Advisory to farmers:


  • In present weather conditions, constant monitoring for brown plant hopper (BPH) in paddy field is advised.
  • Spray Azadirachtin 0.03% 400 ml (Or) Flubendiamide 20% WG 50g per acre in 200 litres of water in case of Stem borer and spray Acephate 75 % SP 400 ml (Or) Spray Azadirachtin 0.03% 400ml per acre in 200 litres of water in case of Leaf folder.
  • In case of blast disease infestation in paddy, top dressing of Nitrogenous fertilizer application is not advisable.
  • It is recommended to check for fruit and shoot borer attack in brinjal, and spray 80 ml Coragen 18.5 SC or 80 g Proclaim 5SG in 100-125 liters of water per acre.
  • Cotton picking is advisable during this period.
  • Paddy farmers are advised to harvest their crop soon after maturity, and start preparing the land for Rabi sowing.
  • These final showers are favourable for rabi sowing, as it adds up to the soil moisture.
  • Farmers of Punjab, Haryana UP and MP etc., are advised to prepare land for sowing of Wheat, Mustard and other rabi crops like potato and chickpea.
  • Pre-sowing of Rabi Sorghum can be started, and treat the seeds by dipping them in desi cow urine (25% i.e. 250ml cow urine in 1000ml of water) for 8 hours followed by shade drying and then sown. This aids in uniform sprouting of seeds and also in yield.
  • Storage of harvested pulses can be done by Bruchid Management system in the storage in order to protect the seeds from the ravage of bruchids.
  • Farmers are advised to take up seed treatment measures by the use of non-drying oils such as Castor oil and Honge oil (10gm) per kg of seeds.

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

The best season to grow potatoes is between October and December.  This year could witness sharp fall in production of Potatoes and prices could remain firm through the season. 2 Major Factors are; Factor1: Low temperatures Winter of 2021-22 has been very harsh in North India for long stretches.  Comparison minimum of temperatures for last 7 years which represents major producing districts can be seen from chart below: Temperatures in 2021-22 have persistently be lower than that of corresponding period in 2020-21 An Ideal temperature for growing potatoes is between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius. Anything lower or higher than this range means the potato growth gets affected. When temperatures drop drastically the potato grows at a slower rate. And this happens due to lower oxidation levels which invariably leads to lessened tubular growth. F
