Easy method of cultivating bitter gourd in a pot

 

Bitter gourd is a very well-known summer vegetable. However, now bitter gourd is cultivated all year round. Bitter gourd is a very beneficial vegetable for the human body. It can be eaten fried or cooked as a curry. Let’s find out how to cultivate bitter gourd on the roof or in a tub at home.

Benefits of bitter gourd:

Bitter gourd juice contains anti-inflammatory ingredients, which reduce the body’s cholesterol levels. The antioxidants in bitter gourd juice increase the brightness of the skin and hair and help cure skin diseases. Bitter gourd juice is also very beneficial in losing weight. Bitter gourd juice burns fat cells and prevents the formation of new fat cells.

Soil preparation for bitter gourd cultivation:

Bitter gourd can be cultivated in almost all soils. However, the yield is better if cultivated in loamy and sandy loamy soils rich in organic matter. To cultivate bitter gourd, first mix 2 parts loam or sandy loam soil, 1 part cow dung, 20-30 grams of TSP fertilizer, 20-30 grams of potash fertilizer, fill a drum with water and leave it for a week. Then, turn or shake the soil a little and leave it like this for another 4-5 days.

Sowing and transplanting:

To grow bitter gourd in pots, sow the seeds in small pots or seed trays with well-drained potting mix. Seeds should be sown approximately 1 inch deep. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination takes about 7-14 days, depending on the temperature.
Once the seedlings have developed a few true leaves and are strong enough to handle, they can be transplanted into pots. Make sure that there is only one plant in each pot so that there is enough room for growth. Place the pots in a sunny location where the plant can get at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.

 

Irrigation:

The soil in the drum or pot should be soaked with water a day or 24 hours before sowing the bitter gourd seeds. After sowing the seeds, the soil should be leveled and pressed down with your hands. After sowing the bitter gourd seeds, it should be watered regularly. But care should be taken that no water accumulates in the pot or at the base of the plant. Otherwise, the roots of the plant will rot. Therefore, irrigation water must be applied in the correct amount.

Care and Maintenance:

When the bitter gourd tree grows, the unnecessary or dead leaves of the tree should be removed. The soil in the tub or drum should be loosened with a light hoe, then the roots will grow. If weeds grow, they should be uprooted. Keeping the base of the tree clean reduces the incidence of diseases and insects. When the tree is a little bigger, it should be raised. The tree should be sprayed with pesticides regularly. The right amount of fertilizer should be given. After the seedlings emerge from the bitter gourd seeds, the seedlings should be watered occasionally. And the seedlings should be taken care of. When the bitter gourd starts bearing, mustard seed should be diluted with rotten water and given to the tree regularly every 15-20 days. Organic fertilizer should be given to the tub so that the tree can grow by producing food from the soil. If necessary, chemical fertilizers can be used as per the advice of the agricultural officer.

 

Insect and disease control in bitter gourd cultivation:

Bitter gourd trees can be attacked by various insects including flies, pumpkin beetles and various pests including viral mosaic disease, powdery mildew. If the tree is attacked by diseases or insects, pesticides should be sprayed as per the advice of the Upazila Agriculture Officer. Sex pheromone and poison bait traps can be used together to avoid insect attacks.

Radish cultivation methods and nutritional value.

Although radish is a nutritious vegetable, many people do not like to grow radish. Radish contains a lot of carotene, also known as vitamin A, calcium, and iron. Radish cultivation is increasing day by day in this country. Farmers are especially inclined towards radish cultivation in the off-season.

Land and soil

Radish can be cultivated on high, medium high and medium low lands. Well-drained sandy loam soil is good for radish cultivation. Radish growth is reduced in clayey soil. For radish cultivation, the land has to be deeply ploughed and harrowed. The use of ash and organic fertilizers increases the growth of radish.

Seed rate and sowing

1

Most radishes are sown by seed. 2.5-3.0 kg of seeds are required for sowing per hectare. Usually, seeds are sown by scattering. However, sowing in rows is more convenient for maintenance. If sowing in rows, the distance between one row and another should be 25-30 cm.

Fertilizer dosage

Fertilizer name                                       Amount of fertilizer
                                                                      Every century             Per hectare
Urea                                                                       1.2-1.4 kg              300-350 kg
TSP                                                                        1.0- 1.2 kg              250-300 kg
MOP                                                                     0.85-1.4kg             215-300 kg
Dung                                                                        32-40kg             8-10 tons
 

Fertilizer application method

While preparing the land, all the organic fertilizer, TSP and half of the MOP fertilizer should be mixed with the soil. Urea and the remaining half of the MOP fertilizer should be divided into 2 equal installments and sprinkled and irrigated in the third and fifth weeks after sowing the seeds. To produce radish seeds, boric powder/borax must be used as boron fertilizer in the land. 10-15 kg of boric acid/borax per hectare is enough.
 

Care

After 7-10 days of sowing, the extra seedlings should be thinned out. It is better to keep one seedling at a distance of 30 cm. If the soil is low in moisture, irrigation should be given. Irrigation should be given immediately after applying fertilizer per hectare. Weeds should be cleared. When the soil becomes hard, the top layer of soil should be broken with a hoe.
 

Pest Management

Flea beetles often damage radish leaves by making small holes in them. In addition, sawflies, scorpions, and horseflies eat the leaves. Jab beetles cause damage during seed production.
 
Disease Management
Alternaria leaf spot is a common problem on radish leaves. White spot is also seen.
 
Harvesting and harvesting radishes should be done before they become hard and fibrous. However, this possibility has been greatly reduced with the introduction of hybrid varieties. Still, radishes should be harvested while they are still young. This fetches a good market price and tastes good. Depending on the variety, the yield is 40-60 tons per hectare.

Dragon fruit cultivation at a glance

This pink and white fruit with soft skin and sweet smell is very delicious to eat. This fruit is rich in vitamin C, mineral nutrients and is an excellent source of fiber. Many people avoid it because it is more expensive than other fruits. But did you know that you can start cultivating it on a small scale on the roof of your house or in a small space on the balcony. On the one hand, this will save you the cost of buying the fruit, and on the other hand, you can earn extra money by selling this fruit to people around your house. Let’s find out how to easily start cultivating this fruit at home –

Collecting cuttings

If you want to cultivate dragon fruit privately or commercially, then first you need to collect good quality dragon fruit cuttings from a nursery.

Dragon fruit cultivation Time


Dragon fruit can usually be cultivated throughout the year. Since it is a fairly hardy species of tree, you can plant seedlings in almost all seasons. However, cultivating dragon fruit on the roof gives good yields. If you plant seedlings, you will definitely get benefits.
Selection of fruit tub:
You can cultivate dragon fruit in your roof garden in an earthen tub or drum. However, it is best if you choose a 20-inch drum. Because, the seedlings will be able to spread their roots well in this size drum and the yield will be very good.

Selection Soil

For dragon cultivation, choose sandy-loamy soil rich in organic matter. Initially, you have to collect sandy-loamy soil and clean it well. Then, mix cow dung, 50 grams of potash fertilizer and 50 grams of TSP with the soil well. Soak the mixture of fertilizer and soil with sufficient water. Now, leave all the ingredients in your selected drum for 10-12 days. Then, thoroughly rake the soil in the drum with a rake and leave it for another 4-5 days. When the soil becomes slightly dry, plant the collected cuttings in the drum or pot.

Care

If the dragon tree is not properly cared for, the yield will not be good. Although it is not attacked by many diseases and pests, other environmental care must be taken regularly. After planting the seedlings, keep the drum in a sunny place. Since it is a cactus-like plant, it does not need to be watered much in cultivation. While watering the seedlings, make sure that water does not accumulate at the base. To easily drain the excess water inside the drum, make 4-5 holes at the bottom of the drum before filling the soil. Since the branches of the dragon tree are like vines, tie the tree to the pole or tire rack as soon as the tree grows slightly. This will prevent the tree from falling easily.

Plant medicine

Even after good care, dragon trees can sometimes be attacked by insects. If you ever notice that the roots, trunk, or base of the tree are rotting, aphids or mealybugs or insects have attacked it, the tree looks weak, or the color of the tree has turned pale, then you can apply any of Sumithion, Decis, or Malathion to the tree according to the instructions written on the medicine package.

Fruit collection

The fruit can be collected at the age of 12-18 months after planting the dragon fruit cuttings. If the fruit is ready to eat within 35-40 days of flowering, collect it on time. Otherwise, the fruit may spoil on the tree itself.

If it is good, you can take a garlic and take the pods from it and plant those pods

Planting-Garlic-Cloves

 

Time to sow garlic


Garlic is usually planted in late autumn or early winter, as it needs a cold period – most varieties need one to two months at 0-10°C (32-50°F) for good bulb development. However, a few varieties are suitable for early spring planting.

Cultivation method

A channel is made in the loamy soil so that water does not accumulate and the garlic is planted in it. 4 m long and 1.5 m wide blocks are usually made for planting garlic in line. Garlic cloves should be planted in 1 (one) inch deep furrows 3-4 inches apart in lines four inches apart. At the time of planting, cover the cow with the tip facing upwards.

Fertilizer management

Complete cow dung, TSP, gypsum, boron and half urea and half potash fertilizers should be mixed with the soil first while preparing the land. The rest of the urea and potash fertilizers should be applied in two installments in equal proportions 25 days and 50 days after sowing of garlic. Besides, if ash is applied to the land, the soil is loose and the yield is high.

Irrigation

Mulching the soil with a layer of dry kachuripana or paddy straw 4 to 5 cm thick will improve the yield of garlic. In this case, more irrigation is not required. If cultivated without mulch, irrigation should be done every 15 to 20 days depending on the type of land. After irrigation, the soil must be broken after the soil becomes fertile. After 30-60 minutes of irrigation, the irrigation canal should be opened. Irrigation should be stopped 3 weeks before harvesting garlic.

Weeds

Monitor the soil regularly. After irrigation and fertilizing, weeding is done as soon as the joe arrives. Weed control should be done after 20-25 days of seedling growth. If the tree is too thick, it should be thinned. From the seedling stage to the formation of garlic, the land should be cleared of weeds by hoeing 2 to 3 times.
Weather and disasters: If water accumulates on the land due to heavy rains, measures should be taken to remove the water quickly by making drains.

Insects

Garlic leafhopper Emamectin benzoate insecticide (eg Proclaim 10 gm) or Cypermethrin insecticide (eg Ripcord 10 liquid or Simbush 10 liquid 20 ml / 4 mouths) should be mixed with every 10 liters of water and sprayed every 5th century, 2 times after 10 days. have to do Care must be taken when spraying the medicine.

Making Vegetables Garden Box

Creating a box garden for vegetables, also known as a raised bed garden, is a great way to grow your own fresh produce, even in a small space. Here’s a simple guide to help you set one up:

 

 1.Choose a location

 – Get at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day and choose a location that gets plenty of sunlight to give your plant strength.

 – Make sure it has good drainage and is accessible for watering and care.

 

 2.Select the box size and materials

 – Size: A common size is the Sazi 4ft x 4ft or 4ft x 8ft, which is suitable for your space which gives enough space for planting without being too big for your maintenance.

 – Height: Aim for 12-18 inches deep for most vegetables. For root vegetables like carrots, you may want a little more depth. And if you think you won’t grow a vegetable like carrots and radishes, aim for 8-14 inches deep.

 – Materials: You can use untreated wood (cedar or redwood is naturally rot-resistant), brick or cinder block.

 

 3.Make the vegetable box

 – Cut materials: If you are using wood, cut to size. For example, if you’re building a 4×4 box, you’ll need to cut four planks 4 feet long.

 – Assemble: Use screws or nails to attach the sides. Reinforce the corners with brackets if necessary.

 – Place the box: Place the box in a place where the sun shines and set it on the ground, make sure that it is not level so that the water does not flow well.

 

 4.Prepare the soil for the vegetable box

 – Loosen the soil: If planting directly in the ground, loosen the soil slightly for better drainage so that you plant the plants without any discomfort.

 – Fill the box: Mix garden soil with compost to provide rich, well-drained soil. A typical mix is ​​60% topsoil, 30% compost and 10% potting soil or peat moss.

 – Aim for a soil depth of at least 12 inches for most vegetables as the variety gets more vigor with which the plant can grow.

 

 5.Vegetables you can easily plant

 – Choose vegetables such as tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, which grow well together. Consider companion planting to maximise space and reduce pests.

 – Popular choices for beginners are tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, peppers and herbs like basil or parsley.

 

 6.Water and maintenance

 – Water your garden regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged.

 – Mulch around your plants to retain moisture and prevent weeds.

 – Add compost or organic fertilisers during the growing season.

 

 7.Protection

 – Protect your garden from pests with netting or fencing to ensure no bugs attack your plants.

 – You can also add a trellis for vining plants like cucumbers or beans.

 

 This method helps maximise space and makes the garden easier to manage and maintain. Happy gardening!

How to grow eggplant and proper care and maintenance

Eggplant cultivation is a popular vegetable cultivation. Cultivation of brinjal is quite simple and good yield can be obtained with proper care and maintenance. Some of the important steps of eggplant cultivation are discussed below

Soil Preparation

– Soil Type: Eggplant is cultivated in almost all types of soil, from light sandy to heavy alluvial soil. Light sandy soil is suitable for cultivation of early varieties of brinjal. To cultivate eggplant in this type of soil, a large amount of organic fertilizers and other fertilizers must be applied frequently. Alluvial loam and silty loam soils are suitable for brinjal cultivation and the yield of brinjal is high in these soils. The soil selected for brinjal cultivation needs to be deep, fertile and well-drained. Suitable soils and climates for brinjal cultivation are sandy loam or loam to heavy clay soil i.e. brinjal is grown in almost all types of soil. Eggplant generally produces best at 15 to 25 degrees Celsius. If the temperature is more or less, the flowering and fruiting of eggplant is disrupted. Therefore, the winter climate is very suitable for brinjal cultivation.
– Soil Cultivation: The land should be well cultivated to loosen the soil. Weeds should be cleared from the land and organic fertilizers should be added to the soil.

Advanced Varieties

Bari Eggplant-1, Bari Eggplant-2, Bari Eggplant-4, Bari Eggplant-5, Bari Eggplant-6, Bari Eggplant-7, Bari Eggplant-8, Bari Eggplant-9, Bari Eggplant-10, Bari Hybrid Eggplant -3, Bari Hybrid Eggplant-4, Bari Bt Eggplant-1, Bari Bt Eggplant-2, Bari Bt Eggplant-3, Bari Bt Eggplant-4. Besides some local varieties like Islampuri, Khatkhatia, Nayan Kajal, Dim Begun, Shingnath etc.
Sowing seeds: First, the seeds should be well cultivated in a place and the soil should be made like a powder. The seeds should be planted there. When the seedlings grow from the seeds, they should be well taken care of when the seedlings are 1 meter. 8 inch high bed should be made according to soil type. Seed rate: About 0.5 grams of seed is required per cent. All cow dung, TSP, gypsum, zinc, boron and 210 g of potash should be applied to the soil at the time of final cultivation.

Land preparation and planting

Generally, for the preparation of field land, the soil should be plowed 4-5 times and the soil should be disturbed with a ladder. 35-45 days old seedlings are suitable for planting. At this time, 5-6 leaves grow in the seedling and the seedling is about 15 cm. is long Eggplant seedlings can be planted even if they are a little older. If necessary, the seedlings can be kept in the seed bed for up to two months. So that the roots are not damaged during planting, the soil should be soaked with water 1-2 hours before planting. Planting distance depends on variety, soil fertility and production season. Generally: 90 cm in the case of large size brinjal varieties. 60 cm apart in a row. Seedlings can be planted at intervals and in case of miniature varieties 75 cm. 50 cm in a row. Seedlings can be planted at intervals. If possible, the seedlings should be planted in the afternoon so that the seedlings do not dry out soon after planting in the field.

Plant Care

400 grams of urea and 200 grams of potash should be applied for the first time 10-15 days after planting, the second time when fruiting begins and the third time in the middle of fruit collection. Irrigation: Light irrigation up to 3-4 days after transplanting and thereafter after every installment of fertilizer. It is convenient to irrigate the land with drains on both sides of the bed.
Fertilizer application: Eggplant absorbs a large amount of nutrients from the soil. Therefore, satisfactory production of brinjal is not possible without fertilizers. Fertilizer
Quality depends on soil fertility strength. The following amount of fertilizer per hectare can be recommended for brinjal cultivation. The first installment of fertilizer should be applied 10-25 days after planting, the second installment at the onset of fruiting and the third at mid-fruiting. If there is no sap in the land, irrigation should be done immediately after application of fertilizers.
Pest Management: The most damaging pest of eggplant is the eggplant tip and fruit borer. Small red spiders are the main enemy in some areas. Apart from this, thorn beetles or epalakna beetles, jab beetles, umbrella beetles, leafhoppers, leafhoppers, thrips, cutworms etc. damage eggplants. IPM system should be used to control these insects.

Disease Management

Downy and root rot are two serious diseases of brinjal in this country. This disease is seen almost in eggplant fields. Fruit rot also kills many eggplants. Damping off disease in seedbed causes forage blight. Apart from this diseases such as mosaic, small leaves, root knot etc. also cause considerable damage to eggplant crops.

Harvesting and yielding of fruits

Fruits should be harvested before full maturity. Fruits are ready to harvest when they are fully formed but the seeds are not hard. The skin of the fruit will be bright and shiny at the time of collection. When overripe, the fruit takes on a greenish yellow or copper color and the skin becomes hard and spongy. Many can determine whether fruit is ripe for picking by finger pressure. In this case, if it sits when pressed with the help of two fingers and returns to its original state when the pressure is removed, then it is understood that the eggplant is young and if it feels soft when pressed, but does not sit and there are fingerprints, then it is understood that it is suitable for collection. If the fruits are harvested at a very young stage, the quality of the fruit is better, but the yield is less. From the time the fruit grows to near maturity – brinjal is good for eating. Generally, it takes about 1 month to get fruits after flowering. The yield is 17-64 tons per hectare depending on the variety.

I am talking about disease in this blog

 

Diseases and insects Damanjab insect:

This insect damages the plants by sucking the juice of the young parts of the plant. For insect control, any one of approved insecticides such as Rogor L-40, Classic 20 EC, Tide 75 SP, Tido 20 SL etc. can be used.Alternatively, Bycao-1 should be applied.

Rot: The prevalence of this disease is often noticeable in carrot cultivation. Bacterial rot disease occurs on the root and leaf base of carrots. It should be noted that this disease increases with excessive application of fertilisers in nitrogen. Application of excess urea fertiliser should be stopped. Companion 2 g/l water or Indofil M-45 2 g/l water should be sprayed.

Carrot yellow virus disease: Carrot yellow virus disease is often caused by leafhoppers. As a result of the attack of this insect, the small or young leaves of the carrot turn yellow and then curl and noticeably the tips of the leaves on the side of the plant turn yellow and discoloured. Leaf hopper insect control measures should be taken. The affected stems should be cut and the surroundings should be kept clean. Spray either Sabicron 425 EC at 2 ml/l of water or Relothrin at 1 ml/l of water.

Harvesting:

After 70-80 days of germination, carrots are suitable for harvesting as a vegetable. Carrot yield is 20-25 tons per hectare.
