What is Crop Protection Management<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Field crops are affected by a large number of weeds, pestes\u00a0 disease which cause damage the crops & reduce their productivity.<\/p>\n

Weeds :<\/strong><\/span>
\nWeeds are unwanted plants which complete with main crop for nutrition & reduce the growth of crop.<\/p>\n

Examples of weeds :<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Wild sorghum<\/li>\n
  2. Chaulai<\/li>\n
  3. Bathua<\/li>\n
  4. Parthenium<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Methods of weed control :<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Mechanical methods<\/li>\n
    2. Chemical or use of weedicides<\/li>\n
    3. Biological\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Pests :<\/strong><\/span>
      \nHarmful creatures for our crop plants are small insects which attack the plants in three ways :<\/p>\n

      Insect Pest Control :<\/strong><\/span>
      \nBased on the mode of attack, the insect pests are of following three types :<\/p>\n

      Chewing Insects :<\/span> <\/strong>
      \nThey cut and chew root, stem and leaves of the plants with the help of their chewing type of mouth parts. e.g., grass hoppers, locusts, caterpillars, grubs etc.<\/p>\n

      Sucking Insects :<\/strong><\/span>
      \nThey suck the cell sap from different parts of the plants with the help of piercing and sucking mouth parts. eg. Aphids, leaf hoppers, plant bugs, etc.<\/p>\n

      Borer Insects :<\/strong><\/span>
      \nThey bore and enter different plant parts, and feed on the plant tissues eg. Sugarcane borer, pod borers, cotton ball weevil, grain weevils, etc.<\/p>\n

      Methods of Insect Pest Control :<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. The root cutting type of insects can be controlled by mixing insecticide in the soil.<\/li>\n
      2. The stem and leaf cutting and boring type of insects can be controlled by dusting or spraying the contact insecticides. eg., malathion, lindane.<\/li>\n
      3. The sap sucking insects can be controlled by spraying systemic insecticides.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Disease Control<\/strong><\/span>
        \nA wide variety of plant pathogens such as bacteria, viruses and fungi, exist in our environment.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Pest infect and cause serious diseases in our crops.<\/li>\n
        2. The diseases caused by these pathogens include blast in paddy (rice), rust in wheat, red rot in sugarcane.<\/li>\n
        3. Based on the mode of transmission, plant diseases are of following four types –<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Seed Borne Diseases : <\/strong><\/span>
          \nThe diseases which spread through seeds are called seed borne diseases, e.g., loose smut of wheat, leaf spot of rice.<\/p>\n

          Soil Borne Diseases : <\/strong><\/span>
          \nThe soil borne diseases mostly affect roots and stems of crop plants, e.g., smut of bajra, tikka disease of groundnut.<\/p>\n

          Air Borne Diseases : <\/strong><\/span>
          \nThe air diseases attack all aerial parts of the plants like leaves, flowers and fruits. e.g., rust of wheat, blast of rice.<\/p>\n

          Water Borne Diseases : <\/strong><\/span>
          \nThe diseases which are transmitted through water are termed as water borne diseases. e.g., bacterial blight of rice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
