I would like to share you my Experience on growing Broccoli. Avoid these mistakes i made, when growing broccoli.</div><h1 style="text-align: left;">Growing Broccoli from seeds<br /></h1><div>Purchased broccoli seeds from Bighaat website. The seeds are from Bejo company and variety name of the Broccoli is <b>Lucky</b>. Sown seeds at the beginning of October near by the raised bed of pigeon pea. At the beginning it was all growing well. I directly sown the seeds. The water irrigation is through drip. At the beginning everything was fine as you can see in the image. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_OAS91gRFXbW58J5kZ32zuXFtjTZtK_CYqF3UJH5y8CEIk7H_HVUBCOJsklRREjsekfCX2YKgPkJczYfzJ-Yu35i_1afNpZs7eQEVxvCiEmQiR6v_smEMgMh7jOhYBodsfhzOuBRNhAhT/s2048/IMG20201024154504.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_OAS91gRFXbW58J5kZ32zuXFtjTZtK_CYqF3UJH5y8CEIk7H_HVUBCOJsklRREjsekfCX2YKgPkJczYfzJ-Yu35i_1afNpZs7eQEVxvCiEmQiR6v_smEMgMh7jOhYBodsfhzOuBRNhAhT/s320/IMG20201024154504.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><h2>Broccoli growing stages and growing seasons<br /></h2><div style="text-align: left;"> There are four stages of growing Broccoli. The Broccoli takes 50-70 days to complete from seed sowing to harvest Broccoli. Broccoli growing season is like starting transplanting seedlings from February and July. Mostly the Broccoli are grown in the months of Feb - Apr and Jul - oct. This vegetable usually planted in spring, where the temperature is approximately about 60-65 F. It also grows well in cool-weather summer. In each stage of broccoli it requires different temperature to thrive well. The growing stages of the Broccoli are 1. Germination stage 2. Seedling stage 3. Vegetative stage 4. Flowering stage.<br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Broccoli after few days of sowing seeds</h2><div> I applied poultry manure when preparing raised beds. And after that I have sown the seeds. After 15 days I observed it is having stunted growth, I applied cow dung nearby saplings. It went well up to 1 month. Lately I observed yellow spots on the leaves. I just left as it is... Didn't sprayed anything. That leaf has fell down. Thought it was recovering. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi660bBovOxOKEBiCzHNuA4WJ5uLcoIVW-TxXn4c3K6zaHUWPyEEHCMvEnoJ22OWcMr800mx_dCN9rSMp3WP5rcNU4CM1gghXPBL3kc0P2yrU8qvyIMaK9Ur_YTD-1v0uKAxjXsKdij_cs5/s2048/IMG20210213083305.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi660bBovOxOKEBiCzHNuA4WJ5uLcoIVW-TxXn4c3K6zaHUWPyEEHCMvEnoJ22OWcMr800mx_dCN9rSMp3WP5rcNU4CM1gghXPBL3kc0P2yrU8qvyIMaK9Ur_YTD-1v0uKAxjXsKdij_cs5/s320/IMG20210213083305.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Mistakes to avoid when growing broccoli</h2><div>In the plot I planted only drought resistant plants. Such as Brinjal, bottle gourd, pigeon pea, cluster beans, Malabar spinach, flat beans, etc...

Hence, I didn't watered these plants very often. </div><div><br /></div><div>After 76 days I observed curd is forming on the broccoli. Suddenly within three days it bulged to a certain size as you can see in the image.</div><div><br /></div><div>I thought the size will increase, but the size didn't increased. Rather the curd was turning to form seeds as shown in the image.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj85wEF27yb-jURG1vEEO_H0J9_FPTUwgoVN8ETvi7AzsXDLuNuKeMcbwqDFqKGaHNGp8s2g1bbs4qml1BSYvEhNFMJD4_xuIlDd-NruGfvDxyA3oNcOaWB_xf7Xt6PhZFLvwQF3hAYmIS-/s2048/IMG20210213083300.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj85wEF27yb-jURG1vEEO_H0J9_FPTUwgoVN8ETvi7AzsXDLuNuKeMcbwqDFqKGaHNGp8s2g1bbs4qml1BSYvEhNFMJD4_xuIlDd-NruGfvDxyA3oNcOaWB_xf7Xt6PhZFLvwQF3hAYmIS-/s320/IMG20210213083300.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div>As you can see in the image, the seeds are forming. The dried dots are the seeds which are forming. </div><h2 style="text-align: left;">Points to remember for Broccoli growing</h2><div>1. Don't plant them in shade.</div><div>2. Broccoli needs more water.</div><div>3. If you are going large scale cropping, consult broccoli farmer who already doing broccoli farming.</div><div>4. Before large scale farming, search for buy back dealers. There a firm in Bangalore who exports exotic vegetables. Farm Exim, chamrajpet, Bangalore. Mobile no: +918884111995</div><div><br /></div>

Malabar spinach is also known as Indian or ceylon spinach. They are fast growing creepers, which are perennials in nature and they are native to Asia. Most of the people chew the raw leaves of these spinach variety. They are mainly used in salads. The stems of this vine is reddish purple in color. They can grow upto 10 feet height.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><br /></div><div>It is a fast Growing plant which has twining vine and grows up to 15 feet long. Malabar spinach is a Perennial and grows well in hotter climates. In cold climates, the malabar spinach creepers remains smaller in most of the gardens. The leaves texture is heart shaped.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>The edible leaves (and shoots) of Basella alba resemble spinach with a mild, slightly peppery flavor with a hint of citrus and are used in the same way. The young leaves can be eaten raw mixed in a green salad, and steamed or boiled to be used like cooked spinach. Because of the mucilagenous nature, it can also be used to thicken soups and stews. Some people do not like the somewhat slimy texture of the cooked leaves (reminiscent of cooked okra) and others recommend adding a small amount of vinegar to the cooked leaves to make it more palatable. The leaves can be eaten throughout the season, but once plants start flowering, the leaves become bitter.</div></div>

<div><br /></div><div><div>This warm season vegetable is very frost sensitive and should not be planted outdoors until a few weeks after all danger of frost has passed. Start seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before last frost. Seeds should germinate in 10 days to 3 weeks. Mechanical scarifi cation to open the tough seed coat (such as with a fi le, sharp knife or sandpaper) will hasten germination, as will soaking them in water overnight before planting. Transplant in the garden once the soil has warmed, placing plants at least a foot apart.

Particularly fruit trees serves us nutrient fruits to consume... Here is a short brief description on how to plant fruit trres.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you have enough water, fruit trees can be planted at any time of the year. If water is limited, it is best to plant when the soil is wet or at the start of the wet season.</div><div>Techniques for planting fruit trees:</div><div><br /></div><div>1. Dig a hole knee deep, or more if possible. Fill the hole with water. Also water the tree when still in its container.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. Put a pipe (which can be made from bamboo) inside the hole. Place some gravel below the pipe to help with water flow later on.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. Fill a plastic bag with manure and place it at the bottom of the hole. If available, use a bag made of natural materials which will still hold the manure for a long time in the soil. Cover with soil and make a small mound in the hole for the tree to sit on.</div>

Then, place the tree in the hole which has been prepared.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. Fill the hole with soil. Make a shallow trench around the surface for water collection and to help with water supply. Make sure that the top of the tree roots are covered with at least 2 cm of soil to prevent the roots from drying out.</div><div><br /></div><div>6.

Seed balls are a good, simple technique to start reforestation in dry areas, steeply sloped areas, or areas with few or no plants or trees. Place the seed balls in any area you want before the wet season starts. The clay will protect the seeds inside from animals until the rains come. When the wet season starts the seeds will begin to grow and the dry manure will provide some nutrients to help them grow. It is best to use seeds of fast growing legumes, like acacia, leuceana and moringa. The trees that grow from the seed balls will improve the soil and provide protection and mulch for new trees planted afterwards. </div>

</div><br /></div><div><b>Making Seed Balls</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>Choose clay that sticks together (doesn’t break) when rolled into a snake shape. Add some water to the clay so that it becomes easy to shape into a ball. Mix in a small amount of manure, but make sure that the clay will still stick together. First, make the balls, then add about 5-10 seeds in each ball. The seeds must be inside the ball so that animals won’t be able to eat them once they are in nature. Straight away, dry the balls in the sun for 1-2 hours. Leave until dry, but not cracked. Put them in a dry and shady place to continue drying. The balls must be completely dried because if they are still wet, the seeds will grow. When dry, store the balls in a dry place until you are ready to use them.</div><div><br /></div><div><div><a href="https://abcdfarming.blogspot.com/p/sitemap_12.html" target="_blank">View our sitemap</a></div><div><br /></div></div><div><br /></div>Rajeshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05175344557192408238noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296781926649372915.post-71305670674594067482020-11-03T08:40:00.003-08:002023-07-10T20:40:43.650-07:00How to prepare your own weedicide at homeToday we will see how to make your own weedicide at home.

Seed treatment should be done at nusery.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>Downy Mildew: </b>This disease appears from nursery to curd formation stage. Fine Hair like downy growth of fungus is observed on the leaves. Corresponding to the downy fungal growth, minute pinhead brown necrotic spots appear on the upper surface of leaves. For controlling the disease, dense sowing of seeds in the nursery should be avoided.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div><b>White rust:</b> It is a soil borne disease caused by fungus Sclerotiniascelorotiorum. The fungus attacks the bases of the outer leaves and plants suddenly wilt. For controlling this disease, the soil should be drenched with neem leaves extract with water. Deep ploughings should be done, as the fungus cannot survive below 15cm.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Black rot:</b> First signs of the disease often appear along the margins of leaves as chlorotic regions and the chlorosis progresses in the direction of the mid rib forming a V-shaped area. Symptoms may appear from any side and centre of the leaves.

Make your own and use</div><div><br /></div><div>1.<b> Neem</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>Ancient Indians highly revered neem oil as a powerful, all-natural plant for warding off pests. In fact, neem juice is the most powerful natural pesticide on the planet, holding over 50 natural insecticides. This extremely bitter tree leaf can be made in a spray form, or can be bought from a number of reputable companies.</div><div>To make your own neem oil spray, simply add 1/2 an ounce of high quality organic neem oil and ½ teaspoon of a mild organic liquid soap (I use Dr. Bronners Peppermint) to two quarts of warm water. Stir slowly. Add to a spray bottle and use immediately.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. <b>Salt Spray</b></div><div>For treating plants infested with spider mites, mix 2 tablespoons of Himalayan Crystal Salt into one gallon of warm water and spray on infected areas.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. <b>Mineral oil</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>Mix 10-30 ml of high-grade oil with one liter of water. Stir and add to spray bottle. This organic pesticide works well for dehydrating insects and their eggs.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. <b>Citrus Oil and/or Cayenne Pepper</b> <b>Mix</b></div><div><br /></div><div>This is another great organic pesticide that works well on ants. Simply, mix 10 drops of citrus essential oil with one teaspoon cayenne pepper and 1 cup of warm water. Shake well and spray in the affected areas.</div>

<div><br /></div><div>5. <b>Soap, Orange Citrus Oil & Water</b></div><div><br /></div><div>To make this natural pesticide, simply mix 3 tablespoons of liquid Organic Castile soap with 1 ounce of Orange oil to one gallon of water. Shake well. This is an especially effective treatment against slugs and can be sprayed directly on ants and roaches.</div><div><br /></div><div>6. <b>Eucalyptus oil</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>A great natural pesticide for flies, bees and wasps. Simply sprinkle a few drops of eucalyptus oil where the insects are found. They will all be gone before you know it.</div><div><br /></div><div>7. <b>Onion and Garlic Spray</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>Mince one organic clove of garlic and one medium sized organic onion. Add to a quart of water. Wait one hour and then add one teaspoon of cayenne pepper and one tablespoon of liquid soap to the mix. This organic spray will hold its potency for one week if stored in the refrigerator.</div><div><br /></div><div>8. <b>Chrysanthemum Flower Tea</b></div><div><br /></div><div>These flowers hold a powerful plant chemical component called pyrethrum. This substance invades the nervous system of insects rendering them immobile. You can make your own spray by boiling 100 grams of dried flowers into 1 liter of water. Boil dried flowers in water for twenty minutes. Strain, cool and place in a spray bottle. Can be stored for up to two months. You can also add some organic neem oil to enhance the effectiveness.</div><div><br /></div><div>9. <b>Tobacco Spray</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Just as tobacco is not good for humans, tobacco spray was once a commonly used pesticide for killing pests, caterpillars and aphids. To make, simply take one cup of organic tobacco (preferably a brand that is organic and all-natural) and mix it in one gallon of water. Allow the mixture to set overnight. After 24-hours, the mix should have a light brown color. If it is very dark, add more water. This mix can be used on most plants, with the exception of those in the solanaceous family (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, etc.)</div><div><br /></div><div>10. <b>Chile pepper / Diatomaceous</b> <b>Earth</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>Grind two handfuls of dry chiles into a fine powder and mix with 1 cup of Diatomaceous earth. Add to 2 liters of water and let set overnight. Shake well before applying.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you have some easy recipes for making your own organic pesticides, we would love to hear them.</div><div><div><a href="https://abcdfarming.blogspot.com/p/sitemap_12.html" target="_blank">View our sitemap</a></div><div><br /></div></div><div><br /></div>Rajeshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05175344557192408238noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296781926649372915.post-89615551453770136832020-10-20T09:22:00.001-07:002023-07-10T20:40:46.157-07:00Mint cultivation for constant incomeRajeshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05175344557192408238noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296781926649372915.post-21042010416885435052020-10-20T08:58:00.000-07:002023-07-10T20:40:36.237-07:00how to generate electricity for your small off grid homeRajeshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05175344557192408238noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296781926649372915.post-54354805672238721582020-10-20T08:54:00.000-07:002023-07-10T20:40:41.487-07:00How to dig Borewell using small equipments available nearbyWaterRajeshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05175344557192408238noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296781926649372915.post-11352931513536222442020-08-05T09:17:00.004-07:002023-07-10T20:40:34.171-07:00Sorry for inconvenience<div>Edited: Thanks for your patience...
