Suitability of the variety for the Area Agro Climatic Zone
All India
Selection of the field/land preparation practices
Field should be well prepared free from weeds and well drainage facility. 1-2 deep ploughing, Soil should be exposed to sunlight, 3 to 4 rounds of harrows to reach fine tilt. Before final harrow, apply 8 to 10 MT well decomposed FYM
Seed Treatment-rate of timing/ chemical
Seed is already treated with Cyantraniliprole +Thiamethoxam + Thiram/Matalaxyl-M
Sowing Time
Kharif and Rabi
Seed Rate/ Sowing method- line sowing with row to row and plant to plant distance/ direct sowing
Seed Rate: 2.0 - 2.5 Kg per acre. Sowing: Line sowing is recommended in ridges and furrows. We can go for direct sowing as well as Nursery raising. Distance between two rows: 60 cm (2 feets) apart, Distance between Plant to Plant : 30 cm (1 feet), Seeds are sown in line at 2.0-3.0 cm deep Transplanting: Transplanting should be done @ 20-25 days after sowing. Plant population should be maintained 20000 to 22000 per acre
Fertilizer dose with timing
Intial: 50 Kg DAP + 50 Kg MOP + 10 Kg Microbutrient Per Acre Top Dressing (After 20 Days): 50 Kg Urea+ 10 Kg Magnisium Sulphate + 10 Kg Zinc Sulphate Top Dressing (After 40 Days): 50 Kg DAP + 25 Kg Urea Top Dressing (After 55 Days): 50 Kg Urea (requirement based)
Weed Control- Chemicals with doses and timing
Timely weed removal is very important, need based hand weeding can be done to ensure healthy crop.
Diseases & Pest control- Chemicals with doses and timing
Seed is already treated with Cyantraniliprole +Thiamethoxam + Thiram/Matalaxyl-M.
For further protection from FAW and other insects follow below schedule: 1. Pheromone Traps (After 7-10 Days): 10-12 Traps per acre 2. Spray (After 15- 20 Day): Thiamethaxam 12.6% + Lambda-Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC (50 ml per acre) or Spinetoram 11.7% SC (100 ml per acre) or chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC (80 ml per acre) or Emamectin Benzoat 5% SG (80 gm per acre) 3. Spray (After 25- 30 Day): Thiamethaxam 12.6% + Lambda-Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC (50 ml per acre) or Spinetoram 11.7% SC (100 ml per acre) or chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC (80 ml per acre) or Emamectin Benzoat 5% SG (80 gm per acre) 4. Spray (After 35-40 Days): Thiamethaxam 12.6% + Lambda-Cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC (50 ml per acre) or Spinetoram 11.7% SC (100 ml per acre) or chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC (80 ml per acre) or Emamectin Benzoat 5% SG (80 gm per acre)
For NCLB control follow below schedule: Bavsitin 3 to 4 gms/ltr ; Tilt @ 1 ml/lt water Spray Amistar top @ 1ml/lit 25-30 days stage / as per appearance
Irrigation Schedule
Irrigation Frequency Depends upon -
A. Soil type: Light soils need more frequency. Heavy soils needs less frequency.
B. Crop stage: Vegetative stage: maintain adequate moisture for the development of roots. Flowering & fruiting - frequent and shallow irrigation. Harvesting - gradually reduce irrigation during harvesting
C. Growing season: Summer - requires frequent irrigation. Winter- As against summer season, in winter the irrigation frequency is longer. Rainy - very less frequency depending up on soil moisture
Harvesting
Full mature yellow cob starts harvesting at 78-85 days
