🌾 જમીનની તૈયારી અને ખેડ
જમીનની યોગ્ય તૈયારીથી એકસરખો ઉગાવો અને મૂળનો ઊંડો વિકાસ સુનિશ્ચિત થાય છે.
🌱 યોગ્ય જમીનનો પ્રકાર અને pH
Well-drained sandy loam to loam soils with good permeability; pH range 6.0 – 7.5 for optimal nodulation and peg penetration.
✨ મુખ્ય કૃષિ ફાયદા
Loose, friable soil texture promotes uninterrupted pod development and easy digging at maturity, while ensuring rapid seed germination and robust taproot establishment.
- 1
Deep summer ploughing followed by 2–3 cross-harrowings to achieve fine tilth and break hardpan for peg penetration.
- 2
Field leveling and drainage preparation to prevent waterlogging, which is highly detrimental to groundnut pod development.
- 3
Incorporation of well-decomposed FYM or compost at 5–8 tonnes/ha during last harrowing for improved soil structure and moisture retention.
- 4
Soil health conditioning with gypsum application (sulphur and calcium source) especially in deficient soils to enhance pod filling and oil synthesis.
🌱 વાવણીનો સમય અને પદ્ધતિ
Precise seed rate and spacing maximize light interception and canopy development.
| માપદંડ / પેરામીટર | ભલામણ / સૂચના | કૃષિ મહત્વ |
|---|---|---|
| વાવણી સમયમર્યાદા | June – July for Kharif / October – November for Rabi (penetrating monsoon rains or post-rain irrigation) | Adequate soil moisture at sowing ensures uniform emergence; late kharif sowing risks drought stress during pod filling |
| બિયારણનો દર (એકર દીઠ) | 100 kg/ha (approximately 40–45 kg/acre) | Ensures optimal plant population for maximum canopy coverage and competitive weed suppression |
| હાર અને છોડ વચ્ચેનું અંતર | 60 cm between rows × 15 cm between plants in row | Provides adequate inter-row aeration, sunlight penetration, and peg emergence space for healthy pod set |
| વાવણીની ઊંડાઈ | 5–7 cm in lighter soils; 4–5 cm in heavier clay soils | Proper depth ensures adequate moisture contact for germination while allowing cotyledonary emergence without energy exhaustion |
💧 પિયત અને પાણી વ્યવસ્થાપન
Adequate moisture regulation supports strong vegetative and reproductive growth.
☀️ પાણીની જરૂરિયાત અને પિયત પ્રોફાઇલ
મગફળી AgriBee 24 exhibits moderate drought tolerance owing to its deep taproot system. The crop requires approximately 450–550 mm total water during its lifecycle. Drip irrigation with 2–3 shallow irrigations per week is highly compatible and improves water use efficiency by 30–40% over flood irrigation. The crop is sensitive to both water deficit and waterlogging; balanced soil moisture is critical.
🌦️ Soil ભેજ વ્યવસ્થાપન
Under rainfed conditions, ensure good soil moisture conservation through mulching with paddy straw (200–250 kg/ha) immediately after sowing. Avoid moisture stress during the critical flowering and pod-filling stages (25–65 DAS). If dry spells exceed 7–10 days during flowering, provide a light protective irrigation to sustain peg insertion and pod development.
- ✓
First Irrigation: Apply 2–3 days after sowing if soil moisture is inadequate, ensuring seed swelling and radicle emergence.
- ✓
Vegetative Phase: Light irrigation at 15–20 day intervals during active branching and leaf production, avoiding water stagnation.
- ✓
Critical Growth Stage: Mandatory irrigation at 30–40 DAS coinciding with peak flowering and peg insertion, and again at 60–70 DAS during pod filling for optimal kernel development.
- ✓
Pre-Harvest Water Withholding: Stop irrigation 10–15 days before harvest to allow pod maturation, reduce moisture content, and prevent soil-borne fungal proliferation in pods.
🧪 ખાતર અને પોષણ વ્યવસ્થાપન
Balanced crop nutrition supports robust plant structure and premium produce quality.
| પોષક તત્વ | ભલામણ કરેલ માત્રા (એકર દીઠ) | ઉપયોગ પદ્ધતિ અને સમય |
|---|---|---|
| નાઇટ્રોજન (N) | 20–25 kg/acre (25–30 kg N/ha) | 50% basal at sowing + 50% top-dressing at first weeding (15–20 DAS); balance supports foliage vigor and nodular nitrogen fixation |
| ફોસ્ફરસ (P2O5) | 40–50 kg/acre (50–60 kg P2O5/ha) | 100% basal application as DAP or SSP incorporated during last harrowing for root development and energy transfer |
| પોટાશ (K2O) | 20–25 kg/acre (25–30 kg K2O/ha) | 100% basal with MOP; split if soils are leaching-prone; essential for oil synthesis and overall plant metabolism |
🌿 નિંદામણ નિયંત્રણ અને આંતરખેડ
Timely weed control ensures optimal nutrient and moisture availability for crop seedlings.
-
1
પ્રથમ નિંદામણ અને ગોડ: Carried out at 10–15 DAS using a conformable hoe or rotavator. Early weed control is vital as groundnut is a poor weed competitor during initial growth. Shallow cultivation avoids damaging the taproot and surface feeder roots.
-
2
બીજી વાવણી અને પાળા ચઢાવવા: Performed at 30–35 DAS to bury emerging pegs and prevent exposure. Earthing up supports underground pod development, improves aeration around the root zone, and suppresses late-germinating weeds before they compete with the crop.
-
3
Special Interculture Operation — Mulching: Straw mulching at 20–25 DAS conserves soil moisture, moderates soil temperature, prevents crusting, and reduces weed pressure. In drip-irrigated fields, black polyethylene mulch further enhances soil warmth and early vegetative growth.
🛡️ જીવાત અને રોગ નિયંત્રણ
Proactive crop monitoring and integrated management ensure healthy crop development.
🐛 જીવાત નિયંત્રણ અને સંરક્ષણ
- Pod Borer (Helicoverpa armigera): Larvae bore into developing pods and feed on kernels. Symptoms include frass-filled entry holes and hollowed-out seeds. Control: Spray Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC at 0.3 ml/liter or Emamectin benzoate 5% SG at 0.4 g/liter at 45 and 60 DAS. Use pheromone traps at 10/acre for monitoring.
- Termites (Obliquetermes terminoides): Cause wilting and drying of seedlings by cutting stems underground. Infested plants pull out easily. Control: Apply Cartap hydrochloride 4% granules at 12–15 kg/acre in furrows near the seed row at sowing, or chlorpyrifos 20% EC at 12–15 liters/acre as soil drench.
- સફેદfly (Bemisia tabaci): Sucks sap causing yellowing, curling, and stunting; also vectors Leaf Curl Virus. Honeydew promotes sooty mold. Control: Spray Imidacloprid 17.8% SL at 0.3 ml/liter or Thiamethoxam 25% WG at 0.2 g/liter. Yellow sticky traps at 10/acre help monitor and reduce populations.
🔬 રોગ નિયંત્રણ અને ઉપચાર
- Early Leaf Spot (Cercospora personata): Small circular brown spots with yellow halos on lower leaves, progressing to defoliation. Causal fungus spreads via rain splash. Control: Spray Mancozeb 75% WP at 2.5 g/liter or Tebuconazole 35% WS at 0.8 ml/liter at 30 and 50 DAS preventively.
- Late Leaf Spot (Phaeoisariopsis personina): Larger dark brown to black necrotic lesions on upper and lower leaf surfaces, causing premature leaf drop. Control: Apply Propiconazole 25% EC at 0.5 ml/liter or Hexaconazole 5% WS at 1.0 g/liter at 35 and 55 DAS; ensure good canopy airflow through proper spacing.
- Foot Rot / Wilt (Macrophomina phaseolina): Wilting of whole plants with brown discoloration at the stem base; internal vascular browning. Control: Seed treatment with Trichoderma viride at 4 g/kg seed; apply Pseudomonas fluorescens at 10 kg/acre in soil; avoid waterlogging and ensure well-drained seedbeds.
