Citrus Anthracnose (chronic, acute) Anthracnose is a primary colonizer of injured and senescent tissue. The organism grows on dead wood in the canopy, and it spreads short distances by rain splash, heavy dew, and overhead irrigation. Such movement deposits the spores on susceptible tissues of young leaves or immature fruit. Fruits stored during the storage period also often rot due to this disease.As a weak parasitic fungus, it is prone to occur in extensively managed orchards. Oranges and grapefruits are relatively susceptible, while tangerines are more susceptible. Continuous rainy weather may lead to the onset of the disease." Preventing and Controlling: 30% pyraclostrobin 15% difenoconazole + 15% pyraclostrobin 2% pyraclostrobin + 40% mancozeb

What is plant health? Plant health is the capacity of the plant to grow and reproduce normally without the help of any external inputs (fertilisers, pesticides and irrigation). What are the methods to improve plant health? 1. Concious artificial selection of plants and cultivars on the basis of their capacity to give higher yield without using chemical fertilisers and on the basis of their immunity against insect pests, diseases and weeds. 2. Improvement of soil health by applying the methods of no-till, no off-farm input, mulching, cover cropping, multilayer polycropping and mixed animal husbandry.

Sunscald in pepper🫑 : Sunscald occurs on the side of pepper exposed to direct sunlight. but leaves and stems also can be injured. pepper near maturity are more sensitive to sunscald injury than immature pepper. Symptoms are similar in appearance to those of blossom-end rot, but they are consistently associated with exposure to direct sunlight. pepper suddenly exposed to direct sunlight due to defoliation from disease, pruning or stem breakage are most likely to develop sunscald. To prevent sunscald, the internal temperature of the pepper should not rise above 35° C Encourage abundant, healthy foliage with proper fertilization and irrigation.

🌱 Attention Cotton Farmers! 🌾 Protect your crop with these disease prevention tips: Rotate crops with non-host plants to break disease cycles Choose disease-resistant cotton varieties Treat seeds with fungicides or biocontrol agents Plant at recommended spacing for good air circulation Control weeds to prevent disease hosts Manage irrigation to avoid excess moisture Keep fields clean and remove infected plants Monitor regularly for signs of disease Implement Integrated Pest Management strategies Apply fungicides if needed, following label instructions Harvest at the right time Maintain soil health for stronger plants For more tips and insights, follow LIMS! #CottonFarming #DiseasePrevention #Agriculture #Farmers #LIMS #HealthyCrops 🚜

XPES UV Sterilizer Production Process The Role of UV Sterilizers in Aquaculture👇 UV disinfection is a critical component in maintaining water biosecurity at all stages of shrimp farming, from hatcheries to nurseries and grow-out facilities. It effectively inactivates common shrimp diseases such as White Spot Syndrome (WSSV), Vibrio, EMS, and Mortality Syndrome (EHP), without altering water properties or creating harmful residues. This leads to healthier post-larval and juvenile shrimp, which are more resilient during the grow-out stage, resulting in higher survival rates. #xpes #uvsterilizer #uvdisinfection #aquaculture #farm #manufacturer #bacteria

Article on "Pink Rot disease of Potato " Pink rot manifests as a tuber deterioration that typically starts in the eyes of potatoes stored in storage or at or near the stem end of potatoes in the field. While not discolored, infected tissue takes on a somewhat rubbery texture. A dark line at the border of an infected tuber indicates the rotten area when it is sliced. The surface of the decay first turns salmon pink when exposed to air, then it eventually turns brown and finally black. Additionally, plants may wilt and die early as a result of rotting roots and lower stems. In storage, pink rot may continue to spread. One of the main issues with potatoes is pink rot. The pathogen can endure in the soil for extended periods and comes alive when the soil is wet. PREVENTION Mature plants that are getting ready for harvest are most often affected by pink rot. When warm weather is combined with saturated soil, the situation gets considerably worse. Aim to minimize wounding, avoid prolonged soil saturation during irrigation, and steer clear of harvesting wet tubers or tubers with pulp temperatures higher than 65°F. #snsct #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #snsdesignthinking #agriculture #agribusiness

What is plant health? Plants capacity to sustain normal growth, development, reproduction and immunity against insect pests, diseases and weeds without the help of any external input, such as chemical fertilisers, chemical pesticides and irrigation water, is known as plant health. How we can restore and maintain plant health in agriculture? 1. Plant breeding for self-sustainable crops. 2. No Till 3. No off-farm inputs 4. No irrigation 5. Rainwater harvesting and atmospheric water harvesting (biological) 6. Mulching 7. Cover cropping 8. Multilayer polycropping 9. Probiotics 10. Mixed animal husbandry

Our spray programs are designed to help farmers manage common pests, diseases, and weeds. However, it is important to note that while these programs are available for various crops, it is ultimately the responsibility of each farmer to decide when and which crop protection(s) to use for their crops.  Have you used our spray programs before?
