During the survey conducted by the experts of Punjab Agricultural University 15.07.2024, it has been revealed that the attack of pink beetle on the flowers has been found in some fields on the 60-70 day crop of Narma. While most of the fields with young saplings are free from pink borer attack In Rajasthan and Haryana, the attack of the pink sundi was preceded and now it may attack in the neighboring villages of Punjab as well.
The experts advised the farmers to continuously survey their fields every week and prevent them by spraying pesticides as needed. For prevention of pink blight 500 ml Prafenofos 50 EC (Curacran/Carina) or 100 g Proclam 5 SG (Emamectin Benzoate) or 200 ml Indoxacarb 15 SC (Avant) or 250 g Thiodicarb 75 WP (Larvin) or 800 ml Spray Ethion 50 EC (phosmite) per acre If necessary, spray it again after 7 days Similarly, during the continuous survey of whiteflies in Narama Patti by experts, the attack of this insect has been found above the economic threshold (an average of 6 whiteflies per leaf) in some fields. Farmers are requested not to allow the soft crop to suffer from drought, as whitefly attacks are more common in drought-affected fields. Start spraying for control of soft whitefly when the number of whiteflies in the upper part of the plant reaches 6 per leaf before 10 am. For control of whitefly adults 200 ml Clasto 20 WG (Pyrifluquinazone) or 400 ml Safina 50 DC (Afidopyropin) or 60 g Ocean 20 SG (Dinotafuran) or 200 g Polo/Ruby/Craze/Ludo/Shoku 50 W Spray P (Diafenthiuron) or 80 g Ulala 50 WG (Flonicamid) or 800 ml Fosmite/E-Mite/Walthian/Goldmit 50 EC (Ethane)|500 ml take 10 Spray with EC (pyriproxyfin) or 200 ml Obren/Voltage 22.9 SC (sparomesifin) dissolved in 150 liters of water.
For the prevention of pink blight, farmers are requested to continuously survey their fields every week and spray insecticides as needed. To prevent the spread of whitefly, weeding alternate weeds of whitefly and leaf curl (leaf curl) disease such as comb weed, yellow weed, puthakanda, dhatura, hemp, etc. destroy | Apart from the whitefly, the attack of whitefly is also found on other crops such as brinjal, cucumber, pumpkin, tarr, potato, tomato, chillies, groundnut etc., so do regular survey on these crops. This year, warm season groundnut crop has been sown in a large area in the Narma belt and the whitefly thrives on the groundnut initially and later it invades the adjoining Narma fields and due to favorable weather conditions, its growth slows down. Happens very quickly It is advised to the farmers who are planting sorghum to survey the sorghum fields adjacent to the mangroves and control as necessary. After watering the soft crop first, add the first installment of nitrogen fertilizer so that the crop can grow properly. Do not apply more than the recommended amount of nitrogen fertilizer, as over-fertilization increases the number of sap-sucking insects. Do not let the soft crop suffer from drought, because the attack of whitefly is more in drought fields. Start spraying for control of soft whitefly when the number of whiteflies in the upper part of the plant reaches 6 per leaf before 10 am. For control of whitefly adults 200 ml Clasto 20 WG (Pyrifluquinazone) or 400 ml Safina 50 DC (Afidopyropin) or 60 g Ocean 20 SG (Dinotafuran) or 200 g Polo/Ruby/Craze/Ludo/Shoku 50 W Spray P (Diafenthiuron) or 80 g Ulala 50 WG (Flonicamid) or 800 ml Fosmite/E-Mite/Walthian/Goldmit 50 EC (Ethane)|500 ml take 10 Spray with EC (pyriproxyfin) or 200 ml Obren/Voltage 22.9 SC (sparomesifin) dissolved in 150 liters of water.
