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 TOMATO
| Sr. No. | Treatment / Application | Product | Dose / Acre | APPLICATION | Management |

| 4 | 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 as soil application before sowing | It prevents soil-born diseases and nematodes. Apply as per the soil health and soil-born diseases. |
| 5 | 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 4th | It is a balanced form of insecticides. Which include Traps, lifeline, Bt, Acarida and Meta capsules. |
PEST ATTACKS, BACTERIAL, OR FUNGAL MANAGEMENT
| PEST / BACTERIAL / FUNGAL | IDENTIFICATION IN CROP | SYMPTOMS | SUGGESTED PRODUCT | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shoot and Fruit Borers |  |
The insect larvae bore into the shoots during vegetative growth resulting in drooping of affected shoots. | Traps + Meta + BT | |
| Loopers |  |
Large or small holes in leaves, caterpillars are pale green with a white line running down either side of their body, eggs are laid singly, generally on the lower leaf surface close to the leaf margin. | Traps + Meta + BT | |
| Whitefly |  |
The insect does not cause considerable damage to the crop but acts as a vector to transmit the yellow vein mosaic virus disease. | Lifeline + Traps | |
| Aphids |  |
In severe infestation, they cause curling and deformation of young leaves. They secrete honeydew-like substance and black, sooty mold is developed on affected parts. | Lifeline + Traps + Meta + BT | |
| Root-knot Nematode |  |
It enters the roots causing characteristic root knots or galls. The aerial symptoms consist mostly of stunted plant growth and yellowing of leaves. | Meta + BT + Pacliq | |
| Powdery Mildew |  |
White powdery growth is detected on young leaves and also on fruits. Fruit quality gets deteriorated and remains small in size. | Life-line + Indofa + BT + Bacillus | |
| Damping-Off |  |
High humidity, cloudy weather, overcrowding, and wet soils mainly favor the development of damping-off, and it kills seedlings before or soon after they emerge. | Indofa + Bacillus |
NUTRITION DEFICIENCY
| NUTRIENT | IDENTIFICATION | SYMPTOMS | SUGGESTED PRODUCT | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nitrogen |  |
Leaves become yellowish-green erect. Root Growth Poor. Plants may exhibit stunting and delayed maturity. | Azoto Caps | |
| Phosphorus |  |
Slow growth, maturity blazed. Without phosphorus showing the color of yellowish green leaves, the tip of brown leaves is like burning and dwarf leaves. | PSB Plus | |
| Potash |  |
Yellowish leaves wavier, the leaves dry and die | Potash Grow | |
| Iron |  |
Yellowing of leaves starts from margins, and Leaf veins stay green, Later, leaves become whitish-yellow with brown spots, and Stunted Growth. | ALP | |
| Manganese |  |
An Mn deficiency is recognized by interveinal chlorosis (yellowing between the veins of the leaves) while the veins themselves remain dark green. | ALP | |
| Zinc |  |
Yellowing of older leaves. Old leaf tip burns. Young leaves wrinkle and curl. Necrosis spots appear in really bad cases. | Zinc Grow Caps | |
| Sulphur |  |
The leaves show general overall chlorosis. The yellowing is much more uniform over the entire plant including young leaves. | Sulphur Caps |
KEY FARMING POINTS
KEY FARMING POINTS
- SOIL TYPE = Okra can grow in different soil types, but it prefers loam and sandy loamthat are well-drained and rich in organic matter.
- SOIL PH = The ideal soil pH for okra is 0 to 7.0.
- CLIMATE / TEMPERATURE = Okra grows best at temperatures between 23 and 27°C. Okra likes humid conditionsand full sun
- SEASON OF PLANTING = Okra is mainly grown in tropical and subtropical regions. In India, it can be successfully grown in the rainy seasoneven in heavy rainfall area The major growing states in India are Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, and Orissa.
- SPACING = The spacing for okra plantation depends on the variety and the soil type. Generally, okra plants need two to three feetbetween them and the rows should be 30 inches apart. If the soil is clay and windy, plant the seeds deeper (one or two inches).
- MANURING & FERTILIZATION = Fertilizer requirements depend on the fertility or quality of the soil.
- WATER MANAGEMENT = Okra requires moist soilfor optimum development. The water requirement is 5 inches every 10 days in hot areas and 0.75 inches per week in cooler seasons. Drip irrigation is commonly used to save water. Okra residue can help reduce erosion and improve soil health. Pre-sowing irrigation and organic amendments can enhance germination and seedling growth.
- CROP DURATION = The crop duration of okra is 3-4 months, depending on the variety. The harvesting starts 50 to 65 daysafter planting and continues for 10 to 12 weeks.
- YIELD = The yield of okra depends on many factors, such as soil, climate, and variety. The average yield per acre is 3.5 to 4.5 tonnes per acre.
- 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.
- 1-acre POORNIMA KIT contains: -
- NPK caps = 2 caps
- Zinc caps = 1 cap
- Cropforce Nano Powder = 120gm
- Humigrow Nano Powder = 120 gm
- Mycorrhiza nano powder = 100 gm
- 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.
