Tips for Kerala Farmers

Kerala received 1604.0 mm (-12% normal) of rainfall from 01 June to 07 September 2025. Kerala’s extended-range weather forecast (rainfall) for the next two weeks (05-11 September and 12-18 September 2025) in Kerala is deficit rainfall for week 1 and normal rainfall for week 2.

• In rice (virippu), there is a chance of the appearance of rice bug in paddy. To control spray fish jaggery extract (20 ml per litre of water) or spray chitin-based Pseudomonas fluorescens 20 grams in one litre of water. If the attack is severe, spray Azadirachtin 10 ml or Malathion 2 ml
  per litre of water. Pesticide application should be done either before 9 am or after 3 pm. Otherwise, the pesticide application will adversely affect the pollination.
• Detection of disease at its early stage will help to adopt efficient corrective measures. Cut and remove the affected tissues from the crown and apply Bordeaux paste. After that, cover the cut surface with polythene sheets to protect it from rainfall until the new leaf emerges. Burn the
  removed tissues immediately. As a prophylactic measure, spray 1% Bordeaux mixture into the axils of the top leaves of the surrounding palms.
• Regulate the shade in pepper gardens. Drench the soil with 0.2% copper oxychloride and spray the aerial part with 1% Bordeaux mixture as a prophylactic measure to control quick wilt and pollu disease of pepper.
• As a prophylactic measure to control rhizome rot, drench the soil with 2-3 litres of copper oxychloride (0.25%) solution. Application of Trichoderma can control the rhizome rot to some extent. Ideal time for new planting.
• In rubber, protect young leaves of budded seedlings from shedding due to fungal diseases. Spray a solution of Copper oxychloride 4g in 1 litre of water.
• There is a chance of rhizome rot disease in ginger. As a prophylactic measure, spray 2-gram Copper oxychloride or 1.5-gram copper hydroxide per one litre of water.

In the standing crop of soybean, moong, urad, if the outbreak of whitefly, sucking insects is high, then spray the approved insecticides for control when the sky is clear. Ensure drainage in fields and weed-free conditions. Hairy caterpillar is also appearing in mash and til crops. For control spray Cypermethrin 25 EC 0.5 ml /litre of water.
• Rains expected in all parts of HP. Ensure proper drainage in vegetable crops. Use Light Trap to destroy harmful pests. For this, in a plastic tub or a large pot, mix water and a little kerosene or a few ml of insecticide Rogar and burn a bulb and keep it in the middle of the field at night. By attracting insects with light, they will fall on the same solution and die.

  1.0 ml / 3 lit. of water is recommended when the sky remains clear.
• Nursery raising of cabbage and cauliflower.
• Calf and Milch animals should be tied in dry places. In the rainy season, there is a possibility of diarrhoea in animals, so feed dry roughage to protect the animals from diarrhoea. Lumpy skin is a viral disease caused by the bite of a mosquito of the arthropod family, which initially causes
  mild fever for 2 to 3 days. In disease, ulcers in the mouth, throat and respiratory system, weakness, lack of milk, abortion and death of the animal can also occur in other diseases.
• Treatment- In case of illness, keep the animal separate from healthy animals, and in case of fever, give meloxicam and paracetamol to the animal and use antiseptic ointment on the body and give multivitamins.
