At first,
This training held in the topic of insects, Medicare, Watering and Dipping. The participation was not credible in this training due to the Dashain festival. Only 23 from Group "A" and 22 participants from Group "B" were presented. The training was fruitful and interesting. A Pest technician from District Agriculture was presented in this training for better understood to participants about the beneficial and non-beneficial pests. He launch the training in the better environment with full of joy.
On Tomato
Overview
Common pest problems on tomato plants include hornworms, aphids, flea beetles, and stink bugs. Diseases such as crown rot, Fusarium wilt, cucumber mosaic virus and early blight can also plague the home tomato grower. Organic pest control sprays are effective both as a preventative and when problems develop. They are easy to make with household components. Companion planting is also an organic preventative method of pest control.
Organic Insect Spray
Companion Planting
Companion planting is most important and easy natural method for tomato plant problems. Nature provides good solutions for many insect pest problems. Some plants give out smell which causes insects to stay away. Borage is a good companion plant for tomato hornworms. Garlic's smell repels aphids. Marigolds planted near tomatoes discourage whiteflies.
Beneficial Insects
Organic pest control sprays do not cause injury to children or pets that come into contact with them. They leave no chemical residue on the tomatoes. Many gardeners prefer to make their own bug sprays. It is easy to do with common household components. There are many guidelines for organic sprays to control tomato pests. Garlic and pepper is an all-purpose bug spray for common tomato plant problems such as aphids and hornworms. It's strongly keeps many insects away and it kills ones that are already on the plants. This spray stops mildew too.
Ladybugs, praying mantis, and lacewings are known as "beneficial" and they are a very effective organic pest control for tomato problems. They eat the insects which chew and destroy tomato plants, such a flea beetles and aphids. Ladybugs and praying mantis can be purchased at most Agro-vet centers. We can also attract these kinds of beneficial insects by using a sugar-water spray on the plants.
Cauliflower and Cabbage.
Growing Broccoli at the same time as minimizing pest problems will mean following some sort of crop rotation plan. This simply means not growing vegetables of the same family in the same piece of earth year after year. It encourages pest build up in the soil.
Cabbage Root Fly can be a problem so use protective discs at the base of the growing Cauliflower as they lay their eggs in the soil at this point and then they give the little root fly deep down and feed on the roots.
Also cover with gardening rip off when the plants are young. Rip off is a great friend to the gardener, it allows rain and light through but insulates against cold and discourage pests.
Caterpillars:
Cabbage looper moths, mainly fly at dusk and are brown with a light silver spot on each main wing. They lay many single dome-shaped eggs on the underside of leaves. The eggs hatch around 3 days and the caterpillars move by arching their middle or looping along.
Clubroot: This cauliflower's problem is caused by a fungus in the soil. Growing plants from seed helps, as most clubroot fungus is introduced from brought in plants with infected roots. Clubroot symptoms are wilted, discolored leaves, and when you pull out a plant, its roots will be a suffering. It's no
Rootfly Root fly's eggs.
Watch for these as they tend to like to invite themselves to dinner cabbage's leaves. Your plants are dying if caterpillars eat out the growing leafs. Also as well as option of caterpillars off, has organic solution called BT (Bacillus Thuringiensis). By dusting or spraying this every 7-10 days, it controls caterpillars, especially cabbage worm. There are also two types of cabbage white butterflies — large and small. Both types overwinter as pupae and in springtime they emerge as white butterflies, mate and lay their eggs which hatch into leaf chewing caterpillars about 2 weeks later.
The large cabbage white butterfly caterpillar lays a cluster of yellow eggs usually on the underside of a leaf, and the more common and destructive small white butterfly lays single white eggs.
wonder the plant looks sick, as the roots simply are unable to do what roots normally do. There is no effective organic treatment for clubroot fungus once it gets, so there are not many options unfortunately. Most importantly avoid planting plants in the same space for another 4 years at least, and from then on, make sure you rotate crops leaving three years in between crops. If your soil is acidic, add sea green at least 2 months before planting, because clubroot prefers acid soil conditions.
Mildew: One of the frustrating pests and diseases is mildew. It takes a lot to kill a plant, but it will if it gets out of hand. Springtime with milder, but damp weather encourages mildew. Downy mildew: is the most common powdery scrap, mostly on the leaves and new shoots at first. Downy mildew will invade the plant's insides eventually, and lethally.
Taking Care of Plants
After-care is very much part of learning how to grow vegetable - but fortunately it's easy:
Carefully prepare around the plants to keep weeds down.
Protect from those horrible birds - they love the young seedlings. Put bamboo in the ground with upturned plant pots on top. Cover net over and secure with rope on the ground.
Water regularly especially in dry conditions.
From time to time feed the growing liquid fertilizer.
As the plants get taller you may need to stake the plants.
Re-firm the cauliflower plants if they have become loosened by wind or frost.
At last the training was finished successfully. I want to share my warm thanks to all participants, trainers, program helpers and especially to EDWON family.
