Paddy planting started late this year due to prolonged drought. Due to the drought, the rice crop, which was planted late, has now been attacked by various diseases.
Officials have said that the rice crop appears due to mold and the disease is caused by various bacteria. Tekendra Pradhan, the head of the agriculture branch of the city, said that the wilt and gray spot disease caused a lot of damage in a village of Mechinagar municipality-1 of the district. According to him, due to this disease in Gadagalli area, the leaves of paddy were damaged, round spots appeared on the leaves and the spots spread and the plant itself died. After this, a disease caused by bacteria was observed in a village of Mechinagar-15. Because of this, the leaves of paddy are falling here as well .
'The attack of disease on the rice crop has started . Which will continue to increase . Now the paddy is in bud, after 40-45 days of planting, the attack of this type of disease increases even more," says Pradhan, head of the agriculture branch.
He suggested to use pesticides recommended by agricultural related agencies for disease control. He said that after reaching the stage of ripening of rice, the attack of various diseases on the crops will start, and the diseases will be controlled by using the recommended pesticides according to the quantity, micro-organism fertilizers and organic fertilizers.
The head of Agricultural Knowledge Center Jhapa, Sagar Bisht, said that the infection of this type of disease in rice crops is being seen sporadically throughout the district. "These are seasonal diseases, which appear every year," he said. Farmers themselves are also aware of the control of such diseases. However, he says that the Krishi Gyan Kendra is continuously cooperating on disease control.
