Simple actions:

  • Remove and destroy infested fruits/leaves.
  • 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

  • Monitor soil moisture closely. As monsoon recedes in Bareilly, depending on rainfall, light irrigation might be needed every 7–10 days.
  • Avoid water stagnation in nurseries; ensure drainage, especially after late showers.
  • Use mulching (dry leaves/straw/plastic where feasible) to save moisture and reduce weeds.
  • Prefer drip or furrow irrigation for gourds and tomato where possible for efficient water use.

Conclusion

September in Bareilly is all about smart planning:

  • Raise and transplant nursery crops like tomato, brinjal, cauliflower, and cabbage at the right spacing.
  • Try early pea at month-end to grab higher market prices.
  • Keep a close eye on pests and use light, timely irrigation with good drainage.
