MAJOR CROPS STAGE PEST & DISEASES ADVISORY

General - -

In coming five days rather heavy to heavy rainfall on 4th May and moderate rainfall on 5th 6th May and light rainfall on 7th May, no rainfall on 8th May have been forecasted. So, proper drainage channel should be maintained.

Large cardamom Vegetative Stage - Mulching should be done to conserve soil moisture and

control weeds.

Mandarin Orange Vegetative stage -

For establishing of new orchard, pit preparation should be completed, avoid spraying during rains and stagnation of water in the orchard, proper drainage channel should be maintained.

Okra Seedling stage - Field should be weed free and irrigation is not recommended in coming five days as 75.0 mm of rainfall have been forecasted.

Animal Husbandry

(Pig ) - -

Piglets are highly susceptible to pneumonia in winter months. The symptoms are high fever (104-105°F), anorexia, difficulty in breathing etc. For treatment give antibiotics, paracetamol and vitamin after consultation with veterinary doctors.

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY & FISHERY

Name of Animal Disease Control measures Cattle and Buffalo

Non specific Diarrhoea, FMD The cattle populations are supposed to suffer from non-specific diarrhea during this, mid rainy season due to water borne infections. Any gut acting antibacterial along with remonetric preparation may lead to satisfactory result. FMD may also consider during this hot humid condition. Appropriate Vaccination coverage. Anthelminitics of course for animals in proper doses is also advisible for better production potentials.

Chicken pox Care for day old chiks with proper brooding, ventilation and management may arrangement reduce the mortality percent. A course of antibacterial for 3-5 days is recommended for pasting vent condition. Immunization against ND (Ranikhet) recommended as scheduled.

Gangetic Alluvial Zone

According to NDVI data sent by IMD agricultural vigour of New Alluvial Zone of West Bengal will be Moderate in the coming week and as per SPI data this zone will face Moderately Wet condition.

Crop Stage Advisory

Start harvesting when 80% maturity of the grain is Observed

Pointed Gourd,cucumber, bitter gourd, watermelon and other cucurbits,

Fruit Setting/

Vegetative

For pointed gourd, cucumber, ridge gourd and bitter gourd periodic hand weeding should be followed. Hand pollination in pointed gourd early in the morning helps to set cent percent fruit. If downy mildew appears in the leaf, alternate spraying with Cymoxanil-Mancozeb (Curzate) (2.5 g/lt) and Fosetyl Al (Alliet) (2.5g/lt) at 10 days interval is very effective.

For whitefly and jassid attack in okra, alternate spray with Acetamiprid 20% SP@1g/3lit. and Thiomithoxam 0.3 SG 1g/3lit. of water will be effective. At early growth stage and during flowering of cucurbits, apply nitrogenous fertilizers. Spray the crop with Fipronil @ 2 ml/lit. of water for jassid attack in watermelon and ash gourd.

Mango and Guava

Fruit growing stage

) Spray either Imidachloprid (Confidor) @ 3ml/10 litres of water or Acetamiprid (Asataf) @ 1 ml/litre of water for controlling mango hopper ii) Irrigation should be done at regular interval if required in all orchards.

Poultry General Care for day old chicks with proper brooding, ventilation and management may reduce morbidity and mortality rate

Fishery

General ) Against Ulcer disease take preventive measure with application f 10-14 kg Lime per bigha fish pond.

ii) For control of Ulcer disease, apply 13 kg Lime per bigha fish pond. Then after 7 days, apply 1.3 kg bleaching powder per bigha fish pond.

iii) In order to avoid bird menace, give net covering over the fish pond. iv) for new pond preparation cultivate Dhaincha
