Pink flip, ie pink milkwarm (BPW) has become a bad dream for cotton farmers in North India. Because of its attack, the entire crop is destroyed. It is very panic in Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana, and many farmers are now avoiding cotton cultivation. According to experts, pink flipped BT cotton crops especially damage. B.T. No one knows that Cotton was found only because he was safe from Pink Chandy’s attack. But now there are most attacks on it. Cotton farmers have begun to suffer, and some have begun to take action like suicide.
What is the ‘gold standard’ of the crop
There are two primary techniques to prevent PBW eruptions, and both depend on the disruption of the reproductive process of the insect. Their cost is 3,300 to 3,400 rupees per acre. Under the first technique, a kind of paste is used near the branches on the stem of cotton plants. This technique is said to be environmentally friendly and is considered the ‘gold standard’ of crop protection in the Western countries.
BB is not technology
According to experts, this paste leaves artificial pheromones that attract male insects. But since these pheromones are at a large level, these male insects are unable to find female insects. It disrupts the reproductive process and reduces the population of Sunday. For an acre of farm with about 7000 cotton plants, paste should be planted in 350-400 plants across the field, three times -45-50 days sowing, 80 days and 110 days.
The second technique, known as PP, is also based on this principle. In this, yarn tumors with a pheromon dispenser are strategically placed in cotton fields so that the male katadas are confused, and they cannot find women. This dispenser should be tied to cotton plants when it becomes 45-50 days.
Spraying pesticides
BT Cotton prepared for Pink Sundi’s opposition is now the victim. Although there are useful techniques to prevent flip attacks, but these methods are not accepted at a large level by farmers. According to experts at Ludhiana -based Agricultural University. By spraying repeatedly, they can store unaffected cotton masonry. But if the insects have already been filed with any boy, it is difficult to save them.
Burn the residues immediately
Experts have recommended farmers to avoid planting of cotton crop for at least one season in pink infections. In addition, farmers should burn crop residues as soon as possible. It should be ensured that there is no combination of healthy and unhealthy seeds (or cotton). The same advice applies to cotton industries that are kept in healthy and aswat seeds separately.
