Nagaur With the rain, the process of sowing of kharif has started in Nagaur district. Farmers are sowing finger, chilli and vine crops in the fields, but at the same time the possibility of pest attacks in these crops has also increased. At this time, harmful insects like mite, jacids and hopes become rapidly active in the fields. In such a situation, to protect the crop from these pests, vigilance and timely spraying of medicine are very important.

Agriculture expert Dinesh Jakhar has warned the farmers to continuously monitor the fields during this rainy season. If the number of pests is found more, then spray the amount of 0.5 ml per liter of imidacloprid 17.8 SC. However, this spraying should be done only when the sky is clear. The use of pesticides during cloudy or rain can damage the crop.

How to protect crops from termites and white braids

Dinesh Jakhar said that the fruit garden farmers should add cow dung manure to the pits and fill 5 milliliters in one liter of water and fill it in the pits. This will prevent termites and white braids. At this time, light plowing of fields is also beneficial so that rain water can be preserved. With this, the salts collected during use in rabi crops will move out of the root area.
