Weather based Agro Advisories
• Plant Protection : Plant protection measures may be taken up mixing adhesive gum in the spray mixture.
Sowing : Moderate amount of rainfall has been received at most of places in the district during the past week and as per the forecast there is
chance of vary light rainfall at some places in the district during the next five days. Sowing of Sunflower, safflower rabi Jawar and
chickpea may be taken up.
•
•
•
•
•
Treat the seeds of sunflower and sorghum with Azospirillum + PSB and Capton or Thiram or Carbandizeme at the rate of 2 gram per Kg of
seeds or Trichoderma at the rate of 4 gram per Kg of seed before sowing. This will facilitate better growth of crop and also avoid the
diseases that may attack the crop.
Take up sowing of wheat and diccocum wheat under irrigated conditions.
Keep the land and inputs ready for sowing of wheat under rainfed conditions.
Give preference for fodder crops to avoid shortage of fodder to animals.
The weather is good for taking up pruning in grapes. So, pruning may be taken up.
Soil and moisture conservation :
•
•
Sow the crop in rows across the slope. This will facilitate better conservation of moisture in the soil.
Take up repair of bunds, check dams and water storage structures
Livestock management :
•
•
Vaccinate livestock against Foot and Mouth disease (FMD vaccination), Black Quarter disease (BC vaccination) and Haemorrhagic
Septcaemia.
Maintain sufficient moisture in the Vermin-compost pits.
•
Vaccinate (ET vaccine) sheep and goats against Enterotoximia.

Before sowing, soak the every one Kg of sunflower seeds in a solution prepared by dissolving 30 g
of Calcium Chloride in 1.5 liter of water for 6 hours, shade dry and treat with Imidachloprid
insecticide at the rate of 5.0 g and Azospirilum at the rate of 40 g of per Kg of seed. This will
improve the germination percentage, vigour of the seedlings and yield. In addition, it will induce
drought resistance in the crop and also help to save 25 per cent Nitrogen requirement of the crop.
To avoid moisture shortage, take up sowing in wider rows of 120 to 135 cm.
To manage leaf eating caterpillers, first remove and destroy the leaves having clusters of egg or
caterpillers and then take up spraying of take up spraying of 2.0 ml Quinolphos or 0.3 ml
Indaxicarb dissolved in one liter of water.
To manage, powdery mildew, take up spraying of 1 ml Dipenconazole dissolved in one liter of
water. Repeat the same spray after 15 days.
Soak the seeds in a solution prepared by dissolving 30 g of Calcium Chloride in 1.5 liter of water
for 8 hours, shade dry. This will improve the germination, seedling vigour and manage shoot fly
incidence. In addition, it will induce drought resistance in the crop and also help to save 25 per
cent Nitrogen requirement of the crop. After this, treat the seeds with Azospirilum (500 gram for
7.5 kg seeds) + PSB + Capton (2 gram/kg of seed) or Trichoderma ( 4 gram/kg of seed). This will
help to manage the pests and diseases that may infest the crop.
In deep black soils, which can hold more moisture, sow BJV-44 variety to get hifger yields
Sow the crop in 60 cm row spacing
Before sowing, soak the seeds being used for one acre in 2 per cent Calcium Chloride for
30minits and shade dry for 7 hours to induce drought resistance in the seed. After this treat the
seeds with 500 gram Rhizobium and 500 gram Phosphrus solubilising bacteria. This will improve
the germination percentage, vigour of the seedlings and yield. In addition, it will induce drought
resistance in the crop and also help to save 25 per cent Nitrogen requirement of the crop.
To manage deforming and dropping of bolls, take up spraying of 5 gram Potassium Nitrate
dissolved in one liter of water.
To manage root grub, mix 10 kg of Metrazium in dry and friable farm yard
manure and broadcast in one acre of land.
To contraol Pod borer insect, the following measures should be followed.
• Erect the branched wooden poles (taller then the crop) in redgram field so as to
facilitate the birds to sit on it and they can easily see the larvae of Heliothis pod
borer and eat them.
• Install 4-5 Furomen traps in ane acre of pigeonpea field. If more then 10 moths
are found per trap or one to two eggs or one larva of pets are found on the
flowering plant, then take up contarol measures.
• If more then one egg of the pest are noticed per plant, take up spraying of ovicidal
insecticide Methomyl 40 SP, 0.75 gram or Prophenophas 50 EC, 2 ml dissolved
in one liter of water.
• If more then one larvae are found per plant- shake the plant vigorously- collect
the larvae fallen on the ground and kill them.
• Remove the grown up larvae by hand picking and kill.
• As second spray, spray the crop with 5 per cent neem seed extract or 0.5 per cent
•
•
•
•
•
To manage wilt and sterility mosaic diseases, take up spraying of 2 gram Carbandizeme
and 2 ml Dicofal dissolved in one liter of water.
To manage leaf webbing pests (Moruka), take up spraying of 2 ml Prophenophas + 0.5 ml
Noval dissolved in one liter of water.

chilli extract or 0.25 per cent garlic extract. If the neem seeds are not available,
then, take up spraying of any neem based insecticide at the rate of 2 ml per liter of
water.
As a third spray, take up spraying of NPV, bio insecticide, at the rate of 100 LE
per acre i.e., 0.75 ml per liter of water. Mix 100 gram blue powder and 500 gram
Jaggery to the solution being used for one acre. Take up spraying in the early
morning or late evening hours.
As a fourth spray, take up spraying of 1 ml Monocrotophos or 2.5 ml
Chlorpyriphos or 2 ml Quinolphos dissolved in one liter of water.
Do not use the same insecticide repeatedly.
Purchase the insecticides from authorized seller only.
Use only hand operated pumps for spraying. Do not use power sprayer or battery
operated pumps.
Remove the grown up larvae by hand picking and kill
To manage Phytopthera Blight, take up spraying of 2.5 g Ridomyl Gold dissolved
in one liter of water.
To manage Thrips, take up spraying of 1.7 ml Dimethoate or 0.5 ml Phsphomidon
dissolved in one liter of water.
To manage purple blotch disease and thrips, take up spraying of 1.0 ml
Hexoconazole + 0.25 Acetamaprid dissolved in one liter of water.
To manage sucking pests spray the crop with, 1.75 ml Dimetoate or 2.5 ml Chlorpyriphos or 2 ml

HORTICULTURE CROPS:
To manage Bacterial blight disease in pomegranate, spray the crop with Streptomycin Sulphate
0.5 g. + Copper oxy-chloride 2 g. + 2 g. Blitox dissolved in one liter water. Then take up
spraying of micro nutrients viz., 1 g. Zinc Sulphate + 1 g. Magnessium Sulphate + 1 g. Barax + 1

in one liter of water or spray with 3 per cent bio-digester solution.
Before taking up October pruning, remove the dead bark of the main stem of the
vine by rubbing with gunny bag and then apply 5 per cent need based insecticide
or smear the past prepared by dissolving 50 gram Carbary in one liter of water to
the stem.
After pruning, smear 2 per cent Hydrogen Cynamide paste to the terminal 3-4
buds. This will facilitate, sprouting of buda.
To manage fungal diseases, take up spraying of 1 per cent Bordax mixture 2-3
days after pruning and to manage Anthracnose disease, take up spraying of I ml
Thiophenate Methyl dissolved in one liter of water.
To manage leaf curl disease take up spraying of 1 gram Acetamaprid dissolved
in four liter of water.

GADAG
Plant Protection : Take up plant protection measures carefully only during morning hours mixing adhesive gum in the
spraying mixture.
Sowing : Moderate amount of rainfall has been received at many places during the previous week and as per the
forecast there is possibility of light amount of rainfall at many places during the next five days. Making best use of the situation
sowing of sunflower, Chickpea, Safflower, Rabi Sorghum may be taken up
Rabi sowing : Prepare the land for sowing of and wheat
Harvesting : Harvest the matured groundnut and maize crop may be taken and pods/grains should be sundried before
storing up after five days, since there is possibility of rainfall during the coming five days.
Soil and moisture conservation :
•

Take up repeated intercultivation in already sown crops to conserve soil moisture and to control weeds.
Repair of bunds, water retention structures should be taken up.
