NOTE: For the first year donot immidietaly substitute 100% chemical fertilizer with the SIESTO GREEN products, as the soil is used to chemical fertilizer, it may affect the output. So the best way to substitute is by reducing 50% of chemical input in the first year, 25% the following 2nd year, & then another 10% by the 3rd year. After the 3rd year use synthetic fertilizer / inorganic fertilizer if their is a requirement depending on the soil health.
CROP SCHEDULE FOR GROUNDNUTCROP
| Sr. No. | Treatment / Application | Product | Dose / Acre | APPLICATION | Management |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vegetative – Dissolve in 20 to 200 ltr. of water as required for 1 acre of land and apply through Drip Irrigation or drench. | POORNIMA KIT + Rhizo caps | 1 Kit | Apply after germination that is week 2 and week 9 | It is a balanced form of nutrients that includes NPK, Zinc, Cropforce NP, Humigrow NP, and Mycorrhiza NP |

| 4 | Vegetative and Flowering/ Fruiting – Mix all with the required amount of water and apply through foliar spray or drenching as per infestation of insect. | Amavasya kit | 1 kit | Apply it in week 4 and 10 | It is a balanced form of insecticides which include Traps, lifeline, Bt, Acarida, and Meta capsules. |
| 5 | Soil Treatment – Dissolve in 20lit. to 200lit. of water as per requirement for 1 acre of land and apply through drip irrigation or drench. | IBP KIT | 1 kit | Apply it before sowing and in week 7 | It prevents soil-borne diseases and nematodes. Apply as per the soil health and soil-borne diseases. |
PEST ATTACKS, BACTERIAL, OR FUNGAL MANAGEMENT
| PEST / BACTERIAL / FUNGAL | IDENTIFICATION IN CROP | SYMPTOMS | SUGGESTED PRODUCT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thrips |  |
If a population is high, leaves may be distorted; leaves are covered in coarse stippling and may appear silvery; leaves speckled with black feces. | Lifeline + Traps + Meta + BT |
| Mite |  |
Leaves stippled with yellow; leaves may appear bronzed; webbing covering leaves; mites may be visible as tiny moving dots on the webs or underside of leaves. | Acarida + Traps + BT |
| Armyworm |  |
Singular, or closely grouped circular to irregularly shaped holes in foliage; heavy feeding by young larvae leads to skeletonized leaves; shallow, dry wounds on fruit. | BT + Meta |
| Southern Stem Rot | |
Lateral branches or main stem yellowing and wilting; white fungal mat developing on the stem close to the soil line; white to brown spore-containing structures developing from the fungal mats. | Indofa + Bacillus |
| Verticillium Wilt |  |
Chlorosis of leaf margins; curling leaves; loss of leaf turgor; plants wilt and become stunted as the disease progresses; plants wilt rapidly during periods of water stress. | Indofa + BT + Lifeline |
| Web Blotch |  |
Circular, brown-black lesions on the upper surfaces of the leaves; web or net-like brown lesions on leaves may form on leaves during periods of high humidity. | Indofa + Bacillus |
| Sclerotinia Blight |  |
Tips of infected branches wilt or flag rapidly; early signs of infection include the presence of small water-soaked lesions at the base of the stems which turn yellow or bleached. | Indofa + Bacillus |
| Rust |  |
Characteristic orange pustules on the undersides of leaves become covered in masses of red-brown spores; pustules may form on pods. | Indofa |
| Nematodes |  |
Galls on roots can be up to 3.3 cm (1 in) in diameter but are usually smaller; reduction in plant vigor; yellowing plants that wilt in hot weather. | Pacliq |
KEY FARMING POINTS
KEY FARMING POINTS
- SOIL TYPE = The crop does best on well drained, light textured loose and friable soil with reasonably high calcium with a pH range of 5.5 to 7.0 and a moderate organic matter.
- CLIMATE / TEMPERATURE = The optimum temperature for vegetative growth of groundnut is between 27oC and 30oC depending on the cultivar. Reproductive growth is maximum at 24-27o Maximum rate of growth of pods is between 30oC and 34oC.
- SEASON OF PLANTING Kharif-groundnut- June to July subject to onset of monsoon, Rabi groundnut-November and Summer groundnut-February-March.
- SPACING = Adopt a spacing of 30 cm between rows and 10 cm between plants.
- MANURING & FERTILIZATION = Fertilizer requirements depend on the fertility or quality of the soil.
- WATER MANAGEMENT = Rainfall/protective irrigation is necessary at flowering (20-40 DAS), pod formation (40-70 DAS) and pod filling (70-100 DAS), Sprinkler irrigation is ideal for the crop grown under sandy soils. Use of Broad-Bed-Furrow / Ridge and Furrow system for effective water / moister management. Drip irrigation is becoming popular among groundnut growers as it increases crop yield by 25-40% besides improving seed quality and saves up to 40-50% irrigation water compared to flood irrigation.
- Harvesting = : Groundnut is ready for harvest within 110-120 days after sowing
- YIELD = With the use of improved production technologies and varieties an average yield of 25-30 q/ha can be obtained..
- Seed Treatment kit is optional.
- Bio-pesticides or Bio-fungicides can be applied on a preventive dosage or when any pest, fungal or bacterial diseases are identified.
- Recommended dosage on this crop schedule can vary depending on soil health, environmental conditions, and pest attacks.
- Biofertilizer is not a chemical fertilizer hence do not mix with agrochemicals.
- Do not expose to direct sunlight or heat.
- Use Bio-fertilizer before or after 3-4 days of use of chemical fertilizer.
- Please, clean the sprayer before the use of Bio-fertilizer or bio-pesticide.
