After the harvesting of summer crops deep ploughing in the fields is advised where sufficient soil moisture is available to facilitate soil solarization.

Looking to the forecast of normal rainfall during monsoon period it is advised for advance lifting of fertilizers from the cooperative societies as well as arrangement of certified seeds of improved varieties and other inputs.

Paddy: (Grain formation to Maturity stage)

Early planted rice is at maturity stage. Harvest when 85% of panicles is ripe. Weed out the mixture paddy for seed purpose before harvesting. Drain out water from the field before cutting. Take out the harvested paddy to caused threshing floor to avoid rain and high wind speed. Rice is infested with BPH and cutworm at different places. To control BPH, Drain out the water. Allow the sun rays and aeration to the ground surface.

Sunflower(Grain Formation stage)

As humidity is low and no rainfall is expected, irrigation should be provided at the critical stages of Flowering and grain formation.     

Groundnut: (Maturity stage) January sown crop is at maturity stage. Go for harvesting after giving irrigation depending upon the soil moisture content Infestation of rust has been occurred . Spray 25 g Mancozeb or 30 g Blitox-50 in 10 litre water.

Summer Pulses (Harvesting  stage)

1: Early sown crop is at maturity stage . Go for Picking of pods instead of cutting plants. Dry them under sun for 2 to 3 days . Late planted crop is at flowering stage. Go for irrigation depending upon the soil moisture content Spray 3 g Endophil-M-45 in 1 litre water to control fungal leaf spot.

Vegetable:  

The farmers having drip irrigation system for vegetables and plantation crops should regulate the water discharge rate accordingly to maintain proper soil moisture around root zone.

Spray bioinsecticide like Halt, Delfin or Biolep @ 1.5 gm per litre of water in Brinjal and Bhindi (Lady?s finger) against fruit borer and in Cauliflower and Cabbage against white fly insect.

Fruit trees :Farmers, wishing to prepare seedlings of papaya plant, sow the seed in polythene bags filled with soil and well rotted cow dung/FYM and irrigate regularly after seeding. Select the suitable place to plant different fruit seedlings and dig the soil as per requirement of fruit tree.

Animal Care:  As the temperature is increasing , give sufficient water and Rice water  to the animals before leaving them to grazing.

Restrict to grazing before 11Am and after 4PM due to chances of Sunstroke.

Pisciculture: Now the temperature is rising which  reduces the oxygen requirement of the fish. So stir the pond water early in the morning from a corner for better oxygen supply. Due to growth stages of fish, the  feeds be given like Rice Bran and Groundnut Oil cake (each of 5 kg per day per acre area of pond)

1. Maximum temperature is likely to be within 45 to 460C.

2. Summer ploughing of fields may be done taking the advantage of this summer rain

Summer paddy: The crop is now at grain maturity stage. Stop the irrigation 10-15 days before harvesting. Harvest the crop, when 90% of the grains in the panicle ripen. Power or pedal operated paddy threshers should be used for threshing. Winnowers should be used for winnowing purposes. Seeds should be dried properly to 10-12% moisture content before storage.

Maize: Summer maize crop is at grain maturity stage. Harvest the crop when the leaves turn yellow and the plants start drying.  

Wheat:  Harvested crop should be cleaned and kept in clean dry bags.

Sugar cane: The crop is at grand growth stage. (  seventeen week) stage. Apply 250kgurea and 85kg per ha. MOP in lines and irrigate the field. As the day temperature is high irrigation should be given at an interval of 7days when the crop is at grand growth stage that is within 101 to 270 Days of planting. Early Shoot Borer infestation becomes severe during April-June. For control, spray the crop with Monocrotophos @1000 ml/ha at 50 days after planting and repeat it after 15 days. Provide irrigation at regular intervals.

Oilseed crop:

 Groundnut: The summer groundnut  crop is at pod maturity stage. Harvesting of the crop may be done when the plants turn yellow and the inside color of the pods become ashy grey. Light Irrigation should be applied before harvesting.

Sunflower: Summer sunflower is at  harvesting stage.Harvest the crop and dry it properly under sun.

Vegetables: To control fruit borer and white fly in Okra, Cowpea, Brinjal apply malathion  or endosulfan @1000 ml/ha. Fruit fly in pumpkin, bitter gourd, cucumber etc can be controlled by spraying Malathion @1000 ml/ha

Animal Science:

To prevent heat stress in cattle and poultry, the shed should be covered with gunny bags during the day and water should be sprinkled over the bags. The cows should be bathed daily with cold water during summer. Avoid feeding the animals during the hotter parts of the day. Feed should be provided during the morning and evening.Do not allow grazing  from 10am to 3pm.
