DETAILS OF ADVISORIES FOR THE PERIOD

Crop Stage Pest/Disease Precautionary Practices to be followed

FIELD CROPS

Pea Pod Formation

/mature /harvesting

 Regularly harvest mature pods,

 Regular monitoring of the crop against possible attack of blight.

 Provide support to the crop,

Maize Land

preparation

 Procure good quality certified seeds,

 Seed treatment of early maize with Imidichloropid @ 1-2g/10kg is recommended before sowing.

 Sowing in the current weather condition is recommended VEGETABLES

Early Kharif vegetables

Sowing  Nursery of early kharif vegetables like Capsicum, tomato &

other vegetables can be done

 Procure seed from certified agencies

 Carry out seed treatment with Thiram/Carbendazim @ 2g/kg seed before sowing

 Transplanting of the healthy seedling to main field may be done

Potato Vegetative stage/

harvesting

 Immediate harvesting of mature crop recommended

 Dry the harvested crop before storage

 Do not wash the harvested crop, it may induce spoilage



Store in a cool, well ventilated place

HORTICULTURAL CROPS

Khasi Mandarin After harvesting/

transplanting

Citrus aphid/

leaf eating caterpillar

 In case of citrus aphid attack, spray Quinalphos or Dimethoate 0.05 per cent and repeat it after every 7 days

 In case of leaf eating caterpillar, spray Imidachorpid (0.30 ml) or Dimethoate 1.5 ml or Fenitrothion 1ml or Carbaryl 2g in one litre of water.

LIVESTOCKS

Livestock Stage Disease

Precautionary Practices to be followed

Poultry All stages  Vaccination of birds as per the recommended age,

 Avoid dampness, litter should be periodically changed.

 Provide clean and fresh water daily.

 Artificial heating through lighting of electric bulb during night time to protect the poultry birds (day old to 25 days old) from low temperature.

Pig Pigs/ Piglets  The bedding is always dry and that there is plenty.

 If possible wooden sleeping box should be provided.
