Practice Name:

Termite Control in Guava and Increasing Flowering in Cotton

Details

Category	Crop Production
Crop	Cotton
Crop Family	Malvaceae
Scientific Name	(Gossypium spp.)
Vernacular Name	Kapas
Scout	HBN
Ingredients	poultry manure, castor (Ricinus communis) cake, tender branches of cotton
Details Of Innovation	Adding poultry manure and castor (Ricinus communis) cake in guava (Psidium guajava) orchard minimises or prevents termite infestation in guava. In the same way, if the hieght of cotton (Gossypium herbaceum) is in excess, it will lack sufficient flowers and balls. So to induce new flowering, the crop is pruned at the top. With this, the interculturing operation is carried out with irrigation. This induces new flowering, improving crop yield.

PAS 1	"Castormeal is a good organic fertilizer, due to its high N and P contents, but blending with castor husks is notnecessary. Blends of castor meal and castor husks for optimized use as organic fertilizer." https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/82583546.pdf
PAS 2	Many oil cakes such as the castor, neem, madhuca, karanja, linseed, rape seed and cotton seed which are non-edible oil cakes may serve as useful organic manure as these contain high amounts of plant nutrients. (Organic Manureshttps://ncof.dacnet.nic.in/Training_manuals/Training_manuals_in_English/Organicmanures.pdf )
PAS 3	"A significant interaction effect between organic manure and RDN was found where application of castor cake @ 1 t/ha with 100% RDN recorded significantly higher grain yield (4032 kg/ha) with maximum net realization (Rs. 30320/ha) with 2.25 BCR.

PAS 4	"Apply only 500 kg ofcastor de-oiled cake along with 100 percent recommended dose of NPK and Zn per hectare is enough to get higher income with reducedcost of cultivation.
