Foliar applications to induce flowering

Foliar application of Urea to induce flowering:
Normal recommendation:

0.5% i.e. 5 gm Urea in 1 litre of water.(1/2 Kg in 100 litres of water) This can be increased up to 1% ( 1 kg in 100 litres)

Foliar application of D.A.P+Potash+Urea+M.N. mixture to induce flowering:
Requirements: D.A.P 2 kg + Potash 1kg +Urea ½ kg + M.N mixture 1kg + Water-200 Litres + Wetting Agent - 200 ml
Dosage : 150 - 200 Litres per acre for foliar application.

Preparation: Soak D.A.P 2 kg + Potash 1kg in 15 litres of water for 12 hours. Stir well and filter the solution. Then add Water-200 Litres, Urea ½ kg, M.N mixture 1kg and Wetting Agent - 200 ml. The resultant solution is as such ready for foliar spray to induce flowering, to prevent flower shedding, fruit shedding and for seed / fruit development.

Foliar application of Potassium Nitrate solution to induce flowering: 10 gm of Potassium Nitrate in 1 litre of water i.e.1%

Foliar application of 2 – 4 -D solution to induce flowering:
@ 20 ppm i.e. 200 milligrams in 1 litre of water (0.02%)

Root zone application of ‘Paegalobutrasol’ {“Kalthar”} harmone to induce flowering:

Apply 5ml of ‘Kalthar’ for trees below 10 years and 10ml of ‘Kalthar’ for trees above 10 years at root zone area of the plant during Aug – Sept period (esp.for Mango Trees) and irrigate immediately.

Foliar application of Gybrelic acid / Cytozyme to induce growth:

Foliar application of Gybrelic acid to induce growth:
1 gm in 10 litres of water i.e. 0.01%

Foliar application of Cytozyme to induce growth:
1.25 ml to 3 ml in 1 litre of water i.e.0.125% to 0.3%, depending upon the age of the plant, type of foliage like young, tender, new shoots, matured leaves Etc.

Foliar application of D.A.P to induce growth

Foliar application of 25% bio gas slurry followed by D.A.P solution:

Mix 25 litres of well-digested cow dung slurry in 75 litres of water and spray. This should be followed within 2 days by giving another spray of D.A.P 2% solution ( 2 Kg in 100 Litres of water). This is to give both organic and inorganic sources of plant nutrients for better growth.

Foliar application of D.A.P to induce growth:
Normal recommendation: 1% i.e. 1 kg D.A.P in 100 litres of water.
This can be increased up to 4% i.e. D.A.P 4 kg in 100 litres of water.
Dissolve D.A.P in 50% of the required water; keep it overnight, filter it twice, then add remaining qty. of water and spray.

Seed treatment and Seed hardening

Seed treatment:
For 1 Kg of seeds mix 4 gms of Dhiram ( Mancozeb) (OR)
2 gms of Carbendazim (Bavistin) (OR)
4 gms of Trichoderma Viridi (Or)
10 gms of Pseudomonus

Seed hardening:

This is to increase number of roots and thereby to increase the yield.
Process: Soak the selected seeds in 0.5% Calcium chloride solution for 6 hours. Remove the seeds and spread on a wet gunny and cover it with another wet gunny for 24 hours. Then dry it in shadow place and give seed treatment using chemical fungicides or bio fertilizers.
