In this way, prevent diseases affecting cotton and sugarcane crops

COTTON- Eradicate the weeds like kanghi buti, peeli buti, puth kanda etc growing on cotton field bunds, waste lands, road side and irrigation channels/canals to avoid further spread of whitefly to cotton field.

SUGARCANE- Apply paddy straw or rice husk or sugarcane trash @ 20-25 q/acre between the rows of sugarcane to reduce soil temperature and moisture loss.

• For the management of early shoot borer in sugarcane, use Tricho-cards having 20,000 eggs of Corcyra cephalonica parasitized (seven days old) by Trichogramma chilonis per acre at 10 days interval.
