Suggestions for farmers cultivating Dhaincha and Sugarcane

Crop Specific Advisory

DAINCHA: In paddy-wheat crop rotation, after harvesting wheat or any other rabi crops, sowing of green manure like sesbania (daincha) and sunn hemp (Sanai) should be done in the second fortnight of April.

SUGARCANE: For late sowing of sugarcane crop after harvesting of wheat, should be completed in this month. Late sowing verities of sugarcane like CoS88230, CoS95255, CoS595222, CoS97264, Co Pant84212, etc should be used. The Upper 1/3rd to 1/2nd part of sugarcane should be used as seed for sowing. Seeds should be kept in water for 24 hour before seed treatment because it increases germination. For seed treatment, a solution of 1 gram Carbendazim 50% in 1 liter of water should be used.
