To control the insects, dusting of Chlorpyriphos/Quinolphos/Methyl Parathion dust @ 10 kg per acre is recommended. However, dusting should be performed during clear weather. The alternative method (in the case of unavailability of the insecticides), is of dusting coal/wood ash mixed with kerosén oil.

Stem borer

  • In some pockets, crops are attacked either by stem borer or leaf eating insects. Broadcast granular insecticides like Carbofuran 3G (@12 kg per acre) or Phorate 10 G (@ 4 kg per acre) to control them. However, stagnate water is essential during broadcasting of these insecticides.

Blast and Brown spot
