Agro meteorological Advisories for coming 5 days

Main Crop/

Animal /Fisheries

Stage Pest/Diseases Agricultural Advisories

Sali/Kharif Rice Vegetative stage  1st hand weeding may be done at 20-25 DAT followed by top dressing of Urea @44Kg/ha. Due to continuous rain in the last days, farmers are advised to check the water level and released excess water maintaining a water level of 3-5 cm.

Groundnut (Lower altitude regions)

Flowering to pod formation stage

 Avoid water logging in the field. Remove excess water and maintain proper drainage facilities. Farmers can perform one hand weeding at 30-35DAS (i.e. flower initiation stage) followed by earthing up to promote easy penetration of pegs into soil.

Leaf spot  Warm weather with intermittent rain is congenial for the development of leaf spot in groundnut. Spray carbendazim (0.05%) + mancozeb (0.2%) at 2-3 weeks intervals after the current spell of rain if dark spots are seen on the leaf.

Aphid/ Leaf miner

 For control of major insect pests spray phosphamidon 100 EC @ 0.5 ml/ litre of water.

Soyabean (Lower altitude regions)

Flowering  Maintain proper drainage system to avoid water logging in the field and undertake regular weeding.

Pigeon Pea/ Red Gram

Sowing to vegetative stage  Sowing of red gram var. UPAS-120, ICPL 87 (short duration), WB 20, Pusa 9 & Sarita (long duration) may be continue. Maintain a spacing of 40-60 row to row & 10- 15 plant to plant (Short duration); 60-120 p-p & 15-20 row to row (Long duration). Apply starter dose of 10-15 kg N, 40-50kg P and 20kg S per ha at the time of sowing.

 Make drainage properly for draining of excess water from the field.

Green Gram/

Black Gram

(Lower altitude regions)

Sowing  Continue sowing of green/ black gram. Land should be leveled properly and provide adequate drainage to prevent water logging. Varieties like Pant U 19, T- 9 Azad urd 1 and green gram varieties like K 851, PDM 11, Pusa Vishal are suitable for this region and sowing should be done by maintaining a spacing of 30-35cm *10cm and seed rate of 12-15 kg/ha.

French Bean Sowing  Start sowing of French bean var. Naga Local after harvesting of maize crop. Maintain a seed rate of 20- 25kg/ha and spacing of 45 cm row to row & 15-20 cm plant to plant. Apply urea @ 65kg/ha, SSP @ 375kg/ha SSP & MOP @ 66.8kg/ha at the time of sowing.

Ginger/

turmeric

Rhizome initiation stage  Remove excess water and maintain proper drainage facilities in the field. Undertake weeding and 2^nd top dressing of urea @ 81 kg/ha and MOP@ 42 kg/ha at 90 DAS followed by earthing up.

Leaf Spot

Rhizome rot (ginger)

 To prevent Leaf Spot disease, apply Bordeaux mixture (5:5:50) after 4 – 5weeks of sowing or Captan @ 1.5 g/l of water.

 Spray/ drench 1% Bordeaux mixture or Dithane M-45 (2.5g/l) to prevent rhizome rot.

Pea

(High altitude regions)

Sowing  Start sowing of pea in high altitude after the current spell of rain. Recommended var. are Arkel (for vegetables), TRC P8, TRC P9, Prakash, Rachna. Maintain a seed rate of 60 kg is required for 1 ha at a spacing of 20-25 cm between rows & 3-5 cm plant to plant. Apply recommended dose of fertilizer, NPK - 20:60:40 kg/ha (44kg Urea, 375 kg SSP & 67 kg MOP). Apply all doses of fertilizers at the time of sowing.

Cauliflower (High altitude regions)

Nursery preparation  Start preparing of raised nursery bed of cauliflower (var.

like Meghalaya Local) in temporary rain shed structure or starts after the current spell of rain in high altitude regions. Seed rate of 400-500g is required for transplanting of 1 ha.

Animal Sciences

Poultry Coccidiosis  Warm temperature with high relative humidity is

favorable for development of disease in poultry. Take precaution measures and regularly check the dropping of birds. Provide plenty of fresh and clean drinking water and coccidiostatic like Amprolium @ 25-65 mg/kg feed once a day as a preventive measure against coccidiosis.

Ranikhet disease  Vaccinate the poultry birds with F1/ Lasota vaccine (1 drop) at the age of 4-7 days old and 35 days old through eye and nostril.
