Advisory for intercultural operations

Main  crops
STAGE
Agricultural Advisory
APPLE/STONE FRUITS (PLUM, APRICOT, PEACH)
Dormancy
·         Dormancy due to cold weather has stopped sap flow in plants hence start pruning and training operations.  Apply bordaux or Chaubatia paste on the pruning cuts.  Apply recommended dose of FYM, Single Super Phosphate and Muriate of Potash in the plant basins. Plant grafted seedlings as soil moisture is sufficient to enhance their establishment.
SUB TROPICAL FRUITS (PAPAYA, BANANA, MANGO, GAUVA)
Vegetative with slow growth rate
·         Protect the plants of 4-5 years age by covering with dry and Sarkanda grass by keeping Eastward side open for proper sun light and air. 
·         For establishing new orchards select frost resistant varieties only.
Vegetables (CAULIFLOWER, CABBAGE, PEAS)
Vegetative in peas head formation  & initiation stage in cabbage and cauliflower
·         Soil moisture due to recent rains is optimum for enhancing vegetation growth of winter vegetables.
·         Apply last dose of cane (10kg/bigha) in cabbage and cauliflower
·         In cauliflower chances of emergence of downy mildew has increased due to prevailing weather conditions.  Infested plant may show brown colour spot in underside the leaves.  Apply Redomil-MZ (25g/100 litre water).
·         The occurrence of frost may cause black rot disease in cauliflower which has also been noticed in some areas of Solan. To control it spray Mancozeb (25 g) with Streptocycline (1 g/10 litre of water).
·         Harvest leafy vegetables
wheat
Tillering
·         Soil moisture is favourable for tillering of wheat crop and hence apply second split dose of nitrogen.
LIVESTOCK
Lactation phase
·         The night temperature in the region has decreased considerably. The present chill may create tension in the animals.  To overcome, this tension animal use more body heat as a result milk production is decreased.  Supply high energy food and lukewarm water to the animals.
·         In case of milking animal, udder should be washed with lukewarm water containing salt for 10-15 minutes before milking so as to increase blood circulation toward udder and ultimately milk production.
