Agromet Advisory


As per the forecast of Hailstorm/thundersquall with wind speed exceeding 45 KMPH, Farmers are advised:
1.      To use hail net for orchard crops to protect from mechanical damage. Also provide mechanical support to young fruit plants and vegetables to prevent the crops from lodging due to strong winds.
2.      Keep already harvested crops at safe places.
Keep cattle/goats indoor during thundersquall / hailstorm

Monitor the crop to record the attack of aphid. If aphid population crosses the Economic Threshold Level (ETL) viz. 5 aphids per plant then spray Thiamethoxam 25WG@20g/acre
------------
OIL SEED----
Ø      To manage the incidence of Alternaria blight in rapeseed and mustard, spray Blitox or Indofil M-45 @250g in 100liters of water/acre followed by second spray of Score 25 EC @100ml and third spray of Blitox or Indofil M-45 @250g in 100liters water/acre at 15 days interval.
