Rhodes Grass Cultivation

Image
Rhodes Grass Rhodes Grass scientific name is Chloris gayana and it is a type of wild grass growing in summer , whose runners provide the soil cover to control the erosion. It is the best tropical grass widespread in different tropical and sub tropical countries like Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. Rhodes grass is a best use as forage crop and hay and is very productive. In case of its quality it is important to know that at the time of its young stage it is very beneficial and have a high quality percentage. Pakistan exports the high quality Rhodes grass which is very useful, ultimately which increases the quality Rhodes grass cultivation in Pakistan and also increase the yield per acre in our country. Pakistan Rhodes grass exporters are becoming one the largest exporters of the world. It all depends on the quality of Rhodes grass which is one of the best quality in Pakistan as compared to the other countries in the world.  http://agriera.blogspot.com/2022/05/wheat-crop-production-...

Sugarcane  (Saccharum officinarum L.) http://agriera.blogspot.com/2022/06/sugarcane-part-3.html http://agriera.blogspot.com/2022/05/wheat-crop-production-technology-part-3.html 1-Irrigation Sugarcane is a perennial crop and on average basis water requirement varies 47-63 inches for spring crop and 80 to 98 inches for the autumn crop on seasonal basis, soil fertility and cane variety. The whole world adopted Center Pivot irrigation systems but in Pakistan it is introduced just before few years. Now in our country Centre Pivot irrigation systems is introduced on large farms scale.  Autumn planting crop requires more water requirement than the spring planting crop. During dry period, water availability should be sufficient with short intervals to prevent the crop from moisture stress.  https://agriera.blogspot.com/2020/09/compost-natural-organic-fertilizer.html Irrigation Schedule  The aim of efficient irrigation scheduling program is to "provide information on right ti...

  Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) 1-Fertigation Process It is a process in which we apply fertilizers and nutrients with the help of irrigation to increase the nutrients efficiency in increasing growth and yield of the crop. As we know that sugarcane is major crop which produces biomass generally in huge amount of nutrient elements. At this time in 2022 fertilizer application is worst challenge for the common farmers that is why there is a need of improvement in fertilizers use efficiency for more benefits. So in such conditions it is the best way of fertilizers application to the crop, where in "Fertigation" with both water and fertilizers are applied to the crop through center pivot irrigation system. http://agriera.blogspot.com/2022/06/sugarcane-part-2.html Fertigation is a process which contains uniform nutrients or fertilizer application. For fertigation process, fertilizer tank and injector pump is used. Ensure the uniform flow of water to provide nutrients uniform...

  Initial Stages of Sugarcane https://agriera.blogspot.com/2022/05/sugarcane-part-1.html It leads to the early preparation of the sugarcane strategies. If we make proper strategies to overcome the difficulties and hurdles to sugarcane in the initial stages, then we can make a big difference in the production of sugarcane.  Initial stages includes following different parts; Seed If you wants to make your crop productive than you should select the best seed which includes high sugar recovery, disease resistant, healthy and of spring crop. Select the posterior part of the sugarcane which is the best part of the sugarcane for seed use. And do not select the seed from ratoon and lodged crop. Seed rate should be 80-100 mounds per acre. CP-77400 and CPF-237 are the early varieties of sugarcane. Cane parts or sets of seeds should be selected from new crop (immature crop) because a mature crop have large number of dry buds and if in case you select the mature crop which contains the dr...

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.)  http://agriera.blogspot.com/2022/05/wheat-crop-production-technology-part-3.html Belongs to Poaceae as well as Gramineae family. It is a species of tall, perrenial grass used for sugar production. It is almost 2 -6 meter tall with stout, jointed, fibrous stalks that are rich in sucrose which accumulates in stalk internodes. Sugarcane and Bamboo Relationship Sugarcane related to bamboo because they belong to same grass family. Their body parts also bear similar names like stems, nodes, internodes etc. And they both grow as tall canes or narrow stalks. Economic Importance  Sugarcane is an important industrial and cash crop and it's a world wide cultivated crop which is cultivated in more than 100 countries. Sugarcane from its earlier time to this time increasing the social and economical value of human society because of its increasing production with the time. Sugarcane is basically falls in food industry which provides us raw sugar, refine...

  Zinc and Boron Use in Wheat For wheat crop use of Zinc sulfate (ZnSO 4 ) 33% @ 6kg and Boric Acid 17% @ 2.5kg per acre at the time of sowing have good impacts on crop production. https://agriera.blogspot.com/2022/05/wheat-crop-production-technology-part-2.html https://agriera.blogspot.com/2022/04/wheat-crop-production-technology-part-1.html https://agriera.blogspot.com/2020/09/compost-natural-organic-fertilizer.html Use of Local and Green Manure Our soil contains very low organic matter contents. That's why to maintain physical health and basic fertility of the soil it is necessary to use local and green manure or farm yard manure. Use rotten waste of animal dung as green manure @ 8 to 10 ton (3 to 4 trolleys) and then before sowing of wheat cultivate Guara (BeeBlossom), Jantar (Sesbania bispinosa) or other granular commodities and burry them in the soil at flowering stage as a green manure. Weed Eradication To get a good and quality wheat production it is most necessary to eradi...

 BARANI AREA's 2020- 2021 https://agriera.blogspot.com/2022/04/wheat-crop-production-technology-part-1.html Cultivation Procedure  After 1st monsoon rain start to prepare land with mold bold plough (implement which invert the soil) or with chisel plough. So that the soil should be fertile and porous to the maximum depth for maximum absorption of water. After chiseling and ploughing, start wooden plank (Suhaga) on your field to eliminate or remove weeds and to spread out porous soil in these place, so that there should be more water conservation, this procedure should be before cultivation of wheat as per requirement. Before wheat sowing, run simple chisel plough at least two times and a hard wooden plank (Suhaga), So that WATTAR position of soil converts into upper layer of the soil. Make it possible of wheat drill sowing. In case of fertilizer application, apply all recommended and required fertilizer before sowing and at the time of land preparation. There is a research in B...
