The farmers of middle Gujarat agro-climatic zone are recommended to sow castor (GCH 10) at the spacing of 120 X 60 cm and fertilize the crop with 120 kg N/ha and 1L/ha Azotobacter liquid bio-fertilizer mixed with FYM as basal. Nitrogen should be applied in four equal splits i.e. 30 kg N/ha in basal, at 30 DAS, at 60 DAS and at 90 DAS to get higher yield.

1

Maize growers of Middle Gujarat Agro-climatic Zone III are recommended to treat the seeds with thiamethoxam 30 FS, 8 ml/ kg using 8 ml of water before 12 hours of sowing for preventing stem borer infestation. The treated seeds should be dried under shade condition before sowing.

2

Rice growers of middle Gujarat agro-climatic zone are advised to spray flubendiamide 20 WG, 0.005% (2.5 g per 10 litre of water) at 30 and 45 days after transplanting for effective and economical control of leaf folder, Cnaphalocrosis medinalis infesting rice. PHI of 30 days should be kept.

3

Farmers of middle Gujarat Agro-climatic zone growing maize in kharif are advised to spray spinetoram 11.7 SC, 0.0117 % (10 ml/ 10 litre of water) or emamectin benzoate 5 SG, 0.0025% (5 g/ 10 litre of water) or chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC, 0.006% (3 ml/ 10 litre of water) or thiodicarb 75 WP, 0.11% (15 g/ 10 litre of water) first at initiation of pest and second after 15 days for effective and economical control of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda infesting maize. PHI of 30 days should be kept.

5

Farmers of middle Gujarat Agro-climatic zone are advised to spray Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki 1 % WG @ 20 g/10 litre water first at initiation of pest and subsequent two sprays at 10 days interval for effective and economical control of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda infesting maize.

6

Farmers of middle Gujarat Agro-climatic zone growing maize in kharif are advised to apply poison baits

• Rice bran 25 kg + jaggery 5 kg + thiodicarb 75 WP 250 g/ha

                                           or

• Maize flour 25 kg + jaggery 5 kg + thiodicarb 75 WP 250 g/ha

                                           or

• Rice bran 25 kg + jaggery 5 kg + emamectin benzoate 5 SG 125 g/ha

 

         First at initiation of pest and second after 15 days for effective and economical control of fall armyworm in leaf whorl in maize.

Note: Dissolve 5 kg jaggery in 5 litres of water, mix 25 kg of bran/flour in to it and keep it overnight, next day add insecticide in bait before application.

New Technologies given for farming community

1

Treat the seeds of maize with imidacloprid 600 FS, 8 ml/ kg seed (0.96 kg. a.i./ ha) using equal quantity of water before 12 hours of sowing for preventing stem borer infestation. The treated seeds should be dried under shade condition before sowing.

6

Leaf hopper, whitefly and thrips on castor leaves remained active throughout the crop season with their peak activity during 3rd week of November, 5th week of October and 3rd week of November, respectively whereas thrips on spike remained active from flowering stage till harvesting of crop with their peak activity during 4th week of January and capsule borer remained active from spike formation stage till harvesting of crop with their peak incidence during 3rd week of January. The population of leaf hopper shown highly significant negative correlation with minimum temperature, morning relative humidity and rainfall; population of thrips on leaves shown highly significant negative correlation with minimum temperature, morning relative humidity, evening relative humidity and rainfall whereas thrips on spike and capsule borer incidence shown highly significant negative correlation with minimum temperature and maximum temperature.
