Groundnut variety D.H. 330 can be cultivated even in areas with low water availability. Groundnut is grown in states like Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and Karnataka. Due to drought in these states, farmers face a lot of challenges in peanut production. Due to less rainfall here, the yield of groundnut is less. Besides, the income of the farmer brothers is also less. In such a situation, today we have the peanut variety D.H. We are going to give information about 330, which requires less water for its cultivation.

When is groundnut sown?

For your information, let us tell you that peanuts are sown in July. It starts germinating 30 to 40 days after sowing. After flowering, pods start appearing in it. If there is a possibility of low rainfall and drought in your area, its productivity will not decline. For this, 180 to 200 mm of rainfall is sufficient.

Soil preparation for groundnut cultivation

To prepare the soil, irrigate it once after plowing the field. After sowing, when the plants start producing pods, cover the soil around the roots of the plants. Due to this, pods are produced well. Soil preparation is very important for better crop productivity.

Considering the dangerous conditions like storms, hailstorms, and El Nino, the Central Government has targeted cultivating climate-resistant (heat tolerant) varieties like DBW 327 Karan Shivani, HD-3385. A target of record wheat production of 11.4 crore tonnes has been set for this Rabi season. 

The yield of crops depends on the soil, weather, irrigation, and good-quality seeds. Also, sometimes due to adverse weather conditions, the farmer cannot even cover the cost of his crop. The farmer himself also goes through economic conditions. At the same time, his family also faces these challenges. In such a situation, the government has set a target keeping in mind the adverse circumstances. Under this target, climate-resistant DBW 327 Karan Shivani, HD-3385 ​​MP-3288, Raj 4079, DBW-110, and HD-2864, will be used in 60 percent of the total area of ​​wheat sowing. The target of cultivation of HD-2932 varieties has been set.

 The target of wheat production has been set

Considering the problems of climate change, the Union Agriculture Ministry has set a target of producing 11.4 crore tonnes of wheat in the Rabi season. At the same time, last year also the government had set a target of wheat production of 11.27 crore tonnes in the same period.

Union Agriculture Secretary Manoj Ahuja has prepared a strategy

Union Agriculture Secretary Manoj Ahuja has discussed the strategy of sowing Rabi crops, in which he has said that some changes are taking place in the climate ecology every day. Because of this, effects are being seen in crops also, so in such a situation, climate-resistant seeds should be used strategically.

Heat-resistant varieties are being encouraged

More than 800 climate-resistant varieties exist in India. These seeds need to be put in the seed chain under the ‘Seed Rolling’ scheme. Farmers should be motivated to grow heat-resistant varieties. Apart from this, a map should be prepared regarding good varieties to be produced by identifying specific areas in all the states. An important factor for good production is selecting varieties of seeds wisely. Farmers should always select good and climate-resistant varieties.

This year, too, due to the late advent of the winter season, the minimum temperature in the last week of January has been below 10 degrees Celsius for more than a week, and the farmer wants to know if the mangoes will be fine. Will it come early or late? The current environmental circumstances indicate a possible delay in arrival. To guarantee maximum fruit output, mango trees require a favourable blooming habitat. Several factors contribute to good flowering, including meteorological conditions and soil quality, as well as adequate tree care and orchard management.

Climate & Temperature

In tropical and subtropical settings, the mango tree need two and a half to three months of dry and cold weather to develop successfully. The optimal temperature for flowering is between 77°F and 95°F (25°C to 35°C). Cold temperatures prevent blooming, thus frost protection is needed. Furthermore, the cold time of winter, when temperatures dip to around 50°F (10°C), accelerates the arrival of flowers, resulting in them arriving later in the year.

Lighting needs

In general, mango plants enjoy exposure to sunshine. To promote seedling development and health, at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunshine are necessary every day. Adequate sunshine promotes photosynthesis, which provides the energy required for blooming and fruit production.

Soil Quality

Mango trees thrive on well-drained, loamy soil with a pH ranging from slightly acidic to neutral (6.0-7.5). A good soil structure promotes optimal aeration and root growth. Regular soil testing and amendment with organic matter helps to maintain nutrient levels and provide ideal blooming conditions.

Water Management

Mango trees require regular and enough irrigation, particularly during blossoming. However, wet situations should be avoided, since they might cause root rot. A well-managed irrigation system that provides moisture without waterlogging aids in blooming and subsequent fruit development. The farmer wants to know if he may irrigate shortly before or during blossoming. The right answer is that irrigation should not be done at this time since it may exacerbate the problem of crop loss, resulting in a loss for the farmer.

Nutrient management

Mango flowers require proper nutrition levels. During various growth phases, employ a balanced fertiliser rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Micronutrients like zinc play a key role in flower initiation and development. Regular soil testing aids in the exact administration of fertilisers.

Sorting and Training

Pruning shapes the tree, removes dead or diseased branches, and allows sunlight to penetrate more easily. Open canopies improve air circulation, lowering the incidence of flower-related illnesses. Proper branch training encourages an upright growth habit, which allows plants greater sunshine exposure.

Pest and Disease Management

Pests and illnesses can harm flowers. Regular monitoring and the timely application of suitable pesticides aid in infection prevention. Proper cleanliness, such as cleaning fallen leaves and trash, lessens the danger of illnesses like anthracnose, which harms flowers.

Pollination

Mango trees are predominantly cross-pollinated, with insect pollinators like bees playing a significant role. Maintaining a diversified habitat surrounding mango crops encourages natural pollination. When natural pollination is insufficient, hand pollination methods can be used to promote fruit sets.

Cooling Needs

Mango trees frequently require a cooling time before flowering. In locations where winter temperatures do not naturally drop, tactics such as using growth regulators or artificial chilling methods are used to induce the production of flower buds.

Disease Resistance

Planting disease-resistant mango types helps maintain the tree healthy and prevents illnesses from interfering with the flowering process. A healthy mango orchard requires regular monitoring and timely intervention against diseases such as powdery mildew and bacterial infection.

Finally, producing a favourable blooming environment for mango requires a comprehensive strategy that considers climatic conditions, soil quality, water management, nutritional balance, pruning, pest and disease control, pollination techniques, and particular cooling requirements. Is involved. By resolving these issues, producers may promote blooming, which will boost fruit output and overall orchard performance.

Farmers can cultivate spinach to get better profits. Let us tell you that in India, spinach is cultivated in all three crop cycles, Rabi, Kharif, and Zaid. For this, there should be a better drainage system in the field. Also, light loamy soil produces excellent spinach leaves.

Farmer brothers, take special care of these things

For cultivation of spinach on one hectare of land, 30 kg of seeds are required. At the same time, if farming is done through the sprinkling method, 40 to 45 kg of seeds are required. Before sowing, treat the seeds with 2 grams of Captan per kilogram, so that the yield is good. For the sowing of spinach, keep row to row distance of 25–30 cm and a plant-to-plant distance of 7–10 cm. For spinach cultivation, improved varieties with high production can be selected according to climate and soil.

All Green

For your information, let us tell you that the green leafy spinach variety is ready in 15 to 20 days. After sowing once, it can cut leaves six to seven times. This variety undoubtedly gives more production. But, if cultivated during winter, it produces seeds and leaves in 70 days.

Farmers, start from a small place

If you do not have gardening experience, start with a small space. Choose four to five types of vegetables for production and plant a few plants of each type. Growing vegetables in containers is also a great way. A sunny balcony would also be better. Remember to grow only those vegetables that you eat.

Also read: If you plant these vegetables in the rain, there will be strong production and strong profits.

Selection of good varieties is very important

Pay close attention to the details on the seed packet, tag or label. Every vegetable has some characteristics. Many varieties offer better disease resistance, better yields or better heat or cold tolerance.

Farmers should focus on productivity

Initially, people make the mistake of planting too many trees. Vegetables like tomatoes and chilies are available throughout the season. Because of this, you may not need very many plants to meet your needs. Other vegetables, like carrots, radishes, etc. can be cut only once. After that, they will need to be reapplied.

Crop should be selected according to the season

Planting vegetables in both cool and warm climates will provide you with a consistent crop of vegetables throughout the spring, summer, and fall. In early spring, grow lettuce, such as peas, radishes, carrots, and broccoli. Let us tell you that after the cold season, plant your favorite hot-season crops like tomato, chili, and brinjal. In autumn you can harvest potatoes, cabbage, and bananas. By planting vine crops, you can increase the yield per square foot by using vertical land in the garden.

Sunlight and water are essential for vegetable cultivation.

Let us tell you that it does not matter where you plant your garden. Your garden must meet two basic needs: water and plenty of sunlight. Root vegetables such as carrots, radishes, and beets can be grown if your site receives at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. If you get more sunlight than this, you can grow sun-loving vegetables like basil, rosemary, tomato, cucumber, and beans.

You will need to water frequently during the first few weeks after the seeds have germinated or been planted. Through this, delicate plants can be helped to produce strong roots and stems. Once your plants are established, it's a good idea to give your garden a long watering every few days rather than a little sprinkling every day. The water will then move deeper into the soil, which encourages the roots to grow deeper.

In the world, apart from India, Parwal is cultivated in China, Russia, Thailand, Poland, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Egypt and Myanmar. In India, Parwal is cultivated in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Assam, West Bengal, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Madras, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. In Uttar Pradesh, Parwal is cultivated on commercial level in Jaunpur, Faizabad, Gonda, Varanasi, Ghazipur, Ballia and Deoria districts, whereas in Bihar, Parwal is cultivated commercially in Patna, Vaishali, Muzaffarpur, Samastipur, Champaran, Sitamarhi, Begusarai, Khagaria, It occurs in Munger and Bhagalpur.

 In Bihar, it is cultivated in the plains and Diara areas. During the rainy season, fruit, leaf and root rot diseases are more common in Parwal, the main reason for this is the high humidity in the environment. This disease occurs on a large scale in all the major Parwal growing areas of the country. The severity of this disease is seen in almost all Parwal producing areas. 

This disease is not only seen in the crops standing in the field, apart from this, this disease is also seen when the fruits are plucked. Wet dark colored spots are formed on the fruits, these spots grow and rot the fruit and these rotten fruits start smelling, the fruits which are close to the ground are more diseased. Cotton-like fungus is visible on rotten fruits.

Causes of root and stem rot in Parwal

Fungal pathogen: More than one pathogen is responsible for root and vine rot in Parwal. Phytophthora melonis causes rotting of fruits, leaves and roots of Parwal (Trichosanthes dioica). Apart from this, Rhizoctonia solani, various species of Fusarium and various species of Pythium are also the main causes behind root and vine rot in Parwal. There are reasons. These pathogens thrive in hot and humid conditions, making the crop vulnerable, especially during the rainy season.

Also read: Farmers can earn good money in a short amount of time by growing parwal

Poor drainage: Waterlogged soils or inadequate drainage systems create ideal environments for fungus growth. Excess moisture around the roots and vines promotes the development of rot. 

Contaminated soil and planting material: Using contaminated soil or infected planting material can introduce pathogens into the crop. Proper soil sterilization and use of disease-free seedlings are essential preventive measures.

Effect of rotting on Parwal

Reduction in yield: Root and vine rot can significantly reduce crop yield. Infected plants may produce small, deformed fruits, or in severe cases, fail to produce harvestable produce.

Economic loss: For farmers, lower yields mean lower income. The costs of inputs such as seeds, fertilizers and labor are not compensated, leading to financial losses.

Crop Quality: The quality of Parwal can be compromised even if the crop survives. Rotten vines and roots affect the taste and texture of the vegetable, making it unmarketable.

How to manage root and stem rot disease in Parwal?

Effective management of root and vine rot in Parwal involves a combination of preventive and curative measures. To solve this problem, some solutions are as follows:

Crop rotation and site selection

Implement crop rotation system to break the disease cycle. Avoid planting Parval in the same soil for consecutive seasons. Choose well-drained, elevated planting sites to reduce the risk of waterlogging.

Preparing the soil

Before planting, make sure the soil is properly prepared. Incorporate organic matter such as compost to improve soil structure and drainage. Use soil solarization, a technique where plastic sheets are used to trap heat and kill soil-borne pathogens before planting.

Seed selection and treatment

Use disease-free planting material from reputable sources. Treat the planting material with fungicide before transplanting to reduce the chance of fungal infection.

Proper water management

Irrigate the crop carefully, avoiding excessive moisture around the roots and vines. Use drip irrigation to deliver water directly to the root zone, reducing fungal contact.

Also read: All information regarding drip irrigation

Use of fungicide

Use fungicides as a preventive measure, especially during the early stages of plant growth. To control this, fruits should not be allowed to come in contact with the ground. For this, straw or reeds should be spread on the ground. Spraying fungicide containing Ridomil and Mancozeb mixed with Ridomil M Gold, 2 grams per liter of water and thoroughly wetting the soil around Parwal with this solution reduces the severity of the disease. 

It is worth noting that Parwal fruits should be harvested only after 10 days of spraying the medicine. All pluckable fruits should be plucked before spraying the medicine. The schedule for spraying the medicine should be decided only after the weather forecast, because if it rains immediately after spraying the medicine, the expected benefits will not be achieved. Consult agricultural experts for guidance on proper fungicide and application schedule.

Controlling the organic matter

Use beneficial microorganisms such as various species of Trichoderma that help suppress pathogenic fungi.

Cleanliness

Practice good field sanitation by removing and destroying infected plant debris. This prevents the formation of pathogens in the soil. Disinfect tools and equipment to prevent the spread of disease.

Fungus resistant varieties of parwal

If available, choose Parwal varieties that are resistant to root and vine rot. Resistant varieties can reduce the risk of infection to a great extent.

Nutrient management

Maintain balanced levels of nutrients in the soil. Plants lacking nutrients are more susceptible to diseases. Regularly monitor and adjust fertilizer application based on soil testing.

Training and education of farmers

Train farmers in disease identification and management techniques. Establish local support networks and extension services for timely advice and assistance.

Weather monitoring

Keep an eye on weather conditions, especially during the rainy season. Apply preventive measures when conditions are favorable for fungal growth. To conclude, root and vine rot in Parwal can be challenging for farmers, but with the right management strategies, its impact can be minimized. Preventive measures such as crop rotation, soil preparation and proper water management are important. 

Additionally, the use of disease resistant varieties and biological control methods can further increase crop resilience. By taking a holistic approach to disease management and staying informed about best practices, farmers can protect their Parval crops and ensure a safer and more profitable harvest.

Former Captain Prakash Chand has said that there is no significant benefit in the cultivation of traditional crops like wheat and maize. In such a situation, farmers should now turn to horticulture. Because there is more profit in less cost under horticulture.

Actually, the person we are going to talk about is Prakash Chand. He was formerly serving as a Captain in the Indian Army. After taking retirement, he came to the village and started farming. The special thing is that he is now 70 years old. They are cultivating on their own even at this age. Captain Prakash Chand is a native of Kaiharru village in Hamirpur district of Himachal Pradesh. He is still gardening at this age.

Former Captain Prakash Chand has sold mosambi worth about Rs 2 lakh

He has a mosambi orchard in 20 kanals of land. This is earning them lakhs of rupees every year. Former captain Prakash Chand says that when he came to the village and started gardening, he earned 60 thousand rupees in the second year. At the same time, in the third year, he sold mosambi worth about Rs 2 lakh. However, this year the orchard has suffered a lot due to excessive rains. Then, too, they say that this time there will be a profit of Rs 4 lakh.
