•
Drain the excess water and apply fertilizer to paddy fields .
For samba paddy crop; apply top dressing of Urea (35 kg) + Potash (10kg) + Zinc
sulphate (10 kg) + 7 kg neem cake per acre .
Thinning and gap filling shall be done after fertilizer application to maintain the
population lost due to flooding.

•
There is no rainfall for next 3 days
•
No rainfall is expected in the next 3 days, the farmers are advised to adopt mulching to
conserve moisture.
•
Due to cloudy weather and temperature fluctuation there may be chances for the spread
of blister blight in tea. Farmers are advised to adopt remedial measures.
•
Due to low temperatures/ winter and frost prevailing in the Nilgiris, currently there is no
sowing of crops except for irrigated potato and carrot.
•
Very low temperature is expected, measures may be suitably taken to prevent damages to
crops.

Agro Advisory
Due to prevailing low temperature blast incidence in rice and hence the farmers are
requested to monitor the crop carefully spray tricyclozole @ 1 gm / liter and next spray
may be done after 7 to 10 days with carbendazim @ 1 gm / liter.
Due to continuous wet weather leaf blotch disease in turmeric may be appearing and
control the disease spray tilt @ 1 ml / or carbendazim 1 gm or COC 2.5 gm or mancozep
2.5 gm / litter of water. Above chemicals sprayed rotationally
After draining the water in turmeric field, apply Pseudomonas fluorescence @ 2kg / ha.
Mixed with 20kg of dried organic manure or vermi- compost and uniformly applied to the
field for revitalisation of bacterial population in the soil.
Due to prevailing low temperature is also favourable for leaf folder attack in rice hence
the farmers are requested to monitor the crop carefully and spray if required
choloripyriphos @ 2ml or Acephate @ 2gm or triazophos 2 ml / liter of water. Minimum 2
sprays are required to control the pest effectively.
