Preparations for cotton sowing intensified in Alwar, bumper yield expected due to scientific technology
After harvesting of Rabi crops in Alwar and Khairthal-Tijara, farmers have now intensified preparations for sowing cotton. According to agricultural experts, this time the main time for cotton sowing will be from the last week of April to the first week of May. The activities of sowing 'white gold' in the fields have started at a rapid pace.
Farmers are doing deep plowing of the fields after harvesting mustard and wheat and paying special attention to maintaining moisture in the soil through paleva (irrigation). Agricultural experts say that the right level of moisture is very important for the germination and initial growth of cotton.
This time farmers are giving priority to the use of local manure so that the quality of the soil is maintained and production capacity increases.
Scientific suggestions for disease control
Agricultural scientists have advised special management to prevent root rot disease. In areas where this problem is prevalent, it is recommended to mix 6 kg zinc sulphate per bigha of soil before sowing.
Apart from this, emphasis has been laid on the use of Trichoderma for biological control.
It is beneficial to add 2.5 kg Trichoderma hargenium to the soil along with rotten cow dung manure.
Seed treatment required at the rate of 10 grams Trichoderma per kilogram of seeds.
Production will increase with improved varieties
Agricultural experts have advised farmers to adopt improved and certified varieties, which include RG-8, RG-18, HD. 123 more secrets are included. These varieties are more tolerant towards pests and are capable of giving better production.
Emphasis on crop residue management
Instead of burning stubble, farmers have been advised to mix crop residues with the soil using rotavators or cultivators. This increases organic carbon in the soil and improves water holding capacity.
Overall, with scientific technology and better agricultural management, good cotton production is expected in Alwar region this time.
