2. Qualities of Dollar 4G
Dollar is a unique potent insecticide
formulated as granules for easy
broadcasting in paddy elds. It has both
stomachandsystemic properties.
Developed foe use against Oragano
phosphorus and organo chlorine resistant
species ofinsects. Longresidualactivity.
Effective at low concentration against both
chewing and sucking insects at almost any
stages. Due to its systemic action, it is
effective against a wide range of paddy
pests such as stem borers, leaf folders,
whorlmaggotandleafhoppers.
Insects discontinue feeding upon ingestion
of Dollar resulting in starvation. Dollar may
also be used to control Shoot Borer of
sugarcane, Diamond back moth of cabbage
and cauliower, fruit borer of brinjal, pest of
chillies .

Rice when it is still covered by the brown hull
is known as paddy. Rice elds are also
called paddy elds or Ace paddies. South
India consumes more Ace than any part of
India. Rice can be used to produce Rice bran
oil from its husk apart from using in regular
culinarypurpose.
There are many varieties of Ace cultivated across India. With
proper led management practices and irrigation facility, Ace
farming would be the protable in short period of time. In India,
Ace is cultivated in Rabi and Kharif seasons. However, in some
parts ofIndia,Aceis beingcultivated3times yearly.

4. Stem borers can beat rice at any period of the plant from seedling
to improvement. They support upon tillers and causes deadhearts
or drying of the central tiller, in the midst of vegetative stage; and
causes whiteheads at conceptive stage.The stem borer
hatchlings bore at the base of the plants in the midst of the
vegetative stage. On more prepared plants, they bore through the
uppercenterpointsandsustaintowardthebase.
The yellow stem borer is an irritation of deepwater rice. It is found in
maritime circumstances where there is unending ooding. Second
instar hatchlings encase themselves in body leaf wrappings to make
tubes and isolate themselves from the leaf and falls onto the water
surface.Theyjointhemselvestothetiller andpenetrateintothestem.

5. The rice whorl maggot (RWM) was discovered as a pest of rice only in 1961. Its
damage was not distinguished from that of other early season insect pests
before the Green Revolution. The spread of irrigation and double-cropping
allowed its density to increase and become noticeable. It is just as abundant on
modern rice varieties as on traditional ones. Other rice-feeding Hydrellia
species are leaf miners but the damage from RWM is different as it mines the
unfurled leaf before it expands, thus creating a unique necrotic lesion along the
margin of the leaf blade. RWM feeds on wetland rice and on a number of other
Poaceaeandsomesedgesintherice eld.
Most of the feeding is done during the rst four weeks after
transplanting but damage is rare in direct seeded rice. It is most
abundant in ooded, but not drained elds. Damage occurs most during
the vegetative stage where new leaf unfurls and damage peaks at 4-5
weeks after transplanting. Minor damage can occur on developing
spikelets resulting in unlled grains. Injury results in reduced plant
height and root length delaying crop maturity. These effects occur
unevenlyhill tohill.

Cauliower
Cauliower is one of a few vegetables in the species
Brassica oleracea in the class Brassica, which is in the
family Brassicaceae. It is a yearly plant that replicates by
seed. Ordinarily, just the head is eaten – the consumable
whitetissuesomeofthetime called "curd”
The cauliower head is made out of a white
inorescence meristem. Cauliower heads take after
those in broccoli, which varies in having blossom buds

7. Target Pest
Diamond back moth
The diamondback moth is one of the world’s most signicant
agricultural pests, costing farmers billions of dollars every year. t
feeds on brassica crops including cabbage, cauliower and
broccoli, and it is well-known for its ability to develop resistance
to synthetic and organic insecticides. New control methods for the
diamondback moth are needed that are effective, sustainable and
donotdisruptenvironmentallysensitivespecies like pollinators.
The adult moth is approximately 8 to 9 mm long with a wing span of 12
to 15 mm. At rest, the moth folds its wings over the abdomen in a tent-
like manner. The folded wings are upwards and outward at the tips.
The wing tips are fringed with long hairs. Moths will utter up out of the
canopy when the canopy is disturbed. The forewing margins have a
series of yellow wavy markings. When the wings are folded while the
moth is at rest, these markings come together to form three yellow
diamonds,hencethename“diamondback.”
8. Crop
Sugar cane
Sugarcane is a tropical, perennial grass that forms lateral shoots at the base
to produce multiple stems, typically three to four m (10 to 13 ft) high and
about 5 cm (2 in) in diameter. The stems grow into cane stalk, which when
mature constitutes around 75% of the entire plant. A mature stalk is typically
composed of 11–16% ber, 12–16% soluble sugars, 2–3% nonsugars, and
63–73% water. A sugarcane crop is sensitive to the climate, soil type,
irrigation, fertilizers, insects, disease control, varieties, and the harvest
period.
The average yield of cane stalk is 60–70 tonnes per hectare (24–28
long ton/acre; 27–31 short ton/acre) per year. However, this gure can
vary between 30 and 180 tonnes per hectare depending on knowledge
and crop management approach used in sugarcane cultivation.

Chilli
Chilli is one of the most important cash crops grown in Sri Lanka.
It has become an essential ingredient in Sri Lankan meals.
Percapita consumption of chilli in the form of dry chilli is
estimated 2.84 kg per annum and the national annual requirement
of dry chilli is around 57,400 mt. The annual production of dry
chilli is about 7,500 Mt. Therefore, an amount of 49,928 Mt is
imported(Year2015gures).
Chilli contributes on an average Rs. 5,000 million to GDP and creates
employment of 5.3 million work days annually. Chilli is extensively
grown for dry chilli production, but part of the crop is harvested as
green pods. The average extent under chilli at present is around 13,000
ha,ofwhich2/3 is cultivatedinmahaseason.
