Advisory related to Potato and Mango for next five days

POTATO- Under the prevailing weather conditions, there are chances of late blight attack in potato crops very soon. So it is advised to the farmers growing potato that if there is no late blight attack in the potato field, spray the crop with Mancozeb @ 0.25 % or 2.5 g per liter of water as a prophylactic spray. If the crop has already been attacked by late blight pathogen (initial symptoms have been observed in the field), Spray the crop with Cymoxanil+ Mancozeb OR Dimethomorph + Mancozeb OR Fenomidone + Mancozeb @ 0.3 % or 3.0 g per liter of water.
