Agro meteorological Advisories for coming 5 days

Main Crop/ Animal /Fisheries

Stage Pest/Diseases Agricultural Advisories

Boro Rice Panicle initiation to

flowering stage

Give second top dressing of Urea @ 44Kg/ha after 2nd

hand weeding at 40-45 DAT.

Blast/Brown spot Prevailing weather is congenial for development of blast in

boro rice. If blast spot are seen, spraying of Carbendazim

@ 1g/l of water is recommended.

Leaf folder

When there is one damage leaf per hill due to attack of leaf

folder or appearance of one adult hispa per hill is observed

farmers are advised to spray Chloropyriphos 20EC or

Monocrotophos 40 EC @ 1.5ml per litre of water.

Maize

High & Mid altitude

Region

Land preparation

to sowing

Start sowing of HYVs of maize like Vijay Composite, DA

61A, RCM 75, 76, Vivek Hybrid 25, Vivek QPM-1 &

local varieties like Local White & local Yellow in high

altitude region.

Incorporate organic manures like FYM @ 5t/ha in the field

20-30 days before sowing during ploughing.

Seed should be treated with Carbendazim 50% WP @ 2g/

kg or Captan 50% WP @ 2.5g/Kg of seed.

Sow 2 seeds per hill at a spacing of 60×30 cm followed by

thining at 10 days after germination & retaining one

seedling per hill.

Okra Sowing Sowing of HYV’s like Pusa A-4, VRO-6, Pusa Sawani,

Arka Anamika, Parbhani Kranti may be started now.

Before sowing farmers are advised to give water soaking

treatment overnight to enhance germination.

Sow the soaked seeds at the spacing of 30cm x 45cm with

3 seeds per hill & then thin to 2 plants per hill after 10

days.

Brinjal Nursery

preparation

Nursery bed preparation

Prepare raised nursery bed & apply FYM @ 4 kg/m2.

Make rows of 10 cm distance along the width of the bed

with the help of bamboo stick. Sow the seeds at 1-2 cm

deep in the line & covered with sieved FYM, sand and soil

mixture. Covered the bed with dry grass/paddy straw or

polythene for 3-5 days to induce early germination of

RC (AE)/30/2011/ Bulletin/March’2015/98 Dated: 17/03/2015




seeds. Irrigate the bed every day. Removed the coverage

as soon as sprouts come out. Seedlings of 30-35 days old

can be transplanted in the main filed.

Recommended varieties:

Local Umroi, Muta Kesh, Narrow

Recommended seed rate

Varieties : 400 g / ha

Hybrids : 200 g / ha

Seed treatment

Treat the seeds with Trichoderma viride @ 4 g / kg or

Pseudomonas fluorescens @ 10 g / kg of seed. Treat the

seeds with Azospirillum @ 40 g / 400 g of seeds using

rice gruel as adhesive.

Bottle Gourd Sowing Prepare pits of size 60cm x 60cm x 60cm for sowing of

bottle gourd & apply 15-20kgs well rotten FYM in each

pit.

Sow 2-3 seeds of bottle gourd varieties like Pusa Summer,

Prolific Long, Prolific Round, Pusa Meghdoot, Pusa

Hybrid 2, etc to be planted in each pit.

Mulching with locally available materials like straw,

grasses may be done to reduce evaporation loses.

Ash Gourd Sowing Ash gourd to be planted at plant to plant 3m and row to

row 1.5m spacing. Apply 15-20kgs FYM/pit of size 60cm

x 60cm. Sowing of 2-3 seed may be sown in each pit.

Capsicum Fruiting stage Apply remaining dose of urea @ 54 kg/ha at 50-60 DAT.

As there was no rain in the previous days provide

irrigation to the crop.

Aphids & Thrips Spray Rogor (Dimethoate) @ 1 ml/litre of water or

Monocrotophos @ 1 ml/litre of water 2- 3 times at 8-10

days interval.

Khasi Mandarin During Feb/ March month apply lime @ 2-3 kg/tree in

alternate year.

Apply 350g Urea, 450g SSP & 200g MOP per tree and

FYM @ 15-20 kg/tree.

Undertake spraying of Bavistin (1g/l) + Monocrotophos

(1ml/l)+ Zn sulphate (0.5%)+Mg sulphate (0.2%)+ Cu

sulphate (0.4%)+ Mn sulphate(0.4%) on new flushes

during March/ April in Khasi Mandarin.

Mango Flowering stage As dry weather prevailing, apply light and frequent

irrigation to mango crop to get synchronised flowering

Leaf Hoppers Undertake spraying of Imidachlopride @ 0.3 ml/litre of

water or Dimethioate @ 2 ml/litre of water to protect the

mango crop from the incidence of leaf hoppers which is in

early flowering stage.

Animal Sciences

Poultry All stages As the day temperature has increased keep the poultry

house well ventilated during day time.

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 changed the water every day.

Diseased and dead birds should be immediately removed.

Regularly inspect the drooping of the poultry birds for any

diseases symptom

Coccidiosis Provide coccidiostatic like Amprolium @ 25-65 mg/kg




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

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 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 (Indectin tab.) @ 10mg/33kg body wt.

Cattle & Buffaloes 6-9 months calves Brucellosis Vaccinate 6-9 months old calves with Brucella abortus
