Boost Fenugreek Yields: Organic Solutions for Powdery Mildew and Aphids
- •Fluctuating weather, with rising daytime temperatures and nighttime dew, creates humidity, leading to diseases like Powdery Mildew and Aphids in fenugreek crops.
- •Powdery Mildew causes a white, powdery layer on leaves, hindering growth, while Aphids suck sap from tender parts, causing yellowing and wilting.
- •Agricultural expert Dinesh Jakhar recommends organic methods to manage these issues, reducing chemical use and maintaining crop quality.
- •Using Neem cake (2 tons per hectare) during field preparation acts as a natural pesticide, eliminates soil pests and fungi, and enhances soil fertility.
- •For severe infestations, apply Trichoderma Viride (2.5 kg per hectare) to destroy harmful fungi and strengthen plant roots, or spray 5% Neem Seed Kernel Extract (NSKE) at 10-day intervals to disrupt pest life cycles.
