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 midew, take up spraying of 1 ml Dipenconazone dissolved in one liter of water. Repeat
the same spray after 15 days.
To manage mosaic virus disease, remove and destroy the affected palnts ns then take up spraying of 0.25
Imidachloprid ( 17.8 SL) dissolved in one liter of water.
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 root grub, mix 10 kg of Metrazium in dry and friable farm yard manure and broadcast in one acre
of land.
To control 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 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 wilt and sterility mosaic diseases, take up spraying of 2 gram Carbandizeme and 2 ml Dicofal
dissolved in one liter of water.
To manage thrips, take up spraying of 1.7 ml Dimethoate (30 EC) dissolved in one liter of water.

spraying of micro nutrients viz., 1 g. Zinc Sulphate + 1 g. Magnessium Sulphate + 1 g. Barax + 1
g. Calcium dissolved in one liter of water.
Remove the dried twigs and branches and then take up spraying of 1 % Bordo

The weather is good for taking up pruning in grapes. So, pruning may be taken up.
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.
To manage leaf spot disease take up spraying of 1 ml Hexaconazole dissolved in
one liter of water.
GADAG
Plant Protection : Take up plant protection measures.
Sowing : Sowing of
Chickpea and under irrigated condition wheat may be taken up
Harvesting : Harvest the matured groundnut crop may be taken 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.
