Rust  Undertake three subsequent sprays of Dithane M-45 (0.2

%) at 10 days interval Cauliflower &

Cabbage

Head/Curd initiation stage

 Apply the remaining dose of N (130.2 kg/ha urea) and K (50 kg/ha MOP) at 30-45 days after transplanting.

 Undertake regular intercultural operations like weeding, ear thing up, mulching, etc

Diamond Black Moth

 Install pheromone traps @12/ha & Spray Neem seed Kernel Extract@ 5% or Chlorpyrifos 20%EC @2mL/l or Dinethoate (30 %) 10 ml in 10L or 3 sprays of Femvalerate @ 50g.a.i./ha.

 Grow mustard as trap crop

Broccoli Head initiation stage  Undertake regular weeding to keep the crop free from weeds.

 Give regular light irrigation throughout the crop growth.

 Apply remaining dose half dose of N (130 kg/ha urea) at 30-45 days after transplanting.

Ginger/ Turmeric Harvesting  Harvest when plants are totally dried up.

Groundnut Harvesting stage  Start harvesting the plant when the bottom leaves shed, top leaves & stem turn yellow and 70–80% of the pods start yellowing.

 Harvesting can be done either by hand pulling of the plants from bottom if there is adequate moisture or by digging with spade.

 Stack the plants in inverted position and dry in sun for 3 – 4 days to bring down the moisture content to 7-8% for safe storage. Clean the dry pod and store in gunny bags

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

Soyabean Harvesting  Yellowing of pods and dropping of leaves in soyabean indicates maturity. Farmers are advised to harvest their crop if 95 % of the pods become yellow and the moisture content of the seeds during harvesting should be 14-15 %.

 After harvesting, dry the crop for 3 days and undertake threshing.

Khasi Mandarin All stage  Paste the trunk of Mandarin tree upto 2m height with 1%

Carbaryl 150 WP (20g/l).

 Collect and destroy the trunk borer adults by shaking the branches 2-3 times at 10 days interval.

Animal Sciences

Poultry All stages  Provide vitamin B complex @ 7ml/litre in drinking

water daily in broiler for healthy growth.

 Litter should be changed periodically and provide clean drinking water and change the water every day.

 Diseased and dead birds should be immediately removed.

 Regularly inspect the dropings of the poultry birds for any diseases symptom.

Coccidiosis  Provide plenty of fresh and clean drinking water.

 Provide 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.

Piggery All stages  Keep the pig stay/shed dry and clean and avoid

dampness during rainy season.

 Repair the roof of pig stay to protect from rain.

 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.

Skin infection  Provide Ivermectin (Injection) @ 10mg/33kg body wt.

Cattle & Buffaloes 6-9 months calves Brucellosis  Vaccinate 6-9 months old calves with Brucella abortus cotton strain-19 @ 5ml subcutaneous on the neck Foot & Mouth

Disease, Haemorrhagic Septicaemia, Black

RC (AE)/30/2011/ Bulletin/December’2016/77 Dated: 30/12/2016

Groundnut Harvesting stage  Start harvesting the plant when the bottom leaves shed, top leaves & stem turn yellow and 70–80% of the pods start yellowing.

 Harvesting can be done either by hand pulling of the plants from bottom if there is adequate moisture or by digging with spade.

 Stack the plants in inverted position and dry in sun for 3 – 4 days to bring down the moisture content to 7-8% for safe storage.

Clean the dry pod and store in gunny bags

Soyabean Harvesting  Yellowing of pods and dropping of leaves in

soyabean indicates maturity. Farmers are advised to harvest their crop if 95 % of the pods become yellow and the moisture content of the seeds during harvesting should be 14- 15 %.

 After harvesting, dry the crop for 3 days and undertake threshing.

Khasi Mandarin All stage  Paste the trunk of Mandarin tree upto 2m

height with 1% Carbaryl 150 WP (20g/l).

Animal Sciences

Poultry All stages  Provide vitamin B complex @ 7ml/litre in

drinking water daily in broiler for healthy growth.

 Litter should be change periodically and provide clean drinking water and changed the water every day.

 Diseased and dead birds should be immediately removed.

 Regularly inspect the dropings of the poultry birds for any diseases symptom.

Coccidiosis  Provide plenty of fresh and clean drinking water.

 Provide 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.

Piggery All stages  Keep the pig stay/shed dry and clean and

avoid dampness during rainy season.

 Repair the roof of pig stay to protect from rain.

 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.
