Most of the work in April is related to harvesting of crops. In this month, farmers harvest Rabi crops and sow other crops. Some of the important work related to agriculture in this month is as follows.

Harvesting of Rabi Crops.

The harvesting of crops like wheat, peas, gram, barley lentils, etc. is done in this month only. It is very important to harvest these crops at the right time. If the crop is not harvested at the right time, the productivity and quality of the crop will be adversely affected. If harvested late, the pods and ears start breaking and falling. Apart from this, this crop can also be damaged by birds and rats.

The farmer can do the harvesting of the crop himself, or he can also get it harvested by machines. Some farmers harvest the crop with a sickle because there is very little loss of straw and grains in it. Harvesting the crop by combine is easier and takes much less time than sickle harvesting, and also saves money. 

To harvest with a combine, it is necessary to have 20% moisture in the crop. If the crop is being harvested with sickle etc. then dry the crop thoroughly and then start harvesting. Do not keep the crop stored in the field for a long time. Get the crop removed immediately using thresher etc.

Sowing of crops for green manure

In April, farmers sow green manure crops to increase the fertility of the land. Dhencha is also included in green manure crops. The sowing of Dhencha should be done by the end of April. Dhencha cultivation maintains the presence of nutrients in the soil.

Harvesting of gram and mustard

Mustard, potatoes, and gram are harvested in April. After harvesting all these crops, the farmer can also grow vegetables like ridge gourd, cucumber, tinda, bitter gourd, and cucumber. Keep in mind that while sowing, keep the distance from plant to plant between 50 cm to 100 cm. If all these vegetables have been sown, then take special care of irrigation. For higher crop production, spray Hydrozide and Tri Iodo Benzoic Acid mixed in water.

Sowing of Radish and Ginger

After harvesting Rabi crops, radish and ginger are sown in this month. RRW and Pusa Chetki varieties of radish can be grown in this month. Before sowing ginger, do seed treatment. For seed treatment use a drug called Bavistin.

Pests in Tomato crop

The sowing of tomatoes is done before April. To protect the tomato crop from fruit borer diseases in April, spray the Malathion chemical drug by mixing it in 1 ml of water. But before spraying, pluck ripe fruits. After spraying, do not harvest the fruits for 3-4 days.

Ladyfinger crop

Ladyfinger plants start bearing fruits from summer itself. Soft and unripe fruits are plucked for use. The fruits of Ladyfinger should be plucked at an interval of 3-4 days. If the fruits are harvested late, the fruits become bitter hard, and fibrous.

 Many times the leaves of the lady's finger plant start turning yellow, and the size of the fruits also becomes smaller. This disease in okra crops is caused by a yellow mosaic virus. To save the crop from this disease, the diseased plants can be uprooted and thrown away or the crop can be saved from destruction by using chemical pesticides.

Digging Onions and Garlic

Digging of onion and garlic is started in April. Irrigation work should be stopped 15-20 days before digging of onion and garlic. Dig the plant only when it dries thoroughly. The farmer can identify whether the plant is dry or not by breaking the tip of the plant.

Caring of Capsicum

Capsicum crop should be irrigated at an interval of 8-10 days. To reduce weeds in the crop, weeding, and hoeing should also be done. To protect capsicum cultivation from insect attack, spray Roger 30 EC mixed with water. In case of severe pest infestation, spraying can be done again at an interval of 10-15 days.

Brinjal crop 

Constant monitoring should be done in the brinjal crop, there are more chances of stem and fruit borer insects in the brinjal crop. That is why pesticides should be used to protect the crop from pests.

Jackfruit crop 

Jackfruit cultivation can get spoiled due to diseases like rot. To prevent this, spray zinc carbamate solution.

To earn more production than sowing winter sugarcane, the farmers should accept this scientific method, so their crops don't get affected by any kind of disease & also a plenty of profit could be achieved in production capacity. In regards to such situations, we’ve brought some information about scientific sowing of sugarcane for the farmers today. Farmers have started sowing winter sugarcane in different states of India. In such a situation, if farmers sow sugarcane better in their fields, then they can get maximum profit. In this series, agricultural scientists have issued advice to take some precautions for sowing sugarcane. Actually, farmers should plow the field better to get the best yield of sugarcane. Along with this, high quality manure should also be added to the field, so that the crop can be increased rapidly. Also, there should be no disease of any kind in it.

Do these things before sowing winter sugarcane

Farmers, if they want to sow winter sugarcane recently inside their fields then they should first plough the field deeply, then add 10 tonnes of dung manure per hectare in the field. just to let you know that this is for the elimination of the diseases present in the field and for the crop to grow in a great & uncaptive manner. After this, you have to plough the field once again. After this, the soil has to be made uniform by running the leveller. After this, one can now sow sugarcane in the field with a single big method. To sow sugarcane by a single big method, farmers can easily plant 10-12 quintals of sugarcane seeds per hectare.

Fertiliser during sugarcane sowing

During sugarcane sowing, provide 100 kg urea and 500 kg single super phosphate per hectare. At the same time, apply MOP - 100 kg per hectare, Zinc Sulphate - 25 kg per hectare, Regent - 25 kg per hectare, Bavaria Bassiana Metarhizium anisopliae - 5 kg per hectare, PSB - 10 kg per hectare, Azotobacter - 10 kg per hectare. During sugarcane sowing, use chemical fertilisers in proper and prescribed quantities.

Before sowing sugarcane, keep weed control in mind. If weeds are not controlled in time then there can be reduction in production. Production can be decreased by 10-30 percent. In this situation, let us know how to control weeds. 

These days, autumn sowing of sugarcane is going on in India. At this time weed control is also more important. Because, sugarcane crops can get affected due to weeds, which causes reduction in  production. In this situation, it should be controlled before sowing.Agricultural scientists have said that farmers should do weed control regularly.So that full development of their crop is possible.Dr. Sanjeev Pathak, Extension Officer of Uttar Pradesh Sugarcane Research Council, says that sowing of sugarcane is going on these days in various states of the country. Farmer brothers must keep in mind weed control before sowing. They have said that about 45 types of broad and narrow leaves of weeds are found in sugarcane. 

Yield of sugarcane decreases this way.

For your information, let us tell you that the field of sugarcane is sown by trench method because of a lot of space in between, and weeds grow rapidly. If weeds in sugarcane crops are not controlled in time then there may be a decrease in yield of sugarcane. Let us tell you that yield can be decreased by 10-30 percent, because weeds grow with the crop. Therefore take control over the weeds on time so that crops don't get harmed. 

Control weeds like this.

Dr. Sanjeev Pathak has said that weed control in the first three months of sugarcane sowing. Two methods can be used for weed control. The first method in which weeds can be eliminated is by chemical spraying of herbicides. Whereas, the second method is the mechanical method, in which weeds can be eliminated by weeding.

Weeding helps in the circulation of air in the soil, which helps in the excellent development of sugarcane roots. Let us tell you that when the roots are fully developed, the plants will absorb the nutrients present in the soil, the fertilizers given by the farmers and the irrigation water, which will also improve the growth and development. Now in such a situation, farmers will get a very good yield. Besides, the weeds growing in the crop will also be eliminated.

Farmer brothers should spray medicine in this way.

If a chemical method has to be used in any special circumstances then to control broadleaf and narrow leaf weeds, apply 500 grams of Metribuzin 70 percent simultaneously And make a solution of 2 4 D 58 percent in 1000 liters of water corresponding to 2.5 liters per hectare and spray it. During this time, be careful that the medicine is sprayed only on the weeds in the space between the two lines of sugarcane. Try to ensure that the medicine does not fall on the sugarcane plants. Spraying of medicine on sugarcane plants can significantly affect the growth of the plants.

In the present, sugarcane Farmers will get more price than before. Punjab has been the maximum price giving state for sugarcane in India. The Punjab government has taken a big decision for the benefit of farmers. There is good news for sugarcane cultivators from the State government. The government has announced to increase the rates of sugarcane. In the present, 391 rupees per quintal will be given to the state's sugarcane Farmers accordingly. 

Apart from this, Punjab has now become the highest payer to sugarcane farmers in india. States like Haryana and others come after Punjab in this list. In paying highest to sugarcane, Punjab is at the first position and second position is acquired by Haryana. 386 rupees per quintal is given for sugarcane in Haryana. UP and Uttarakhand farmers are paid at the rate of 350 rupees per quintal. 

Farmers will get profit of this much rupees per quintal 

For your knowledge, let you know that state farmers have been demanding to increase the price of sugarcane for the past many days. State had been paying 380 rupees per quintal which has been increased to 391 rupees in present. At present, farmers will be getting 11 rupees extra per quintal after this decision. The Punjab government has decided this after the demands of farmers of the state. 

It will be proven as a beneficial decision to farmers 

Sugarcane farmers were demanding an increase in the price for a very long time.

 Sugarcane farmers are continuously demanding price increase

As we all know, there is a continuous demand from farmers to increase the SAP of sugarcane. However, its price has increased in the state over the years. In Uttar Pradesh, the last time before the 2022 assembly elections, the sugarcane price was increased to Rs 350 and Rs 360 per quintal. In the meeting of the State Consulted Sugarcane Pricing Recommendation Committee held on Friday under the chairmanship of Chief Secretary Durga Shankar Mishra, sugarcane farmers demanded a price increase due to the increasing cost of production.

RLD and SP are continuously demanding from the government to increase the sugarcane price. According to many reports, the government may also relieve sugar mills. To reduce the expenses incurred due to the increase in sugarcane prices, the government can provide a facility of one to two rupees in transportation freight to the mills.

 Before the Lok Sabha elections, the Yogi government of Uttar Pradesh gave a gift to the farmers by increasing the price of sugarcane in the state by Rs 20 per quintal. However, BKU leader Rakesh Tikait is calling it a joke with the farmer. Rakesh Tikait, while talking to the media, Chaudhary Rakesh Tikait, National Spokesperson of the Farmers Union, said, " The price of sugarcane announced today by the Uttar Pradesh government is not enough. Farmers are disappointed with the increase of only Rs 20. Farmers of the state of Haryana Like I was expecting sugarcane prices to be declared above Rs 400 because the expenditure on farming is increasing every day. In proportion to this, farmers are not getting fair price for the crop."

Tractor parade will be held on 26th January

He said that on January 26, we will take out the tractor parade at block and tehsil level across the country. We had also taken out a tractor parade during the farmers' movement in Delhi. Along with the Bharat Bandh on 16th February, the farmers of the country will not do all the farming work for one day. Tikait said that the Bharatiya Kisan Union is pending. Regarding all its demands, it will organize a one-day Kisan Mahapanchayat on March 14 in the country's capital Delhi, in which farmers from all over the country will participate.

The future of farmers will be decided by the movement, not the government – ​​BKU

Before this, the national spokesperson of Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) Chaudhary Rakesh Tikait said that the future of the farmers will be decided not by the government but by the movement. Whoever forms the government at the Centre, the voice of the farmers will have to be heard. He said that our organization is apolitical. We have no active role in the Lok Sabha elections. Capitalism is dominating the country. Farmers' children do not have employment. They are making their living by selling land. Farmers get the lowest level of health facilities. Under compulsion, lakhs of farmers are becoming landless and becoming laborers.

 
How many times did the Yogi government increase the price of sugarcane?
