weeder in every 10 -15 days interval .

Ragi

Due to receipt of rain last week, the land is soft so go for intercultivation in Ragi at 2-3 weeks after transplanting top dress with 10-12 kg Nitrogen /ac.

Maize:

1. Due to rain forecasting Sow hybrid maize like Prabal, HQPM, Cargil 900M, @ 6 kg/acre is sown.

2. Spacing is 60X 30 cm.

3. Fertilizer dose is 120:60:60 NPK/ha.

4. After 21 days after sowing follow earthing up and apply 12 kg Nitrogen/acre.

Pulses:

1. Early sown mung and blackgram, the pods are matured than go for harvesting to escape from the damage by rain.

Groundnut:

1 . Due to rainy and cloud weather condition, at 55-60 DAS. in groundnut Tikka disease may be found . To mange this spray Carbendazim @ 2 g /liter of water.

Livestock:. Provide sufficient clean drinking water to animals. Contact departmental personnel for vaccination.

Pisciculture: If the water decreases to less than 1 meter and than catch the fish for market purpose when the ABW is 750 g. To take Pisciculture activities in new pond, clean the pond from predator fish by application of mahua cake @ 1000 kg/ha pond. After cleaning the pond, collect the quality fish fingerlings and release in the pond.

· Drain out excess water from the field.

· Rice seedlings is at 15 days in nursery, apply 4 kg urea in 10 cent nursery beds for proper growth and development To protect the

seedlings in nursery from insect attack ,apply 1 kg Cartaf Hydrochloride (Padan Caldan etc.) per 10 cent nursery area

· Incorporate the green manuring of 35 to 40 days old and incorporate in field in lsate sown condition.

· If there is silt over the crop after the flood, then spray normal water to wash out silts form the crops thoroughly.

· In case of direct seeded rice, if the damage is more than 50%, then go for transplanting of rice. If less than 50% plants are damaged

then clonal planting of rice may be made in the areas with sparse population

· Transplanting should be done after the flood water recedes, as the next week may receive below normal rainfall.

· After the rain water recedes beaushaing shouldn’t be done in low land with less plant population, weeding may be done with chemical

herbicide application, to control weeds in the main field of rice, spray chemical weedicide bispyribac sodium @ 8 ml/200 ltr of water per acre.

· Infestation of swarming caterpillar may be found aftert the flood water recedes, for its control; apply Chloropyrifos dust 10G around the bond. Spray Chloropyrifos @2ml/ltr of water to the root zone in afternoon hour.

· Go for beaushaning of direct sown paddy in medium and low land if past 21 days stage. Apply 16 kg nitrogen per acre at beusaning followed by weeding and gap filling. Drain out the excess water at the time of fertilizer application and pond it again after one day. If basal dose fertilizer not applied, apply 18 kg Urea, 100 kg SSP and 26 kg MOP while bushening followed by top dressing of 35 kg Urea after 7 to 10 days. Control the cutworm by chloropyriphos dusting around the bund.

· Go for transplanting of rice. If Azolla is grown in main field, incorporate at the puddling time. Otherwise, apply 400 kg Azolla per acre 7 days after transplanting. Similarly, apply 6 kg BGA per acre 7days after transplanting. For good growth of BGA, apply 16 kg SSP thrice at 15 days interval. Do not allow the field to be dried up. Apply 2 kg Azotobacter (medium land) or Azospirillum (low land) with 2 kg

PSB before transplanting. Apply 6-8 kg N, 12-16 kg P2O5 and 12-16 kg K2O as basal fertilizer at the time of last round of puddling for medium to long duration varieties. If nursery is not applied with granular pesticide, go for root dipping of seedlings in 10 ml

Chloropyriphous mixed 10 litres with water for 6-8 hours Plant 2 to 3 seedlings per hill shallow and upright in lines at 15 to 20 cm apart depending upon the varieties and hills at 10 cm apart.
