Plant Nutrient Synergy and Antagonism in Soil
Plant Nutrient Synergy and Antagonism in Soil The rising global population is increasing the demand for food production, which places significant pressure on agricultural systems. To meet this demand, farmers rely heavily on fertilizers and nutrient management practices. However, excessive or unbalanced fertilizer use can reduce soil fertility and negatively affect crop productivity. Understanding how […]

Rest Period: The True Beginning of New Season in Grape vineyard
It’s not advisable immediate pruning after harvesting the Grapes. Instead, the vineyard requires a rest period, which is crucial for success of the next season. The duration of this rest period depends on various factors such as the yield obtained, soil condition, vine health, and regional climate. Foundation pruning sets the base for the upcoming […]
What can improve disease resistance in my crops?
Nutrients like Phosphorus, Potassium, Manganese, Zinc, Boron and Silicon have been proven by research to boost plant immunity. Similarly Salicylic Acid and Jasmonic Acid play an active role in defending the plant against pathogens. Phosphorus is responsible for root development, a healthy root system can not only fight successfully against root rot and other soil […]
How do you stop bunch necrosis?
About 7- 10 days after fruit pruning is the most crucial period that decides the yield and quality for the season. At this stage, humid weather tends to increase the amount of nitrogen in the plant. As a result of this, the amount of gibberellins increases while reducing the amount of cytokinins. This affects the […]
How to increase the flexibility of grape bunches?
Grape fruits grow healthy if the stem of a bunch is stronger. First bunch dipping generally takes place when the berry is 3 to 4 mm in diameter. After thinning of the cluster, dipping takes place which speeds up the growth of a cluster. Cell growth is the most important part for any kind of […]
How can I protect my rainfed crop from water stress?
Water constitutes 80-90% of the plants total weight. Water ensures uptake and movement of nutrients in the plant and also translocation of sugars. Any water stress due to delayed rainfall (especially in rainfed crops) results in abiotic stress and reduction in plant yield. In such a situation, Potassium plays a very important role, because it […]
How can I improve the efficacy of herbicide sprays?
A majority of the herbicides are alkaline in nature. If the pH of spray water is alkaline, then the herbicide application efficiency will be reduced by half. If the pH of the solution is 9, then half the efficiency of the herbicide will be reduced within 15 minutes. If the pH of the solution is […]
What would help improve the oil content in oilseed crops?
Plants were required 17 essential nutrients out of that Sulphur is an important element. The need for Sulphur is almost equal to Phosphorus in plants and the functions of Sulphur are similar to that of Nitrogen. Sulphur is an important part of Amino acids like Methionine(21%), Cystaine (26%) and Cystine (27%). In oilseeds, Sulphur is […]
