Ø  Crop Production (Agronomy)

1. Fertilizer Management for sweet corn (2014-15)

     2 Ton vermicompost + 1.2 Ton castorcake/ha along with 90 kg N + 45.0 kg P₂O₅/ha. (98 kg DAP Basal + 157 kg urea 25% Basal, 25% 4 leaf, 25% 8 leaf, 25% Tasseling stage)

2. Detasseling in maize: (2016-17)

     Removing tassel in Rabi maize after 15 days of anthesis in alternate rows give higher yield with Net return.

3. Fertilizer Management in kharif hybrid maize GAYMH-1 & GAWMH-2 (2017-18)

     160 kg N₂ + 20 kg P₂O₅/ha for Panchmahal District (44 kg DAP, 331 kg urea required for 1 hacter)

     160 kg N₂ + 60 kg P₂O₅/ha for Dahod District (130 kg DAP, 297 kg urea required for 1 hacter)

4. Fertilizer Management in Rabi hybrid Maize GAYMH-1 and GAWMH-2 (2018-19)

Middle Gujarat except Anand District

150 kg N₂ + 40 kg P₂O₅/ha (87 kg DAP + 292 kg urea/ha)

For Anand District

150 kg N₂ + 60 kg P₂O₅/ha (130 kg DAP + 230 kg urea/ha)

Ø  Pathology

Management of Foliar diseases (2019):  To soak the seeds in salicylic acid @ 0.75 mM concentration (104 mg/lit) for 18 hours followed by shade drying for 48 hours and apply two sprays of salicylic acid @ 3 mM concentration (4.14 g/10 lit.), first at 20 days after germination and second at 15 days after first spray for effective and economical management of foliar diseases viz., Maydis leaf blight, Turcicum leaf blight and Curvularia leaf spot. Dissolves the salicylic acid in minimum quantity of methanol to ensure complete solubility followed by dilution with required water.

Avoidable yield loss assessment due curvularia leaf spot (2019): The avoidable yield losses due to curvularia leaf spot (CLS) was estimated to 17.1 per cent when protected plots were sprayed with azoxystrobin @ 0.5% at 35 and 45 days after sowing. (AICRP)

Banded leaf and sheath blight (2018): Among the leaf stripped plant of maize with hybrid variety GM-6 was found best in checking banded leaf and sheath blight (BLSB) disease severity (25%) resulted in highest grain (33.65 q/ha) with 28.68% yield increase over unstripped with susceptible inbred CML-307. (AICRP)

Banded leaf and sheath blight (2017) : Among the treatments 100 ppm salicylic acid (SA) (SP and foliar spray after 24 hrs after inoculation) was found best in checking banded leaf and sheath blight (BLSB) disease severity (22.22%) resulted in highest grain yield (34.68 q/ha) with 41.84% yield increase over check. (AICRP)

Banded leaf and sheath blight (2016) : Maize growing farmers are advised to treat the seed with thiram 3 g/kg seeds followed by two sprays of trifloxystrobin 25% + tebuconazole 50% (0.05%) at 30 and 45 days after germination was found significant control of banded leaf and sheath blight (BLSB) disease severity. (AICRP)

Effective and economic management banded leaf and sheath blight disease of maize (2018) : Treat the seed with Trichoderma viride(10⁸cfu/g) 1% WP, 10g/kg seeds, its soil application (10 kg/tonne FYM/ha) at the time of sowing and four foliar sprays T. viride(60 g/10 lit.) (ICBR 1: 2.78), first spray at 30 days after germination and remaining at 10 days interval after first spray for in kharif season.

Integrated biological control of maydis leaf blight, turcicum leaf blight and curvularia leaf spot (2016): Farmers of the middle Gujarat Agro-climatic zone III growing kharif and rabi maize, are recommended to treat the seeds with talc based formulation of  T. viride (2x10⁸ cfu/g) @  7g/ kg seeds at the time of sowing; followed by four sprays of cow urine, 10% (1 litre / 10 litre of water) or neem leaf extract, 10% (1 litre / 10 litre of water) at 30, 40, 50 and 60 days after sowing for the management of maydis leaf blight, turcicum leaf blight and curvularia leaf spot diseases.

Integrated chemical control of maydis leaf blight, turcicum leaf blight and curvularia leaf spot (2016): For effective and integrated management of leaf blight (maydis and turcicum) and curvularia leaf spot diseases of maize during kharif and rabi seasons, the seed treatment with thiram @ 3 g/ kg seeds followed by two sprays of azoxystrobin 18.2% + difenconazole 11.4% (29.6 SC), 0.03% (9.2 ml/ 10 litre of water) at 30 and 45 days after germination was found effective.

Entomology

• 1. Farmers of middle Gujarat Agro-climatic zone III are advised to spray spinetoram 11.7 SC, 0.0117 % (10 ml/ 10 litre of water) or emamectin benzoate 5 SG, 0.0025 % (5 g/ 10 litre of water) or chlorantraniliprole 18.5 SC, 0.006 % (3 ml/ 10 litre of water) or thiodicarb 75 WP, 0.11 % (15 g/ litre of water) first at initiation of pest and second at 15 days interval for effective and economical control of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda infesting maize.
• 2. Whorl application of chlorantraniliprole 0.4% CG and fipronil 0.6% CG @ 20 kg/ha first at appearance of pest and second after 15 days of first application were found effective against fall armyworm in maize.
• 3. Farmers of middle Gujarat Agro-climatic zone III are advised to spray Nomuraea rileyi 1% WP (40 g/10 litre water) or Bacillus thuringiensis WG (20 g/10 litre water) first at initiation of pest and second and third at 10 days interval for effective and economical control of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda infesting maize.
• 4. Farmers of middle (Gujarat Agro-climatic zone III) are advised to apply poison baits having:  Rice bran 25 kg + jaggery 5 kg + thiodicarb 75 WP 250 g/ha or Maize flour 25 kg + jaggery 5 kg + thiodicarb 75 WP 250 g/ha or Rice bran 25 kg + jaggery 5 kg + emamectin benzoate 5 SG 125 g/ha. First at initiation of pest and second at 15 days interval for effective and economical control of fall armyworm in maize.
• 5. Farmers of the middle Gujarat growing kharif maize for grain purpose are advised to apply whorl application of carbofuran 3G@10kg/ha two times at 30 and 40 days after germination for effective and ecological management of stem borer (2017).
