Farm Operations for April 1995

摘要

For the control of weeds, use bullock drawn or tractor drawn implements. However, for the control of dila, post-emergence application of 2,4-D sodium salt 80% @ 800 g per acre in 200-225 litres of water is recommended. Irrigate the sugarcane crop at 7-12 days interval for getting better growth of the crop. Apply 120 kg CAN or 65 kg urea to ratoon crop. Irrigation may be given after the application of fertilizer. The attack of black bug in sugarcane can be checked by spraying 350 ml Thiodan 35 EC (Endosulfan) or 225 ml Sumithion/Folithion 50 EC (Fenitrothion) in 250 litres of water per acre. Direct the spray material into the leaf whorl.
