Spray These Medicines to Protect Wheat and Chickpea Crops from Pests and Diseases

Rabi crops like wheat and chickpea are currently facing threats from diseases and pest infestations due to changing weather conditions. The Department of Agriculture is actively monitoring farmers’ fields, identifying crop-related issues, and providing effective solutions.

Threat of Diseases and Pests in Chickpea:

Chickpea crops are increasingly vulnerable to diseases and pest infestations. A drop in minimum temperatures has disrupted the photosynthesis process, causing plants to turn yellow and wither. Additionally, infestations of pod borer caterpillars, wilt disease, and root rot have been observed, posing significant economic risks to farmers.

Preventive Measures for Chickpea Crops:

1. Farmers are advised to take the following steps to protect their chickpea crops:
2. Use Chlorantraniliprole + Lambda Cyhalothrin (80 ml/acre).
3. Combine this with Fluopyram + Pyraclostrobin (150 ml/acre) or
4. Azoxystrobin + Tebuconazole (150 ml/acre).
5. Mix the selected pesticide with NPK 19:19:19 (1 kg/acre) and prepare a solution in 150 liters of water for spraying.

Threat of Diseases and Pests in Wheat: Wheat crops are also under attack from root aphids and cutworms. These pests cause the crop to turn yellow and wither, adversely affecting vegetative growth and earhead development.

Preventive Measures for Wheat Crops:

1. Apply Emamectin Benzoate + Profenofos (200 g/acre).
2. Mix this with NPK 19:19:19 (1 kg/acre) in 150 liters of water and spray over the crop.
3. Stay in regular contact with agriculture department officials for expert advice on crop protection.

Advice to Farmers: The Department of Agriculture advises farmers to inspect their fields regularly and stay in touch with agricultural experts for timely guidance. It is also recommended to follow scientific methods for pesticide application to minimize crop losses effectively.
