Zonewise Agromet Advisories NORTHEAST INDIA [ARUNACHAL PRADESH, NMM&T, ASSAM, MEGHALAYA] Realised Rainfall: Significant rainfall occurred in most of the districts of the States of the region during last week. Rainfall Forecast: Rain / thundershowers would occur at most places over the states of the region. Warning: Heavy to very heavy rainfall at a few places would occur over Assam & Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh during next 48 hours. Advisories: ‣ As rainfall occurred in most of the districts of the States of the region during last week and rain / thundershowers would occur at most places over the states of the region, farmers are advised to postpone irrigation, intercultural operation and application of fertilisers and plant protection measures. As heavy to very heavy rainfall would occur at a few places over Assam & Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh during next 48 hours, farmers in these States are advised to arrange adequate drainage to remove excess water from the fields immediately, wherever possible. ‣ Farmers in the areas where flood water has been receded, are advised to raise community nursery for late transplanting with old seedlings of the varieties like Profulla and Gitesh (if more than 50% area damaged) or nursery raising of the photo insensitive short duration variety like Luit for retransplanting (in case of total damage). Farmers may also sow traditional varieties (Sonamukhi, Manohar Sali, Bordha, Andru Sali, Solpona) of sali rice, which can be transplanted late up to the end of August. ‣ In flood affected areas of Hill Zone of Assam, after receding of flood water, the short duration varieties of rice like Luit, Kapilee, Dichang etc. can be sown directly in puddled field with sprouted seeds upto middle of September. Farmers can also sow sesamum in the month of July to August or green gram and black gram upto mid September in medium and upland situation. Farmers can also raise community nursery, if individual farmer does not have suitable land for nursery due to inundation by flood water. ‣ Farmers in Hill Zone of Assam are advised to continue preparation of main field and undertake transplanting of rice and also advised to undertake land preparation and sowing of arhar and sesame. ‣ Farmers in Upper Brahamputra Valley Zone of Assam are advised nursery bed preparation of Sali rice and transplant the seedling of papaya and coconut. ‣ Farmers in Central Brahamputra Valley Zone and Noth Bank Plain Zone of Assam are advised to undertake land preparation for sowing of kharif Sesame and transplanting the seedling of Sali rice. ‣ Farmers in Barak Valley Zone and Lower Brahmaputra Valley Zone of Assam are advised to undertake transplanting of Sali rice and complete the harvesting of ahu rice. ‣ Farmers in Sub Tropical Hill Zone of Arunachal Pradesh are advised to continue transplanting of rice. ‣ Farmers in Mild Tropical Hill Zone of Mizoram are advised to continue nursery preparation of rice and undertake land preparation and sowing of groundnut and soybean and planting of ginger and turmeric. ‣ Farmers in Temperate Sub Alpine Zone of Meghalaya are advised to continue transplanting of sali rice in low and medium altitude areas. Continue sowing of sali rice and soybean in high altitude region utilizing realized monsoon rainfall. The farmers, who could not be able to sow the seeds of early varieties of sali rice, can make arrangement to raise the seedlings by adopting ‘Mat nursery’ technique. Seedlings of such nursery become suitable for transplanting earlier and transplanting becomes easier using Drum Seeder etc. Otherwise, farmers can use late varieties for cultivation. ‣ Farmers in Mild Tropical Hill Zone of Nagaland are advised to undertake nursery bed preparation of lowland rice. ‣ Farmers of Sub Tropical Plain Zone of Manipur are advised to continue sowing of kharif rice, soybean and groundnut. ‣ Farmers of Mid Tropical Plain Zone of Tripura are advised to undertake seedbed preparation of aman rice for low land. ‣ Suitable varieties of the crops for sowing or transplanting are mentioned in Annexure II. ‣ Due to favourable weather condition, in Upper Bramhaputra Vally Zone of Assam, stem borer attack in citrus plants may occur during this period. Apply a paste made by mixing lime, water and 5% Malathion dust on the stems of the plants up to a height of about 1 m from the ground to prevent the attack. ‣ As pesticide application is not feasible in rainy weather, farmers in the Central Bramhaputra Valley Zone and North Bank Plain Zone of Assam are advised arrangement of Bamboo perch as an effective measure to control the hairy caterpillar and semi-looper in jute through predatory birds on jute. ‣ Due to prevailing weather conditions, there is chance of attack of stem borer in maize and upland rice in Mild Tropical Plain Zone of Tripura. To control maize stem borer, spray Novacron @ 2 ml per litre of water and in case of rice stem borer, spray Rogor or Monocrotophos @ 2 ml per litre of water. 9
