Pest Watch & Irrigation Tips

Key pests to watch

• Okra: Jassids, Whitefly
  
• Cucurbits (gourds/cucumber): Aphids, Powdery Mildew
  
• Leafy greens: Aphids, Cutworm
  
• Tomato/Brinjal: Fruit borer, Shoot borer, Whitefly
  
  

Simple actions:

• Scout twice a week. Check undersides of leaves and growing tips, especially as new growth emerges.
  
• Remove and destroy infested fruits/leaves/plants.
  
• Use yellow sticky traps for whiteflies/jassids, and pheromone traps for borers. Keep fields clean of weeds.
  
• Follow label-recommended sprays only when needed; rotate sprays to avoid resistance.
  
  

Irrigation

• Give light irrigation every 7–10 days for most crops, depending on soil type and crop stage. Young plants need more frequent, lighter watering.
  
• Avoid water stagnation, especially in nurseries and new sowings; ensure good drainage.
  
• Use mulching (dry leaves/straw/plastic where feasible) to save moisture and reduce weeds, as days are getting warmer.
  
• Prefer drip or furrow irrigation for long-duration crops like gourds and tomato where possible, to save water.
