Advisory to Farmers:

Farmers are advised to complete the sowing of Toria and Mustard. Make proper arrangements for water conservation around the field.
Before sowing the mustard seeds, it should be treated with Carbendazim @ 2 gm/kg or Thiram @ 3 gm/kg of seed.
Nursery preparation can be started for the cauliflower varieties and raise the seedlings in shade net house.
To control Neck Blast diseases in paddy first drain out excess water from the paddy field. Spray Hexaconazole @ 400-ml/acre or Azoxystrobin+ Difenoconazole @ 200-ml/acre or Tebuconazole + Trifloxystrobin @ 80-gram/acre.
Stop irrigating the paddy crop before a fortnight to maintain the optimum grain moisture, facilitate easy harvesting and timely sowing of succeeding crop in the same field.
Farmers are advised to harvest maize as soon as the crop matures to avoid damage due to rain, and store them in a dry and safe place.

Technology - Advising Farmers and Crop Yield Assesment

Food security in the light of climate change is a global imperative. In developing nations, the problem is exacerbated by variable weather, lack of reliable extension services to optimize yield and fair market access. In India, most farmers do not have access to weather advisory forecasts that are hyper local to their field and timely in nature. As all farming activities are heavily dependent on weather, decisions on application of fertilizers and pesticide, irrigation, and even plucking of fruits & vegetables and harvesting cannot be taken efficiently. In addition, significant crop losses, that are entirely preventable, accrue through adverse weather events. Crop advisory services, where available, are generic and not pegged to a farmer's seed variety, date of sowing, and growing conditions and hence do not dispense timely, actionable advice, directly relevant to a farmer. Likewise, market trends pertinent to their particular crop and location ...
