Consultation for farmers cultivating wheat, mustard and gram

WHEAT- Necessary irrigation should be given in the wheat crop as needed. Remove weeds like Gulli Danda and jalgi jai (wild oats) and destroy them.

• On the occurrence of aphid in wheat, spray the solution of Thiamethoxam 25 WG @ 100 ml/ha or Imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 140 ml/ha in 500-600 liters of water.
• Do second spray at an interval of 15 days.
• Spray should be done in the morning or evening hours when there is no rain or strong wind.

MUSTARD- Harvest the mature crop of black mustard (rai) and store the grain after drying.

Gram- Light irrigation should be given in the chickpea crop at the time of pod formation.

• To control the blight disease in gram, Mancozeb 75% WP @ 2.5g/lit should be sprayed keeping in view the weather forecast.
• If the leaves of gram are falling after turning yellow, then harvest them.
• Harvesting should be done in the morning and after drying in the sunlight for 6-7 days, threshing should be done.
• Storage is done only after proper drying the grains.
