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.

GENERAL PEST ATTACKS, BACTERIAL, OR FUNGAL MANAGEMENT

PEST / BACTERIAL / FUNGAL IDENTIFICATION IN CROP SYMPTOMS SUGGESTED PRODUCT Fusarium wilt The first symptom appears as chlorosis of the leaves. Wilting of leaves from bottom to top occurs. Bacillus + Indofa + Lifeline Alternaria Leaf spot Small, round to irregular spots with a grey center and dark margin on leaves. Spots usually start on lower leaves and gradually advance upwards. Indofa Downy mildew Yellow, angular spots restricted by veins resembling mosaic mottling appear on the upper surface of leaves. Lifeline + Indofa + BT + Bacillus Powdery Mildew Whitish powdery growth on upper foliage stems, and young growing parts. The superficial growth ultimately covers the entire leaf area. Lifeline + Indofa + BT + Bacillus Anthracnose Water-soaked lesions are seen on the leaf which later become yellowish irregular spots. Indofa + Bacillus Aphid Infesting tender shoots and under the surface of the leaves. Lifeline + Traps + Meta + BT Leaf Miner Leaves with silvery serpentine mines. Drying and dropping of pre-matured leaves in severe cases. Lifeline + Traps + Meta + BT Whitefly Normal photosynthesis is restricted due to the growth of black sooty mold on the honeydew excreted by the whitefly. Lifeline Spider Mites In severe infestations, leaves completely desiccate and drop off. Lifeline + Traps + Meta + BT Thrips They start feeding by rasping the leaf surface with their mouthparts to release the liquids from the plant cells and suck the plant juice. Lifeline + Traps + Meta + BT Leaf Eating Caterpillar It can also feed on the ovaries of flowers; sometimes bore into young developing fruits. BT + Meta Root-knot nematode The formation of galls on the host root system is the primary symptom. Meta + BT + Pacliq

KEY FARMING POINTS

KEY FARMING POINTS

  SOIL TYPE = Watermelon crop prefers a sandy loam soil textureCultivation in heavy textured soils results in slower crop development and cracked fruits.  SOIL PH = pH of 5.8 to 7.2. CLIMATE / TEMPERATURE = Watermelon crop requires a warm and dry climate for optimal growth and development. The ideal temperature range for watermelon production during the growing season is between 65°F and 95°F.Temperatures above 95°F or below 50°F can slow the growth and maturation of the crop.  SEASON OF PLANTING = The season for planting watermelon crops depends on the climate and soil conditions of the region. In general, watermelon is a warm-season crop that requires warm soil and air temperatures to grow. The ideal temperature range for planting watermelon is between 70°F and 95°F. In India, watermelon is grown in the summer season, which starts in March and lasts until June. The best time to plant watermelon in India is between February and March. MANURING & FERTILIZATION = Fertilizer requirements depend on the fertility or quality of the soil. WATER MANAGEMENT = Water management is crucial for the growth and development of watermelon crops. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, watermelon requires 1-2 inches of water per weekwhile the plants are growing, blooming, and setting fruit.  HARVESTING DURATION = The harvesting duration of the watermelon crop depends on the variety of watermelon and the weather conditions. According to Gardening Know How watermelons are usually ready for harvest about 80 daysafter planting from seed. This means that around day 75 or so, depending on the season, you can start watching for ripe watermelons.  YIELD = The average yield of watermelon per acre varies depending on the variety of watermelon and the agricultural practices followed. According to Agri Farming, the average yield of watermelon per hectare is between 25-30 tonnes. This is equivalent to 11,340-13,608 kgper acre   NOTE: 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. Add available forms of Phosphorus and Potash depending on the crop and crop varieties before every Transplantation. Add available forms of calcium and magnesium as per the requirement. 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   PRECAUTIONS: - 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.
