Rajasthan: Monsoon causes headaches in cotton crop, pests and diseases increase farmers' worries
Alwar : People have to face a lot of problems due to various types of seasonal diseases during monsoon and rains. In this way, even for the crops, the farmers are also troubled by the diseases that occur in the monsoon. In such a situation, the farmers face a lot of problems due to the diseases affecting the cotton crop. Farmers have sown cotton in Khairthal-Tijara district, which has been sown for about 40 to 45 days. In this case, when the weather changes, the possibility of many diseases in the crop increases.
Amar Singh Jangid, a resident of Meerka Basai, a nearby village of Khairthal-Tijara district, said that during the monsoon or continuous rains, the risk of fungal, early blight, late blight and other diseases in crops increases. In such a way, no one is able to spray the crop in this rain.
Whenever a farmer goes to see his field, he sees the leaves of the trees (plants) in the cotton crop from above, but if you turn the leaves and look from below, you see Aphids, Jassids and Whitefly, it is an indication that the crop is being attacked by pests. These pests can damage crop growth and yield. Farmers need to pay attention to this immediately.
Farmers can protect their cotton crop from diseases like this
If there is a risk of early blight in the farmers' crops after the rains, then the farmers will have to get pesticides from the authorized fertilizer and seed stores to prevent it. To avoid thrips, farmers use Imidacloprid insecticide, which controls sap-sucking insects like aphids, whiteflies, and jasids.
There is danger from these diseases and pests
Pink bollworm (Red Lat) outbreak in cotton crop increases in early harvest in the area, which is the biggest threat to cotton crop. The reason for this is that if there is sawdust in the field last year, it should not be cultivated in that field, which increases the germs. Agar Usi Khet mein buwai kar rahein, it is necessary to plow deeply. Farmers consider insecticides like Corazine, Kalex and Ampligo to be effective against Pink Bollworm (Red Lat), but farmers consider 'Corazine' as good. However, farmers say that the cost of corazine is higher than other pesticides, making small farmers reluctant to buy it.
But Local 18 appeals to the farmers of the district, if any disease occurs in your crop, consult a specialist. If you use any medicine, use it first with the advice of the Agriculture Department or Agricultural Scientist.
