| About
Station
|
Betelvine Research Station, established in 1989
and it has started functioning from 1991 at village
Diwthana Post Chandikapur in Tahsil Akot District
Akola to facilitate the research work on betelvine
in Vidarbha region. The area of research station
is 3.26 ha and situated on Akot-Anjangaon state
highway, a 53 Km away from University campus and
8 Km away from Tahsil Akot. Betelvine cultivation
in Vidarbha occupies mostly in Akola, Amravati,
Buldhana and Yavatmal district.

|
|
| Mandate
|
The basic mandate of research
station is advancement in research, evaluation of
cost effective sustainable cultivation practices and
protection measures in respect to betelvine (Piper
betel) crop. Now, also concentrated research on valuable
medicinal plant Piper longum. |
|
| Research
Recommendations
|
| Betelvine crop
more prone to disease, therefore research center more
concentrated on disease management aspects. Following
recommendation and suggestion so far has been given
to farmers. |
-
Soil solarization of betelvine
garden in the month of April-May
-
The root exudates of Marigold
( Tagetes sp.) reduces the population of nematode
therefore Marigold should be planted before cultivation
of betelvine.
-
Soil application of Neem cake
20q/ha in two spilt doses in the month of July
and December.
-
Application of 1% Bordeaux
mixture to be spread on soil if not solrized
-
Dipping of cutting in 0.5%
copper oxychloride or 1% Bordeaux mixture for
30 minute prior to planting
-
Application of Trichoderma
as set treatment for 30 minute before planting.
Soil application of Trichoderma with FYM 10 Kg/ha
in June and December in affected area
-
Set treatment of IBA or Ceredex
(100 ppm) for rooting of cutting
-
Inter cropping of Pan pimpri
(Piper longum) in betelvine should be avoided
-
In betelvine orchards for
shade and support planting of Pangra (Erythrina
indica) is suggested instead of Shevri (Serdania
aeqyptica)
-
Drenching of 1% Bordeaux mixture
10 litre per 5 sq m in the month from July to
December once in a month or after two month near
root zone of betelvine. One Kg Trichoderma and
9 Kg FYM kept moist for 8 days and applied through
soil @100 g/sq m for control the wilt of betelvine
-
For the control of leaf spot
of betelvine, spraying 25 g Copper oxychloride
or 20 g Dithane M-45 in 10 litre of water, two
sprays at an ineterval of 15 days should be given
-
To minimize the betelvine
wilt, implement the drip irrigation system for
water management
-
Application of Phorate 10
G @ 4 Kg/ acre through soil for the management
of nematode infestation.

| Integrated
Disease Management |
For
efficient management of betelvine disease and better growth
of vine following integrated disease management module recommended
with set of treatments |
1.
|
Trichoderma
(Set treatment + Soil application)
(One Kg Trichoderma + 09 litre of water for set treatment
One Kg Trichoderma + 09 Kg FYM mixed thoroughly and given
@ 100 g/sq m in split dose during June and December) |
| 2. |
Application
of Neem cake @ 20 q/ha in split dose during June and December |
| 3. |
Spraying
of Salicyclic acid 10 ppm in June and December |
| 4. |
Application
of fertilizer 100:50:50 (NPK)
(Full dose of P and K at June and N in the form of Ammonium
Sulphate in split dose in June and December) |
| 5. |
Use
drip system for irrigation system for irrigation to irrigate
the crop |
