@amjadsharifFriends, welcome to my blog today. I hope you are all well. A month ago, I wrote a blog about cotton, in which I talked about its cultivation.
Now I want to share with you the update of the cotton crop. In this one month, the height of the plant has increased considerably, and five to six leaves have emerged. The process of new leaves emerging is still going on.
When I turned over its leaves, I saw that it was attacked by green scutes. Because of the heat, green scutes are often visible on the lower surface of the leaves. Whiteflies and green scutes are very harmful to cotton. So far, this field has been watered two to three times and sprayed twice and once, i.e., the process of softening the soil and destroying harmful weeds has been completed. I have examined about 20 to 25 plants with my friend who has grown this crop, and green scutes have been found on most plants. I have advised him to remove the green scutes as soon as possible. Spraying with an insecticide can prevent damage to leaves and plants.
I told you in my previous blog that since the crop is new, it is attacked by very few diseases, so spraying is also done in less time. The plants and leaves that we have seen are growing well and look healthy. No special food like DAP and urea etc. will be given to them yet. The use of fertilizers can be beneficial for it because it is still extracting more sugar, so it needs food and water. The temperature is still increasing to a considerable extent, so the water ratio is between one week and 10 days. This crop could not be grown in our area for a long time because no suitable crop was available for it, but now if this experiment is successful, then the advantage of this crop is that it keeps getting some income from it every week and the farmer does not have any problem in getting money and his system continues to run smoothly.
As we can see in the entire field, its soil is full and completely dry. The soil around the plants and the fields has been softened with the help of someone, which allows the roots to go deeper and the plant to strengthen itself. The weeds have completely disappeared. When we use the food in it, it will be available to the grandson of the direct pass. I hope you have learned something from this blog and if you know about this crop, then do express your valuable opinion so that I can also benefit from it.
