Pest Watch & Irrigation Tips

Key pests to watch (Azamgarh, April)

• Okra: Fruit borer, jassids
  
• Cucurbits (gourds/cucumber): Fruit fly, powdery mildew
  
• Leafy greens: Aphids, leaf miner
  
• Tomato/Brinjal: Fruit borer, shoot borer
  
  

Simple actions:

• Scout twice a week. Check undersides of leaves and growing tips.
  
• Remove and destroy infested fruits/leaves promptly.
  
• Use pheromone traps for fruit/borer insects and keep fields clean of weeds.
  
• Follow label-recommended sprays only when needed; rotate sprays to avoid resistance.
  
  

Irrigation (Azamgarh, April)

• Give light irrigation more frequently, every 3-5 days, or as per soil moisture. April heat dries soil fast.
  
• Avoid water stagnation in nurseries; ensure good drainage.
  
• Use mulching (dry leaves/straw/plastic where feasible) to save moisture and reduce weeds, especially important in April.
  
• Prefer drip or furrow irrigation for gourds and tomato where possible, to conserve water.
  

Conclusion

April in Azamgarh is all about smart summer planning:

• Finish harvesting of late rabi crops and prepare fields for summer planting.
  
• Sow quick-growing summer leafy vegetables like Amaranth (Chaulai) for early cash.
  
• Plant summer vegetables such as Okra (Bhindi) and various Gourds (Lauki, Turai, Karela).
  
• Ensure consistent and timely irrigation for all summer crops to combat heat stress.
  
• Keep a close watch on common summer pests and diseases for timely intervention.
