Most of the recent wheat crop varieties are have better yield potential but they are susceptible to aphid (Rhopalsum padi & maidisSitobium avenae). Not only varieties are prone to aphid attack but changing climatic condition are also conducive to such environmental conditions which lead to aggravate its infestation. Up till now, it is suggested that natural check and balance system should be adopted rather than insecticidal spray for aphid management in wheat crop in most parts of Punjab province. In this video, we have informed that aphid monitoring tray has been installed from mid of January just amidst the wheat fields in Wheat Research Institute, Faisalabad. It indicates the incidence of flying aphids which may fall in this water filled tray. Their number increases gradually with favorability of weather condition for aphid multiplication. In the light of increasing trend of adult aphid population falling in this tray, it attack situation may be predicted for central Punjab. Control of wheat aphid is also an essential factor in wheat production technology.
Leaf Rust has been the most important disease of wheat crop and it has been inflicting heavy losses since previous two years. Wheat farmers are very cautious and vigilant against this disease. Fortunately, weather conditions are favorable for wheat crop and not conducive to leaf rust / yellow rust. Pesticide companies are suggesting their fungicides spray in wheat crop but according to our opinion, there is no need of fungicide spray during this year. However, early cultivated crop of especially in rice zone, bumper crop raised with heavy fertilizer, farmers involved in wheat competition and farmers who have grown rust susceptible genotypes like Galaxy-2013 have been suggested to manage one spray of fungicide before mid-February at booting stage and second spray after earing at the end of February. Presently, spot treatment of rust patches has been recommended. Potential fungicides have been suggested if needed during coming days.
