Paddy farming in Nalgonda
Paddy is the main crop in canal and borewell-irrigated belts, and continuous rice cropping slowly drains zinc from the soil. In Nalgonda, Telangana, the soil is red soils. Red soils drain fast and are often low in organic carbon, zinc and boron, so split nutrition works better than one heavy dose.
Two problems Nalgonda growers keep an eye on in paddy are khaira disease and stem borer and leaf folder. Rusty brown spots and stunted patches in nursery or early field are the classic sign of zinc deficiency in rice.
Other crops grown around Nalgonda include cotton, citrus and chilli, so plan sprays crop by crop rather than one schedule for the whole farm.
