Mango Agricultural Tips: How to look after the mango crop after rain and hail, experts say
Due to the recent rains, hail and strong winds, mango crops are likely to spread in many parts of Uttar Pradesh. In such a situation, farmers are advised to take timely action. Uttar Pradesh has one -third of 24 million tonnes of normal production. The main mangoes cultivated in the states are Dussehri, the skirt, Chausa and Amrapali. According to experts, after hail, fruit flies and thrips can attack the crop.
Yields are not affected
Director of ICAR’s Central Subtropical Horticulture Institute Institute, T Damodaran, said that the total yield of mangoes in UP is not affected. But in some areas where mangoes grow, rain and hail can then attack insects. He said the number of fruit flies and thrips in mango crops would increase after rain, as moisture and humidity in the soil is suitable for the growth and activity of these insects. He said farmers need to maintain these pests after the rain.
The use of methyl ezenol trap
Damodaran said that if the first generation of fruit flies is not controlled by the time, their population will continue to grow. It grows rapidly as the main mango crop is ripe. Flies population will increase dangerous until the normal market is sold in the market. To control the insects, the Domodaron methyl Euogenol trap is an effective and environmentally friendly way to handle male fruit fleas, especially in common. These loops are available in the market and can be planted by hung at a height of 1.5 to 2 meters.
Do a toxic fodder with jaggery
He said that jaggery -based toxic fodder can be used to control adult fruit flies. To prepare fodder, about 20 grams of jaggery can be used by mixing 100 parts of 100 parts and 1 ml/liter contact pesticides (eg Meltian 50 EC). He said farmers should spray this toxic fodder on the tree trunk, lower branches and leaves.
Avoid spraying in strong sunlight
Spraying should be avoided during rain or in strong sunlight. It was said to spray in the morning or afternoon. It can be repeated every 7-10 days. For thrips control, Imidacloprid can be used for 17.8 percent SL (0.3 mL/L) or thymethoxam 25 percent WG (0.3 g/L) or Lambda 5% EC (1 mL/L) or tollfenpirad 15% EC 1.5 ML/Li.
Mango Harvesting will take place in June
For semilopers and Dudua (coupled fruit borer), Lambda Cehlothrin can spray 5 percent EC (1 ML/L) by targeting new flushes and fruit. Bijnor, Saharanpur and Lucknow UP have some major production areas in the past. Mango fruits in Uttar Pradesh are planted from June.
