Agrometeorological Advisories:
Rice: In the low land, complete the transplanting of Aman rice. In case of late sown crop, the planting density should be increased. Recommended density is 20cm X 10cm. Four to five weeks old seedlings can be transplanted. Keep stagnant water (2 to 3 cm) upto 7 to 10 days in the field after transplanting. As there is no heavy rainfall forecast for the next seven days, use irrigation to keep stagnant water in the field. Jute: After harvesting, proper retting of jute may be done. As there is a lack of surface water due to scanty rainfall, ribbon retting and Microbial decomposition can be adopted. Winter vegetables: Start sowing of hybrid tomato and vindi. Apply Terramycin (250 mg in 2.5 lt water) or streptocycline (1 gm in 10 lt water) to the seedlings before transplanting in the main field. Flowers: In the prevailing weather situation, infestations of leaf-rot may be enhanced in case of chrysanthemum. Apply 1gm Carbendazim and 2gm Mancozeb together per lt of water to control the attack. Start land preparation for gladiolus.
