MAJOR CROPS STAGE PEST &

DISEASES ADVISORY

General

As total rainfall of 334.0 mm is predicted spraying of agricultural chemicals should be avoided

Maintain adequate drainage channels in the fields.

Use MEGHDOT apps for Weather and Agro Advisory Bulletin..

Rice After Transplanting After transplanting of rice apply pre-emergence

herbicide Butachlor (50 EC) @ 700 -800 ml per

acre within 3-5 days after transplanting in standing

water.

Soyabean After Sowing Maintain proper drainage channels and manage

weeds in the field.

Large

cardamom Fruiting Stage

Cardamom field should be kept clean; weeds should

be removed so that the fruiting bunch can't be

damaged by rats and rodents.

Mandarin

Orange Fruiting stage

Maintain proper drainage system as total rainfall of

334.0 mm is forecasted. Water stagnation in

orchards should be avoided to prevent Phytopthora

incidence. If Phytopthora infection is observed,

then the infected portion should be scrapped and

burnt then the wound should be painted with

Copper fungicide/ Bordeaux mixture.

Ginger Vegetative stage

Weeding should be done. Maintain adequate drainage

facilities to prevent soft rot and wilt complex

diseases. If infected clumps are seen, then the

infected clumps should be uprooted and destroyed.

Apply bleaching powder in the uprooted area only.

Turmeric Vegetative stage Mulching should be done to conserve ridges and

control weeds. Maintain adequate drainage facilities

Animal

Husbandry

(Cattle)

Regular cleaning of cattle shed is essential during

rainy season. To clean the cattle shed use bleaching

powder or calcium carbonate.

Terai-Teesta Alluvial Zone Advisory

General ** Expectations of cloudy sky and Medium rainfall in the coming five days. Complete the rice

transplantation as early as possible. Make proper drainage channel in the field, avoid spraying

operations while it's raining. As per the previous week, NDVI from 15th to 21st July data the

agricultural vigour is in moderate condition (0.2-0.4) and agricultural vigor is also good. As per

SPI (Standardised Precipitation Index) from 1st June to 22nd July 2020 value, the district is

moderately wet to moderately dry conditions. Use MEGHDHOOT mobile application for more

advice about weather and agriculture, and use DAMINI mobile application for timely updates

about lightning from google play store free of cost. For the COVID 19 pandemic situation farmers

are requested no to work in a group, consult with a doctor in case of any symptom. Please stay at

home do not visit the field until it is necessary.

NDVIshows moderate to good crop vigour in different places ofJalpaiguri district. According to SPI mild

wet condition is experienced in the district.

Prepare the main field for the transplantation of Aman paddy with

proper levelling for uniform distribution of water and fertilizer.

Apply well rotten FYM 1 tonne/bigha. Seedlings will be ready to

transplant at 21 days of age. Apply one third of Urea and full dose of

Phosphorus and Potash uniformly while final land preparation. If

seedlings are completely damaged then short duration variety can be

cultivated. As there is chances of decrease in rainfall transplanting

must be done immediately when the water content in the field is

acceptable. If the upper leaves of the seedlings in the nursery are

turning yellow it may be due to iron deficiency. If the upper leaves

are yellow and bottom is green then it’s the deficiency of calcium,

for this sprinkle 0.5% ferrous sulfate + 0.25% lime solution when the

sky is clear. After reduction of rainfall mechanical weeding can be

started to control the weed at initial stage. For chemical control (only

if the sky is clear and no rainfall 7 to 8 hours after application) you

can spray Pretilachlor 50% EC @500 gm per acre within 2-5 days

after transplanting. Due to stagnation of water in the field and high

relative humidity Sheath blight - Fungal disease is common. Excess

Nitrogen fertilizer application can accelerate this disease. August to

October is the high time for this disease attack. Control: 1) Drainout

excess water from infected field. 2) Reduce the dose of Nitrogen

fertilizer. 3) Bio fungiside like Trichoderma, Pseudomonas

Fluorescens is also good. 4) Spray Propiconazol+ Difenoconazole

1ml/liter of water or Carbendazim + Flusilazole 1.5 ml/lit or

Carbendazim ( Bavistin) 1 gram/liter of water.

Harvesting

Jute should be harvested at the start of fruit setting; for Tita Jute and

Mitha Jute it is 90- 120DAS & 120-140DAS respectively. 2-3

Jute

retting Sesbania plant should be mixed with every jute bundle for better

retting. For every unit of jute, 20 unit of water is required.To get

good quality of fiber 3-4 kg CRIJAF SONA bio-fertizer can be

applied for one bigha of jute.

Brinjal Fruiting/

Harvest

If the fruits are 80% mature you are advised to collect the matured

fruits. In the time of flowering may be the lower leaves may turn in

brown colour and black patches in fruits. Spray 1-gram

Carbendazim/ liter of water when the sky will be clear. In time of

fruiting and flowering if the whole plant dried up then remove the

infected plants from the field

Control: 1) If infestation is high then you can apply 10 kg/ acre

Fenvalerate 0.4% dust or Cholrpyriphos 1.5% dust spray on the

leaves. 2) You can spray Cholrpyriphos+ Cypermethrin 1.5 ml/lit of

water or Cholrpyriphos 2,5 ml/lit of water. Symptom: Stem of

To control Fruit and Stem Borer collect affected plant parts

and fruit and burn it. Set up light traps and pheromone traps to

monitor the moths and their egg-laying @ 1- 2/Bigha. Spray B.t

formulation 5% WP such as dipel @ 1.5 g / lit of water

Chili Thrips Cover the seedlings with Polythene to protect from rain,

make proper drainage channel to drain out stagnant water. While

planting the seedlings in the main field apply neem compost @35 kg/

or Etofenprox 10 EC @ 1ml/lit of water when the sky will be clear.

Name of

Animal

Disease

Do not allow animals to get wet during rainy season.

Never let a cow or goat graze in a place where there is

standing water.It should be noted that cows or goats

should not take paddy in any way at this time. If it takes a

lot of paddy and the stomach starts to swell, then feed a

spoonful of mustard oil. It will stop the production of gas

in the stomach. In addition, blotocil or blotonil should be

given in certain doses. If necessary, take the advice of a

nearby veterinarian

Poultry Round worm and Tape worm Never allow chickens or ducks to eat wet or damp feed

during this rainy season. It is very important to provide

particular amount of dewormers for both round worm

and tape worm to any cattle, goats or poultry at this time.

Fishery Bacterial Diseases Please keep clean the pond & apply lime as per

recommendation (Water & soil testing) Indian major carp

& Foreign carp can be released in pond @ 2000 pieces

fingerling. Please maintain the recommended ratio.

Complementary feed must be given regularly. Don’t use

excess feed to avoid water pollution

recommended. In recently transplanted Paddy seedlings (10-

Byspirac Sodium salt can be applied at the rate of 27

Farmers should immediately harvest their jute crop, keep jute

bundles in

the field for 3 to 4 days for leaf shedding, as leaves after

decomposition

will add organic matter and some amount of plant nutrients in

the soil. Do

not use banana stems as covering material over the jak. Direct

use of mud

or soil over the ‘jak’ also leads to poor quality fibre which

should be

avoided, instead, farmers can keep the mud or soil in the old

cement or

fertilizer bags as weighing material. Farmers can use reusable

plastic bags

filled with water as weighing material over jak for better fibre

quality.

Farmers can use “CRIJAF Sona” for faster retting with quality

improvement and higher fibre recovery @ 4 kg/ bigha

(30kg/ha)of

harvested jute plants. CRIJAF Sona should be applied during

the

preparation of jak at each layer of jute plants.
