Advisory for crops

FIELD PEA- Current weather and time is favorable for field preparation and sowing of field pea. Application of 20 kg/ha of nitrogen as a starter dose will be sufficient to meet the nitrogen requirement of the crop in the initial stage. It will be advisable to apply the fertilizers as per the results of soil analysis. However, in absence of soil test, it would be advisable to apply 50 kg each of P2O5 and K2O per ha as basal dose.

MAIZE- If rabi-maize is not sown yet, it is best time for land preparation for normal sowing. Land preparation must be done in current weather. The quantity of fertilizers to be applied depends mainly on soil fertility and the preceding field management. Therefore, for higher economic yield of maize, application of 10 t FYM ha-1, 10-15 days prior to sowing supplemented with 150-180 kg N, 70-80 kg P2 O5 , 70-80 kg K2O and 25 kg ZnSO4 ha-1 is recommended.

RICE- The normal sown WRC paddy is now in flowering/anthesis stage. Water management is very critical in this stage, so always maintain proper water level of at least 5 cm in the field. There may be attack of Brown Plant Hopper in some places, especially where plant density is high, in current weather condition. Keep the surrounding clean and weed free. If the population is above 8-10 adults per hill, spray 100 ml of Imidacloprid 17.8 SL per 250 liters of water per hectare.
