Arjuni Morgaon. Sometimes it is very cold and sometimes the feeling of heat, while the farmer has become upset due to the changing weather. Due to the unseasonal rain and light drizzle in some areas of the tehsil, due to the changing weather, there has been an outbreak of caterpillars on the crops of gram and lakhori.
To control it, farmers used more insecticides. But there is no visible benefit of repeated spraying. Due to which high quality and expensive pesticides are now proving ineffective. In this, insects are not being controlled especially on the gram crop. Due to which questions are being raised on the effective insecticide of the much-promoted brand.
Despite repeated spraying of insecticides on the gram crop, farmers are suffering financial loss due to lack of control of insects. Due to which farmers have started doubting on high quality pesticides. There is an outbreak of worms and caterpillars on the gram crop, so that it does not grow further, farmers spray insecticides containing worm killer, egg killer component. In the same series, in the changing season, expensive insecticides are also being used for other diseases.
Even after this the insects are not being controlled. On the contrary, the outbreak is increasing even more. Pesticides are used as per the advice of the operator of the agriculture centre. At present, it has become a matter of expenditure to control the outbreak of insects lurking on the crop. In this, farmers are facing financial problems. But the effect of insecticides is not visible. Last year also production was reduced due to such effect.
This time also the same situation is visible. Insecticides of various companies are being used for the last few days to make arrangements for caterpillars and insects. Farmers are spraying pesticides in large quantities. Even after this they are not getting any benefit. If the weather continues like this, the farmers will have to face a lot of problems.
