Main Crop/ Animal /Fisheries

Stage Pest/Diseases Agricultural Advisories

Sali/ Kharif Rice Transplanting  Continue transplanting of rice & complete transplanting before 31^st July since late sowing is always detrimental to crop yield.

 Transplant 25-30 days old seedling at a spacing of 20cm row to row & 15cm plant to plant.

 Apply all P (375 kg/ha SSP), K (67 kg/ha MOP) & half dose of N (87 kg/ha Urea) at the time of transplanting.

 Do gap filling with seedlings of similar age within 7-10 days of transplanting.

 Maintained a water level of 2-5 cm. If weeds are seen farmers are advice to apply pre emergence herbicides like Butachlor (Machete) 5% granule @30Kg/ha in 3-4 cm standing water within 2-4 days after transplanting (DAT) to control grassy weeds or run Conoweeder / Japanese paddy weeder between the rows.

 Spray 2 % urea solution immediately after water stress period is over for quick recovery of rice crop from moisture stress.

Upland area  In water stressed upland fields, where there is a risks of crop (upland rice) failure, farmers are advised to grow tuber crops like sweet potato, colocassia, tapioca, etc for better land utilization and risk minimization.

Direct seeded Ahu Tillering/Panicle

initiation stage  Do top dressing of 1/3^rdUrea (44Kg/ha) after 1st hand weeding at 25-30 DAS & apply remaining 1/3rd urea (44Kg/ha) after 2nd hand weeding at 40-45 DAS.

Khasi Mandarin Planting  Planting of disease free healthy budded/grafted plants of Khasi mandarin on rootstock viz., Rough lemon and Rangpur lime can be done now.

 Dig pit size of 0.75 × 0.75 × 0.75 m at spacing of 5×5 m.

 Apply 15-20 kg FYM, 100g Urea, 100g MOP, 300g SSP, 100g Chloropyriphos dust or granule per pit and mix

Suggestion: Contact nearby State Agril. Staff or KVK staff for necessary help and suggestion.

100g Chloropyriphos dust or granule per pit and mix thoroughly.

 Before planting in the pit, dipped the roots in Ridomil MZ-72 @ 2.75g/L + Bavistin 1g/L solution for 10-15 mins.

 Bud graft union should be kept 15 cm above the ground level.

For bearing trees  Apply fertilizer @ 350g Urea, 450g SSP & 200g MOP per tree.

Animal Sciences

Poultry All stages  Deworming of poultry should be done regularly with single dose of Fenbendazole @ 5mg/kg body wt. in feed.

 Broiler should be provided with Vitamin B complex @ 7ml per litre in drinking water daily.

 Litter should be changed periodically to avoid dampness and prevent disease development like coccidiosis.

 As a preventive measure against coccidiosis, provide coccidiostatic like Amprolium @ 25-65 mg/kg feed once a day.

 During day time sufficient ventilation should be provided to reduce the relative humidity inside the shed.

Piggery All stages  Vaccinate all newly born piglets against swine fever at the age of 3 months followed by annual booster dose.

 In epidemic areas, vaccinate 6 months old pigs with FMD vaccine once in a year.

Stage Pest/Diseases Agricultural Advisories

Sali/ Kharif Rice Transplanting  Continue transplanting of rice & complete transplanting before 31^st July since late sowing is always detrimental to crop yield.

 Transplant 25-30 days old seedling at a spacing of 20cm row to row & 15cm plant to plant.

 Apply all P (375 kg/ha SSP), K (67 kg/ha MOP) & half dose of N (87 kg/ha Urea) at the time of transplanting.

 Do gap filling with seedlings of similar age within 7-10 days of transplanting.

 Maintained a water level of 2-5 cm. If weeds are seen farmers are advice to apply pre emergence herbicides like Butachlor (Machete) 5% granule @30Kg/ha in 3-4 cm standing water within 2-4 days after transplanting (DAT) to control grassy weeds or run Conoweeder / Japanese paddy weeder between the rows.

 Spray 2 % urea solution immediately after water stress period is over for quick recovery of rice crop from moisture stress.

Upland area  In water stressed upland fields, where there is a risks of crop (upland rice) failure, farmers are advised to grow tuber crops like sweet potato, colocassia, tapioca, etc for better land utilization and risk minimization.

Direct seeded Ahu Tillering/Panicle
