Optimal Time for Summer Moong Sowing Until March 31: Know Pest and Disease Control Measures for Tomato, Chili, Garlic, and Onion

According to agricultural scientists, by using improved varieties, seed treatment, and modern techniques, summer moong crop can yield 10-12 quintals per hectare.

Improved Varieties, Seed Rate, and Suitable Sowing Time:

1. Improved Varieties: IPM-205-7 (Viraat), IPM-410-3 (Shikha), MH-421, PDM-139, IPM-302-2 (Kanika), KM-2342 (Azad Moong-1).
2. Seed Rate: 25 kg per hectare
3. Optimal Sowing Time: Until March 31

Seed Treatment and Disease Management for Moong:

Yellow Mosaic Virus Control: Before sowing, treat seeds with Thiamethoxam 30 FS (10 ml per kg of seed) or Imidacloprid 48 FS (1.25 ml per kg of seed). Remove and destroy infected plants immediately. Avoid cultivating okra, brinjal, and tomato near the moong crop. Do not use synthetic pyrethroid insecticides. In the early stages, spray Thiamethoxam 25 WG or Acetamiprid 20 SP at 60 grams per acre.

Fertilizer and Nutrient Management:

Moong crops require 20 kg nitrogen, 50 kg phosphorus, and 20 kg potash per hectare.
Additionally, use DAP (108 kg per hectare), MOP (33 kg per hectare), NPK (12:32:16) – 156 kg per hectare, NPK (20:20:0:13) – 250 kg per hectare and MOP (34 kg per hectare).

Pest and Disease Control: Control of Sucking Pests: Spray Fipronil SC (150 ml per hectare) or Fipronil 40% WG + Imidacloprid 40% WG (150 g per hectare) or Acetamiprid 20 SP (125 g per hectare).
Caterpillar Control: Apply Novaluron 5.25% SC + Indoxacarb 5.50% SC (850 ml per hectare) or Emamectin Benzoate 5% + Lufenuron 40% (75 g per hectare) or Broflanilide 300% SC (42-62 g per hectare).

Pest and Disease Control in Tomato, Chili, Garlic, and Onion:

1. Tomato Fruit Borer Control: Use Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG (1 g per 2 liters of water) or Spinosad 45% SC (1 ml per 4 liters of water).
2. Tomato Blight Control: Spray Mancozeb 75% WP (2 g per liter of water).
3. Thrips Control in Garlic and Onion: Apply Profenofos 50 EC (1 ml per liter of water).
4. Purple Blotch Disease in Onion: Use Copper Oxychloride 50% WP (2.5 g per liter of water).
5. Fruit Rot Disease in Chili: Apply Mancozeb 75% WP (2 g per liter of water).
6. Damping-off Disease in Chili: Spray Carbendazim 50% WP (2 g per liter of water).
